Doing too much is the easiest way to lose your life

We all have fomos, we all tend to quit and start something new easily.

The Courage of Persistence

Persistence requires courage, a great Founder should be persistent, and flexible. Knowing when to pivot is not that easy, doing something no one does, it feels lonely, doubtful and terrifying, you can never know whether you are right or not, you can only choose whether to believe it or not.

The Illusion of the Obvious Path

Once I thought, doing something obivious is easier, maybe smaller, but can make you a real working business, for a small amount? yes, but definitely you don't know how small it is, most of the time it might not even worth the try. And in the long term you definitely don't know how hard it can be to persist.

We live in a competitive world, everything obivious must have been done by somebody before, more than once. You might not know their success or their silent failure.

The Danger of Doing Too Much

So we tend to do more, trying more is not that bad, but lacking of persistence is the killer of success. If we move and iterate fast enough, we can still get a chance, but doing too much at the same time is a huge disaster. Even some successful entrepreneurs have done this before, it's still not the best way. There might not be a best way for this, but you should always try your best.

If you still want to do multiple things at the same time, there is a moment when you see a friend of yours or someone you know, you thought he or she is no better than you, suddenly they got successful on an idea you once look down on, you will regret yourself at that moment for not being persistent enough, for not focusing enough. You will measure his or her success as a story of focus and persistence.

Your Competitors Are Human Too

Dont underestimate your competitors, they are all fighting with their teeth to get their reward, id you just “try” something randomly, how the hell are you gonna win them?

Fortunately, they all have the same problem, they tend to quit easily and tend to do too much at the same time. You have to act smart and differently to win that reward, you have to think creative to get a genius solution, even 99% of the time would be terrifying and you just maintain strong execution efficiency and wait for the moment.

Overcoming Fear and Self-Doubt

Don't underestimate yourself either, because FEAR can only give you a small life. We all only live once, so make it extraordinary and enjoy. Too many people failed not because they miss out something, but because they didn't focus and persist enough, but they all tend to blame that as a reason of miss out, they said to themselves, if there is another chance, they won't miss out again, but they will.
