💪 High Agency: Taking Charge of Your Own Life
High Agency: Taking Charge of Your Own Life
One of the hardest skills in life is answering the question: What do you want to do? Not just once, but over and over again.
True leadership means:
- Sticking with decisions when things get hard
- Making hundreds of small adjustments
- Taking ownership instead of waiting for a perfect plan
The Performance Formula
Performance = Potential - Impediments
Impediments are the things slowing you down. Most people blame physical things like lack of sleep. But the biggest impediments are mental - the stories you tell yourself about why you cannot succeed.
Fighter vs. Victim
Every morning you get a choice. You can be a fighter who pushes forward, or a victim who finds reasons to stay stuck.
The more you practice pushing forward, the stronger that mental muscle becomes.
