[Dr. Brian Hoeflinger, MD @drhoeflinger]

I’m a retired brain surgeon and I wanna tell you why you feel like life is passing by. I just need one minute to explain this to you so hang in there.

Repetitive daily routines stop the brain from recording clear detailed memories. When every day looks the same, your brain does not track time the same as a clock does. It tracks change. If nothing new happens then days, months, and years start to blur together.

This is know as Time compression. When life lacks variety, your brain compresses past days together, making it feel like time is sped up.

To stop feeling like life is passing you by, add new experiences to your life. Break routine habits, like changing your daily home routine, taking a different route to work, or trying a new hobby.

Schedule small trips or plan new adventures so your days do not blend together.

Practice mindfulness by staying fully focused on what you are doing right now and not trying to race off to the next task.

Keep a journal and write down happy memories or memorable parts of the day before you go to sleep.

Take deep, calm breaths when you feel anxious or rushed to return your focus to the moment.

You can and you will retrain your brain to not feel like life is passing you by by following these few simple measures.

Imagine explaining to the average person that writing things down as if they've already happened can change your whole life

[Carl Jung Archive @QuoteJung]

What a quote from Carl Jung:

"What is to come will be created in you and from you. Hence look into yourself. Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive you and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you."

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Intelligent people live a boring life. They go to bed at 10. Wake up at 6. Eat simple foods. Go for long walks. Read thick books. Say no to things that drain them. The world chases excitement. But they chase calm. Things that align with their soul. A calm routine. A quiet mind. A healthy body. Meaningful work. A small circle. A private life. Their life may look boring from the outside. But from the inside, they experience a kind of freedom most people spend their entire lives searching for.

Grok Bot is the best AI agent right now

It gives you an army of agents that can do work for you 24/7

If you set it up correctly, you gain super powers

In this article, I cover setting up Grok Bot, use cases, plugins and what makes Grok Bot so good https://t.co/4gzbtLmVbr

[Lazy Canadian Entrepreneur @JimChuong]

I know it sounds simple.

But if you:
- Drive a paid off car
- Max out TFSA and RRSP every year
- Don’t pay more than 3x household income for your primary residence

This is more than enough to become a multi-millionaire.

[Lazy Canadian Entrepreneur @JimChuong]

I'm Canadian and only wanted U.S. investments.

RRSP foreign content limit was...
• 20% early 90s
• 25% in 1994
• 30% in 2001
• eliminated in 2005

100% U.S. ever since.

Having U.S. investments & U.S. dollars, while living in Canada & spending Canadian dollars is freedom.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

A kid’s tantrum is often the proof you just set a real boundary.

Dr. Becky Kennedy is clear on this. When you hold a true limit for the first time, the reaction is almost always the same: big feelings. Parents usually read that explosion as failure. It is frequently the opposite. The tantrum means the boundary landed. You did the hard part.

Once you see the upset as confirmation instead of catastrophe, you stop scrambling to undo it. You can validate the feeling and still keep the line. “I know you want more TV. It’s still not happening.”

The parents who last are the ones who stop treating every meltdown as a referendum on their worth.

[Steve Saretsky @SteveSaretsky]

Seven figure TFSA’s is pretty wild. Kudos

[Camus @newstart_2024]

The more you optimize for happiness in childhood, the more you actually wire for anxiety in adulthood.

Dr. Becky Kennedy is right. Every time we rush to fix a kid’s upset, new toy, new plan, new distraction, we teach them hard feelings are emergencies that must end immediately. By adulthood the nervous system only knows two settings: full-on distress or full-off. No dimmer switch left.

That gap turns ordinary disappointment into panic. The feeling itself becomes the threat because it was never allowed to stay long enough to become familiar.

I want kids to know the dark is survivable, that they don’t have to scramble for the light the second it appears. That’s how the resilience muscle actually grows.

[Darshak Rana ⚡️ @thedarshakrana]

You think you're unhappy because life is hard.

Wrong.

You're unhappy because you're still operating at infant-level selfishness with adult-level expectations.

Happiness can't be found in gratitude journals or positive thinking.

If you understand the INVERSE relationship between your talent stack and your need to be selfish, you'll find happiness.

When you're born, you're 100% selfish, 0% capable. Perfect equilibrium. Society expects nothing from you.

They age chronologically but not competency-wise. They hit 30, 40, 50...still operating from scarcity, still locked in survival mode, still taking more than they give.

The stress you feelis the cognitive dissonance between where you ARE (high selfishness, low talent) and where you SHOULD BE on the developmental curve.

Your path to meaning is mathematical:

Accumulate talents → Eliminate personal scarcity → Reduce selfish need → Turn outward → Experience meaning

Every moment you stay below the curve...high selfishness, low capability....you're in psychological debt. The interest compounds as stress, anxiety, emptiness.

The solution is to BUILD POWER through talent acquisition until selfishness becomes *optional*, not necessary.

Only then does happiness become accessible. Only then does meaning emerge.

The biggest misconception is that you can transcend selfishness through willpower but in actuality, it's through competence.

This guy sells AI employees to small businesses.

He's a non-technical designer with no audience, spends $0 on ads, has no tech background.

