@SahilBloom Good job Sahil! I’m prepping to do 50 miles for my 50th. The challenge is huge!

Your entire life will change when you realize that energy fuels growth. Give energy to stress, complaints, and negative people, they will grow. Give energy to ambitions, gratitude, and positive people, they will grow. Choose wisely.

Major cheat code for life: Increase your recovery speed.

You will get rejected. You will lose money. You will embarrass yourself. The goal isn't to avoid the fall. It's to shorten the time between the fall and the reset.

The ultimate life hack is the ability to quickly reset and recover.

From a poor decision. From a bad interaction. From a missed workout. From a bad day. You can start over whenever you want. You can't always control what happened, but you can control how long you carry it.

Fast recovery compounds.

@SahilBloom Love it! I did 45 for my 45th. Looking forward to 50 this year for my 50th! You wanna run it with me!?

Well, 5 years in and three condenser replacements later, we are moving on from our @LG_Refrigerator. The lack of warranty up front should have been a good sign that it was junk. But the horrible customer service and warranty support ensured that I will never buy another LG.

Here’s a harsh truth nobody told you about success:

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

Happiness isn't where you arrive.

(it's where you're headed)

I spent years chasing milestones. When I made X dollars. When I got Y title. When I achieved Z goal.

But every time I arrived, the destination moved.

The promotion high fades in weeks. The revenue target gets replaced. The dream house becomes yesterday's news.

Here's what changed everything: Happiness isn't a destination. It's a direction.

Am I growing? Am I making progress? Am I pointed toward something meaningful?

That's what matters.

That's why 800,000+ readers trust my newsletter to keep them moving forward.

Four times a week, I share:

- Questions that clarify your direction
- Frameworks for consistent progress
- Systems that turn intentions into habits
- Insights that make the journey worthwhile

No false promises. Just proven ways to keep moving in the right direction.

Because happiness isn't waiting at some future milestone. It's in the steps you take today.

I keep coming back to this question:

Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?

In 2021, Georgia Tech strength coach Lewis Caralla delivered this epic speech to the football team.

If it doesn’t light a fire under you, check your pulse…

He starts with a series of brutal truths:

• Winning isn’t loyal to you
• Winning doesn’t care about you
• Winning doesn’t care how sore you are
• Winning doesn’t care how hard you work
• Winning doesn’t care how much sleep you’ve had

But then comes the line that hit me:

Are you willing to sprint when the distance is unknown?

That mindset is rare.

It demands two things:

1. An unshakable belief in yourself
2. A deep conviction in the mission

If you have one without the other, you won’t last.

You need both.

From what I’ve seen, the greatest things in life are built by people willing to sprint when they can’t see the finish line:

The sprint to support loved ones when they need you most.

The sprint to create something meaningful.

The sprint to serve others and leave a lasting mark.

Your task: Identify those rare pursuits worth sprinting for when the finish line is hidden.

That, to me, is what winning really is.

"And why chase winning? Because the only thing that's guaranteed in life if you don't chase it is losing."

@James_W_Draper @ccspacemuseum @NASA @SpaceX So jealous! If they have room, I can be a chaperone!

[Michael Gibson @MichaelVGibson]

@101PercentNerd @SeaWorld Same question. 😔

[Michael Gibson @MichaelVGibson]

@ramonvanmeer I’d be interested to see the same test done with the USA version defaulted. Would be interesting to see if people actually changed the choice and if you sold similar amounts.

[Michael Gibson @MichaelVGibson]

@ClownWorld_ OMG I NEED one pronto!

[Michael Gibson @MichaelVGibson]

@jonvoight I love you Jon!

[Michael Gibson @MichaelVGibson]

So glad that these things are starting to be talked about.

@FoxNews what happened to your iPhone app? I tried to listen on the way to work this morning, but had 15 minutes of straight ads before I switched to the radio. Even tried switching to a different stream, but same issue.

[Michael Gibson @MichaelVGibson]

@bennyjohnson Such a joke. It took 3 days for the FBI to identify and name the 9/11 terrorists....here we are at 17+ days and there is zero confirmed information....
