Forget goal setting.
As an ex-miserable setter, I used to live for my future desires which ironically meant, putting off to live til I achieved them.
I’m living now more than I ever have, seeing success, and I’m honestly enjoying my life.
There isn’t anything to complain about and that’s from the compound interest of me refusing to accept the defaults of my mind and constantly seeking to maximize my environment.
There’s some value in that “make yourself at home.”
Not in the sense of comfort, but more so not being afraid to move things around to better suit you.
This is key to life and should be applied to everything.
The mindset I’m constantly forcing myself to practice is this: There are a ton of things I don’t like and don’t want to do, but since I have to do it– F**K IT, I’ll go all out and bring the fun.
Play brings success.
Life is largely a single player game, and you’re responsible for your own happiness. But most of us are shit at this.
We tie our fulfillment to future destinations that may or may not happen, that we may or may not want, and then find ourselves feeling uninspired to move towards those very things because each day feels lifeless.
Maximize the game itself or rather, “make yourself at home.”
Too often, we’re mentally cheating reality to dream up some dumb world where we’re inspired and fulfilled 24/7. What in life actually works like that?
Even the things you enjoy took developing.
The more you do something, the more you find joy in doing it.
I’m not saying don’t dream and don’t aspire for more– rather, practice being happily dissatisfied.
No matter what, I’ll play this game while still being ambitious and moving towards more.
The difference here is I’m not waiting or fantasizing, just maximizing what I can.
Live today.
