God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.”
Romans 8:27
Wanna win in life? Understand this truth: nice guys finish first.
I'm not worried about people's opinions because I know how good my intent is. When you're a nice guy or gal, you don't have to think.... but if you're portraying a nice guy or gal, and you're not... you have to maneuver.
Maneuvering is heavy and slow. Authenticity is light, and fast.
When you understand this .. you will become much happier and have less negative energy towards others which will lead to a much happier world.
If you’re happy, if you’re doing well, listen up: it’s on us to help others.
It’s our responsibility to lift up those around us who may have gotten a tougher hand or who may struggle with anxiety or other things that could be in their way.
If things are good for you, share that with others. Spread love and positivity 💚
When asked: What’s your KPI? What’s your ROI? What are you trying to achieve?
I say: I am trying to maximize joy.
If I wanted to maximize money, someone’s argument of, “You should prioritize,” would hold more weight with me. If I put 100% into VaynerMedia, would I financially do better than spreading it out? The answer is, there is a path for me to believe that.
That is just not what I’m trying to achieve.
I want to wake up tomorrow morning and be excited. And what excites me is doing a lot of things. I do not want one thing because I want to enjoy myself.
I would build businesses if it was free. It’s my joy. I build companies the way people like to go golfing and cooking and watching movies. It’s more fun to me.
One day, we will leave this world and perhaps journey to somewhere beyond. Until that day comes, we gotta live our lives with purpose and make memories that outlive you.
In Aviation,during bad weather Pilots are trained to look at instruments and focus on them. No noise, turbulence or instability should distract you. In Life God is the instrument, turbulence is the problems / noise you must face as a man. So keep flying, weather huisha.
The guy who wakes up at 10am and goes straight to his laptop...
Will go further than the guy who wakes up at 6am, journals, meditates, and does everything except the actual WORK.
Don't get caught in the self improvement trap without actually moving the needle.
In 2008 Elon Musk was broke, in debt, and going through a divorce. He had invested everything into Tesla and SpaceX, both close to collapse after failed launches. He didn’t quit. Years later Tesla became huge and SpaceX a leader in space. Keep pushing.
