How To Find Pleasure In Suffering (The Most Important Lesson My $300k/Month Mentor Taught Me)
This post will cover the most important lesson my mentor who makes $300k/month ever taught me. By the end of it, you’ll have a complete blueprint to mastering your mindset and you’ll literally be able to find pleasure and genuine joy in ALL the hard shit you do for the rest of your life. I’m not going to waste your time. Below is a word-for-word conversation of what he told me. He said “Andrew, your character is the single most important thing in your life” I was a bit confused. So I asked “What is character?” He said “Are you fundamentally a good man? Are you acting in accordance with virtue? Are you doing the right things day-to-day? Are you the same person you say you are, behind closed doors?” He then went on to say “That’s character. In order to develop it, you must detach inputs from outputs. They must become completely separate” “What do you mean?” I asked. “You can’t directly control the output (the result). But you have full control over the inputs (the work) and how hard you work on something. Did you keep going when you wanted to quit? When you’re lying in bed at night, do you think ‘I made myself proud today’ or do you feel shameful because you didn’t put any real effort in?” “Every time you push yourself, you level up. That’s why success is simply a by-product of discipline. You must become the character. Always aiming to be better than you were yesterday” “The only things that matter are your character and the activities you’re doing (inputs). Push yourself past your limits. Regardless of the output or the reward. It’s about the person you’re becoming. YOU are the output of the work” (And below is the most important lesson he ever taught me. Don’t let it go over your head) “Because even if nothing else in your life changes, YOU do. YOU are the output. You become someone that is capable of reaching your goals, someone who’s respected, someone that you can look in the mirror and smile at. And that’s exactly why the goal of everything is to do everything you can. You need to completely change your definition of winning. Winning is not an accomplishment or a trophy, winning is giving your absolute best, even if you fall short and fail”
