(9 Steps to Transforming your Life in One Year)

>>THREAD<<

 Before we get started, understand these 3 things:

1.) You will not achieve your goals overnight

2.) Some of these steps will make you uncomfortable

3.) There will be times where you struggle

Not okay with this?
Stop reading.

Ready to make shit happen?
Then let’s begin 👇
#1: Remove all sources of negativity.

- Toxic friends
- Bad relationships
- Disrespectful family

Most people have no interest in growth..

No interest in getting better..

But that’s not you.

NEVER let these people into your life.

And if they are…

GET THEM OUT
Find positive people.

Find people who want to get better.

Find those who are genuinely happy seeing you succeed and SURROUND yourself with them..

They exist, but you have to find them.

“3 great friends is better than 20 ‘eh’ friends.”
#2: Lift weights and eat right.

Imagine going from:

~ Fat
~ Acne
~ Skinny
~ Little arms
~ & Swimming in your clothes..

To:

~ Toned
~ Muscular
~ Clear skin
~ Having a jawline
~ & Filling your clothes

Your confidence skyrockets, you feel amazing, the rest of your life improves
Here’s my advice to making this happen:

1. Lift weights 3-4x per week
2. Eliminate all sugar (fruits are an exception)
3. Eliminate snacking
4. Intermittent fast (4-6 hour eating period)

(cont..)
5. Get tons of protein & vegetables
6. Keep it simple

(Find YOUR routine, something YOU can stick to, consistency is all that matters here)
#3: Buy clothes that fit.

$500 oversized Supreme shirts make you look like a child.

Put on some muscle & buy clothes that fit.

You’ll save money, you’ll look more mature, and you’ll be 1000x more attractive

@WellBuiltStyle has an amazing account for this.
#4: Fix your attitude

One of the quickest ways to have someone thinking “Damn… you’ve CHANGED!”

is by changing your attitude towards everything:

• How you control emotions
• Your reaction to bad news
• Your outlook on the future

(Here are a few attitude-fixing habits)
A) If someone disagrees with you, ask questions instead of getting defensive.

B) Avoid gossip at all costs.

C) Eliminate ALL complaining. No one likes somebody who bitches all the time.

D) Take blame for everything. There is always SOMETHING you could’ve done better.
E) Talk less & listen more. You’ll appear more mature, respectable, and interested.

F) No matter what it is, you’ll get it figured out. (If someone else has done it, you can too)

G) You can have whatever you want if you work for it. Engrain this in your mind.
#5: Be smart with your money

We all know someone who is god-awful with their money.

If one day, that person told you they made $10,000 last month and they’re building a business..

YOU’D BE SHOCKED!

So get your money right.

(Here’s my advice) 👇
A) Get a better job. Waiting at a high-end restaurant or car sales at a well-known dealership can have you earning $60,000 your first year.

B) Quit buying dumb shit. Gucci shoes, $500 bottle service, multiple $60 video games.. YOU DON’T NEED IT.
C) Build something that’ll pay you while you sleep. You can’t work 24 hours/day, but your twitter account can.

D) Learn a skill that you can charge $1000s for (Facebook Ads, Web Design, Email Marketing)

This is the quickest way to transform your financial status

(cont..)
Your New Year’s Resolution:

- Find businesses
- Help them get more customers
- Charge $2000/mth to do so

With no experience required, you can learn it all here: https://t.co/8kX8O8bRxM

5 Clients = $10,000 per MONTH 💰

The #1 Resource to help you get there 👇
#6: Surround yourself with greatness

Want to get in shape?
- Surround yourself with fit people

Want to become wealthy?
- Surround yourself with wealthy people

Want to become a failure?
- Surround yourself with people that have no future

It’s that simple.
#7: Be confident

• Eye contact in conversations
• Say less than necessary
• Speak loud & clear
• Walk with authority
• Firm handshakes

Practice each of these points.

People find this attractive, and if you weren’t doing this before, they will surely notice.
#8: Read

No.

Reading isn’t going to make you “look” different..

But depending what you read,

It will transform the way you think, write, & behave.

(Here are some of my Top Book Recommendations📚) 👇
📖 When I Stop Talking You’ll Know I’m Dead - Weintraub

📖 How to Win Friends & Influence People - Carnegie

📖 The Millionaire Next Door - Stanley

📖 The One Thing - Keller

📖 Atomic Habits - Clear

These books will put the right information in your head.
#9: Have an open mind

If you’re completely closed off to new ideas,

You’ll never grow.

