Ngaba uye wahlala indawo. Inombolo yokuthengisa. Ukukhuthaza. Umfundisi ufakelo. Into uye wahlanganyela ukuthi uzama. Ngama-72 amahora, uye. Uyazi eliphezulu. Uyazi ukuthi uye. Uyazi ukuthi uye uye. Ngemuva kwalokho, into eyaziwayo iholela. Lezi zangaphakathi ezingenalutho. Lezi zenzakalo ze-"akhawunti ye-what." Lezi zenzakalo zihlala emaphandleni emangalisayo emangalisayo emangalisayo emangalisayo emangalisayo emangalisayo emangalisayo emangalisayo emangalisayo. Ngakho-ke ungenza ukuthi uye uvame. Uyakwazi ukucubungula izinga elinye. Izinga elikhulu. Ngoba uma le izinga lashukumisa, le izinga elilandelayo ngeke. Uma le izinga lokuphumula akufanele, izinga elandelayo izinga. You’ve been running this experiment your entire adult life. And it has never worked. Not once. Kodwa uxhumane. Ngenxa yokuba i-strategy eyodwa ekhona ukujabulela okungcono kuyinto ukwandisa ngaphezulu. Okuningi izinzuzo. Okuningi izinzuzo. Okuningi izinzuzo. Okuningi izinzuzo. Okuningi konke. Yintoni uma impendulo ayidlulile? I-Mathematics You've Been Getting Wrong Wonke abantu abalandela umdlavuza akuyona elifanayo. Abanikezela njenge-akhawunti yebhanki. Ingabe ufuna ukushumeka okwengeziwe? Ukubhalisa izinto ezingcono. Ukubhalisa izici ezingaphezu. Thenga izinto ezingaphezu. Thenga iziphakamiso ezingaphezu. Isilinganiso kufanele siphinde. It is not working this way. I-Happiness is not an account you fill. It’s a signal you uncover. Thola amahora emzimbeni emzimbeni yakho lapho ungacindezela ngokufanele. Akukho iziphumo – zithunyelwe ukunciphisa, akufanele ukunciphisa. Akukho iziphakamiso – zithunyelwe iziphakamiso, akufanele ukunambitheka. Amahora lapho ungacindezela ngokufanele, ngokuphephile. Ukuze abaninzi abantu, lezi izinsuku zihlanganisa into eyodwa: ukufinyelela. Ukungabikho kwe-stress ye-financial. Ukungabikho kwe-relationships e-toxic. Ukungabikho kwe-obligations eyenza wena. Ukungabikho kwe-noise eqhubekayo ekubeni ukuthi ungenza. You weren’t adding something. You were finally free from something. Kuyinto ingxenye ukuthi abantu abacebile bafumene ngokugcwele. Uyakwazi ukujabulela okungcono kuyinto ukujabulela ngaphezulu. Umzila ukujabulela okungcono kuyinto ukujabulela ukuthi ukuphazamiseka. I-Debt. I-Draining people. I-Yes engagements. I-Yes engagements.

I-Principle ye-Sculpture Uma uMichelangelo wabanjwa kanjani uDavid - omunye ama-sculptures emangalisayo embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa embalwa Ngathi: "Ndiyathanda umangeli e-marble futhi wahlala lapho ngithole. " U-David akuyona. U-David akuyona konke okungenani-David. Kuyinto isisombululo se-art kuphela. Kuyinto isisombululo se-living. Futhi abantu abacindezelwe ngokwenene ubumnandi – hhayi kuphela umphumela, kodwa ubumnandi – akufuna ngokufanele. Ngithole imali engaphezu kukaqiniso. I-strategy yayo akuyona izinzuzo ezininzi. It is eliminating almost all of them. Ngithole it “20-slot rule” – ukubonisa ukuthi unayo kuphela 20 izinzuzo emhlabeni wonke. Ngizokwenzeka ukuthi ungazange wathi yes izinzuzo ezinhle ukuze ungacabanga yes izinzuzo ezinhle. Warren Buffett Umlingani wakhe uCharlie Munger wenza okuhle kakhulu: “Ukuhlinzeka ukuthi izinzuzo eziningi zokusebenza ngempumelelo abantu ezifana nathi ngokuvamile, ngaphandle kokuphumula, ngaphandle kokuphumula ngokuphumula kakhulu.” Ukunciphisa ukucindezeleka. Ukunciphisa ukucindezeleka. Ikheli elifanayo