Worrying about not being a good enough parent is a self-fulfilling prophecy as anxiety gets infused in your child. Forget about parenting, strive to be the best person you can be, you will naturally be able to show your kids the right direction and inspire them to move forward.

If you don’t understand the value of a healthy lifestyle, your goals are not ambitious enough, otherwise you would understand the necessity of becoming the most high-energy and mentally clear version of yourself.

One of the most important things you can do for your family is to simply take proper care of your physical and mental health. If you can just be the high-energy, mentally clear, calm, supportive, joyful version of yourself, you are already providing a lot of value every day.

my date after asking me about the craziest thing I’ve seen at work

[Noah Ryan @NoahRyanCo]

ADHD isn't a disorder, its a neurological type.

The same wiring that makes you distractible and hyperactive in todays world made you an elite hunter-gather

- Hypervigilant: Constantly scanning the environment for threats
- Impulsive: Quick decision-making for hunting & survival
- Hyperactivity: Necessary for long hunts and physical demands of nomadic life.
- Hyperfocus: Ability to concentrate intensely on immediate, interesting tasks (like hunting)

These "ADHD" genes were positively selected for until farming & peasantry became the societal norm.

"ADHD" went from being an elite advantage to a maladaptive trait. Hunter's mind, farmers world.

Modern life is a nightmare for somebody hardwired to hunt & gather:

- Sitting in a classroom for 14 years straight
- Sitting behind a computer doing repetitive tasks
- Constantly bombarded with artificial stimuli
- Overwhelmed by Information overload

The monkey that thrives in the circus has the opposite traits of the monkey that thrives in the wild. Its like putting a shark in an aquarium and wondering why it doesn't survive.

If you label yourself as disordered you’ll never ascend that label. Understand how your brain works and create a life that compliments those unique traits.

Some of the most successful & extravagant people in the world have ADHD and thats not by accident

The solution isn't amphetamines. Its reinventing your life to play games you're uniquely suited to play

If you refuse to maintain a proper diet, proper training, proper self-discipline, and an absolute focus on your long-term vision and goals, you are disrespecting yourself, and you are extremely arrogant to believe that you can achieve exceptional results without paying the price.

You’d be amazed at how far you can get in a negotiation by simply making people feel like you understand them—even if you don’t agree with a word they said.

“If you’re not being criticized, you’re not pushing hard enough.

Once you accept that criticism is a byproduct of success, you won’t feel the need to defend yourself or react to your critics.”

The goal isn’t money; the goal is to live a thrilling adventure that you’re going to enjoy anyway, and potentially get rich accidentally during the process.

It actually happens more often than most people think.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

Many smart people think they can learn everything from books, studies, and their own imagination to fill the gaps, when actually, the most important life lessons can only be learned through experience and painful trials and errors, that’s why it’s so common to see these smart people get depressed, as their expectations don’t match the reality at all.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

A key to steady progress is prioritizing goals over moods.

Whether you aim to get in shape, learn the guitar, or write a book, the question is not whether you feel like it today. It's who you want to become tomorrow.

Enthusiasm fluctuates. Consistent action accumulates.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

If you really want to do it, you will find good reasons to work harder, if you don't really want to do it, you will find good reasons to give up, it's your life, you are free.
