Thought

I watched Casino Royale the other night, and I was was struck by the timeless appeal of James Bond.

Why is this fictional character so magnetic?

Competence.

It’s the number one thing that makes a man respected by other men and desired by women.

He’s completely sure of himself and knows exactly how to handle any crisis that comes his way. He’s always cool under pressure and applies the minimum effective force to quell a situation.

So, how can you apply his example in your own life?

A man’s value is tied directly to his usefulness.

When a problem arises, have an “I’ll figure it out” mindset.

Don’t know how to fix something in your house that breaks? YouTube it.

Be strong and capable. Develop your mind. Be financially fit.

Be competent in all areas.

Be the guy your friend would call if he had only one phone call from a prison in a third-world country.

Tactic

It’s a law of nature: the size of a thing is proportional to our focus on it.

The more focused we are on a thing, the larger that thing becomes.

This is a double-edged sword.

I know for myself, sometimes I get so focused on one of my problems that I lose sight of what makes life beautiful.

Whenever I catch myself doing this, I know the quickest way out is to shift my focus completely from myself.

My favorite way to do this is by hanging out with a friend and simply listening to them with my full attention.

Every person wants to be heard. Your time and attention is your greatest gift.