~ Consider other options
~ Put yourself in their position
~ Believe that you CAN be wrong

Open-minded people see opportunities where most people do not.
And finally, we are done.

2020 was a trainwreck for most people, and those same people will say the same thing about 2021..

Following these 9 steps will give you everything you need to go from a:

“2020 SUCKED!” person..

To a:

“2020 WAS AMAZING!” person.

(cont..)
I hope you make the best of this new year.

But ultimately:

—> Things are what you make of them.

Be patient when working on the steps on this thread.

I genuinely thank you for reading.

Much love,

and Happy New Year

X : We need to adapt to our new reality.
Me : A question?
X : Should we start with organisation or operating model first?
Me : Neither. Start with doctrine i.e. basic principles of your company. This will lead you to landcape which will lead you to structure + operating model.


X : Don't we need to get the structure right though?
Me : Structure against what? If you don't understand the landscape that you operate in then how do you structure around it? How do you decide what your operating model is? Awareness comes first and that needs those principles.

X : Explain?
Me : Pretend you're running a tea shop (I'm a Brit, I like tea shops). First thing you need to do is to know who your users are - the public, the business for example (there are more like regulators etc).


... but just knowing the users is not enough, you need to know what they need i.e. a cup of tea, maybe something more like entertainment or a nice piece of fruitcake


... but just knowing what they need is not enough, you need to know what goes into making a cup of tea, the chain of chains that it is built upon. You need to know the details ...

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

Listen to Aditya


And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]

Shy people are either overthinking or highly observant of the social setting.

And in many cases it can be both.

'So what do I do?'

You learn the 75/25 law.

'What is that?'

The law of charisma...👇

Let's address the over thinkers first.

Do you have any idea why you overthink?

'Yea. Because others are judging how shy I am.'

Incorrect.

Others are thinking about themselves, not you.

But the fact that you think they are thinking about you, you fuck up the interaction.

Now you stay in your head too much & avoid the present moment.

A major no no in the social world.

Your tendency to think that others are judging you for being shy, coincidentally makes you more shy.

And that's when you start giving off a strange vibration to the social setting.

This is when you begin attracting comments like 'why are you so quiet?'

10-Life Lessons From The One & Only @naval

~Thread~

“You want to be rich & anonymous... Not poor & famous.”

The goal is to get rich & disappear, not to get noticed!

The problem is that too many people are chasing clout instead of wealth.

Clout is not gonna put food on the table in 5 years. Change your priorities!

“I don’t have time” is just another way of saying, “it’s not a priority”

Being “Too busy” is a myth,

People make time for the things that are important to them.

If you haven’t made enough time then it’s simply because you haven’t convinced yourself it’s a priority.

“Earn with your mind, not with your time”

You’ll never get rich trading your time for money...

Reason being? Because you only have 24 hours in a day & you can’t work non-stop.

Use your mind & money to create a product that will generate you money even while you sleep 🥱

“You can escape competition through authenticity... No one can compete with you on being you”

No 2 humans are exactly the same, there’s something that makes each of us unique.

Find what makes you different & capitalize.

Your biggest competitive advantage is your originality!

@ChenHuailun here. I'm adding a supplementary thread before today's scheduled one to expand on the origins and early history of the Church of the East (aka the Nestorian Church) ~ahc #jingjiao 1/


The Church of the East traces its origins to the christological position of the School of Antioch, which held that the human and divine and human essences (ουσία) of Christ were united in a single prosopon (πρόσωπον). ~ahc #jingjiao 2/


This ran against the position of the School of Alexandria, which held that the two essences of Christ were united in a single hypostasis (ὑπόστασις). In general terms, hypostasis is more inherent than prosopon. ~ahc #jingjiao 3/


One implication of the Antiochene rejection of the hypostatic union is that Mary could not accurately be called the Theotokos, or God-bearer. Instead, she is the Christotokos, the Christ-bearer. ~ahc #jingjiao 4/


These Christological debates were further complicated by Syriac terms such as 'kyana' (ܟܝܢܐ), associated with 'ousia' but later translated to 'hypostasis' by Syrian Orthodox; and 'qnoma ' (ܩܢܘܡܐ), sometimes contentiously translated as 'hypostasis' or 'person.' ~ahc #jingjiao 5/

Santkumaras-The four adorable kids of the Universe.

