There is no blueprint:

There is no blueprint.

‍

There is no easy way.

‍

Life is hard.

‍

It’s a struggle.

‍

It’s battling against yourself every day.

‍

All of us are given a blueprint by our parents.

‍

One we had no control over.

‍

Some of us got lucky and had good blueprints.

‍

Others did not.

‍

It does not mean they’re not as capable as you.

‍

It means they might not have had the right guidance.

‍

The right environment.

‍

The right genetics.

‍

So that is the blueprint we follow.

‍

The one we got from our parents.

‍

We follow it our entire life without questioning it.

‍

Never thinking about it.

‍

Never reflecting on it.

‍

Never understanding it.

‍

Was that blueprint the only blueprint?

‍

We don’t ask ourselves that question.

‍

Instead, we blindly follow what we’ve been told by what’s around us.

‍

Today is different.

‍

Today you can follow other people’s blueprints.

‍

There are stories out there of people who achieved great things.

‍

Listen to Founders.

‍

It’s an entire podcast dedicated to great people living great lives.

‍

‍

So much insight from history’s greatest founders.

‍

The blueprint from them was this:

‍

Dream.

‍

Visualize.

‍

Define your purpose.

‍

Chase it.

‍

Fail.

‍

Try.

‍

Take risks.

‍

Be an entrepreneur.

‍

Start your own thing.

‍

Go your own way.

‍

Walk to the beat of your own drum.

‍

Work harder than the next person.

‍

Listen.

‍

Always be learning.

‍

Find people you trust.

‍

Build good relationships.

‍

All of these are great components of a blueprint.

‍

All of these are pieces of advice.

‍

Anecdotes of insight from those who lived before you.

‍

Nonetheless, those blueprints are not yours.

‍

You have to build your own blueprint.

‍

Go your own way.

‍

Do your own thing.

‍

Step out of your own bubble.

‍

That is the blueprint.
