Chase Your Destiny

A Meditation on Desire

Thought

You have two destinies:

The one that will come to you through passivity and the one that you’ll earn when you relentlessly pursue what you want out of life.

One is easier than the other, but there’s a twist, it’s the one that takes more effort. It’s paradoxical if you think about it: more effort, but easier.

I’ll explain:

If you sit back and let life drive for you, you will end up full of regret.

But choose the hard road, the one that will require every ounce of your will to engage in the fight, and your life will be full of splendor.

The only real mistake is not living life with maximum intensity.

Develop your Will.

Embrace discomfort.

Dance on the edge.

Tactic

A reading habit is one of the single greatest life hacks.

You can engage with the greatest minds that have ever existed, but many people struggle to turn it into a consistent practice.

One way to jumpstart this is to place a book on your pillow every morning. You can’t sleep until you read 5 pages.

Do this for 30 consecutive days and you’re on your way to building a powerful habit.

Tome

Gates of Fire

Epic historical fiction novel about the Battle of Thermopylae:

I recently rewatched 300 and it has me fixated on the Spartans. This is a great book to go deeper into the Spartan way of life and imagine what the 300 Spartans were like. The men of old were seriously badass. It will inspire you to be better.

Tool

Joint Warfare

The best supplement I’ve found to reduce joint pain:

A few years ago, my joints were completely wrecked. I trained hard to rehabilitate and bulletproof my body, and today I’m almost pain free.

Nothing tops fixing your body mechanics, but it’s good to have a secret weapon to get your body operational.

Travel

Rome may be the most beautiful city on Earth. I’ve studied Ancient Rome for the entirety of my adult life and it fully lived up to and even surpassed my expectations.

I hope this week’s 5 T’s have your T levels surging!
