Honestly, why do you even care?

Why do you even care about that dream of yours?

About that career, job, project, study?

Why do you care at all?

You might be enjoying your only life as well, aren´t you?

That doesn´t mean necessarily going out on a Saturday night and putting yourself in situations your future self wouldn´t even want to talk about…

But it could be not caring at all about those things that matter to you in the first place.

And here you are.

You are still neglecting that chance to change direction, throw everything out of your boat, and sail freely.

There´s a reason why those things matter to you.

Even though they might not be the prettiest of pictures at times… they are all within the perfect frame for your life.

Focus on the frame, not the picture.

That´s your answer, right there.

See, what if I told you that chasing your dreams is hard… but you will eventually get there if… only if …. you do the boring stuff each morning, every single day.

Most of you probably would reject this offer right away, but just think for a sec here: you COULD ACTUALLY have a chance to live your dream life.

That tiny detail you just analyzed can make the biggest of changes.

You might take the risk and do the boring stuff.

Why?

Because it´s framed within the vision you want for your life.

It´s easy to think the picture is the real sculpture and legendary piece to obtain here.

It´s not that big of a deal.

What matters is the frame you put that picture.

• The hobbies you have

• The books you read

• The content you consume

• The activities you choose to do alone or with your friends

• The career you choose

• The project you decide to build…

All of those are your perfect pictures.

But you paint each and every single one of them only if they fit into the different frames your life has.

If you want a stable job working for someone else rather than yourself, that´s awesome!

You probably won´t be joining a startup any time soon, right?

If you want to create impactful projects and talk about cool tech, biz ideas, and the courses/books you´ve consumed… you probably won´t be going out late at night with your friends to do so… right?

Those perspectives and meanings you align your pictures to are the frames you need to pay attention to in life.

As those can cause only 2 things to your life: they can construct and level it up, or they can destroy it.

The power is within you…

And how you choose to stack and curate your frames.

The original quote was said by the man himself, Steven Bartlett, and if you are curious about how to sharpen those frames if you are an entrepreneur like me or would just like to ensure your projects´ desired results, I´ll be writing a letter about that soon enough, so make sure you subscribe and follow along, (share it to a friend, maybe?) :)

Take care,

- Alex

The real things feel unreal.
