Learning to Love Yourself

"Don’t chase success. Chase excellence, and success will follow."

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The idea of "following your passion" can be misleading and even harmful.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Most people don’t start with a clear passion but develop it over time through experience and skill.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Focus on becoming excellent at what you do, and passion will follow.</li></ul>

1. Passion is Overrated

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Passion Mindset: Focuses on what the world can offer you.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Craftsman Mindset: Focuses on what you can offer the world by honing your skills.</li></ul>Newport argues that adopting a craftsman mindset leads to greater career satisfaction and success.

2. The Craftsman Mindset vs. The Passion Mindset

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Career capital is made up of rare and valuable skills that set you apart.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Mastering difficult, in-demand skills gives you leverage to shape your career.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Continuous learning and deliberate practice are essential to acquiring career capital.</li></ul>

3. Build Career Capital

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Gaining control over your work (like flexibility and autonomy) is a key driver of satisfaction.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">You can only gain control if you’ve built enough career capital to justify it.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Trying to take control too early without proving your value can backfire.</li></ul>

4. Control Comes With Value

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do."

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Developing a mission or purpose for your work is powerful but requires deep expertise in your field.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Missions often emerge after reaching mastery and seeing unique opportunities that others can’t.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Experimenting and exploring within your field helps refine your mission.</li></ul>

5. Mission Requires Mastery

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Focus on doing the hard, uncomfortable work that pushes your limits.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Seek feedback to improve continuously and grow your skill set.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Deliberate practice separates amateurs from professionals.</li></ul>

6. Embrace Deliberate Practice

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Instead of making bold, risky career moves, test small ideas and refine them.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Small bets allow you to identify what works and adapt without major risks.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Use feedback from these experiments to guide your next steps.</li></ul>

7. Small Bets Lead to Big Wins

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">The passion trap is when you expect your job to immediately fulfill all your desires.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Jobs become meaningful when you’re good at them and contribute something valuable.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Focus on creating value, and passion will naturally follow.</li></ul>

8. Don’t Fall Into the Passion Trap

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Excellence is the ultimate differentiator in any field.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">When you become exceptional at what you do, opportunities and satisfaction naturally follow.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">This approach makes you indispensable and gives you control over your career.</li></ul>

9. Be So Good They Can’t Ignore You

"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out."

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Don’t chase passion; build it by mastering valuable skills.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">Focus on hard work, continuous improvement, and offering value to create a fulfilling career.</li></ul>

Master skills, build value, and let passion follow!

In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.

So Good They Can't Ignore You

I held my swords with my weak, frail hands, trembling under the weight of my fear. Afraid it would fall, I gripped it tighter—so tight my bones ached, my strength barely enough to keep me upright.

I stared into my enemy's eyes, deeper, unblinking. Fury erupted like a storm in my chest, but it was chained—balanced—by the cold fire of my detachment. Madness burned alongside it, hidden behind the mask of a calm, stoic face.

Even the blind could read the truth etched into my expression:"I’m going to kill you, no matter the cost. No one, nothing, will stand in my way—everything in my path will be cut down!"

And yet, a bitter curse clawed its way from within. My hatred festered as I realized a simple, damning truth:The enemy I despise is also growing stronger.

It evolves with me—crafting new tricks, setting new traps. It cloaks itself in soothing lies, disguising its venom as salvation. Its weapons aren't swords or shields but illusions that feed my pain and offer sweet poison.

What could be more terrifying?The strongest enemy isn’t one that’s simply cruel or relentless—it’s the one within. The one who knows me too well. The one that whispers my secrets to the void, exposes my flaws, drags my insecurities into the light. It knows exactly where to strike, exactly how to wound me so I fall apart.

But it isn’t satisfied with just killing me. No. It craves my despair. It feeds on my suffering. It revels in my misery. It laughs as I cower in fear, mockingly replaying my failures, drowning me in the agony of regret.

I feel terror creep into my soul."How? How? HOW?""How do I win against this shadow? Against this monster that grows stronger every time I do?"

The answer feels far, yet clear. Strength.Strength trumps all.With strength, the weak crumble, and quiver in fear. The world bows to those who wield power.But even strength will fail unless wielded with utter ruthlessness

To win, I must become more than just strong—I must become ruthless. I must rip myself apart if that’s what it takes to carve out victory.Sacrifice. Self-mutilation. Whatever it costs.

