The 10 Advancements
Repeated reciprocity results in mutual victory
The more you become aware
of the mechanisms below on a daily basis,
The more you automatically begin to master them.
1
PLACEBO WORKS
-What your mind believes, becomes reality for your body.
Your thoughts affect your internal biochemistry.
Your biochemistry guide your emotions.
Your emotions dictates the course of your actions.
The question is:
Are you trying to make your reality better, or your fantasy more convincing?
2
THE SMALLEST ACTION
TRUMPS
THE BIGGEST INTENTIONS
-Nothing comes to those who waits, but remorse and death.
Ask your Self:
What is the smallest step towards your procrastinated goal that you can take RIGHT NOW?
Figure it out, DO IT and repeat.
3
DISCIPLINE BEATS MOTIVATION’S ASS
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
-Actions have consequences, but so does doing nothing!
Stop wasting your life on expecting to someday wake up and magically “finally feeling like doing it”.
Feelings are your guide, not your master, so set a reminder and keep your Self on track!
4
BEING KIND
ALWAYS PAYS OFF
-It is a lot easier to help others, than oneself.
Always strive to be kind and helpful,
and the positive reinforcement you receive,
will help you manyfold in return.
5
LISTEN WHEN YOU CAN LEARN
SPEAK WHEN YOU CAN TEACH
-Deep truths come from deep understanding,
and true understanding comes as much from listening inwards, as outwards.
6
UNDERSTANDING
ALWAYS BEATS
REMEMBERING
-Memory is stale and lives in the past.
If you truly understand something,
you will never have to remember incomprehensible facts or formulas,
as the problems will appear as if to explain themselves to you.
7
BEATING SOMEONE’S MIND,
DOESN’T WIN THEIR HEART
-No one likes a smart-ass.
Any discussion should be about WHAT is right, and not WHO is right.
Letting go of your ego, and seeking to understand your “opponent”,
will guarantee the best possible outcome of any situation,
because the best thing any ego knows, is being listened to and taken serious.
8
PLANNING FOR FAILURE,
INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS
-Assume that you will fail repeatedly and have backup plans in place.
Then, harvest the peace-of-mind that comes from knowing that you now have one less fear,
and as a function thereof, fail less, because your mind is now more calm.
9
WHAT IS
THE MOST VALUABLE ACTIVITY
IN YOUR WHOLE LIFE?
-Prioritize it regularly, and if necessary: Put it in your calendar!
Do not allow your soul’s fullness to rely on leftovers!
10
ALWAYS. QUESTION. BULLSHIT
-If you don’t, then rest assured that it’ll only get worse!
Being a constant gardener is a fact of life if you want a neat garden.
The question is just:
How neat do you need [IT] to be, before you can enjoy [IT]?
11
NEVER CONFINE YOURSELF
TO OTHER PEOPLE’S EXPECTATIONS
-If everyone did, nothing new or cool would ever happen!
Let’s face it: People in groups get a free pass to behaving like idiots.
They do stupid shit or remain passive, and then pass the blame, when [IT] turns out bad.
Dare to be an idiot that actually does something with your life, other than just having an opinion.
