The world class have curious minds, which is an important trait for success. Although passion is often praised, curiosity is also vital towards achieving greatness.
The victim mindset is the lowest level when it comes to achieving goals, with curiosity being a scalable way to constantly push towards more without the bad stuff that comes with relentlessness.
The difference between an extreme realist and a pessimist lies in their perception of life's struggles. While a pessimist may dwell on the negative aspects of life, an extreme realist accepts life's harsh realities and strives to overcome them.
The journey of chasing excellence involves a constant level of awareness, especially during difficult moments like receiving bad emails, negative comments on social media, or being pushed out of our comfort zone. Overcoming these triggers with discipline and self-awareness can help us achieve greatness.
The first step to taking control of your life is to understand the things that you ultimately control. This can be achieved by recognizing the circle of control in your life and focusing on what you can control rather than worrying about what you cannot control.
The speaker loves curiosity as it leads to a flow state and believes in saying yes to experiences and getting out to do things as a way of living life.

The speaker discusses the importance of choosing fulfilling experiences such as spending quality time with loved ones instead of pursuing short term gratifications. He also talks about how adversity is an important factor for personal growth.
Taking action towards a goal or project can help resolve feelings of anxiety, as it promotes a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment. Craving that feeling of success can motivate individuals to push through anxiety and work towards achievements.
In this episode, the speaker suggests that changing one's perspective on winning, losing, and preparation can help build confidence. Instead of focusing solely on the outcome, shift your focus to the entire process.
