Happiness is NOT Your Mission

You want a happy life? Stop focusing on it. Focus on mastery. Focus on impact. Focus on dominance.

You want a BETTER life? There is no magic key but there are steps you can take…

Step One: Find Your "Holy Shit" Mission

Stop chasing some ephemeral "happiness" and find a mission worthy of your capabilities. One that scares you. One that requires you to become more than you are. Find a problem you must solve, a legacy you must create. Here’s my legacy in progress:

Why this mission for me?

Large sections of life today have been designed to systematically steal wealth from hard workers and even from penny savers — from everyone who makes money and saves it. Inflation is a man-made concept where we are artificially increasing the money supply through coordinated central bank printing, which is constantly draining the value of the dollars already in our savings accounts and in our paychecks. The sins of Wall Street are hollowing out Main Street. We did a DEEP dive into the baddies behind this story here:

Our savings, and our incomes, are denominated in dollars. We are being stolen from constantly. Even if you aren’t an American, I can guarantee you that your central bank is printing local currency and “stimulating the economy” with your economic energy.

To counteract this I want to help 1 million new people become millionaires. This will have a chain reaction effect. These people will have capital and clarity to build businesses, to network with each other yielding even more enterprise value, and most important: they will be able to educate and excite the people around them about the need to build wealth systems to power a life free from wage slavery or other forms of economic coercion.

Matrix fans will appreciate this: I see myself as a sovereign Morpheus freeing as many Neos as I can.

Step Two: Prove Your Discipline

The ability to do what needs to be done, even when you don't feel like it. This isn't about brute force; it's about structured habits. It's about systems designed to overcome inherent laziness, fear of the unknown and the other things we let get in the way.

Step Three: Maintain Resilience

The ability to bounce back. Failure is inevitable. Embrace it. Learn from it. And use it as fuel. Your biggest defeats are your greatest teachers.

This is a big part of the reason you MUST fail in order to succeed. You need the reps, the learnings and the battle scars to be prepared for the big missions you are destined for.

Step Four: Give Not Take*

Happiness comes from giving, not taking.

*if you are crushing it, but still aren't happy… this may be your issue. This realization is why I left Wall Street

Find ways to leverage your skills and resources to help others, to leave the world better than you found it. Getting your own oxygen mask on first is smart. Necessary even. Now you can take care of your family. Next, you can build-up your community. Then its your nation.

Step Five: Strategic Mind

Understand that the world doesn't care about your feelings. Develop an iron will and a strategic mind that allows you to make the hard decisions, to outmaneuver your competition, and to seize every advantage.

Take full measures every time and have sequels (next steps on this path) and branches (different paths) developed in advance.

You have to show up every day. Take it on the chin. Come back tomorrow. Get bigger. Get faster. Get smarter. Focus. Focus. Focus.

Now go, execute!
