Why Most People Will Never Be Successful

Most people end up being mediocre.

They choose a false sense of safety for uncertainty.

Conventional wisdom from our parents say that safe decisions are the best bet.

"You don't need to do something you're uncomfortable with."

Bullshit.

Being your own boss knocks on your door once you reverse this hypothesis.

Traveling the whole world without EVER worrying about money again.

The freedom you’ve always wished for -

If you do what you hate.

That means turning away from the safety & security of the mainstream.

And embracing your fears.

Be Willing to Fail

We're creatures of habit.

We hate change because of that & tend to fear it.

If something scares you, you should do it because it scares you.

Fear of failure is a great example here.

Failure is a nightmare for most.

So they run away from it.

In their eyes, sucking at something is irreversible.

It's a lifelong disease.

Their self-esteem depends on their performance.

If they fail?

They feel like they aren't good enough.

That's exactly the reason they don't grow.

Failure allows you to learn from your mistakes.

Without failure, you'll end up in mediocrity.

A Dance with Fear

A month ago, I took a close look at my life.

I pondered my personal development up to this point.

"What led me here?"

''How can I continue to grow even more?''

And I realized I had to dance with fear to move forward in life.

Fear has always been a driving factor for me.

Hate is a powerful emotion with a lot of energy behind it.

I feared publishing my work under my real name.

"What if I fuck up and people cancel me?"

I also hated the idea of talking to people on English and writing DMs.

Every time I did those things anyway, a huge period of growth came into my life.

Opportunities and offers appeared out of nowhere.

Everything I used to hate turned into something that gave me a sense of purpose.

I've found my smile through overcoming fear.

Why Not Do What You Love?

You have to give yourself the permission to be shit.

Chances are, you're pretty good at things you love.

But that's not where growth hides.

It's within doing what you hate & failing.

It allows you to value learning.

Learning is hard & most people would choose entertainment over it.

And that's good news for you.

Prioritizing learning and embracing failure catapults you into the 1% of people.

You don't want to be the king of the mediocrity hill.

Leave the crowd.

The biggest benefit of choosing hate over love (hehe)

Is that fear snaps me back to reality... (Yooo, this Eminem?)

I can feel the gravity pulling me back to the present moment.

It's hard not to be present when you're afraid of heights and standing on a suspension bridge.

You'll feel alive and everything else will fade into the background.

Being scared in the present is good.

Conclusion

If you're able to snap yourself back into reality and face your fears, there's a high chance you end up in one of these:

Making something different is the best way to get back on track.

A wise man once said:

At least I found that to be true.

Give yourself the permission to be shit and get a bit closer to getting it right every time you do.

Yasar out.

P.S.

Underestimated the length of the newsletter last week, was at 2k words and not done yet.

I decided to let it cook longer

And to keep this issue shorter than usual.

I hope you like it anyway.

Have a blessed day!
