Key Points

1. Quit Chasing Comfort 

Comfort is the greatest killer of dreams and ambitions.

When you are constantly pursuing comfort you are not willing to take the risks and the chances that you need to achieve your goals.

You need to learn to embrace uncertainty, accept the struggle, and internalize the fact that life happens outside of your comfort zone.

The greatest experiences that you will ever have, the most awe-inspiring moments of enlightenment, and the most humbling lessons that you will learn all happen when you are uncomfortable.

So stop chasing comfort, forget about safety, and dive into life.

2. Eliminate Resistance in your Life

The more resistance that you face each and every day, the less energy you will have the and less you will be able to contribute to the world.

As such, you must master the art of eliminating resistance.

Eliminating resistance starts by automating your habits and rituals.

If you have a specific set of activities that you must complete each day, then automate the way that you do them.

Sit in the same place, have the same routine before you sit down, build rituals into your life that make productivity automatic.

Because when resistance is eliminated and productivity is automatic, success is inevitable.

3. Learn to Give Better Feedback 

One of the best ways that you can immediately improve the quality of your relationships and your team’s performance is to become a master at giving feedback.

Learn to take time to figure out what the problem really is, come up with several solutions, and tell them precisely what is going on and how they can improve.

When you are giving feedback in your romantic relationships, how you give feedback is just as important as what feedback you are giving.

Reassure your partner of your love and commitment to them and make it clear that the feedback you are offering is not being given to change them, but to accelerate and elevate your relationship.

If you can master this one simple skill, your entire world will shift and you will unlock unprecedented power with your team, your friends, and your lover.

4. Offer What You Can While You Can 

Life is short.

Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

And as such, we must learn to offer what we can while we can.

There are no promises beyond the present moment, yet we waste so much of our time, depriving the world of our gifts, talents, and abilities because we are scared.

Scared of the future, scared of failure, scared of what other people will think.

To be blunt… who cares?

Who cares if you fail? Who cares what other people think? Who cares if things don’t go your way?

We are all going to die anyways, so we might as well die giving our all and living life fully.

5. If You Want to Be Trusted then Don’t Compromise 

If you want to be a trustworthy man, a man who women can feel safe with and other men can rely on, then you must know who you are, know what you want, and be unwilling to compromise.

The second that you compromise your vision and your character for the approval of anyone else is the second that you lose all trustworthiness in your woman’s eyes, your friend’s eyes, and the world’s eyes.

If you cannot stand strong and hold to your own self-proclaimed values, then how in the world can other people rely on you to help and serve them and their values?

Understand the power of integrity and never compromise your values and beliefs, no matter what the potential reward or what the cost.
