The thing I'm certain about


One day, they asked Jeff Bezos about the future.

Jeff, what are the upcoming trends? How would Amazon react to them?

​

The answer worths more than an MBA in Harvard…

… specially because in Harvard, they don’t teach this…

​
He replied that he doesn’t care about what changes, but about what stays the same.

​

Take a minute to read this sentence again.

​

I don’t care about what changes, but about what stays the same.

​

Empires are built on certainties.

Not in “I think”, “I guess”, “My understanding is”.

​

For years, I’ve had a certainty, and I operate based on it.

​

The more you focus on what you can control, the better you live.

​

With war or without, with psychopaths in power or with fools.

​
Let me repeat it for you, in case you thought it wasn’t much:

​
The more you focus on what you can control, the better you live.

​

I hold onto that unchanging truth and ignore the rest of the noise in the universe.

​
Every day, I keep improving, at selling, at my businesses, at my investments, at my muscles, at my mindset.

And since you’re not, you’re not making the progress I do.

​

Want proof?
• I’ll do that, but first…
• Not until this is done…
• As soon as that’s ready…

​

You spend your day avoiding certainties to ride the waves of uncertainty.

​

Another certainty:
The sooner you value yourself above everything else in life…

The sooner your boss will appreciate you, will respect you, will promote you and the more money you’ll make.

The sooner a client will give you his money, the more loyal he’ll be, the more satisfied he’ll be, and the more money he’ll give you over time.

Every day you can see examples. Our society is clearly weaker and weaker by the day. You browse around a little, and you see a post with hundreds of likes. I stop, curious. And what do I see? The dopamine injection of feel-goodism that dulls us all. See below: The true luxuries of life are: Slow mornings with coffee, staring at nothing. A good night's sleep. A fit body. Peace of mind. Living in the present moment. The freedom to choose what you want to do. Being surrounded by people you love....

You cannot help it. You pay yourself last. You are the last monkey in the queue. Don’t believe it? Well… let’s check. You have your day planned out. You're going to be strict and responsible. You’re going to do what you're supposed to do and not get sidetracked. You’re going to wake up early. You’re going to have a proper breakfast, hit the gym, work without allowing interruptions. You’re going to leave at a certain time, and come home without looking at your phone until the next day, but......

Many of us see our parents putting on weight. When you have 20 or 30 kg of fat on your body and you don’t maintain good muscle mass, it’s difficult to climb stairs, get on the ground and stand up without help, or even walk. Can you imagine 20 kg less fat and 5 kg more muscle? Fitter parents and grandparents. Fewer medications. Fewer side effects. More trips. More vitality. It’s hard to change habits that have been ingrained for many years. But there are some highly effective levers that can...
