8. Aim for financial freedom ...

6. Fail (more) often

Backward story…
As teenager, I did believe that the goal was to never been rejected by any girl.
In tennis, many coaches say: “do not make mistakes.”
In France, when someone does bankrupt, it is seen as a big failure.

..while in fact:
the most interesting women are often those who say no the most
except if your name is Gilles or Daniil, you won’t be at your best just putting the ball in the court
and most billionaires were bankrupt at some point

In short:
if you don’t fail often in your domain, it probably means you don’t go outside your comfort zone.
who do you really want to date? What business would you really create?
how would you like to play the important points in tennis?

Quotes:
“I can accept failure, everyone fails. But I can’t accept not trying.”

2: find this person that is interested in buying it

5: Your authenticity makes you free, strong & connected

The opposite
wanting to please everybody…
lie and manipulate…
fear the consequences for telling your truth…

All of these kill you over time:
blockage of your energy
you give a feeling of fake to people you meet
you are not able to have sincere, deep, intimate relationships.

The path of authenticity
in 10, 20, 50 years from now, you will be the sum of all the choices that you make every day.
your real friends will still be around.
you will be proud for having created YOUR path, not your parents’, your “friends”’s or society’s.

Dare, fail, apologize

Being authentic can lead from time to time to make mistakes.

Apologize quickly if it’s sincere.

And do better next time.

The cycle starts over, daring again.

Your choice.

You can either tell others what you think and feel —> this is self liberation.

Or choosing to hide, or lie —> becoming the slave of your fears and your ego.

Your life. your choice. ...

4. Compete in a sport.

A mirror.

Competition shows you where you are with:
- your determination
- your confidence
- your ability to deal with pain
- your ability to take decisions
- your focus on the present moment
- your sense of honor

Competition also shows your shadows:
- your fears
- your lack of courage
- finding excuses vs taking responsibility
- cheating, lying and ne manipulating

A life school.
Competition teaches you how to win.
It also teaches you how to lose.
And before anything, to give your best.
To develop the best within you.
