It’s not the "12 Rules for Life” by Jordan Peterson but 5 little ones which are very easy to remember but, at the same time, very tough to implement. The 5-steps are:
1.      Setting goals
2.      Finding obstacles and fall down.
3.      Analyzing the roots of the problem which you encounter in.
4.      Create a bunch of solutions for those problems.
5.      Implement those solutions and moving forward.

According to Ray Dalio if you do this, you’ll reach levels of success even higher. And, for him, that’s the key for a happy life.

Also, he says, for you to implement this into your life, you have to be brutally honest with yourself (accepting reality as it is) and with others.

Dream big and determination to accomplish them.

Wouldn’t be great if everybody applies into their lives? I know, more or less, what Kobe did through is life. He’d spent five hours in front of a screen watching the game he already played. In some cases, just hours after he played it. Like you have heard, his determination was something quite out of the ordinary.  Can you imagine the mental toughness to watch the tape of the finals game that he lost just hours after? For me, I don’t think I could to it. I couldn't watch the tape right after the end of the game. I would take a couple of days to be able to it.

Facing the reality as it is and having an extraordinary open mind is something that we’ll continue to work on. That’s what Ray Dalio suggests in the 5-step process of his book. In other words, what he has written is no more than facing reality as it is, plus dream big and determination. Having these 3 ingredients combined together, you’ll have success.

And oh boy, how this person - Kobe and Dalio - had a fulfilling life.

I know a guy that use these principles into his life.

Well start to use… He does not call the 5-step process but he’s facing reality, continues to dream and continues to have big determination. Not the reality his faced for the last 47 years, but the one his now facing in his life, right now.

His name is… me!
