Definition: “It”: a meaningful and ambitious goal that takes a lot of time and effort to accomplish “This”: one specific action toward the big goal that you can repeat on a daily basis
Jia - Been a fan since you started your rejection quest - Was inspired by your TED Talk and book to be bold and try more things. I really liked this blog post. It seems written for me, as to many times I have tried to follow steps and gotten frustrated or discouraged at the beginning and never completed what I wanted.
One of my biggest goals is to be a contestant on the CBS show Survivor (or The Amazing Race). I have created and summitted numerous videos over the years, and while I think they are good, I have not had much success. A lot of what I read are steps to do once you get a call back. But since I haven't received a call back yet, these steps don't help me.
Based on this blog post, what would you recommend I set for Sisyphi goals that could help me to produce a winning video. Would something like filming a short video about myself every day be a good start.
I am on the older side (56), but still have the drive, desire, and energy needed for the show. Just need to be able to create a video to sell myself -- One of the tough parts is that the only feedback I can go off is that my earlier videos were not good enough.
Andrew, that’s really interesting about the goal of wanting to be in Survivor. If it’s that meaningful to you, filming/sending one video per day for 30 (or 100) days might be a good strategy.
I liked how you explained it. Great message brother.
Thanks, Samuel!

Any help / ideas / thoughts would be appreciated.
