I was thinking the other day about archery and the target Infront of you. If that target is not clear enough or you haven’t set it yet. Then let’s say you set it right. There is only one spot and way to hit that target – if it’s too low or too high… you know. It has to be just right
That’s theagic of setting targets for your life – you suddenly get the clarity what to do. Isn’t it beautiful. Hahaha
Example:
You start a business. And you have limitless side hustle ideas and vids with the most recent top 10 ways to make money super easyly etc. etc. etc.
Chances are nothing will work, at least in the sense of nothing will happen to bring you real money. It’ll seem like everything is rigged and just marketing trick.
The truth is probably the money ways are not your ways because you are not optimizing for them. By avoiding to set a target and jumping from one thing to another you gain an immense amount of fog. Which prevents you from actual money generating actions.
The sweet bucks you would love to bath in just like Scrooge McDuck are just the physical representation of the monetary system. And that system just like any other system is build by rules. Hardcoded rules are simple and straightforward which makes it inevitable that some cases are not described which creates a great deal of vulnerabilities to be exploited freely.
“But that’s unethical” you would say. Great. Nobody is disagreeing on that. And whomever is ignoring that fact is just fooling around. The fact is that the system is as unethical as anything else. And the feeling of being right is a way to manipulate you into being another player in their game. Think about it – if they can convince you what’s right or wrong they probably are able to convince you whom to listen to. So in practice they can convince you anything they want – for example how to play their game so they can make money off your sense of right 👍
There are two sides of that system – someone that does make money and someone that doesn’t make money.
And if you’re complaining a lot about “being stuck” and “trying for too long” “nothing’s works out” “they are all scammers”… Those are symptoms showing you’re on the wrong side. You are just a normal player in someone else’s game
Targets on the other side force you to get clear on one thing only – how to get the end result right. That creates a positive loop that generates the required force to pull you out of the bullshit believes you got. Precisely the belief that you need the special way that will bring you millions without effort.
Actually the exploit of the system happens in two simple steps: 1. Find a simple thing that’s always true. 2. Find a way to prove how true it is faster and more reliably.
Systems tend to get weirdly aroused from consistent outputs.
That would be a good follow up idea for my next note
