Honest Opinion: Traditional job feels safer only because when you suck at it, people will cheer you on. No one picks you up when you fail at your own thing. No one says “You’ll get better and make it work”. That’s the only real risk—not failure, but lack of external assurance.

My motivation comes not from believing I’ll win, but from knowing I won’t be able to stop even if I fail. People underestimate how far desire to figure shit out can take you.

Sleep Paradox I recently observed: Wake up the moment your eyes open = groggy for 1 hour, then incredible all day. Sleep in = cozy for 1 hour, then sluggish all day. Embrace the groggy hour. Use it to get ready. You’ll have consistent productive days.

Unpopular opinion: Stop obsessing over “life-changing” habits. Get clear on how you want to live—and the 3–5 high-leverage actions that move you closer to it. Your habits will align with your vision & pursuit.

Repeat: Quitting ain't a part of my journey. Winning is.

Study human nature. Study what brings you joy. Study what you fear. Study what pulls you down. Study what drives you. Study what stresses you. Study what makes you focused. Success is simple. Your mind is complex. The better you understand it, the easier it's to make progress.

Make it a habit to pick a problem you want to fix, go on a long walk, and let your mind flow freely. I guarantee you’ll come back with a plan of action & the desire to follow through.

Most people live mediocre lives not because they fail but rather because, in their 20s, they dismissed the idea that they could live better lives.

Destroy your instinct to optimize for ease. Wake up when you want to sleep in. Do a little work before scrolling through your phone. You don't need to enter monk mode at once. But you do need to break that comfort every day or it'll break your dreams & happiness.

I don't believe in positive thinking. I believe in not thinking at all. Fuck the thoughts. Stay focused on the next step. If the terrible consequences want to happen, they will happen. You should keep persisting.

The worst thing that can happen in your life is not all the bad things that will inevitably occur, but your unwillingness to accept life's unfairness, climb out of your self-pity, & persevere.

Every time I am feeling uncertain and fearful about the future, I like to narrow down my focus on what's the next step. The moment you take that first step and start to move towards the future, the fear begins to fade away.

True gratitude is making the most of what you have, not making a list in your journal.

Friendly reminder: Every time you procrastinate, you're fooling yourself into believing you'll be disciplined later when you don't have the discipline now. You won't have discipline ever. You have to build it now.

I am convinced that spending more time with yourself is key to many of your problems. Quitting habits becomes easier—you get comfortable sitting without constant stimulation. You get pulled towards your curiosities which lead to success. You achieve strong clarity, calmness, and
