Best or Worst

The next edition of NO DRIFT, my newsletter for men who want more discipline and direction in their lives, comes out tomorrow. Subscribe here.
Friday, October 3
What if everything works out?
What if instead of assuming the worst, you assumed the best?
What if you looked for the good instead of the bad?
What if you showed up with optimism instead of pessimism (that you label as realism just to make yourself feel better)?
How would that change how you approached things?
How would that change your effort?
How would that change your influence?
How would that change your impact?
Things are never going to perfect. But we don’t give them a chance to work when we always assume the worst.
Optimism is the advantage.
Keep chopping wood. 🪵🪓
