Winning those games means a better, more meaningful and successful life. And losing a game isn't the end of the world if you realize that there's always another to be played. Wealth game, health game, fun game, adventure game, family game, and so on.
Life is a series of games (I’m writing a book on this, we’ll see if it helps anyone). (If you want to boost mental performance, energy, and creativity, check out our supplement, Man Brain) The most powerful stimulant in life is excitement.īe angry that you’re not where you want to be and do something about it.įind things that excite you and do those things. The more energy you have, the more you’ll get done, the more fun you’ll have, the more you’ll enjoy life and win in life. You’ll learn more from doing than from thinking. What I’ve found as the best way to deal with this difficult task, is to think about it, of course, but to do a lot of different things. Figuring out the right thing to do is far more difficult. You get to choose how to think, you may as well think in a way that benefits you.įiguring out what to do is the hardest aspect of winning. You can have the opposing view, that you’ve just been handed a bad lot in life, but it’ll do you no good. This way of thinking is a common one with those who succeed and continue to succeed. We are responsible for everything in our lives.Įven if something bad ‘happens to us’, we’re responsible for how we react to it. This dark moment will one day lead to light - it always does. Getting down, depressed, sad, wallowing in self-pitty only makes things worse.
We learn lessons from them and because of them. And when things are going badly, it feels like this is how it is and always will be. We’re both cursed and blessed with perspective. What I’ve learned about thriving vs merely surviving in my 35 - almost 36 - years on this planet. What you’ll find from reading even recent ‘history’ is that failure leads to success for those who continue to try, but also those who learn from their mistakes. Thriving and winning still takes work, discipline, intelligence, and ingenuity. We can all survive, and we can technically all thrive, but will we? Thanks to innovation and capitalism (and by capitalism I mean the natural human interaction that produces net-positive innovations), the quality of life of even the poorest is higher than kings of the past. Today the competition is still there, though it may not be for survival. We’ve always been in competition against something, for our own survival, for our own degree of success. Sometimes it’s against the elements, against others tribes, enemies, neighbors, cultures. If you read history, our collective history as a species, you’ll see that - just like every other species on the planet - we’ve been in constant competition.
