Identity is essential to get you to pursue greatness. Once you have that identity in some field, you will automatically pursue greatness day in, and day out. Identity is useful for this. As Identity heavily controls you automatic, day to day actions. A person with a "painter" identity, paints everyday. This is essential for the journey. Dissolving the identity is essential for actually producing greatness. It ends up becoming a distraction from the action itself. When you paint, you need to focus on painting, not what your identity is.

books like greatness cannot be planned, obliquity, inner game of tennis, finite & infinite games, bhagvat gita all circle around this concept i am still searching for a way for this concept to permeate through to the subconscious but here's a clear picture of the territory that ive spent many months thinking about: 1. essentially there are two types of problems - controlled problems - searching problems controlled problems have a clear path to the solution ( bench 100kg, do 30 sales calls, spend time with partner etc etc) searching problems have an unknown path. ( find purpose, find a startup idea, find enlightenment so on and so forth ) this classification is mostly easy to do 2. next there's the internal energy that you bring ( in general, not towards any specific pursuit because fog of war -- you dont know what you're searching for ) effort : attachment ratio the ideal enjoyable state is to be relaxed in your relationship to the outcome while maintaining commitment to the craft. ( this is the part i find the hardest ) 3. sincere action without clenching is an absolute essential on the action front there's two schools of thought that approach it in completely different angles but reach a noce middleground Zen & Deliberate Practice Zen argues against the clench. Do not let the activity become contaminated by identity. thats almost always the primary source of tension. Practice folks mostly say one thing - let practice become the activity itself. dont see it as an intermediary process. it is THE thing itself you are not painting to become a painter, you are simply painting its kinda abstract but quite easy to figure out 4. are you chasing excellence? i love studying the way the greats work and the pattern here is what i even started writing the tweet for because it missed this key paradox the greats in everything almost always cared very deeply about being excellent. like they really really cared which might seem like "tension" from an intellectual sense but i think that while they do deeply care and might face some psychological battles bcoz of it while they’re actually doing the thing, this chase for excellence temporarily disappears from their consciousness and they're in complete flow & have figured out a way to move their ambition outside the moment of execution... like isnt that insane ?!? how do they do that??? --- yeah so tldr is basically just be deliberate with your direction & build systems and habits that make progress likely then remove yourself and the pursuit and just train your attention to focus on whats at hand reduce mental interference as much as possible then boom one of the greats ( well i hope thats not the "goal" xD )

@tyromper It's not about the look. It's all about the conditioning. The body keeps to score. If walk in, rich, smiling, confident, ripped... what else do you need?

I have a theory that any GUY can be in the top 5% of attractiveness if he just gets shredded. Doesn't really matter his facial features (altho they improve as you get in shape too). Doesn't even matter if he's 5'7 or 6'5 that much. If he's SHREDDED women put him in the top 5% of good looking guys no matter what else! *assuming he has teeth & doesn't smell. WHY ARE YOU NOT GOING TO THE GYM FELLAS??!!

@suited_monk Thanks bud! You too!

@jeffdo Jeff, you go it!

Life is all about alignment, not grinding

I think overthinking almost killed my dad. Life short. Stay on the positive side folks.

@ysuckme Only excuse is the argentina Goal Keeper blocking 20 shots

Spain has no excuses to win with Argentina down to 10 men going into extra-time

This goal keeper is insane. 10 saves with a broken finger

@BillyM2k We going to penalties bois?

amazing the score is 0-0

I have a feeling Trump has something to do with how many cards Argentina is getting

🚨CRAZY: Argentina’s defender jumped and put his studs through Lamine Yamal’s calf No card, no VAR

@YanitedBruno Probably the worst foul of the whole tournament

Tagliafico had his entire body weight on Yamal's leg while he was running, clearly he wasn't even going for the ball What more does it take for a red card to be shown? 👀

@YanitedBruno waaaaaa they got away with that?

@signulll Why were the muppets there?!?!?!

half time show at the fifa world cup? total american cultural victory.

Even Messi can't do anything 99% of the time. It's what he can do, when he can, that matters. That's what agency is. Self delusion that you can make a difference, even if almost everything is outside your control.

@Lunens__ The ref is calling in Argentina's favor so far

first blatant argentina yellow card and the ref does nothing

Spain is playing sooo much better than Argentina right now

That was a crazy chance from Yamal. He's in good form today

@NealGardner_ When you are in charge, you didn't need to rig anything. "You just let happen" If fifa didn't want to give Messi a chance, he wouldn't have one.

The funniest part about the “Messi is favoured” conspiracy is the idea that FIFA watched him endure four World Cup heartbreaks over 16 years, then one fine afternoon in 2022 suddenly decided, “Right, let’s start rigging it for him now.” 😂

@NealGardner_ They just let it happen, that's all
