Hey, this is Leo, for Actualized.org.

And in this episode, I want to give you one really simple rule for aacing life. Okay, so this rule is so super simple, so stupidly simple that it's really profound in how its tentacles reach out into every aspect of your life.

This is a big one. This is huge right here.

But it's very simple. And because it's so simple you might

overlook it and you might dismiss it as just like oh I kind of already knew that.

But I encourage you to actually stick with me here and to contemplate the significance of what I'm about to tell you

because this is a very significant and a very profound insight.

Here's the rule. The one rule that you need for acing life.

Always do what's emotionally most difficult.

Always. most difficult to do in whatever situation you find yourself in.

This is the exact opposite.

If you take a moment to think about it,

the exact opposite of what most people do.

It's the exact opposite of what you do in almost every situation.

And this is the mother of all screw-ups and problems and frustrations in life is this.

What most people do is they do the exact opposite in a sense that they're looking for the most emotionally convenient and comfortable and easy thing that they can do in life.

And they think that that's going to lead to the most cushy, comfortable, and

pleasant life that one can have. But actually what it does counterintuitively is that it leads to a

mediocre and very frustrating kind of life. So to really hammer this point home, I want to give you a whole list of examples of how this principle applies to many different contexts in life because it applies to everything.

It applies to your relationships, it applies to business, it applies to your health,

to your finances, to your mood, to the way you think to the goals you pursue in life everything

literally everything and the trick about it is, is it's a very counterintuitive thing.
