Stop Being Average And Get The Results You Want By Doing These 15 Hard Things. Part 8-15

They most likely don’t watch any news, but even when they do, they observe it with a deep self-awareness that doesn’t have their identities touched.
They protect their attention and know the key to winning at anything is about removing distractions and filtering to keep the main thing, the main thing. They know the biggest threat to a goal being achieved is being steered off course to a shiny new object or project, when in fact, all it takes is doing the same thing every day and measuring the most important thing and you basically are guaranteed to succeed after a few years.

9. Results Oriented Prime Their Subconscious Minds To Visualize Their Results 

Results oriented know that their subconscious minds steer their conscious actions and work to relentlessly ensure they aren’t letting their limited belief systems or past conditioning hold them back.
The results oriented know how easy it is to sabotage one’s self. It’s the main cause of human strife, so they focus hard on this task.
Constantly checking their belief systems and catching themselves as they take action.

Like just today, as I put together a training video, I caught myself expecting a low level version video because it’s the first video I’m putting together. I was literally limiting my capacity for no reason. When even while I’ve never done a video before, it’s easy to learn video editing with all the tools out there and my first version can and should be world class.
Obviously I know there will be iteration and improvement, but this is a process that will happen either way.
However, there’s no reason that even on this first try I can’t expect to produce a best in class training video

This person also complained that there werne’t enough single men in NYC, a city with the most # of single men. Something that would come generally from someone with a victim mindset that lacks. Not surprised that person was also “single” even though they very much wanted not to be. Sad that they could instantly not be single if only they lived to uphold excellence for it’s own sake.
When you exist to be excellent, there’s nothing that doesn’t get done. Trying doesn’t even need to be tried. Things just happen.
The reason this is so is because when growth is your “why”, you’re naturally what get’s perceived to be “relentless” by regular folks. Even though for you it’s just a day of living, it’s a way of doing things that attracts exactly what you want.
Back to my friends friend: if they strived every day to be their best for it’s own sake,or became less “cool” and more of a self improvement “nert” (like me or you who reads these articles) they’d figure out how their perceiption and limiting belief systems are literally creating the conscious reality they don’t want.

11. Results Oriented Are Well Aware of Just How Much “Progress” And Evolution Has Happened In The Last 10 Years 

More in the last 10 than the last two hundred. We’re able to engineer a green rabbit and can go to sleep in a self driving car as it arrives at our destination 8 hours later when we wake up.
Relationships between couples being re-invented as it’s easier than ever before to not be lonely yet being enlightened enough to not feel loneliness in the first place recognizing it’s just a story we tell ourselves.
The results oriented stay at the cutting edge of their future, and know the future is always now

They know to pick a field they love and to try to become the best in that field because why not? Death is coming.
They know to enjoy and embrace each moment they can no matter what they’re doing and who they’re with. Because why not? Death is coming.
They know this and ask themselves the hard questions like “when I become 80, will I wish I did this?” Then the decision becomes easy.
Therefore, the results oriented maximize their potential in the process of their journey and are happy with who they are.

Understanding and applying that knowledge is very simple and some quick application will yield the experience that brings the confidence that can lead to mastery of a field. This makes the process of shipping off to a place with thousands of other 18 year olds for 4 years, to be given a piece of paper that says you’re competent in something with zero or maybe a little experience so you can read 8 books and write maybe 8 papers and some passing grades seem pretty ridiculous, no? To boot, you’re paying tens and hundreds of thousands and creating debt for yourself in the process.
Meanwhile, one of the many ways I learned from the ultimate teacher that matters (the market) is when I started writing.
I learned you need to write every day to become a master, not when the paper is due. I learned you need to read a lot every day, not when the test is coming up. A book a week, not a book every six months (a semester)

This is not to say the results oriented “use people” — quite the contrary. The results oriented are so relentlessly focused on value they won’t even say hello to anyone without providing some kind of value to them. This builds up a lot of good will, effectiveness and trust.
