The most powerful asset in the world:

‍

The most powerful asset in the world.

‍

The human mind.

‍

It can get you anywhere.

‍

‘He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.’ - Nietzsche.

‍

Frankl told the world about it in ‘Man’s Search for Meaning.’

‍

If you put your brain to something, you can accomplish anything.

‍

You can go anywhere.

‍

You can achieve anything.

‍

You can learn more than you would’ve ever thought possible.

‍

It can take you to places you’ve never imagined.

‍

But it takes time.

‍

It takes caring.

‍

It takes nurture.

‍

Your brain is a sponge.

‍

Literally.

‍

You absorb whatever you give it.

‍

Garbage in, garbage out.

‍

So what does a healthy brain need?

‍

Nutrients.

‍

Nutrition.

‍

Water.

‍

Healthy food.

‍

Sleep.

‍

Exercise.

‍

Challenge.

‍

Struggle.

‍

New neural connections are built in struggle.

‍

They’re built in trying something again and again.


Failing constantly.

‍

Through that, new neural connections are formed.

‍

Slowly you become better.

‍

Slowly you grow.

‍

Slowly you turn into something you never could have imagined.

‍

But it takes time.

‍

Patience.

‍

Consistent effort.

‍

Focused work.

‍

With necessary breaks.

‍

Challenging your mind.

‍

Learning new things.

‍

Learning about new disciplines.

‍

New areas.

‍

Learn about psychology, economics, biology and compounding.

‍

That education should never stop once you leave school.

‍

That’s when it needs to start.

‍

Here’s the secret to it all.

‍

No one is going to help you get there.

‍

No one.

‍

It’s you on your own.

‍

You against you.

‍

Once you're 18 and leave your parent's house, no one’s there to check on you.

‍

To make sure you’re learning.

‍

To make sure you’re advancing.

‍

Everyone’s too busy dealing with their own shit.

‍

So you have to decide.

‍

What do you want to do?

‍

Because we all have access to the most important asset in the world.

‍

Our brain.

‍

So be careful with it.

‍

Treat it right.

‍

Give it good stuff.

‍

If you do, it’ll reward you with a life that feels like a dream.

‍

Don’t miss your chance to use the most powerful asset in the world.
