You have to be naturally interested in [[Self-transcendence]] - You won't get average results with average goals. You will get rare results with rare goals. - Ties into personal responsibility and depends on what you want to do based on your ambition - Curiosity, reality exploration, and eventual obsession with a craft is your key to greatness. - Have a mindset and background that is irreplacable - Self-education is a cornerstone habit that you must do every single day, no matter the topic of study. - Whether it be related to your niche or general exploration, this is how you gain more data to work with - Humans are meant to expand, transcend, and create. Constant self-improvement and evolution is not optional. If you as an individual get stuck, so will your endeavors. - We are required to grow - There is a way to build whatever life you want with technology and the internet. If there isn't a way, create it. - We have autonomy
