#59 - Don't Aim To Win It All
Hello friends,
Let me share something I learned from Gary Vaynerchuk (Vee) that I can't seem to get off my head with you.
Never go about life aiming to win 10 of 10 attempts.
Rather, go about life to win 40 of 100 attempts. The secret here is more attempts, more shots, more iteration.
The former person is someone that sees failure in life's journey as a bug. The latter embrace failure as part of the journey.
Over-optimization against failure is a futile attempt that keeps your back to the ground and perpetuates you in your comfort zone of zero growth.
Failure isn't fun nor is it something to start looking around for. However, if you look for success well enough, failure is equally guaranteed to find you. Embrace such failure that you find on your way to success. They are good.
3 Ideas To Challenge Your Mind
Everything happens for a reason but it is our responsibility to choose the most empowering reasons for the challenges, events and circumstances of our life.
We mistakenly believe that who we were is who we are, thus limiting our true potential in the present, based on the limitations of our past.
What I found was that whether I got nine, eight, seven, six, five, or even just four hours of sleep, as long as I consciously decided, before bed, that I was getting the perfect amount of sleep – that the hours were going to energize my body to feel wonderful in the morning – I consistently woke feeling better than I ever had before. However, don’t take my word for it. I encourage you to experiment with this yourself.
These 3 ideas are from the book Miracle Morning. Read my complete summary of the book here.
Things I am exploring right now
The latest book that I added to my growing collection is “7 Rules of Power: : Surprising - But True - Advice on How to Get Things Done and Advance Your Career.” I wrote about my initial thoughts on the book on LinkedIn
An average of 10,000 people are exposed to my thoughts per week. But my website www.davidalade.com remains the best curated source of all these information. Please always visit it.
