The Ultimate Life Coach

Summary

Freedom and money reveal a person’s true strengths and weaknesses, and the result is a spectrum with “Unlimited drugs and booze on the couch’ at one end, and “Create and manage a series of nonprofit foundations which employ thousands of people to research and invest in medical advances and clean energy” at the other.

The key is learning to watch over yourself like an Eagle and identify that exact moment of hesitation. And then instead of using it as a trigger for action, you use it as an action. It’s so counterintuitive at first, but then obvious in retrospect.

Overachievers feel they are already doing too much, raising multiple kids and managing multiple businesses and training for ironman triathlons in the mountains. The overachievers go through life nicely buzzed but often stressed. David Goggins is an example of driving yourself beyond your former limits.

With this change in attitude, I gained ten pounds of lean weight over the first four months, returning to the strength and flexibility that I had at age 25, and every single joint in my body feels like it has been upgraded to a study, well oiled spring. I also used the “catch yourself at the moment of hesitance” trick to get myself to run instead of walk more often, get over to the MMM-HQ coworking space for more work and socializing visits, and even to sit back down at the computer to write this post for you.

This is actually what I was thinking as I read this, but he never fully got to that realization. It definitely sounds like he's run himself into the trap of "needing to do something"
