Lock In

In every moment of your life, you are present as the doer, the thinker, and the observer.

The doer executes, the thinker assesses, and the observer improves.

Discipline serves the doer.

Goals serve the thinker.

Discernment serves the observer.

All three are always available to you whenever you are ready to lock in.

99 Problems

Problems are inversely proportional to impact.

If you have one problem, the impact is usually fatal.

If you have many problems, the impact is not as damning.

Your People

Who’s the first person you want to share a win with?

Who’s the first person you want to share a fall with?

Who’s the person you share everything with?

Who’s the person you can share anything with?

Who runs to you with their wins?

Who runs to you with their falls?

Those are your people. Prioritize them.

Patterns

All patterns lead to an end.

All ends have a pattern.

It’s easier to recognize a pattern from the end.

You don’t need to be at the end to see the pattern.

Just study endings that came before, and all will be laid bare.

Love

Love is beautiful until it’s not.

It is sweet until it hurts.

Love is all things, including the “but.”

It is forever, even when it hurts.

Too Much

The problem is you care too much.

So much so that you are strangling the joy out of caring.

There is a healthy amount of detachment required toward things you care about.

A simple way to tell when you have tipped over with care is your level of suffering.

When the thing you care about makes you suffer, it is a signal to step back a little.

If you don’t understand the signal, that suffering will become regret.

If you understand the signal, that suffering will become a lesson.
