it's called luck maxxing. luck is just randomness that goes your way. two variables you can control. increase your exposure to randomness by putting yourself out there. make it go your way by being irrationally resilient. do both and i guarantee your ‘luck’ will increase.
Yo u need to leave your house more and allow yourself to run in to chance.

The next MrBeast is probably already uploading videos. Barely getting any views. Thinking about quitting. Not even trying to be the next MrBeast. And in 10 years, we’ll look back and say “wow, look how crap their videos were in 2023. What a crazy story”. As they hit 1B subs.

if you ain't scared to do it, don't do it. nothing great happens without fear. it's a sign you care. it's a sign it matters. it's a sign you're doing the right thing. show me someone who's never scared, and i'll show you someone who's never done anything worthwhile.
Hit me with the harshest reality truth.

most people are completely wrong about charisma. the 'secret' isn't confidence. or owning the space. or mirroring. it's authenticity. being unapologetically yourself. that's what people are drawn to. not superficial hacks that win friends and influence people.

stop mindlessly consuming information and calling it 'learning'. it's not learning. it's glorified entertainment. real learning is discovering a new idea. questioning it. testing it. refining it. practising it. making it your own and implementing it. anything else is pointless.

you should fear inaction a lot more than failure. failure is inevitable. proof of effort. mandatory for success. inaction is worthless. wasted potential. the real enemy. people think mistakes lead to mediocrity. but in reality, doing nothing gets you there much faster.

you don't 'find' your passion, you earn it. it's the result of hard work, not your inner nature. you follow your curiosity. commit to something. embrace the discomfort. and get good. that's when 'passion' will start to emerge.

the worst thing you can procrastinate on isn't your to-do list, it's your life. waiting for the right time. waiting for permission. waiting for somebody else. you'll be waiting forever. take responsibility. find something that won’t let you wait. and do it. you can't cram life.

if you’re in the 'pursuit of greatness', you have to be comfortable with the reality of looking stupid. it’s a mandatory part of the process. proof you’re outside your comfort zone. the place where you get rewarded for embracing the risk of embarrassment that most can't handle.

procrastination isn't a time management problem, it's an emotional management problem. you're just scared to do the thing. scared of failing. scared of discomfort. scared of reality. once you realise this, the 'solution' completely changes; less pomodoro, more self-awareness.

you need to start cringe maxxing. finding the things you're embarrassed about. the things other people call weird. the things you've been denying for years. and embracing them. because while it's easier to 'fit in', your cringe is your unfair advantage.
