The most important step we're taking life is our next one. The law is get our feet stuck in concrete. We get our feet stuck in concrete because we're afraid to make enemies. We're afraid to speak with our mind. We're afraid of being in that group of people and we're afraid what they might say behind your back. All that fear cloud your brain, cloud your thinking. One thing in life we're going to all of your mind.

One thing in life, you're gonna always have haters, embrace them. You are your own hero. You are your own leader. You are your own master. We don't like it. Me's you doing something right. We idolize so many people and we want to be them. We want to be someone else.

And in doing that, you lose all the potential of who you are. You be them. You are them. You become them. If you lose you, you must hold your accountable and being your hero that's what that does you make yourself so totally accountable for who you are you focus on you and only on you to become the best person you could be for others if you start with the presumption that

there's a baseline of suffering in life and that that can be exaggerated by as a consequence of human failing as a consequence of malevolence and betrayal and self-betrayal and deceit and all those things that we do to each other and ourselves that we know that aren't good, that amplifies the suffering. That's sort of the baseline against which you have to work. And it's contemplation of that often that makes people hopeless and depressed and anxious and overwhelmed and all of that and they have the reasons. But you need something to put up against that.

And what you put up against that is meaning. Meaning is actually the instinct that helps you guide yourself through that catastrophe. And most of that meaning is to be found in the adoption of responsibility. People are looking for the excuse and the truth is the excuse is completely valid but that's still not going to change your circumstance. So the test is not whether or not you know the the reasons for not succeeding the test is whether or not you're willing to do whatever it takes to get to that next level and a big part of the whatever it takes actually

is just remain teachable just just be a student student of the game a student of life a student of those who've achieved. Wanting to become extraordinary to transform yourself into something that is truly undeniable, to become so good that they can't ignore you. I believed that my talent and intelligence were fixed traits. I was born a certain way, and life is about making the most of what I've been born with. What I did not yet understand

is the reason humans are the ultimate apex predator, The reason that we have taken over the globe in a way that no other species has is because we are the ultimate Adaptation machine neither the strongest of the species that survived nor the most intelligent but rather the most adaptive to change Stay on the goddamn path and be careful You were better the people around you would be less worse than they are and if you were good enough you don't know how much better the people around you would be less worse than they are and if you were good enough you don't know how much better the people around you would be, if you don't understand that you could do that, then you don't know who you are. If you stop, you get the emotion. You don't get the progress.

So if you talk to any decent athlete, they'll tell you that where the pain starts is when the work starts. Talk to any decent entrepreneur that's built a large-scale business, they'll tell you that they have to go through. So you either get the emotion or you get the progress, but you can't have both. What you build your self-esteem around matters. And whether you realize it or not, each and every one of you has something that sits at the core of how you feel about yourself. And from that, your identity, your sense of self-worth, your self-esteem, it is all built around that thing. Happy exists in a binary. Happy, sad, positive, negative, pessimist, optimist. Those are all binaries. Joy wraps its arms around the full spectrum of the full spectrum of the same.

the human experience. Joy is when you see how fragile, temporary fleeting this experience is. Joy is we're here and we're in this moment. I think it's really important. I think this idea of identity is just so powerful. When somebody asks the question, who are you? How do you answer that question. Things that are robust, that are strong, that are tough, that can take just a lot of abuse before they break. They are still ultimately defined by their breaking point. Something that is anti-fragile, on the other hand, is something that the more you attack it, the more it is pounded on, the stronger it gets. Now imagine being able to build a belief system, the thing that you build your self-esteem around, if all of that were tied to something that is truly anti-fragile,

that the more somebody comes after it, the more robust it becomes. Being a learner is that answer. You come face to face with just how fleeting this experience is, and it heightens your gratitude and appreciation for what you do have right now. Make no mistake about it, like the first noble truth of Buddhism, life is suffering. This is true, and it's worse than that because it's suffering contaminated by malevolence. That's the baseline. And so that's very pessimistic, but the optimistic part is that you are so damn tough you can actually not only deal with that, you can improve it.
