I was listening to Pomp’s podcast when he said to the guest that the question he starts asking new people he meets is, “What are you optimizing for?”
From the moment I heard him saying this, the question stuck with me. At first, I thought, what a stupid question. I could quickly answer it. But then I figured out I couldn’t. It has been almost two years since I have been trying to find the right answer, and today, I finally got it.
I am optimizing for rising contributing members of society - a healthy people with the right mindset and brilliant character.
Simply put, all I do in my life is prepare to be a better parent.
Learning how to communicate with your inner child, with your partner, and with your employees will prepare you to communciate with your kids.
Why am I learning how to self-regulate and heal?
So I can ensure my kids can survive by the time they are old enough to care for themselves.
Why am I learning to build a strong work culture?
So I can build a strong family culture.
Why am I dedicated to self-improvement and hard work?
So I can be a present parent for my kids when they arrive.
Why am I improving my critical thinking skills, updating my principles, and learning the rules of the games?
So I can instill solid values and mental principles into my kids so they can be great human beings one day and pass that knowledge to future generations.
I have optimized all my life to be the best partner.
I have optimized all my life to be the best parent.
Everything we do is to extend our race.
To raise a conscious human being.
Thank you, God, for all you do.
Eternally grateful,
Angela
