Firsthand experience makes stronger impression.

Some things you’ll never grasp unless you’ve experienced them.

 

It’s often impossible to get unstuck without getting one’s hands dirty.

 

The subconscious pulls us back, as we wonder why we’re stuck,

We only get unstuck once we believe, truly believe, that something is possible

 

The subconscious doesn’t care about your “ideas”

It only cares about the experiences

 

Most our wants will never materialize. That’s because we don’t really believe in them.

We have no experience of the reality of our dreams. Subsequently, our actions are not the actions needed to get it.

(In fact — our actions are usually the actions needed to keep us stuck, keep us within the confines of our identity, and never peek beyond)

 

I don’t believe in great determination or great motivation,

I believe in action, simplicity, and SIMPLE ACTION.

I believe unless you’re simple you will delude yourself.

I believe unless your actions are simple — they will not lead you where you want to go.

 

Action must be simple

DIRECT

No vague long-term nonsense

A very concrete step

AS SMALL as it needs to be

 

Simple, concrete action leads to concrete, discernible results

You want to perceive

You want to have direct contact with it

You want to feel it and know it

This is how you know it is real and not unreal, and not an idea of your mind

 

Concrete action should lead to concrete result should lead to concrete feedback, concrete perception, should convince you IT IS FOR REAL

once you know it is for real

you can make another step

and another step

and another step

this is how you get somewhere

 

PLANS are good for engineers

plans are not good for UTTERLY REINVENTING ONESELF

plans are good when the results are predictable

plans are terrible when you plunge into the unknown

 

take simple action

get direct results

 

sell your maps and get a compass

then move, one step at a time

 

sell your plans and get a direction

then move, one step at a time

 

please be simple

make a simple, square decision

take the simple, direct action

get actual results

be modest and unpretentious about it

love what you’re doing

and you’re good to go
