10 powerful ideas I wish I knew 10 years ago:

Full Benefit

Navy SEALs have a saying.

When something sucks, they say: "Full benefit."

Instant mindset shift.

• Hiking in pouring rain? Full benefit
• Lose draft of a project? Full benefit
• Driving + car breaks down? Full benefit

Adversity makes us better if we let it.
Choices > Feelings

We make too many decisions by how we feel.

• Do I feel like making calls?
• Do I feel like working out?
• Do I feel like studying?

Elite performers prioritize choices over feelings.

They do what they choose to do.

Not what they "feel" like doing.
The Inner Scorecard

There are 2 ways to measure success:

• Outer Scorecard
• Inner Scorecard

The best live by the latter.

They measure success by things like:

• Values
• Principles
• Standards
• Excellence
• Commitment

Develop your Inner Scorecard.
Remember Tomorrow

Amidst struggle, remember how you’ll feel tomorrow.

• When you’re tired
• When you want to quit
• When you’re frustrated
• When you feel defeated
• When you doubt yourself

Remember tomorrow.

You'll feel proud and accomplished if you don't quit.
Winners Make the Most Mistakes

Mistakes come from doing things.

Success also comes from doing things.

If you want to live mistake-free, do nothing.

If you want to win, go out and make mistakes.
F.E.A.R.

False Evidence Appearing Real.

Our mind and emotions trick us.

They make us think feelings = truth.

Logic is the remedy.

Ask:

• What are the facts?
• What’s the worst case?

Calm, rational logic defeats fear.
The Infection of Success

Your past doesn’t guarantee your future.

Some believe success will just repeat itself.

They're wrong.

This belief is the “infection” of success.

Success must be continuously earned.

Learn from the past, don’t live in the past.
Consistency > Intensity

A major habit building mistake people make is prioritizing intensity.

• Read 2 books / month
• Go to the gym 5x / week
• Cut out sugar cold turkey

It’s almost never sustainable.

Prioritize consistency to start.

Do something small every day.
Big Talkers and Little Doers

Some people say a lot and do little.

Others say little and do a lot.

Show people what you can do.

Don't be a big talker and a little doer.
Character Creates Longevity

Ability may get you to the top.

Character is required to stay there.

It’s easy to relax after reaching a goal.

Avoid this complacency at all costs.

Have the self-discipline to stay the course.
I hope these ideas make you better.

Has this man been concealing his true identity?

Is this man a supposed 'dead' Seal Team Six soldier?

Witness protection to be kept safe until the right moment when all will be revealed?!

Who ELSE is alive that may have faked their death/gone into witness protection?


Were "golden tickets" inside the envelopes??


Are these "golden tickets" going to lead to their ultimate undoing?

@EricTopol @NBA @StephenKissler @yhgrad B.1.1.7 reveals clearly that SARS-CoV-2 is reverting to its original pre-outbreak condition, i.e. adapted to transgenic hACE2 mice (either Baric's BALB/c ones or others used at WIV labs during chimeric bat coronavirus experiments aimed at developing a pan betacoronavirus vaccine)

The first ever world map was sketched thousands of years ago by Indian saint
“Ramanujacharya” who simply translated the following verse from Mahabharat and gave the world its real face

In Mahabharat,it is described how 'Maharishi Ved Vyasa' gave away his divine vision to Sanjay


Dhritarashtra's charioteer so that he could describe him the events of the upcoming war.

But, even before questions of war could begin, Dhritarashtra asked him to describe how the world looks like from space.

This is how he described the face of the world:

सुदर्शनं प्रवक्ष्यामि द्वीपं तु कुरुनन्दन। परिमण्डलो महाराज द्वीपोऽसौ चक्रसंस्थितः॥
यथा हि पुरुषः पश्येदादर्शे मुखमात्मनः। एवं सुदर्शनद्वीपो दृश्यते चन्द्रमण्डले॥ द्विरंशे पिप्पलस्तत्र द्विरंशे च शशो महान्।

—वेद व्यास, भीष्म पर्व, महाभारत


Meaning:-

हे कुरुनन्दन ! सुदर्शन नामक यह द्वीप चक्र की भाँति गोलाकार स्थित है, जैसे पुरुष दर्पण में अपना मुख देखता है, उसी प्रकार यह द्वीप चन्द्रमण्डल में दिखायी देता है। इसके दो अंशो मे पीपल और दो अंशो मे विशाल शश (खरगोश) दिखायी देता है।


Meaning: "Just like a man sees his face in the mirror, so does the Earth appears in the Universe. In the first part you see leaves of the Peepal Tree, and in the next part you see a Rabbit."

Based on this shloka, Saint Ramanujacharya sketched out the map, but the world laughed
