LESSON: Mike Cernovich's - Principles By Which to Live - Part 4
Mike writes:
"You have to treat failures like preparation for success. Even success is preparation for success. No one who deserves respect says, “I’ve made it,” and stops. The same is true of failures. Successful people view failure as preparation for great endeavors."
So, you can happily fail yourself to a better you.
You can also work through logical ideas and use logical conclusions to build a successful life.
Let's look at more of Mike's insights into how to produce a productive lifestyle.
1. Stop rejecting yourself.
In my coaching talks, people give me 10 reasons why they can’t do something, and all of these reasons are completely made up. Give the world the opportunity to reject you. My own writing, which I hesitated publishing, often ended up being my most popular. My “genius” writing flopped. When you’re writing or selling or performing for other people, they get to have an opinion about what’s good.
2. Tip well and often.
Stinginess is another word for greediness. Greedy people make poor life decisions. Get into the habit of treating people well, and you’ll find the world treats you well.
3. Make as much money as you possibly can without compromising your ethics.
Money matters. I’ve been broke and flush with cash. A certain amount of money frees you from the anxiety that one bad review will cost you your job. Likewise, live frugally, and never grow into your pay raise, or financial windfall. Money can’t buy happiness, but a lack of money can bring you unhappiness.
4. Get started today.
Today is the youngest you’ll ever be ... and maybe the oldest as well ... who knows? Waiting to January is confessing that your success isn’t important enough to seek out today. Consider the message this sends to yourself.
5. Tell people in your life why they matter.
When a memory surfaces about a person or event, write that down. Send a note. That this seems “corny” or “weird” says more about our debased, self-indulgent society than it does about the feeling in and of itself. We are told to fear and avoid intimacy, as human connection leads to deeper meaning.
Remember that:
Being nice to people doesn’t cost you anything, and the gains you make are as close to free money as you’ll ever receive.
Think about it.
