Jocko Underground: There Are No Solutions, Only Trade-Offs.

What is money? It is time. You traded your time for some money at some point. Now, you're just using that money to spend somewhere else. Time is the ultimate thing ... All the money that you have, you had to invest time into.

You're not always going to get what you want; you're only going to get some of what you want. And even to get some of what you want, you're going to have to give up something else. That's the way it works, and people don't want to admit that.

Sometimes, we fail to recognize what the trade-offs are and that we can actually parse them out and figure out what part of the deal you want to keep. What is actually important to you? So that you can keep the things that you care about, and you can let go of the things that you don't really care about.

You don't get to do everything you want to do. You don't; nobody does. You don't get to spend time with your family and focus on work and focus on training and focus on learning and focus on relaxing and learning a new skill; you don't get to focus on everything. It doesn't work that way.

A little quote, the quote is 'There are no solutions, only trade-offs. You try to get the best trade-off you can get. That's all you can hope for.' That is a quote from Thomas Sowell, famous economist.
