FHP 402 - Is Obsession a Bad Thing?


Listen Later

If you want to reach the highest level, you need to be obsessed.

Obsession really just means you’re willing to do what others won’t even when you don’t want to.

We have to sometimes stay up late. Get up early.

Skip a drink at happy hour.

But the thing is…we aren’t missing out.

We’re pursuing what really matters.

Life is a constant balancing act. And if we want one thing, there is ultimately ALWAYS going to be something you’re “missing out on.”

The key is remembering what we truly want and not being afraid to go after it.

Some things that help me be obsessed, in a good way of course…
