“Doctors won’t make you healthy. Nutritionists won’t make you slim. Teachers won’t make you smart. Gurus won’t make you calm. Mentors won’t make you rich. Trainers won’t make you fit. Ultimately, you have to take responsibility. Save yourself.” — Naval Ravikant ¹

“Nothing helps; I must help myself, or I am finished.” — Friedrich Nietzsche

Self-leadership: Be an agent in your own rescue.

Before changing yourself, you need to knowing yourself first.

欲勝人者，先自勝。欲卑人者，先自卑。

You are not going to change the world, but make it slightly better.

“No one is going to come help you. No one’s coming to save you.” — [@gogginsCantHurtMe2018]

Your entire life will change the day you realize that everything is on you. No one is coming to save you. No one will fix your problems. No one can act on your behalf. No one will change your mindsets. No one will hand you the things you want in life. It’s the acceptance that you have to hunt if you want to eat. It’s all on you.

You Should Spend More Time In Your Circle Of Influence And Less Time In Your Circle Of Concern.

• Based on these two circles, reactive people will think more about the circle of concern while proactive people focus more on the circle of influence.
• Your Circle of Concern is all the things you worry about and that influence you but that you have no control over: Federal Government, climate change, etc.
• Your Circle of Influence is all the things you can control: your actions, your habits, your attitudes, your attention etc.
• The more you focus on your Circle of Influence, the bigger your Circle of Influence will get, and the more you can accomplish to help fix things in your Circle of Concern.

The Ever-Changing “You” by Sahil Bloom

There is no Past You to cling to, there is no Future You to worry about. There is just the Present You to take action. You simply exist. You never become, you are in a constant state of becoming. There is just you—The Ever-Changing You.