Because this is my kingdom.This is my world.I AM THE GOD HERE.

How dare you, shadow?How dare you think you can chain me?How dare you humiliate me?How dare you EXIST to oppose my will?! Arghhhh!!!

"How? How? HOW?"

"How do I win against this shadow? Against this monster that grows stronger every time I do?"

Understand yourself and those around you.

The Tyrant Shadow 

There’s this feeling many of us wrestle with, and it’s something that can often go unnoticed, but it’s so real. We have this deep urge to express everything inside of us—the thoughts, the emotions, the things we can’t always put into words—but we get stuck. We sit with all of it in our heads, feeling like it’s too big or too complicated to share. And it’s frustrating, because we know there’s something there, but it’s hard to find a way to bring it out.

Unspoken

Then we look around and see people who seem to do it effortlessly—expressing themselves, connecting with others, sharing what they feel without hesitation. And we wonder: How do they do that? Why does it seem so easy for them? It’s easy to compare ourselves and feel like we’re somehow falling short. We start to doubt our ability to communicate, to connect, and that insecurity starts to creep in.

Doubt

But lately, we’ve been thinking—maybe there’s something powerful about this. Maybe the fact that we’re so full of emotion, so wrapped up in our thoughts, is a sign that something meaningful is waiting to come out. It’s in those quiet moments, when we can’t quite put our feelings into words, that something real is taking shape. We might feel lost in our thoughts, but it’s in that space where creativity is born. It’s in that silence that our emotions are building into something deeper, something that will eventually find its voice.

Hidden Strength

The truth is, that struggle to express ourselves is part of the process. It’s not a weakness—it’s just where we are right now. And maybe, just maybe, the more we sit with it, the more our feelings will turn into something we can share, in our own time, in our own way. The moments of uncertainty aren’t wasted. They’re where everything begins, even if we can’t see it yet.So maybe it’s okay to be in that place of not knowing. It doesn’t mean we’re not capable of expressing ourselves. It just means we’re in the middle of something, and when the time is right, it will come.

Where Growth Begins

We carry a quiet struggle, yearning to express what stirs within, yet find ourselves lost in the silence. In this stillness, something meaningful is quietly taking shape, waiting for the right moment to be spoken.

The Weight of Expression 

"Every event has a reason, and every adversity teaches us a lesson. I’ve learned that failure, whether personal, professional, or even spiritual, is necessary for personal expansion. It brings inner growth and countless psychic rewards. Never regret your past. Accept it as the teacher that it is." p. 22

Embrace Failure as a Teacher

"But I’ve learned that self-control and taking care of one’s mind, body, and soul are essential to finding one’s higher self and living the life of our dreams. How can you take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself? How can you do good if you don’t even feel good? I can’t love if I don’t know how to love myself." p. 35

Self-Care as the Foundation of Love and Success

"Only when you master the art of loving yourself can you truly love others. Only by opening your heart can you reach the hearts of others. When you feel centered and truly alive, you’ll be in a good position to become a better person." p. 40

Self-Love as the Key to Loving Others

"Almost all of us have the same raw materials since we took our first breath; what separates those who achieve more or are happier is how they use and refine those materials. When you commit to transforming your inner world, your life quickly moves from the realm of the ordinary to the extraordinary." p. 44

Transforming Your Inner World

"There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no negative experience, only opportunities to seize in order to progress on the path of self-mastery. Strength emerges from struggle. Even pain can be a great teacher." p. 49

Lessons In Every Experience

"It's a good way to look at it. No matter what happens in life, you have the ability to choose your reaction. When you make it a habit to seek the positive in every circumstance, your life will rise to its higher dimensions. It's one of the most important natural laws." p. 50

The Power Of Choosing Your Reaction

"...don’t judge events as positive or negative. Simply experience them, celebrate them, and learn from them. There is a lesson to be learned in everything." p. 50

Learn from Everything

"To overcome pain, you must first experience it." p. 50

Overcoming Pain

"Most people have brought out the best in themselves through the most challenging and suggestive experiences." p. 50

Growth Through Struggle

"Jonas Salk said it best when he wrote: 'I have had dreams and I have had nightmares. I overcame my nightmares thanks to my dreams.' Dare to dust off your dreams, John. Start loving again." p. 52

