-Lao Tzu
Not all ideas are created equal. These six will carry disproportional weight in improving your life.
Self-Efficacy - A belief in yourself. We’re all making it up as we go, so trusting yourself is pretty important for going after what you want.
Radical Introspection - The ability to evaluate your internal thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even when the outcomes aren’t what you want to hear. You must first master yourself before you can master the world.
First Principles - Concepts distilled into their most basic, fundamental form. Identifying first principles allows you to avoid being boxed into the “old” way of doing things.
Calorie Balance - A first principle of nutrition. Understanding and mastering this principle will free you from yo-yo diets and give you better control of your health.
Second-Order Thinking - The ability to think about the consequences of the consequences of your actions. Learning this skill allows you to play chess while everyone else is playing checkers.
Hakuna Matata - It means no worries. Life is stressful, but learning how to protect your peace means that your stress can’t control you. That’s powerful.
