This is the entire essence of life: “Who are you? What are you?”

Life is a struggle. Therefore, salvation lies in a meaningful struggle. So what is a meaningful struggle? A life that will minimize regrets on my deathbed, while bringing maximal positive changes and impact to the world around me and the people I cherish.

These are some of the changes and impact I aspire to achieve in my lifetime.

How will I achieve them?

A. System over will-power

1. Believing is the first step. Believing that you have, and can have what it takes to live up to the cause you stand for.
2. Creating the systems and tools, the second
3. Sticking to it, the third.
4. Gradually improving, the fourth.
5. Keeping open mind for quantum jumps, the fifth.

B. Mindsets to cherish

Change starts with me. Change starts with understanding the past and the present. Change starts with planning for the future, and above all change starts by taking small steps forward.

We strive for change not because we are certain of the future outcome. We strive for change because we hope for the better future. We strive for change because we know the present: how life would be, if we do not change it ourselves.

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.”

Michael Jordan

“Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.”

Steve Jobs

And so, anything (though not everything) that I can achieve through the creation of the systems and tools, I will achieve because in meaningful struggle lies salvation.
