Deep dives
The Surfer Mentality
The Surfer mentality emphasizes enjoying the present moment and understanding that there will always be more opportunities. It highlights the importance of patience, proper positioning, and taking action, as well as the need to put yourself out there to catch the waves of life.
The Four Types of Luck
There are four types of luck: blind luck, luck from motion, luck from awareness, and luck from uniqueness. Blind luck is out of our control, while luck from motion, awareness, and uniqueness can be influenced by our actions and mindset. The 'luck razor' advises choosing paths that offer a larger surface area for luck to occur.
The Parable of the Two Arrows
The Parable of the Two Arrows teaches that in life, we will inevitably experience negative events (the first arrow). However, our reaction and response to those events (the second arrow) are optional. By choosing a balanced response and creating space between stimulus and response, we can avoid causing unnecessary pain and suffering.
