Invest in Something

We all have that one friend who has the next greatest business idea every week, the guy who will convince you that 'this is the one' but never follow through on their talk.

They jump from business to business, relationship to relationship trying to find the perfect match, but you know what...

The perfect business, job, or life partner doesn't exist.

People waste their time trying to find something perfect instead of finding something good enough that they can improve on.

We're all addicted to optionality but keeping our options open sucks, it leads to shallow connections, lack of mental clarity and an inability to build anything meaningful.

Society will tell you that more is always better, more money, more stuff, more options but all these things will only make you shallow happy.

Wanna know what will make you deeply happy?

Investing in something.

The English word to “decide” comes from Latin “to cut off”. When you cut off other options you're laser-focused.

You no longer jump from one thing to the next as soon as there is a problem, instead you take each challenge in your stride.

You no longer spend your time treading water trying to do a bunch of things at once, instead you're reaping the rewards of compound interest

Don't half-ass a bunch of things when you can whole-ass one thing.

Invest in something that pays compound interest:

• The business that you work on for 3 years is better than having dozens of unfinished side projects.
• The relationship that you improve everyday is better than jumping from relationship to relationship
• The skill that you commit to mastering is better than being okay at a bunch of things

Invest in something.
