RE: Hack Your Life in 3 Easy Steps!

in #life7 years ago

You don't have to be great at everything, but you have to be great at figuring out what you are great at. Then put your 100% effort on that.

You have to choose what makes you happy and what you want to do for the rest of your life.

Decent first approximation. :-)

In order to figure out what you are great at, you need to experiment, to actually do that thing. And then reflexivity kicks in: as you try your hand at something you are

  1. spending time that you'll never recover
  2. not trying something else
  3. getting better at what you are experimenting with and beginning to like it because of that ...

So you decide "that's it!" That's the thing you want to put 100% effort into ... and at first you make huge progress ... until at some point you get stuck. Then what do you do ? Is there maybe something else that you'd have been even better at, had you started with that ?

I see a different away around this, do you ?

Yes, to figure out what you are great at, you have to taste different things. It takes time. As you mentioned "Know thyself", that's the key.

If you get stuck at some point, you will find a way to move forward. Do what makes you happy.

I think the most painful thing is that when you are old, you say, I wish I would...
So, do it now.
