💪 Pushing Through the Hard Stuff

LIP #213
Nov 14, 2024

Every big challenge has two ingredients: brain power and psychology. Psychology is how your mind handles pressure, and it can make or break you.

The 5 phases of any tough challenge:

  1. Honeymoon phase - everything feels exciting
  2. Work realization phase - you see how much effort is needed
  3. Hell phase - things feel impossible
  4. Push-through phase - you dig deep and keep going
  5. Reflection phase - you look back feeling proud

Most people quit in the hell phase. Do not be most people.

Beginners often succeed because of ignorance on fire, they are excited and fearless. This beginner mindset is not about age. It is a choice you can make every single day.
