(after) reflection, adjustments

TOO MUCH theory = paralysis by analysis

NO theory = reinventing the wheel, excessive amounts of trial and error

A think a value is just something that is very important to you? 

For example when I'm misaligned to my value of equality , it makes me feel really bad, like this is not who I want to be nor the impact I want to have on the world 

 

So I guess a value is just a manifestation of what you feel is most important 

Value = important

Life mastery seems to be the highest pursuit

[Jacob Morres]

Chatgpt4:

Confidence can stem from various sources, and people may draw from one or more of these to feel socially confident:

 

1. **Self-Efficacy**: Belief in one's ability to accomplish tasks successfully, often built through past experiences.

 

2. **Social Skills**: Mastery of basic social interactions and cues, which can make socializing less stressful.

 

3. **Physical Appearance**: For some, feeling good about how they look can boost confidence.

 

4. **Preparation**: Knowing the subject matter or social context well can instill confidence in interactions.

 

5. **Social Support**: A strong network of supportive friends and family can bolster one's confidence.

 

6. **Achievements**: Success in various domains (academic, professional, athletic) can boost self-esteem and social confidence.

 

7. **Mindset**: Adopting a growth mindset, where challenges are opportunities for growth, can boost confidence.

 

8. **Positive Affirmations**: Internal or external affirmations that reinforce one's worth can contribute to social confidence.

 

9. **Emotional Regulation**: Being able to manage emotions like anxiety or fear can help in feeling more socially confident.

 

10. **Role Models**: Observing and emulating socially confident people can offer a template for how to behave.

 

11. **Exposure Therapy**: Gradual exposure to social situations can desensitize people to social anxieties, increasing confidence over time.

 

12. **External Validation**: Although not a long-term solution, some people initially build social confidence through validation from others, before internalizing it.

 

Understanding where your social confidence comes from can help you nurture and strengthen it further.

Progressives don't even feel woke dude they're just gleaning opinions from society without independent analysis. Dude they're more sheep than they are woke 

Am I the same? 

Honestly we probably are all sheep lol 

Sort of. We can learn thru experience what's good and bad

one aspect of success...

(bigger insight)

sometimes the hard things are just hard in our mind. like our mind creates more challenging things just psychologically, but its just intimdation. in reality theyre just normal things that anyone can pickup, just apply a good mindset

 

thinking about success, i love leo's analogy of, 'facets of enlightenment' and depicts it using a diamond

same way with success....

facets(or aspects) of success... *depicted as a diamond*

...

i love the idea of efficiency man bc of the amount of output you can get due to efficiency. you can get more and more output when you get more and more efficiency. like this tetris and productivity are equivalent

updating my favorite teachers:

Meta learning: Scott h young,  Justin Sung, (Peter ralston?)

Productivity; tiago forte, ali abdaal

Meta personal development: Eben pagan 

Emotions: eckhart tolle, david r hawkins + vipassana for emotions. -> add some form of psychotherapy/science based teachings to round

For mental health: dr. K, tara brach + gabor mate

Relationships: Boundaries - nedra glover tawwab
Business: alex hormozi

Hormozi is decent but not enough. General, more teachers and industry specific is needed 
for happiness:

systems

systems are quite powerful when you're trying to create progress

-> a note taking system makes everything so much easier. you don't have to redo things

-> a good guide system prevents you from remaking insights every-time as you can follow the guide. efficient progress

-> a morning routine is a great way to start your day

perhaps complexity is a better word hm

complex system of theories and ideas that make up a whole

 

tiago forte insight ->

think like a programmer, instead of doing things from scratch everytime, use what is already available

=

prepare right.

preparing too much leads to way too much wasted time

preparing too much little leads to just way too much trial and error

get it right

 

I love the concept of efficiency. Jesus

people are just sleeping on efficiency. it's way too underrated. in fact. i can probably turn it into an incredible competitive advantage

==

great interviews to binge

- diary of a ceo

- jay shetty

==

check out justin sungs course. see if it's valuable

look for scott youngs courses. pull that shit out of the grave
