Core & Peripherals (Used By The Top 1%)
You want all the glamour in this world. 💸
The dream body, financial freedom, the ability to talk to people without overthinking, love & respect from others.
What if I tell you that you can get all of these things, but there’s a catch…
You’ll only get these things if you DON’T LOOK at them at all.
What? 😵💫
What the heck is this weird concept, you might think to yourself.
Well, this is none other than the weird law of Core & Peripherals.
See, whatever you want comes in the category of peripherals.
These are the eventual by-products.
That you get once you focus on the Core.
The core is what you WORK ON to achieve the peripherals.
It is the secret button that you press, which causes the peripherals to chase you.
But how does that work exactly?
Let me explain it with an example of a cat. 🐈
See, when you like a cat, and you want it to come to you…
You kneel down, rub your fingers in front of it, and call it by saying: “psst psst psst.”
But the thing is, most cats don’t come to you (especially the shy ones)
And then you become frustrated and you start to get back and walk towards it.
And the cat walks away from you. 🐈 🏃
As you increase your speed to chase it.
The cat increases its speed to run away from you. 🐈 🏃
But now imagine the opposite scenario…
This time, go to the cat with delicious cat treats…
Now...the cat rushes towards you and even wants to lie on your lap after having the treats.
Heck, ten more cats will join you, and all of a sudden, you’re the “cat whisperer”
The same is with our materialistic goals.
For instance:
Peripheral: You wanna get better at social interactions
Core: talk to strangers, share your opinion with your loved ones, have child-like curiosity.
Peripheral: You want 3 clients this month
Core: 10 cold outreach/day, make 2-3 YT vid/week
Peripheral: You want to level up in work (generally)
Core: Strong work ethic, punctuality, innovate with new ideas, take feedback from past mistakes
Whatever you want to achieve lies in the Core.
The highly successful people know this immensely.
Take the example of legend Michael Jordan, the famous basket baller.
Back in the days, MJ was a beast when it came to basketball practice.
He used to practice early and go late.
He was obsessed with the practice because that was his Core.
But as he became famous and successful…
He started attending all sorts of interviews, giving attention to the media, etc.
And he started to fall behind.
That is because he started focusing on the Peripherals instead.
He realized that quickly, and he immediately focused on what made him the star: The Core.
So he went back to practice, and all of his focus was on becoming #1.
That’s why he died as a legendary sportsman and left a huge legacy.
Even to this day, the Nike Air Jordan sneakers we see today still live and thrive with his name.
Focus on the Core, and the Peripherals will follow.
