Major cheat code for life: Build a boring baseline. Go to bed early. Wake up early. Move your body. Eat simple foods. Save money. Read good books. Avoid drama. Be present. Listen intently. Change your mind. The inputs may not look impressive, but the results certainly do.
Socially smart people often won’t tell you to your face when they disagree with you because they can sense intuitively that you are too attached to the outcome of the interaction and that you couldn’t handle disagreement. So they will just agree with you… but then you might not hear from them again.
It’s easy to assume this is “fake” when really it’s just what intelligent people do to protect their energy. If you went around saying what you really thought all of the time you’d make way too many enemies, and get in way too many unproductive arguments (cortisol spikes = aging)
Of course the only way to make genuine connections is to say what you really think… but especially if you intend to be deeply involved in society, you must train your intuition to know who can take it.
When it comes to humans, I like to keep an open mind. I do not bother myself about the diet of a stranger, the size of their shoe, the colour of their teeth, and many other things. I do not like to paint these pictures; I won't limit them within this scope.
There are two types of people. The people who opened their door to kindness because, they too, have tasted affliction. And the people who closed their door on kindness for the exact same reason. Which one are you?
Every man must meet his humbling phase in life, it’s better you meet your own quicker and when you’re young so you can get back on your feet than to meet it at the later stages of your life.
Underrated life advice: Make yourself easy to root for. Be kind. Be reliable. Celebrate other people’s wins. Work hard without complaining. Carry good energy into rooms. You'll be shocked by how many doors open for you by making life better for others.
Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It's very important that you see that journey through.

• No importa lo que logre Lionel Messi, SIEMPRE hay UNA EXCUSA, un LLORO o un "PERO". Mientras tanto, él está allí relajándose y disfrutando de sus triunfos y los que sabemos de fútbol, felices.
¿En qué momento van a aceptar que están presenciando al mejor futbolista que el fútbol haya dado?
¿No están cansados de tanto lloro? ¿Creen que la gente les va a creer sus conspiraciones ?...bueno sí, puro pendejo.
whoever said “you MUST BY ALL MEANS develop a strong opinion of yourself so you don't end up internalizing the beliefs others have of you” changed my life.
it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
