Obsession beats discipline - go all-in on your craft until you either die or get reborn.
Winners hate losing more than they love winning
Evidence
The sting of loss motivates more than the joy of victory. Elite performers are driven by loss aversion more than gain seeking. The fear of losing creates more consistent effort than the hope of winning.
Implication
Use your hatred of losing as fuel. Do not try to replace it with positive motivation. The negative drive is more reliable. Frame challenges as avoiding loss rather than seeking gain.
Counter Belief
Excessive fear of losing creates risk aversion and playing not to lose. Positive motivation is more sustainable long-term. Joy in the process matters.
Example Application
The sting of a lost deal motivates more than the joy of a closed one. Use that asymmetry deliberately by vividly imagining loss before big moments.
