In today’s piece, I’d like to talk about Victim Mentality—and share three simple strategies to eliminate it forever.

Money is a funny thing.

It consumes an enormous amount of our energy and attention in adulthood, but very few of us learn anything about it in childhood or adolescence.

If we're lucky, our parents teach us a few of the basics (and maybe we get a boring course or two on it in school).

But we're pretty much left on our own when it comes to one of the most influential elements in our lives.

I'm 34 years old and I've spent a lot of time thinking about money over the last few years. I've had conversations with thousands of people all across the financial spectrum, from those just scraping by to ultra-billionaires living with incomprehensible wealth.

Today, I'd like to share what I've learned...

The Ancient Greeks had two different words for time:

Chronos was the idea of chronological, linear, quantitative time. That all time is equal.

Kairos was a bit different. That there are certain moments or windows that have more meaning. More texture. More importance. More weight.

We’ve all experienced Kairos time. There are certain moments in life that feel etched into our memory. The pivotal turning points. The experiences or events that have a distinct before and after in how we approached the world.

Cruelly, we often don’t realize we’re living one of those moments until after the fact. We look back on it and say, “ah, yes, that was important!”

Well, last week, I had one of those moments—but I knew it right away…

This has become the most common question I receive:

• Big project, very intimidating
• Don't know where to start
• Feeling stuck, paralyzed, anxious

My response is always the same:

What's the simplest action you can take today that would create forward progress?

On June 11, 1997, Michael Jordan stepped onto the court for Game 5 of the NBA Finals between his Chicago Bulls and the Utah Jazz.

Jordan was reportedly very sick, but chose to play given the critical importance of the game to the series, which was tied 2-2 at the time.

Throughout the game, he looked visibly unwell, with a fever over 100 degrees, he experienced extreme fatigue, dehydration, and body aches.

But despite his condition, he played 44 of the 48 total minutes, scored 38 points, and had 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block. With under one minute left, he hit a 3-pointer to seal the win for the Bulls.

The game—now commonly known as Michael Jordan’s “Flu Game”—has gone down in NBA lore as one of the most impressive, clutch performances in history.

While I do vividly recall watching this game with my dad (I was 6-years-old at the time!), I’m not just sharing this as a fun trip down memory lane…