Yet he's still done 21 agent setups in 6 months, almost all from referrals.

His model: install one AI agent as a digital employee, then get paid monthly to manage it and coach the owner. Setup fee plus a per-agent monthly rate.

@fhlcreative came on the Build With AI pod to walk us through the whole playbook. Here's what I learned:

1. The product is the coaching, not the agent. Owners treat AI like Google. You get paid to manage it so they never have to.

2. Raise your price every yes. $500 setups became $1,000. Now he's targeting $2,000 setups plus $1,000/month per agent.

3. Give the agent a value ledger. It logs every task and sends a weekly ROI report. One client's first week: 63 hours saved, $6,300 in value.

4. Put yourself in the group chat. Telegram group with Phil, the client, and the agent. The client learns by watching him talk to it.

5. The agents handle real multi-step work. One prompt: find the invoice email, extract the PDF into Excel, save to Dropbox, send the link. Done in 10 minutes.

6. Uptime is a selling point. The best prospects tried agents themselves and quit when they broke. Phil fixes it before the client notices.

7. Free work is the referral engine. Friends in his small Georgia town told friends in Atlanta and Dallas. Now he has clients nationwide.

8. The pitch is one text. "I'm testing a managed agent service. Want to be a guinea pig? I'll charge you less." First client: $250/month.

9. Make the agent write to Excel, not its own markdown. A shared source of truth is the difference between a demo and a system.

10. Phil builds his agents on @orgo. $29/month gets your agent a computer with pre-built templates. Phil's agent handles the Orgo admin itself.

His 2 key takeaways:

1. You only need to be one step ahead. If you've built an agent for yourself, you know more than the owner who never has. Charge from day one.

2. Visible ROI is the retention strategy. A weekly "you saved $6,300" report re-sells the retainer every single week.

Phil is doing this at a level most technical people are not, and we had a blast going deep on it. Go follow @fhlcreative

If this is your situation, here’s the good news. 🇨🇦

40 years old with ~$100k saved.
25 years until retirement.

Max your TFSA: ~$583/month at 8% for 25 years → ~$554,000 (tax-free)

Contribute to your RRSP: $1,000/month at 8% for 25 years → ~$900,000

Your existing $100k invested at 8% → ~$685,000 by 65.

Combined → ~$2.2M before RRSP taxes

You’re not behind forever.
You’re behind right now.
There’s a difference.

The accounts exist.
The contribution room is there.
The time is still on your side.

Start today.
Not next year.
Today.

Only 0.3% of the world's population has paid for an AI subscription.

And the majority of that 0.3% is barely scratching the surface.

Everyone thinks they're an AI expert, but they're not even close.

The truth is most people use it to search for things.

I use AI, and especially Claude, more and more every week across all my companies.

Inbox, calendar, internal tools, shipping work before I wake up.

But getting there is a progression.

Here are the 6 levels between chatting with AI and running a business with it:

Figure out who you are, optimize who you are, and don’t apologize for who you are

[Mel Müntser ⚖️ @melanybrita]

The biggest problem plaguing human beings is chronic drift: the tiny, almost invisible ways we move away from the person we want to be.

It’s snapping at someone you love instead of taking 10 seconds to calm down. Avoiding the difficult conversation. Skipping the workout. Reaching for distractions instead of sitting with what you feel. Telling yourself you'll finally be happy once the next thing is done.

Repeated often enough, these menial actions pave the way to a life filled with regret.

[Lazy Canadian Entrepreneur @JimChuong]

Your superpower is not being afraid.

Keep in mind that normies - whether you meet them in school, at work, or in your own family - accomplish nothing. Because they’re scared.

They talk a big game but keep their heads down, voices low, and never rock the boat. Their favorite saying at work is to “fly under the radar”

They settle for middle-class poverty, post from anonymous profiles, suck up to their managers, and live in constant fear of job loss.

Do you know how weak you have to be to live like this? Very.

When I negotiated severance packages from my employers, they warned I’d be blacklisted. It never happened. I even extracted severance from the same multinational on two separate occasions.

They claimed the companies would sabotage my future job prospects with bad references or negative reviews. They didn’t. (my employment lawyer said that would trigger another lawsuit - which is exactly why my employer always confirmed my employment.)

In fact, the company that fired me (and paid me a fat severance) ended up hiring me back years later (and paid me another severance when I left the second time)

When I bought U.S. dollars at parity with the Canadian dollar, they said the U.S. dollar would lose its reserve status. It didn’t.

When I bought U.S. stocks in the middle of the dot com bust and again during the credit crisis, they said America was going bankrupt. It didn’t.

When I bought U.S. rental properties for less than the price of an SUV, they predicted real estate would collapse to zero. It didn’t.

Everybody was supposedly going to leave Arizona because the state was going to run out of water in five years. That was seventeen years ago.

When I said I was going to make money on social media, they told me I was too old, TikTok’s audience was too young, no one there had money, and it was just a dancing app. They were wrong - again.

Remember: The reason normies are normies is precisely because they’re scared of everything.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Your greatest superpower is not being afraid. If you want a chance to be successful don’t be a scared anonymous normie like the NPCs around you.
