“If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start.” – Charles Bukowski
Yesterday we shared a recent discussion from our Path community.
It was fun, so let’s do it again.
This time, on:
The wrong way to go all-in…
***
“Going all-in does not mean going all-out, all the time.
All-out all the time is a very inefficient use of energy.
Going all-in means doing whatever is necessary to achieve your goal, which means managing your energy properly:
The same way a basketball player doesn’t sprint 48 minutes every game – he walks, recovers, jogs, and sprints only when needed.
He doesn’t go all-out the whole game because:
1. He’ll gas out.
2. He won’t be nearly as effective as if he’s playing relaxed, at whatever speed and effort the moment calls for.
Apply this to work, creativity, training, business, relationships, and any other goal you’re all-in on.”

I hope that helps.

P.S. Here’s one more community post about going all-in…
“All in means you do it regardless of whether you will “succeed” or not.
I’ve been doing obsessive inner development work for most of my adult life, entirely for free until last year when I began teaching it.
There is no end goal to this path for me, no measurable outcome or result I am chasing.
I do it because I am deeply moved to do it; I have always done it, and likely will always do it, whether or not I get paid to do it, because the goal for me is simply to do it.
The means are the ends.”
