What is the truth?

Only for the serious individual...

How to Achieve More in 1 Week than 99% of People Do in 12 months6 min read

There are a lot of parts in that statement, in that question, that need further explanation.

 

“How to do” implies that I can share how to do something and that you can practice my method or my teaching and get to the desired outcome.

But is that true?

Can someone teach you a method that you can do and it gives you that outcome?

It reminds me of a quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti:

 

“I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. 

 

The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth.”

But it seems to work for very specific problems or things. 

Very specific questions.

 

For example, how to segment an audience in my newsletter platform ConvertKit. 

There could be multiple ways to do it, but very few; it’s very limited. 

 

The more specific it becomes, eventually there’s only one way to do it.

But I’m not sure if that applies to everything. 

 

For example, scoring a free kick in soccer. 

It seems that can’t get more specific. 

I mean, you could specify the exact placement in the goal and spin of the ball. 

But that doesn’t seem really practical. 

I mean, that would never happen. Asking for such things…

 

So I’m not sure if that always applies. 

But it seems like it happens often when it is very specific and technical:

 

That there’s only one way to do it.

 

BUT there’s a reason why you want to do the thing, the “how-to”. 

There’s a reason why people are interested in the “how to”. 

 

Which is NOT “How to Achieve More in 1 Week than Most People Do in 12 months.” 

 

Because most people do things for external reasons.

For instance to become rich, so they can get respect from others, by the car they drive or house they live in.

 

So then, how to do more in one week than 99% of other people? 

Seems to be an interesting question to most people because they want to become rich. 

And they think that by doing more, they can get rich faster.

 

But is that true?

 

More of the effective stuff seems to get you faster to what you want.

 

It reminds me of a quote from Peter Drucker:

 

“Efficiency is doing things right.

 

Effectiveness is doing the right things.”

But are you doing effective ‘stuff’?

 

It doesn’t matter that you do more than 99% of people. 

What do other people have to do with you? That wouldn’t matter.

Because what do you want? 

Let’s say it’s money. 

Which I assume it is. 

 

So when it is money, then what do you want? How much? You want a monthly income? You want to get to an amount? And why?

 

When you ask these things honestly, and genuinely, it seems to be not the money you want. 

For that matter’s nothing. 

Just putting it in the bank. 

 

You want to buy stuff from it. 

You want to live in a specific place. 

You want to drive a specific car. 

You want to live a certain way. 

 

Based on what you see on social media often. 

Drive the Lambo. 

Live in Dubai. 

Travel the world. 

And buy stuff when you want to. 

Designer clothes, shoes, phones, experiences, VIP, blah, blah, blah.

 

So if that is what you want, then wouldn’t it be effective to… Well, two things. 

  1. Wouldn’t it be effective to find out how you really can get THAT? Instead of asking a very different question, such as how can I do more in 1 week than 99% of people in a year. 
  2. And the second thing is, do you even want THAT? Because if you don’t, then it would be a massive waste of time, effort, and energy?

 

I mean…

If you find out at the end of your life that you didn’t want money, but used all your time to get it…

Then wouldn’t you have told yourself to spend more time on the question of “what do I really want?”

 

It almost always comes back to the question, what do you really want?

 

For when you do, when you really know what you want, then with given enough time, you will get it.

 

It brings me to another quote from Krishnamurti:

 

“It is love alone that leads to right action. 

What brings order in the world is to love and let love do what it will.”

 

~ J. Krishnamurti

That’s with everything. 

Except for a few things.

I mean, you could really want to be better than Lionel Messi. 

But will that happen, even though you wanted it the most in life? 

 

Seems very unlikely, right?

 

So there seem to be some things that are not possible. 

And I say that very carefully, for I do not like the word, because it is often used as an excuse or limited belief. But it seems to be true, which is why I say it.

 

For certain things talent plays a significant role.

That could be the case. 

 

But then is the question of how to do more in one week than 99% of people do in one year, is that still a relevant question? 

 

Because is it about doing more?

Or is it about doing less?

Maybe even more so:

Doing what is effective and that’s it. Not about MORE.

 

I mean, I can walk the whole day, but if it doesn’t give me what I want, then it doesn’t matter if I walk more or not.

 

So, it’s really about finding, first of all, what you want, for then you can think.

Use thought for maybe the first time in your life, as a TOOL to discover YOUR OWN “how to” to get what you want, and then do more of THAT IF at all needed.

 

Nobody really seems to think that way.

It could absolutely be possible to get what you really want after finding out what you really want in one day of work.

 

Because if you had a connection with the CEO of a big company, and you sold them a deal of one million dollars, and that’s all profit to you, and that was your goal. There you have it.

 

And even let’s say you don’t have that connection, but you still make that deal within a day, because you thought about the most effective way to get there. 

 

Then it was not about how to do more. 

E.g. How to read more books. 

 

I mean, you’re so conditioned to believe that that is the way to get what you want. 

While you’ve never asked what you really want. 

And if the things you are doing, will really get you there.

 

“The primary cause of disorder in ourselves is the seeking of reality promised by another.”

~ Krishnamurti

So then, if the title changed from “how to do more in one week than 99% of people do in one year,” if that changes to the question: 

 

“What is the most effective way to find what you want in life, and what is the most effective way to get that?”

 

If it changes to THAT. 

And you’re asking that for yourself.

And finding the answers.

Or better questions, and through that the answers.

But effectively getting to the answer.

 

Then THAT seems to be a question to ask, whereas the title of this letter is NOT.

It’s not a question to even consider, for it doesn’t matter.

 

If you want to feel good.

Then it is actually very effective to watch some of your favorite comedians.

The ones you actually laugh to often…

 

And you can even optimize, by really finding the best ones, right?

 

So that is a very effective way, but nobody thinks that way, and nobody asks themselves if that’s what they really want, so how do you find out what you really want? 

 

Because that seems to be the core of this, it seems to be at the core of life, for anything else seems like a waste.

 

But is there such a thing?

Is there such a thing that you SHOULD want?

For there is a lot of belief in that.

That there should be such a thing, that there should be something that I want in life.

That I do NOT have at this moment.

 

“If you can’t find it in today,

Will you ever find bliss?”

Well, that is a topic for another letter, for that is absolutely a big belief that could be very untrue, for it implies that there is something, not in today, not in right now, that COULD BE there in the future, or IS in the future, and that THAT SHOULD be gotten, that that should be wanted.

 

It almost seems impossible not to believe that…

For what is then left? 

 

If there shouldn’t be something gotten from the future, in the future, that you do not have right now, then that means that right now is good enough and that you could basically die right now and have had what you wanted. Right?

 

So why is that bad? Why does that sound and feel strange? UNNACEPTABLE to the mind?

 

Because it seems to be perfect. 

So why does that not satisfy the mind? 

That’s a topic for another letter.

A Coin of Truth (Powerful Poem)

In English we say “How do I get rich?”

In Poetry we say:

 

If you can desire wealth not for the cash, but what it buys, 

Yet see that riches may cloud what truly lies.

 

If you can ask with honesty, what you desire most, 

And realize that life’s true wants might differ from the things you can boast.

 

If you can think beyond the crowd and find what is yours, 

And see that wanting MORE might not unlock life’s hidden doors.

 

If you can do what matters, and let go of waste, 

You may find that in this focused aim, clarity remains.

 

If you can seek your heart’s true quest, and strive for what’s WITHIN, 

You’ll find that all the noise around must be silence to begin.
