THREAD: Here are 10 insights I've learned over the last 5 years coaching executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes.
On sustainable success, peak performance, and career advice:
👇👇
You've got to put yourself out there. You can't be the person who comes off as too cool to care but is actually just afraid.
Caring deeply makes you vulnerable. Why? Because there's a good chance things don't go exactly your way. But caring deeply is also the key to a rich life.
Trying to be "balanced" does not work.
When you care deeply about something it draws you in. That's the point. You don't need to force some kind of proportionate allocation of your life.
Aim for the self-awareness to PRIORITIZE and CHOOSE how you spend your time and energy.
Find and follow your passion is a load of crap.
Expecting to find something where everything clicks from the get go and is all good from there on out is a surefire way to never be happy.
Pursue your interests. Stay curious. Hone a craft. Passion emerges over years, not seconds.
Wherever you are, the goal post is always 10 yards down the field.
If you develop a mindset, "If I just do this, or just accomplish that, THEN I'll arrive," you're in for trouble. There is no arriving. The human brain didn't evolve for it. Enjoy the process. Be where you are.
