In <em>Relentless<\/em>, Tim Grover discusses the two main qualities that you need to be unstoppable: the need to succeed and the ability to direct your instincts. Within those two qualities are six strategies to help you along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to be unstoppable in life, according to Grover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-unstoppable-need-to-succeed\"><strong>The Unstoppable Need to Succeed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To know how to be unstoppable in life, you have to be consistently relentless, according to Grover. We\u2019ll start by defining the need to succeed through three different principles that support this quality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/never-stop-improving\/\">Never stop improving<\/a><\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Put intense pressure on yourself&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Use any means necessary<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-never-stop-improving\">1. Never Stop Improving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover says that constantly seeking improvement is a crucial part of doing everything you can to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/steps-to-achieve-your-goals\/\">achieve your goals<\/a>, and therefore is crucial for acting relentlessly. In addition, by constantly pushing as hard as you can to improve<strong>, <\/strong>you\u2019ll<strong> better understand what you\u2019re capable of and how you can use those capabilities <\/strong>to succeed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover recommends three methods that will help you commit to constant improvement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Don\u2019t define what\u2019s impossible<\/li><li>Never settle for \u201cgood enough\u201d<\/li><li>Surround yourself with relentlessness<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Put Intense Pressure on Yourself<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover\u2019s second principle for developing the unstoppable need to succeed in life is <strong>constantly putting intense pressure on yourself<\/strong>.<strong> <\/strong>Grover agrees with the commonly observed phenomenon that <strong>people perform better under pressure, <\/strong>and that being under pressure<strong> <\/strong>forces you to find ways to rise to whatever challenge you\u2019re facing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Constant pressure<strong> <\/strong>allows you to<strong> <\/strong>avoid the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-overcome-fear-of-failure\/\">fear of failure<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/overcoming-self-doubt\/\">self-doubt<\/a><strong> <\/strong>in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Constantly putting yourself under pressure gives you lots of practice managing the fear and stress that comes with it, so you\u2019ll improve at managing these feelings.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li><li>Internal pressure makes <em>external<\/em> pressure easier to handle. Others depending on you or having high expectations of you won\u2019t cause fear or panic because <strong>the pressure they put on you can\u2019t be any more intense than the pressure you put on yourself.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Use Any Means Necessary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-push-yourself\/\">Pushing yourself<\/a> hard to improve and pressuring yourself are two essential principles to satisfying your need to succeed. However, to get the most out of these principles, Grover argues that you must follow the third principle behind the unstoppable need to succeed: seeking success by any means necessary.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover argues three principles are crucial for following the principle of using any means necessary to succeed: make sacrifices, accept discomfort, and ignore judgments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Unstoppable Direct Their Instincts&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve just explored the first main quality to learn how to be unstoppable in life, the need to succeed, and discussed how you can productively fulfill this need. Now, we\u2019ll explore Grover\u2019s second unstoppable quality: the ability to direct your instincts\u2014that is, the ability to use your natural animal instincts to accomplish the complex goals required by your field or discipline.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we\u2019ll examine three areas Grover says to direct your instincts\u2014knowledge, emotions, and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/primal-self\/\">primal self<\/a> as well as how doing so will help you become unstoppable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Instinctively Using Knowledge<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Acting on instinct, argues Grover, means acting without consciously thinking\u2014this allows you to better use knowledge of your discipline because you can just <em>act <\/em>on your knowledge without having to think about the best way to use it. Thinking opens you up to self-doubt and fear, damaging your confidence and, as a result, your ability to be relentless. On the other hand, by directing your instinct to use your knowledge automatically, you\u2019ll be able to act immediately with no distractions or self-doubts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/whats-holding-you-back\/\">holding you back<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Instinctively Controlling Emotions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover explains that acting on instinct also helps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/control-your-emotions\/\">control your emotions<\/a> when you&#8217;re aiming to be unstoppable. This is crucial for consistent relentlessness because as we\u2019ve discussed, strong emotions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/fear-of-uncertainty\/\">fear and uncertainty<\/a> can cause you to freeze up or doubt yourself\u2014preventing you from acting relentlessly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover explains that acting instinctively helps you control your emotions because it activates <strong>intense focus:<\/strong> <strong>a state of mind where you block out all emotions except for focused, determined anger. <\/strong>Acting instinctively activates intense focus because you\u2019re acting without conscious thought\u2014you don\u2019t have time to let in distractions or emotions other than determined anger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Access Your Primal Self<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, to be unstoppable in life Grover declares that you must access your primal self: <strong>the person you are when acting entirely through instinct. <\/strong>Directing your instincts <em>productively<\/em> is the foundation for this step because it ensures you\u2019ll still relentlessly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/pursue-your-goals\/\">pursue your goals<\/a> even when acting impulsively.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grover explains that to access your primal self, you must indulge primal desires: things you impulsively want, but keep secret because society tells you to (like sex, drugs, or gambling). Indulging primal desires allows you to practice accessing your primal self even when relaxing, making it easier to access when seeking success in your field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to be unstoppable in life?
