Stop Trying To Figure Your Life Out

Everything has to happen now.

The money you want.

The purpose that will change your life.

The stability in all areas—stable friendships, stable mental health, stable fitness progress.

And it needs to happen now, because we all feel like there’s an existential zombie breathing over our necks, reminding us that, if we never reach where we want to be, we can’t start truly enjoying life.

I remember being in my teenage years, scrambling through different college majors, wondering which one provided the best ratio of enjoyment to potential salary.

But the funny thing was, the more I tried to figure my life out, the less opportunities I gave life to figure it out for me.

It wasn’t until I was doing something completely unrelated to searching for college majors, that I stumbled upon what would soon be what I pursued.

I was watching YouTube videos on Minecraft, and saw the creator, Notch, writing code for some livestream challenge.

Within weeks, I was writing my own code, and applying for a computer science major at the college I would end up going to.

There will always be a reason to ponder thoughts, question whether you are on the right path, and try to figure out the reasons why you never really feel like you are where you should be.

But maybe the answer lies in not trying to figure it out as much.

In not trying to find your purpose, but living life in a way that purpose comes naturally through whatever you do.

In completely shaking up your routine to the point where your brain seeks answers from unusual sources and revelations.

Life is best spent lived. Not endlessly ruminated over.

So maybe the answer for the thing you want to acquire right now, lies in the exact opposite of where you think it should be.

Practice compassion for others.

Volunteer at an event you’ve never heard of.

Talk to some strangers about their lives.

Stop trying to figure your life out, and live life to figure your life out.

How To Find Your Tribe

Figuring things out becomes exponentially easier when you do this one thing:

Surround yourself with the right people, who naturally make you want to live your life in a way that benefits you the most.

Imagine you were part of a community like that.

A community that held you accountable for getting better, that you could talk to about anything you’re pondering, so you don’t have to go in circles trying to figure it out yourself.

Kind of like a school, but for self improvement.

I wanted to make this into a reality.

And that is why I created my Self Mastery School.

The Self Mastery School is a place for those who want to actualize their greatest potential, strengthen their self awareness, build better habits, and develop a fulfilling life.

When you join the school, you’ll get access to:

• Full length courses/eBooks

• Weekly coaching calls and lectures (related to self-awareness, making money online, social skills, etc.)

• An exclusive community of ambitious, open-minded people

• In person meetups (coming soon)

Being able to actually apply the advice you receive, and get consistent feedback from like-minded people are the two most important factors in seeing permanent change.

And I’m guessing you feel like you can’t talk to anyone in real life about self-improvement, right?

The friendships in there feel genuine.

And I have a feeling you’re going to find your tribe in there, too.

Here's some wins from our community:

I’ll see you in there.