esibonakalayo emhlabeni wonke. Umbhalo olungcono akhiye amabhodi eminingi - kuyinto ukunciphisa kuze kube kuphela izinto eziyinhloko. Amabhizinisi amakhulu akhiwa ngokongeza imikhiqizo eminingi - I-Apple ngokuvamile idolobha nge imikhiqizo amabili, bese i-Jobs wahlala i-70% yayo futhi yasungulwa inkampani enhle kakhulu emkhakheni. Amabhizinisi amakhulu akhiwa nge-akhawunti eminingi - zithunyelwe kuzo zonke izinto ezingenalutho. Addition is the amateur strategy. Subtraction is how mastery actually works. Kodwa ukuhlola lokhu futhi ukuyifumana kuyinto izinto ezimbili ezahlukile. Ngenxa yokuthumela isisindo ngayinye manje ukuthi ungahambisa ngisho. Ubunzima Uyavumelana Nge Ngingathanda ukuthi yini ingangena lapho ngihambe emahhovisi futhi awukwazi ukujabulela. Imininingwane ezivela kule uhambo iminyaka eminyakeni. I-Beach. No meetings. No deadlines. My fiancée was happy. Everything I had said to myself that I was working towards was right in front of me. Ngiyaxolisa. Ngaphandle kwe-dramatically miserable. Just... tight. I-distracted. Ngingathola lapho ngiye. Ukubuyekeza i-mobile yami ngezinqubo. Ukusebenza nge-mental to-do lists. Ukusebenzisa le ubuningi ebonakalayo ukuthi angikwazi ukunciphisa, ngisho lapho akuyona ngokucophelela akuyona. Kuyinto lapho ndingathanda: the weight wasn’t coming from what was in front of me. It was coming from everything I’d piled onto my life over the years and never taken off. Iziqu ze-customer ezivela ezingenalutho, kodwa ngifakwe ngoba i-money iye enhle. Iziqu ze-commitments ezivela ngexesha elinye kodwa ayidlulile. Amathuba angafuna ngenxa yokubonisa ngokubanzi, akuyona ngenxa yokuba zihlanganisa ukuthi ngiye kwenziwe. Iziqu ekhaya yami, i-calendar yam, i-head yam - konke okuphumelela iminyaka eminingi, futhi ngithanda nje ... ukucubungula. You do this too. You adapt to weight until it feels normal. Kuyinto uhambo okuvula wena ngalinye? Uyaziwe. Lezi ukucindezeleka kwezimali ebhokisi? Uyaziwa ukucindezeleka. Lezi kalendar okuhlobene ezingenalutho izinto ukuthi ungathanda ukwenza? Uyaziyaziya njengoko "ukubala kanjani. " It’s not how life is. It’s how your life is. Because you keep adding and never subtract. Futhi kunikeza wena ngaphezulu kunokwenzeka. Yini Oku Kuthengiswa Kwesimo I-cost real ayikho i-time yakho - kodwa inikeza wena futhi. I-cost real i-capacity yakho ukujabulela i-good that is already there. Ngaba unayo izinto emzimbeni yakho manje esithakazelisayo. Abantu esithakazelisayo. Imizuzu esithakazelisayo. Kodwa ungakwazi ukujabulela noma yini. Ngenxa yokuba uneminyaka emzimbeni kakhulu ukuthatha konke okuvuma ukugcina. Yonke okufakiwe emva kokusebenza, izidingo, kanye nokuguqulwa kokubeletha ngosuku zonke. Umlingani wakho inikeza inguqulo oluthile. Amadivayisi bakho inikeza inguqulo oluthile. Wonke umuntu inikeza lokho okufakiwe ngemuva kwezinye izinto zihlanganisa - okufakiwe kakhulu. The people closest to you are getting the scraps. I-stress. I-sleep you're not getting. I-exercise you keep postponing. I-recovery you never prioritize. It doesn't announce itself. It just accumulates. Kwangathi ngosuku eyodwa umzimba wakho ushiye inkinobho yayo yonke into eyenza. Your health is eroding quietly. I-Dinner that should feel like a celebration is like another item on the list. I-weekend that should feel like freedom is like recovery from the week. You are so weighed down that even the