This is the coldest life advice you’ll hear

Grandpa was a smart guy :)

Life punishes the vague wish and rewards the specific ask. After all, conscious thinking is largely asking and answering questions in your own head. If you want confusion and heartache, ask vague questions. If you want uncommon clarity and results, ask uncommonly clear questions.

Your competition isn’t someone else. Your competition is your consistency — every single day.

In the story economy, the currency isn’t dollars or euros but attention, belief and the ability to make people see themselves as part of something.

Advice I'd give younger self: Don't aim for happiness, peace or success. Aim for aliveness. Make decisions based on what makes you feel the most alive behind your eyes. And if you achieve aliveness regularly, common side effects include happiness, peace and success.

Dear Self. Dear self, You didn’t fold when you could’ve. You didn’t quit when no one was watching. You kept showing up. You kept choosing alignment over applause. I’m proud of you. Not for being perfect- but for staying in the fire long enough to become it. — The Master Builder

🔥 Are you able to create animated email signatures? Let’s talk if so!

A wise mentor once told me: “Before you play the game, study the winners. If you don’t want their life, don’t play their game.”

You should come out of the gate strong. Most people dance around for years, they hold back, and operate very cautiously... But why not give it all you've got? You will move fast, die fast, or learn fast.

Get to the point where it gets hard. Then keep going. That's all you must do. The difference between winners and losers is simply persistence. You can't lose if you refuse to quit.

Become obsessed with speed. Act faster. Move faster. Work hard faster. Fail and retry faster. Make decisions faster. Live so fast that you live multiple lives.
