Another buzzword filled "the secret to success" kind of text. I was really hoping that we could escape these generic AI generated texts in substack, but alas, the human being just can't help itself.
My best friend used to ask me if I was in control of knowledge or if knowledge was controlling me? I think he saw that I was merely entertaining myself to death by absorbing so much self-help content.
Now that I apply what I've learned through consistent, imperfect action, it really has made a difference in my life. It helped me go from being my own worst enemy to my own best friend.
I wrote post this week on the fact that knowledge is not power that it needs action for it become a change in our lives. I felt affirmed seeing that make your list. I agree all those things are components to success.
The final paradox was the secret of my success. I knew with great certainty that I would experience soul death working as an employee my whole life. The moment I woke up on my first day of self employment, at age 24, I felt immediately successful. Through all the financial struggles, uncertainty about the future, being literally unemployed everyday until I produced something, and generally earning far less than my age group peers until the age of forty, every day I was self employed was a successful day. And yes, it did pay off financially. Big time. Kinda came as a surprise, really.
Many of these things are also part of the individuation process that Swiss psychologist Carl Jung proposed as a way to become oneself. I like many of your practical tips, but not ideologist BS. Thanks so much for this.
Sounds good. I'm going to get started tomorrow! Or maybe the tomorrow after that. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
As for today I'm going to focus on successfully drinking this here bottle of wine. Sure glass 1-4 are easy but I'm walking the path less taken. Cause it's glass five that takes discipline to follow through even when your body is like, no please, my liver hurts. That's when you turn to your body and say shutup body, you take your medicine and commit to finishing something for once in your life.

I loved this. Thank you

And that's the secret of my success.
Moar Bullshit.
One succeeds because;
Good Money, Good Family, Good Teachers. A total contempt for everyone else. Pick Three.
And by the way, I suggest you pick the last of the four at the top of the list.
I don’t usually read this self-help bs BUT, this made so much sense! Thank you!
