Tell HN: Make Something You Want
With all the YC founders and self-help noise on the web, I’ve noticed we don’t do what we want.<p>And no, I don’t mean self-indulgence. That’s making something that you crave. Wanting is the inner voice that you want to call “you” that tells you “wake up early” or “finish that project” or “ask her out”; craving is who you blame after regret is part of your present.<p>Willpower is your skill to bring your true self into this world.<p>And it’s ok if you’re weak—as long as you do something about it.<p>Regarding how, I’ve found is the same as with physical power: train, eat, and sleep; there’s no shortcuts.
