LESSON: Mike Cernovich's - Principles By Which to Live - Part 1
Mike writes:
"Where I grew up it would not have been possible to imagine (that) such (modern) worlds exist."
He continues:
"I’ve been from the poor house to the White House. Here is what I’ve learned along the way to help you dream and live big."
1.Surrender feelings of self-importance.
With apologies to Carlos Castaneda for the blatant ripoff, this is the most important lesson you will learn. It’s not about you. Get over yourself. Incidentally, it amazes me that people complain about their friends without thinking, “Hey, I’m the one who surrounded myself with these people.”
2. View yourself as the most important person in the world.
If you are not healthy, wealthy, and wise, how can you leave an impact on the world? If your mindset isn’t in order, how can you be a good parent, pastor, teacher, public servant, or even informed citizen?
3. Become comfortable with paradoxes.
20 year old men are chomping at the bit to correct the obvious contradiction between 1 and 2. Get used to holding simultaneously contradictory thoughts. For example, free will is a myth, and if you live as if you have free will, your life will improve. If you live as if free will is a myth, you’ll be miserable.
Think about it ...
4. Look for the sentiment expressed by a person rather than the literal truth.
When someone says, “Live as if today is your last day,” they don’t mean you should go out and exact revenge on your enemies without fear of consequences, or spend all of your money, or do something reckless. What they mean is to make every day count, because it might be your last day.
The fact is:
If you don’t like who you are, look inside for your habits, and outside at your family and friends. You may need to cut out some negative forces in your life.
Reality is harsh and the truth is harsher.
