sacrifices

mayan wisdom

a lot of people I know are hoping to achieve greatness without having to sacrifice anything in return. this is naiveté at best.

growth comes through pain and we business predators have a different type of fun. it’s definitely not the cocaine-induced serotonin fun most thrill-seekers are constantly chasing. But a state of flow that’s achieved after deep focus and micro-victories, sometimes coming after long periods of drought.

If you’ve plateaued recently, quick tip: think of sacrificing something. Making an ofrenda to the gods of success. It may be giving up Netflix, porn or tiktok. It may be to stop some behaviors of yours: getting angry or reactive. It needs to be painful. It needs to involve change. Then watch yourself get out of this plateau.