Dreams Overcoming Nightmares

"...words are the verbal embodiment of power." p. 52

Words as Power

"The mind is a magnificent servant but a terrible master. If you only think negative things, it’s because you haven’t cared for your mind and haven’t dedicated the necessary time to train it to think positively." p. 53

The Mind

"All lasting change requires time and effort. Perseverance is the mother of personal change." p. 54

Perseverance As The Mother

"The fact that you have a desire or a dream means that you possess the ability to make it happen." p. 55

The Power of Desire

"My friend, saying that you don’t have time to improve your thoughts is like saying you don’t have time to refuel because you’re too busy driving." p. 60

The Importance of Refueling

"When you learn to focus your thoughts on the present, your energy will be limitless, regardless of the time on the clock." p. 69

Present Focus

"Tonight, I will open my heart and reveal everything I know, for it is my duty to do so. I just want to make sure you understand how important it is that you pass this wisdom to all those seeking guidance. We live in a troubled world. Negativity invades everything, and in our society, many people float like rudderless ships, tired souls in search of a lighthouse to keep them from crashing against the rocks of the shore. You must act as the captain." p. 72

Be the Captain of Your Life

"...the true source of happiness can be summed up in one word: fulfillment. Lasting happiness is achieved by consistently working towards your goals and moving in the direction you've set." p. 73

The True Source of Happiness

"...it's impossible to hit a target you cannot see. People spend their lives dreaming of being happier, living with more vitality, and having abundance of passion and dynamism. But they fail to see the importance of investing even just ten minutes a month to write down their goals and reflect on the meaning of their lives, their dharma. Setting goals will radically change your life. Your world will become fuller, more enjoyable, and more magical.". p. 77

Set You

"My advice is this: never do anything because you have to. The only reason to do something is because you want to and because you know it is the right thing to do." p. 84

A Technique for Producing Ideas

Goggins introduces the "Accountability Mirror" as a tool to confront your truths. Write down your weaknesses and goals on sticky notes, place them on your mirror, and commit to improving every day.

The Accountability Mirror

Just as you build calluses on your hands through hard work, you must "callous" your mind by facing adversity head-on. Embrace discomfort, pain, and failure—they’re necessary for growth and mental toughness.

Callous Your Mind 🧠

When you think you're done, you’re really only at 40% of your potential. Goggins explains that your mind limits you long before your body does. Push past that mental barrier to unlock your true capacity.

Embrace the 40% Rule 🔥

Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Goggins turned his childhood trauma, obesity, and failures into stepping stones toward resilience and strength. Use adversity to fuel your transformation.

Turn Your Struggles Into Strengths 💎

Stop blaming others or circumstances for where you are. Take 100% responsibility for your actions, choices, and outcomes. True power lies in controlling what you can and letting go of excuses.

Take Ownership of Your Life 🔑

Don’t settle for being average or even good. Strive to be exceptional, even in elite environments. Challenge yourself to constantly grow and outperform even the best.

Build an “Uncommon Amongst the Uncommon” Mindset 🥇

Aim for goals that seem out of reach, like running an ultramarathon or breaking records. The pursuit of these goals will force you to grow, even if you don’t achieve them right away.

Set “Impossible” Goals 🎯

Pain is temporary, but the lessons it teaches are permanent. Learn to thrive in uncomfortable situations and channel your pain into something meaningful, like discipline, focus, or growth.

Use Pain as Fuel 🔥

Goggins emphasizes visualization and mental rehearsal as tools to prepare for challenges. See yourself succeeding before you start, and your mind will help you push through obstacles.

Mental Rehearsal is Key 🧘

Your environment matters. Surround yourself with people who challenge you, inspire you, and push you to be better. Cut out those who hold you back or discourage growth.

Surround Yourself with Growth-Minded People 🤝

Learn how to overcome adversity, build an unbreakable mindset, and push beyond your limits with lessons from Navy SEAL David Goggins’ incredible journey.

New York Times Bestseller Over 2.5 million copies sold For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America. In this curse-word-free edition of Can't Hurt Me, he shares his astonishing life story and reveals that most of us tap into only 40% of our capabilities. Goggins calls this The 40% Rule, and his story illuminates a path that anyone can follow to push past pain, demolish fear, and reach their full potential.
