I’m gonna dive straight into the point on this one.
The things you want, the kind of life you hope to have, the money, experiences, relationships, pretty much none of those things comes from chasing the thing directly.
People who always chase adventure somehow miss the best ones, it’s the people who pursue something greater that end up getting that experience as a result.
Take passion for example, most of us (self included) get it wrong. We think we’ve got to find something we love and then commit to it to reap the rewards of fulfillment.
That’s back-assery.
Passion follows commitment.
It’s only after you’ve decided to get good at something, to stick with it for 10+years, to master it, then you experience passion… or fulfillment, or whatever weird spiritual connection you were looking for.
My point is this, doing what you don’t want is often the straightest path to your goals and dreams.
Had I stuck to what I’m doing now but sooner, I’d already be where I wanted to be.
STOP looking for love.
Pick something, anything, just make sure you can stick with it.
Pick a skill that you could learn for 10 or more years, it just has to be semi-interesting for you, that’s the key.
After a while, your mind will rework itself, and you’ll start reaping the rewards you used to fantasize about.
Fuck Dreams, Get Good.
That’s far more fulfilling.
