Seven life ‘shortcuts’ that actually work

Alex Mathers

There are no shortcuts in life.

This is true, but really it isn’t.

What am I talking about?

So you’re saying there are shortcuts?

Yes, I am.

How?

Because most people do things like most other people.

By simply doing the things most people don’t do, you’re taking a shortcut around the experiences suffered by many.

You aren’t most people, and you can realise this through your actions.

Here’s what I mean…

Ask for help at the top.

Very few people dare to ask for help, ideas or support, let alone ask people higher up the top of ‘the ladder.’

Making bold asks, whether it’s for mentorship, asking for a job or simply to make a connection with someone a little out of your league, may frequently be met with rejection.

But that doesn’t mean you won’t occasionally get what you ask for.

When you do, you’ll be propelled.

Be more consistent than most.

Most people try things, experience a sense of loss or perceived failure, and then want to try something new.
