BECOME AF 🔐 #04: No problems, no plot. How to view problems, SAT's, We owe it to them. It ain't that deep.
For The Crazies.
What's in my notes app this week: From Thoughts, Books, pods, articles, social media?
Let’s find out.
Welcome to Inputs by CRAZY AF.
Written every Sunday and sharing what I learned this week:
Here’s the video!
No problem, no plot.
The best stories the main character has to overcome something.
Think about any movie you loved. There's some sort of plot structure or hero’s journey involved.
I know I sound like a English teacher but hear me out.
Problems make the plot.
If you don’t have problems in your life, you don’t have a good story.
Any problem you have, you only have 3 options.
Change it
Accept it
Leave it
What makes you feel shitty is when you sit around wishing you would change it but not changing it … or wishing you would leave it but not leaving it.
That’s what makes most of our misery.
The thing I pray for more than anything else:
If I only had ONE message (or tool) I could put out for the rest of my life,
It would be this: SAT. (Not the test you have to take to get into college.)
Get really good at your SAT’s
S - Surrender to what happens (all kinds of waves will come)
A - Accept it as it comes (ride the wave as best you can)
T - Trust it’s meant to level you up in SOME way. (You are meant to learn something on the wave)
I practice and pray for this more than anything else. At least 3 times a day.
We owe it to the next generation.
Changed my content up after asking for data on the ig. - Sports, biz, life (with lax heavily baked in)
Reason? I had 3 girls reach out to me about sports and mindset last week and it got me thinking.
I want to make art, but I also want to make it valuable.
As someone who has accomplished what all those young girls want - I owe it to them.
A couple dots I connected this week on this:
The point is to move the human race forward - that’s how we evolve as society.
Your purpose is not what you do, it’s what happens in others when you do what you do.
At their age I was looking for a female I could look up to. One that was fierce but had a quality message to bring. I got lucky having Bethany Hamilton as an input in my life.
We have an obligation to the future generations of America.
This is how we fix what is going on in this country…
by training a bunch of young crazy kids to go out and KICK ASS and be good people.
Everything is led by the SHOWING them.
You gotta show them the kick ass part and what it looks like.
They gotta be able to see it, point at what you have done, your successful business, beautiful house, and most importantly your lifestyle, and they say… “That’s how I want to live”
Reminders I keep telling myself:
“It’s not that deep.” - don’t overthink shit.
Creatives need alot of reps, get good at saying “good enough” improve ONE thing from each video.
Work hard, but also learn to let it work for you. Trying to balance this dichotomy.
That’s it guys - short and sweet.
