"If you want to make the wrong decision, ask everyone." Naval

We write things down, both to help us remember, and to help us forget.

Reading is how you acquire new knowledge. Reading is how you expand your worldview. Reading is how you spot new opportunities. Reading is how you train your focus. Reading is how you absorb 10 years of experience in 8 hours. When you're bored, pick up a book, not your phone.

The secret is to be useful. Build a valuable skill set, character, product, or service to contribute to society. Value is perception, and if you don't understand psychology, marketing, and sales you will remain a starving artist who thinks they are useful, but aren't.

Aim at something. Discipline yourself. Or suffer the consequence.

2 questions to a better life: Who planted these goals in my head? Am I sure I want to be pursuing them?

"The ideal life would be one where you had a hobby that as a byproduct made you money, you had a hobby that as a byproduct kept you healthy, you had a hobby that as a byproduct made you smarter and more creative." Naval

Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate. Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own. Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society. Make these habits. Say no to everything else. Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media Relax. Victory is assured. Naval

There is a turning point in every young adult’s life. You can either remain a slave to the code written in your head, or you can go through the painful experience of learning it, deconstructing it, and reprogramming it. I promise, you don't want to be like everyone else.

Find Your Ikigai Ikigai is the Japanese concept of your 'reason for being'. Find yours by asking yourself: • What do I love? • What am I good at? • What can I be paid for? • What does the world need?

Take a chance on yourself for once. Ignore society. Ignore your friends. Ignore your parents. They want the best for you, but most of the time, they want what's best for them. If you only do what others approve of, you drastically limit your potential in life.

Opportunity Cost Every choice has a price— what you could have done instead? When using this lens, you can’t afford to sit still. The cost of overthinking and inaction is the life you could have lived. The worst decisions are the ones you never make.

We have a chronic disease epidemic. 93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy, and FOOD is the primary cause and the cure. Yet doctors learn almost nothing about nutrition, the microbiome, or toxins. Until we change this, we’ll keep treating symptoms instead of causes.
