Today I felt excited and dreadful.

Excited because of all the interesting things I get to do, manage people, build projects, solve problems, and get paid to do it. It aligns with the vision I have stirred in my heart for so long.

I felt dreadful because of the sheer inputs I have to put into each operation.

The deep work, the creative thinking, every single day, 11 hours a day. And if you do not, there are consequences.

In entrepreneurship, you make your own consequences and choose your own volume.

You can slow down on volume or you can go 999 max.

I prefer 999 max.

After giving all those inputs, you feel tired, bad, and frustrated. But I went on a long walk, and I go on long walks every day in nature. And in that walk, I thought this is what I always wanted.

Doing things I like, being obsessive, and sharing the reward with others.

My mind is empty, my body is tired, and I am frustrated, filled with emotions.

But emotions are fleeting.

I do not listen to them.

As Alex Hormozi says, the best days are the days you empty the fuel tank.

Those are the days you feel the most fulfilled, and today was that day.

So, I guess fulfillment comes from bearing self-chosen load under pressure.

I felt overwhelmed by the responsibilities I have now, of others, of myself, and of the vision in my heart. When you venture into the unknown, you have to adapt.

To adapt, you face resistance.

Resistance is bearing the load, and I want to bear that load.

I asked myself if I should put down some load or take on more.

I thought you either die or you adapt.

In real life, you cannot die in business, but you can always adapt.

You adapt when there is pressure and your survival is at stake.

So I said who gives a shit, I will take on more responsibilities.

I went all in.

Mental Model: You grow by increasing the weight you decide to hold.

Some people work so hard because they cannot escape the existential dread of life. Even if they try to bear that dread, the stage of their life and the systems of society do not allow them to. So they put their head down and work so hard to restructure their stage and get out of the system to bear the load of existence.

And one belief got stronger.

PS: We are all figuring this out in real time. If you want to talk about your giving all day, I’m here.

PPS: Remember, sit in pain until you adapt.
