Speed
Increase the rate of experimentation. Go deeper. Go faster.
Don’t waste any more time than you have to playing halfsies. You’re either in or you’re out.
Commit to an experiment. Outline the parameters, go test against a hypothesis, do it for whatever reason, do it out of love, do it out of spite – do it even if the reason is to just simply find out.
I write this to myself because I know that without the reminder, I will inevitably end up floating around without the necessary amount of conviction to do anything meaningful with myself.
I really do think we are capable of so much, and I think in order to prove that, I have to move fast. I have to move faster.
Condense the timelines. What you think will take you 1 year, entertain the idea that it could just take a day. What you think will take a day, entertain the idea that it could just take 5 minutes.
How fast can you go? Where is the ceiling? What is the true limit?
Limit test. Investigate what you are actually capable of. Find out how fast you can move.
Take your essence and everything that you are made of – your routines, what you consume, who you surround yourself with, what you do for work, what you do for leisure, the thoughts you have when you are truly by yourself – place it all under a microscope, take a real close and honest look, and really ask yourself,
“Is this it?”
Somehow, I always find a way to surprise myself.
