The 40% Rule

The 40% Rule

  • Most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. When your mind is telling you that you’re done, completely exhausted and not able to go any further, you’re only at about 40% of your potential. When you get to the 40%, you need to tap into a hidden reserve or energy and motivation.
  • Keep fighting when you feel like you’re done, and that’s when you unlock the remaining 60% of your potential.

No One Is Going To Help You

No One Is Going To Help You

If you want something, YOU have to go after it. Don’t wait for someone else to give you the opportunity. Don’t wait for someone else to help you. If it’s your dream, it’s on YOU. If you wait, you’ll be waiting until you’re on your deathbed if you don’t take action.

Life is Not Easy

Life is Not Easy

There is pain, sadness, humiliation, hardship, failed dreams, death, and everyday ups and downs. To be great in life, you need to be prepared to confront this suffering. If you resist it, you’ll cause yourself even more pain. Embrace and get comfortable with the pain. Use it as motivation.

Forget The Quick-Fixes

Forget The Quick-Fixes

Don’t fall for the alluring trap of quick-fix (temporary or inadequate solution to a problem) life hacks. You need to learn how to harness talent, hard work, passion, and obsession to relentlessly pursue your goals. To do this well, you need to master your mind. Without mastery of your mind, you cannot unlock your full potential.

Be A Warrior

Be A Warrior

Be the 1% of people willing to do what it takes. Be the warrior. The warrior trains, battles, and never backs down. If you want to achieve the unachievable, being a warrior is the only way.

Extra Step

Extra Step

To start living your life at full capacity, embrace the “discomfort zone” by pushing past your comfort zone incrementally, bit by bit.

For example: if you feel like giving up after 10 pushups, push yourself to do 2 more. And next time, push yourself to do more, and so on.

What If?

What If?

Next time you’re inspired to do something, but feel that sense of self-doubt start kicking in, stop yourself and ask:

“What if I did _____?” Fill in the blank with what you want to do.

Then, think about this: What would a successful outcome look like?

And finally, follow it up with action.
