Most people feel trapped.
Their mind feels narrow and small.
They can’t escape the bubble of repetitive negative thoughts.
They lack clarity on what to do with their life.
They don’t know that “one thing” they want to commit to because everyone in the self-help space yells at them to focus on “one thing,” but that completely misses the point.
(You don’t focus on one thing. You focus on one mission, which forces you to focus on many things. Focusing on one thing is a surefire way to become dependent on that thing and never adapt.)
They have these random ambitions like gaining some followers on social media, starting some random business they found out about online, trying to “get a girl” to end their loneliness, or any other thing they can latch onto for some sense of direction in their life. Those things in particular, like building a business, seem worthwhile because at least it’s a different path from the dead-end one that our botched culture set them on.
It’s no wonder why most people fail to start.
It’s no wonder why they question everything they do.
It’s no wonder why most people struggle to achieve anything worthwhile.
So they slowly start to accept that maybe they were meant to be average. Maybe you were meant to wake up, hit snooze 4 times, walk the dog, commute to work, act like you enjoy the people there, act as you care about your tasks, commute home, argue with your significant other, watch TV, pass out, repeat.
But there’s something missing.
You’re trying to achieve freedom with a mind that was conditioned to be a servant.
That’s like trying to put a square block in a circular hole.
It will never work.
How To Figure Out What You Want In Life
Humans are natural generalists.
Humans build tools to adapt to different niches and environments.
Animals, on the other hand, like lions in the Sahara or polar bears in Alaska, wouldn’t survive if they were thrown into a different niche.
