Adopt that whatever it takes mentality or mindset. Don’t be a prisoner of your own rules.

A lot of the time you feel that you are against a lot of principles, tips, tools, methods, and advice that could help you reach the outcomes that you desire. Disregard your emotions in this area. Focus on getting the results you want. Amass more weapons, tools, and options in your arsenal. I understand that you have principles that you want to stick to through thick and thin. Integrity. Morality. A philosophy. That is okay. But without enough flexibility, and enough wisdom to be okay with doing stuff that is inconsistent with your identity, you’ll always be outplayed by those who don’t have anything to lose. The core message here is do not dismiss a piece of advice, a technique, or a tool that could be massively helpful or useful for you in life or in your work, just because it’s not in alignment with what you deem or describe as perfect or your preferred stance on anything. This is of course as long as you are not doing anything that is absolutely wrong in and of itself. For example, I believe that I should not substitute the truth for any kind of delusion that would make me more powerful. That said, I still have no problem with motivating myself by telling myself in front of the mirror I’m the best there is. I’m utilizing the technique of positive thinking and mindset to achieve greater results in life, even though I firmly believe that I should always focus on taking action that could make a difference in the external real world, because the problem isn’t because I’m negative, it’s the environment or circumstances that I’m stuck in. That’s flexibility that will make you unstoppable, because it makes you accomplish goals through a whatever it takes mentality, as opposed to rigidity that makes you refuse to take advantage of any opportunity, because you’d rather be right than actually win. If it works, then what the hell are you waiting for?3d
