This Is Your Biggest Enemy
The Thing That Holds You Back
Good morning Achievers,
This week, we’ll cover the thing that held me back for weeks.
It’s also the reason why many creators are stuck.
It’s not that they lack knowledge,
and it’s not a lack of discipline either.
It’s focusing more on others than on ourselves.
What does that mean?
Everyone shares their wins
No one shares their losses
Everyone shares the „secrets“
No one wants to act human
We see these things every day.
And they make us feel bad about ourselves.
While others seem like they’ve figured it all out, we fall back even more.
That’s the circle of misery.
We only see how good others are and how bad we are → We feel bad about our own growth → We stop acting
That’s where I was just a few weeks ago. Until I realized something:
You can’t compare yourself to them.
You’re on a completely different mission.
Everyone is unique and has different goals.
Your mission
Others’ success can either make us stop working or inspire us to work more.
But the truth is:
You should focus on yourself.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what this or that person does.
It only matters what YOU do.
YOU are the only one who creates your future life.
Not someone else.
Embrace your own mission.
Focus
Here’s my plan on how you can focus on your own growth:
Develop the right mindset
Do you want to win?
Then make your own growth a priority. Don’t watch others win. Win by yourself.
Ignore the noise
Most advice is useless.
The “secret strategies” are just distractions to grab your attention.
Ignore them. Focus on the path in front of you.
Seek knowledge intentionally
If you want more specific knowledge on something, actively search for it.
Don’t consume mindlessly. Instead, search and apply immediately.
Quote of the week
“99.99% of everything is noise.”
You’re the only person you can (and should) compare yourself to.
Make sure you’re making consistent progress.
Wishing you a wonderful start to the week!
See you.
