Losers ask questions because they're afraid to act.
Winners ask questions because they're curious.
If you want to stagnate in life, be the former.
If you want to exceed in life, be the latter.

Trying to understand things is making you miserable.
You don't need to know the name of every flower to appreciate a garden. You don't need to explain why music moves you to enjoy it. You don't need to turn every beautiful moment into some profound insight.
Understanding less allows you to experience more.
Less thinking.
More living.

If you want to improve your concentration, implement point meditation into your life.
This is where you draw a dot at eye level and stare at it everyday for 3 minutes.
Focus on the dot intently.
The best gains will come from consistency.

You can spend your entire life trying to figure out how to live, without realising that the figuring out has become your life.

Isolation is the cure to everything.
You find out what your values are.
You find out what type of company you enjoy.
You find out what kind of life you want to live in the future.
Without isolation, you're doomed to follow the crowd.
If you want to improve your concentration, implement point meditation into your life.

People have this weird misconception that with time things will get better.
But you must realise that as time goes on, the more fixed and ingrained your patterns are
Hence:

When you act from a place of obligation and getting it right, you create internal pressure within yourself resulting in resistance to doing the work.
When you act from a place of wonder and experimentation, you let go of the internal pressure within yourself resulting in executing the work seamlessly.

You can stare at the same picture and see two completely different things.
Nothing about the picture changes.
Only where you direct your attention.
Now imagine how many opportunities, strengths, and possibilities you've overlooked simply because you've become accustomed to seeing yourself a certain way.

You can spend an hour visualising, spamming affirmations in the mirror and writing the life you want to live...
But if you spend the remaining 23 hours reinforcing the same old identity, you've accomplished very little.

If you believe intelligence is something you're born with, every difficult problem becomes evidence of your limitations.
If you believe intelligence can be developed, every difficult problem becomes an opportunity to improve.
If you want to win at life, choose the latter.

Living in the past and being anxious about the future is a sign you're not taking your current life seriously. Your current life should be filled with a vision that exhausts your mental faculties to the point where thinking hurts.

Confidence comes from competence.
If you're not confident at something, you haven't done it enough times. It's as simple as that. You want to execute so many reps, in various different scenarios, that it becomes second nature.
Confidence is about TRUSTING your ability
And your ability is dependent on the reps you put in, the feedback you implement, and how fast you're able to adapt.
