What happens when you combine Ancient Wisdom & Modern Science?

That's what Brian Johnson spent decades studying and teaching. It all comes down to these 8 virtues. These are the key to our flourishing.

Although these are universal, they are a must for Creatorpreneurs (as I'll expand below).

🧠Wisdom - Know The Game We Are Playing, And How To Play It Well.

Knowledge is just a force multiplier of action, but a really powerful one. Invest in courses, books, etc. But, remember to go from theory to practice.

🫡Self-Mastery - Be Committed To Playing The Game Well, Now.

This is the most important of all for Creatorpreneurs. If we want to be successful, then we need to be consistent and patient as fuck. We shall never stop playing the long game.

💪Courage - Be Willing To Act In The Presence Of Fear.

For those who are on this journey, you know this is not easy. You sacrifice a lot of things to pursue your aspirations and walk your path. We need to make the hard choices, today.

💛Love - Be Kind, Generous, and Encouraging.

The truth is, you'll only get that far without truly loving the people you're serving. We live in a (digital) society that rewards value. The more you give, the more you receive.

🧬Zest - Optimize Your Biology & Manage Your Energy

This is the #1 Virtue most highly correlated with our wellbeing. We need a biology that works for us, rather than against us. Energy + Cognitive Performance + Mental Clarity.

🌅Hope - A Better Future + Agency + Pathways

As we engage in the long game, we need to cultivate the ability to:

• see a future that’s better than the present,

• believe in our power to get to it,

• and be willing to explore as many pathways as it takes until we do.

🙏Gratitude - Deep Appreciation For Everyone & Everything

This is how we balance development with acceptance. We get to enjoy our present while pursuing a better future. Science shows that gratitude journaling can boost your happiness by up to 25% (!).

🧪Curiosity - See What's Working & What Needs Work

We need to think of ourselves as scientists conducting experiments. What's the data showing you? What do you enjoy writing about? What do you need to improve?

In fact, let's practice curiosity now. Which virtues are you embodying greatly? Which ones need work?
