To be successful, you can’t continue being with low frequency people for long periods of time.
You can’t continue eating crappy food, regardless of your spouse’s or colleague’s food choices.
Your days must consistency be spent on high quality activities.
The more successful you become — which is
balancing the few essential things (spiritual, relational, financial,
physical) in your life and removing everything else — the less you can
justify low quality.
Before you evolve, you can reasonably spend time with just about anyone.
You can reasonably eat anything placed in front of you.
You can reasonably justify activities and behaviors that are, frankly, mediocre.
As your vision for yourself expands, you
realize you have to make certain adjustments. You need to cut-back on
spending all of your money and time on crap and entertainment. You have
to save more, and invest more in your education and your future.
The more successful you become, the less you
can justify low quality. The more focused you must become. The more
consistently your daily behaviors must be high quality — and
increasingly higher quality.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s definitely
not about being busy all the time. Actually, the balance of true success
involves what Tim Ferriss calls “mini-retirements” or regular sabbaticals.
Yet, if your daily behaviors are consistently low quality, what do you expect your life’s output to be?
Your choices must become higher quality.
Your relationships must become higher quality.
Every area of your life affects every other area of your life. Hence the saying, How you do anything is how you do everything. This
is very high level thinking. It only makes sense for people who have
removed everything from their lives they hate. To actually live this
principle: your daily and normal life can only be filled with those
things you highly value.