good stuff doesn’t register as good. The moments you should be enjoying disappear. Umphumela Wonke Wokufinyelela Izinto Ubufakazi Kuhle. Kodwa ungakuthanda Kuhle ngoba ungathanda kakhulu ukuze uxhumane inkinobho kakhulu. Ngakho ungathola ngaphezulu, ukholelwa ukuthi kungcono. Akukho. Kuyinto kuphela ukwengeza ubuningi ngaphezulu. And the worst part — you’re not even enjoying the success. I-addition is the problem pretending to be the solution. I-addition is the problem pretending to be the solution. I-audit ye-subtraction Ngiyazi. Kubandakanya imizuzu angu-30. Iningi abantu akukwazi ukwenza lokho ngoba kufuneka ukholelwa ukuthi izinto ezidlulile zithunyelwe manje zithunyelwe. Lezi ziye zithunyelwe kubandakanya ukuthi baye zithunyelwe. Part 1: The Drain List (10 minutes) Ukubhalisa yonke into emzimbeni wakho okuvimbela. Akukho izinto ezinzima kodwa ezigcwele. Izinto ezinzima ezinzima ezinzima. Iziqu ze-relations that leave you feeling worse after every interaction. Iziqu ze-commitments you fear. Iziqu ze-goals you’re chasing out of ego, not genuine desire. Iziqu zihlanganisa indawo yakho ne-mind. Iziqu ze-financial that create constant stress. Yonke into eyenzayo ngenxa yokuba “ukuba,” hhayi ngenxa yinkimbinkimbi esizayo. Hlola, Hlola, Hlola, Hlola, Hlola Part 2: Keep, Kill, Reduce (15 minutes) Ngena ngemvume ngamunye: — Hlola ngokuphelele. Hlola uhambo. Hlola isivumelwano. Hlola isiqinisekiso. Hlola into. Thenga izinto. Kill – Ungenza, kodwa ungenza. Uma ngenyanga kunokuba ngenyanga. Imibala kunokuba unlimited. Reduce – Ukulinganiswa, kodwa kulinganiswa ngokwenene. Lezi zincazelo. Qinisekisa ukuthi kungenzeka ngokwenene. Keep Izinto ezininzi ukuthi ufuna ukubhalisa “keep” ziye ngokwenene “kill” noma “reducing.” Ufuna nje ukujabulela. Part 3: One Subtraction (5 minutes) Khetha okuzenzakalelayo okuzenzakalelayo okuzenzakalelayo emoyeni yakho. Okuzenzakalelayo okuzenzakalelayo okuzenzakalelayo okuzenzakalelayo okuzenzakalelayo, okuzenzakalelayo okuzenzakalelayo. Kuyinto ukucindezeleka kwakho jikelele ngeviki elandelayo. Ukunciphisa lokho. Yenza le yedijithali ngamahora angu-90. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uzothola imizila. Ngaphezu kwalokho, uzothola imizila emangalisayo. Akukho ngenxa yokufinyelela izinto ezintsha. Ngenxa yokuqala, uzothola imizila emangalisayo. Yini ngokwenene on the other side Ngithanda ukubonisa ukuphila kwakho nge-weight eyenziwe. Ngaphandle kwalokho, akuyona yonke into – isisindo esigcwele. Kodwa isisindo esihlalweni. Imibuzo esizayo. Imibuzo esizayo. Imibuzo esizayo. Imibuzo esizayo. Imibuzo. Imibuzo. Imibuzo. Imibuzo. Imibuzo. Ungathanda ukujabulela ngaphandle kwalokho. Thola ukuthi unayo indawo efanelekayo emkhakheni yakho. I-Spain to think. I-Spain to breathe. I-Spain to be present with the people you built everything for. Ungathanda ukuba ngihambe ngehora futhi ngokwenene ngihambe ngehora. That’s not a fantasy. That’s what’s on the other side of subtraction. Ingabe ufuna ukushumeka kokuthunyelwe kwebhizinisi lakho? Michelangelo akuyona uDavid. Wahlukanisa konke okungenani-David kuze kube kungenzeka. I-Happiness yakho isebenza ngokufanayo. It is not something you build. It is something you discover. It is something you build. It is something you discover. Ngiyaxolisa ngokufanayo nawe. By finally stopping the addition. And starting to carve. Ngena ngemvume, Ngena ngemvume
