Was du mitnimmst
- Wenn du denkst, etwas müsste eigentlich einfach sein, ist das oft ein Zeichen für eine Opfermentalität.
- Die Schuld nach außen zu schieben nimmt dir die Kontrolle über dein eigenes Leben.
- Echter Erfolg dauert Jahre, nicht wie im Film die 90 Sekunden Montage bis alles gelöst ist.
- Die Ungewissheit, ob es klappt, ist genau das, was den Weg dorthin lohnenswert macht.

0:00But despite that the must be easy mantra is the easiest indicator that you have a victim mindset because what it means is I can't achieve this thing because on some level if you say it must be easy there's some level of desire that's there you're like I'd like to achieve some aspect of this and then rather than feel the pain of saying that I'm inadequate or I'm not taking action we we cast our our inadequacy on some outside object or some outside circumstance and by doing that we remove all agency and all power that we have over our our lives. And for me, I would rather be somebody who has absolute power and have nothing to show for it than somebody who has all the all the the things to show for it, but know that I'm life's [ __ ] Life being one protracted training montage is a really important lesson to learn. The fact that in the Rocky movie, it is 90 seconds and then everything is fixed and that can last for decades.
0:59that can last for years. And I think that the lack of glory, the lack of certainty, >> Yeah. >> it it makes it it turns it from worthwhile majesty into it's it's not even sufficiently triumphant to be called sad. like it's just like weak and pissy and you have no idea if anything's going to work. But what's the alternative? Entropy is going to come and [ __ ] get you. [snorts] So what's the alternative? Like my Twitter bio says locally reversing entropy. And I I I think that
1:40>> that really is what you should try and do because it's going to [ __ ] come for you. >> The lack of certainty is what actually makes it worth it. And so here's my point. Let's think, let's consider the alternative which is that you are on the path and you are guaranteed to know that you're going to get the outcome. All of the mystery is gone. There is no excitement. Which is why they said, you know, in the ancient Romans or sorry, ancient Greeks would say that the gods always envied the mortals because their life was so ephemeral. They had so much chance that could happen to them, right?
2:09Where the gods always knew that they weren't going to die and it was completely guaranteed. And so what we do is we basically have this wish that if it actually came true, we would hate it even more than our current circumstance. If you knew that you were going to succeed, it wouldn't be worth doing to begin with. The fact that you are uncertain when you start is what makes it worthwhile. And the fallacy of being in the pursuit is the worry or the concern that it won't amount to anything because who you are becoming is the thing that you are amounting to in real time every day.
2:41This was something that Mark Manson tweeted. He put it in his newsletter actually and it made me think of a lesson that I learned a long time ago. Stop complaining about the results you didn't get from the work you didn't put in. The only way to become more successful than most people is to be willing to do something most people aren't willing to do.