The Kumaras r the four sages who roam the Universe as children from the Puranic texts of Hinduism named,Sanaka, Sanatana,Sanandana& Sanatkumara.They r described as the first mind-born creations &sons of the creator God Brahma.


Brahma,who had received the knowledge of Puranas from the Universal being(God Himself), imbibed this to his 4 Kumaras.
Sanat Kumaras then taught the Puranas to Narada.Narada transmitted it to Krishna Dwaipayana who in turn scripted them in monumental epic documents of 18 Puranas.

The Vishnu Purana is recorded in two parts,the Vishnu Purana & Naradiya Purana.The teachings of Sanaka of the Kumara brothers r contained in the Naradiya Purana which is also divided in two parts, the first part containing the teachings of Sanaka &second part,teachings of others.


Born from Brahma's mind,4 Kumars took lifelong vows of celibacy against their father's wishes.They r said to wander throughout materialistic &spiritualistic universe without any desire but with the aim to teach.All 4 brothers studied Vedas from their Childhood&travelled together.


The Bhagwata Purana lists the Kumaras among the 12 Mahajanas(great devotees or bhaktas) who although being eternally liberated souls from birth, still became attracted to the devotional service of Vishnu from their already enlightened state.

I'm gonna do my other star wars thread tomorrow, which will primarily be me yelling at a @RowanKaiser-shaped strawman for calling the First Order and The Resistance "cosplayers who the rest of the galaxy has to deal with"

the deal w/the New Republic, the First Order, and the Resistance is very weird and complex and I actually take issue with how Story Group frames the actual conflict.

pre-TFA stuff is presented as a "cold war" between the New Republic and the remnants of the Empire that form the First Order, which 100% makes sense.

But they frame the First Order's attack on the Hosnian system and the subsequent battle that takes place across TFA and TLJ as a full on war when it's very clearly a coup. A war implies at least equal standing, but the First Order completely wrecks shop and takes over the galaxy.

ok never mind I'm fucking doing this now.

The First Order fleet we see in TLJ is *not* the entire fleet of the First Order (I don't even think Starkiller Base was their main base of operations honestly, it couldn't have been considering they were operating out of Wild Space)

Post Independence, Army wanted to select the most experienced Indian commander as Army chief. But Nehru without consulting anyone appointed Gen Rob Lockhart, a senior British Army officer as the Commander-in-Chief (C-in-C) of the Indian Army.


Most people were shocked to know that Nehru selected a British Man after fighting for independence for over 200 years! Major Gen A A ‘Jick’ Rudra of the Indian Army was completely upset with the decision.


One day Lockhart met Nehru with a strategic plan and proposed many government directive defence policies for the country. He placed it on the table and explained the point to PM Nehru. After a while Lockhart walked out of the room and met AA Jick Rudra,+

Lockhart looked shell shocked and stunned. When asked what happened he said “The PM took one look at my paper and blew his top. Rubbish! Total rubbish! We don’t need a defence plan. Our policy is ahimsa (non-violence). We foresee no military threats. Scrap the army!”

One year after the incident the Kashmir crisis had increased and Gen Lockhart used to exchange ideas with the Gen Douglas Gracey who was commander in chief of Pakistan Army.There were many infiltrations along the border which Lockhart knew and took no action. But Lt Gen Cariappa+

Rani Chennamma of Kittur was one of the first women rulers of India who fought against the might of the British Empire in 1824. Rani Chennamma was born in 1778 in a small village of Kakati in Belgaon distt of the State of Karnataka.


She was born into the Lingayat Community to a man named Dhulappa Desai. From a very young age she was trained in horse riding,sword fighting, archery and diplomacy. At a very young age of 15 yrs, she was married to the King of Kittur and became the Queen of Kittur.


It is said that King of Kittur Mallasarja was once moving around in the neighbouring kingdoms to find support to fight Tipu Sultan. It is then, when he came across Chennamma and he immediately got attracted to her sheer confidence and bravery.

Rani Chennamma and King Mallasarja had a son together who died very soon after the death of King Mallasarja in 1816. As the Queen of Kittur, Rani Chennamma immediately adopted Shivalingappa as her son and declared him the heir to the throne of Kittur.

This did not go well with the British East India Company who was enforcing the Doctrine of Lapse those days, according to which the adopted children of the Indian rulers were not allowed to become their heirs and if the native rulers did not have children of their own, their...
