We all spend energy.

That guy stressing over rent.
That founder stressing over churn.
That kid over his grades.
That CEO over a billion-dollar acquisition.

Different problems.
Same energy.

Everyone’s burning fuel.
But what’s it aimed at?

Some people are playing whack-a-mole with life.
Fixing one leak while another pops.
Solving today’s drama while tomorrow loads in the background.

While a select few?

They’re spending the same hours.
But on higher ground.

Fixing distribution.
Debugging business models.
Scaling insight.

Same energy, better terrain.

It’s not hard work that separates people.
It’s where the hard work goes.

Because life isn’t a grind problem.
It’s a sorting problem.

Sort badly, and you waste yourself.
Sort well, and you compound.

You see this everywhere.

In chess, the best player doesn’t try all the moves.
There are millions of legal options.

They don’t care.

They just ask:
What’s the best move right now?
Just now.

That’s enough.

The right move,
from the right sort,
played repeatedly?

That’s what wins tournaments.

And life’s the same.

You don’t need perfect plans.
You need a good sorting algorithm.
One that ranks options by leverage.
By feedback.
By future payoff.

In NASCAR races you are surrounded by cars and a wall.
Everything moves at light speed and you still have to get ahead without crashing.

So NASCAR drivers don’t stare at walls.
They stare at the gap between the opponent cars.
Because the car goes where the eyes go.

You can’t focus on the obstacle and find the path.
Doesn’t work that way.

Same with money.
Same with progress.
Same with building anything real.

You don’t escape problems by thinking harder about the problem.
You escape by finding a better move.
And making it.

That’s what the best do.
That’s what chess engines do.
That’s what you can do.

Mentors help with that.
Not by giving you answers.
But by showing you when your sort is broken.
When you’re optimizing the wrong thing.
When you’re playing inside the wrong game.

Fix your sort.
Then move.

That’s how you change your life.
Not with more effort.

With better priority.

And one clean, clever move at a time.

You don’t need more energy.

You need better output per calorie.

And emergence makes infinite output per calorie possible.

Make your sorting algo such that you generate alot of convex volume.

Build leverage so that you can do more of it more easily.

Pushing 50 tons with a push of a button.
