- What I believe
You’ve probably noticed a pattern.
I’ve been writing about belief recently:
Now that you know the why and the how, I figured I’d share a few examples.
So without further ado, ladies and gents, here is the stuff I believe strongly:
There is a higher power.
Humans weren't meant to retire.
Who is more important than what.
It is not good to be chronically alone.
Freedom is more important than safety.
Hard work is the only path to a lasting legacy.
Nothing good comes from being comfortable.
There is enough money in the world to be as rich as you want to be.
Life can be optimized for what gives you energy and makes you happy.
Dressing well and looking your best will always lead to more opportunities.
I’m not going to get into each. I’ll save that for individual tweets next week.
But I wanted to share these with y’all as an example.
As you craft these, keep in mind that each one should be polarizing. In fact, you probably hear objections to each in your mind as you write them. That’s good. If you have a rebuttal and argument to that objection, great! You’ve already done some hard introspection work.
If you don’t, take a deep dive. Maybe you don’t actually believe it.
But that process of trying to figure it out will guide to a deeper place of truth.
And that is always worth it.
