Quote of the Week

I will either find a way or make one. - Hannibal

Matt's Note: My favorite "high agency" quote.

This Week's Featured Zorga Principle

Zorga Principle #1: Own your life completely

Take 100% responsibility for everything in your life. Stop blaming the government, your boss, your parents, or bad luck. None of those things are going to change your situation—you are. The moment you take ownership is the moment you start to see options and choices you didn’t see before. This is the foundational “switch” that turns you from the character to the author of your life. You are now in control. When you do that, you stop waiting for someone to rescue you and you start making choices that move you forward. All the other principles flow from this.

Optimization Tip of the Week

As millions can attest, the mind can not only be controlled, it can be trained to make dramatic improvements on the quality of your life and thinking. Someone who masters their mind will not only get what they want out of life, they’ll do it in a more relaxed, calm, clear-thinking way that will make accomplishing their goals as natural as walking. Basically you can install a mental operating system. Zorga has a complete Mindset Optimization lesson which many students say is one of the best in the course.

This Week's Question

What did you do to move towards your vision in life this week?

Zorga Recommended Product

Adapt Naturals Multivitamin

Matt's Note: As I talk about a lot in Zorga, our soil and thus our food (including animals) is depleted of many vitamins and minerals, causing many downstream problems that simply correcting with supplementation will solve (mood, energy, brain fog, even depression). This particular multivitamin is the best I've found and use (also you don't need to take the full 4 pill dose, start with 1 and see how you fee, which makes this a much cheaper purchase too).
