You come across a tweet that tells you that everything is going to work out. How does it make you feel? If it's able to generate even the slightest bit of positive emotion in you, then it's literally true
Because if it wasn't, you wouldn't have reacted that way. You would've felt nothing or flat out rejected it. Proves that something in you still believes it's not the end of your story, that you still embody enough faith for your body to have not rejected the white pill. You have nothing to worry about
To clarify, the message was “if you want to be an actor, you have to find your path and start taking steps to become one, instead of worrying that you were not born in the right family or you have not been an actor so far”
Start working towards your goal instead of worrying about the past and getting shackled by what you’ve not done so far.
the beauty of being biased to action is that you fail faster, you learn faster and experiment faster. this way you end up getting a lot of "validated learning" in a short time, basically knowing what works and what doesn't. that's the actual moat. you exactly know what works on the groud.
One of the most dangerous problems in today's world isn't just misinformation. it's algorithmically reinforced echo chambers.
Social media doesn't just confirm your biases it amplifies them. It feeds you content that agrees with you, distorts opposing views, and quietly conditions you to dismiss or even hate anyone who thinks differently.
Disagreement has turned into disdain.
Debate has turned into division. A simple yet powerful way to break out of this loop is to intentionally consume content from voices across the spectrum.
Podcasts, blogs, interviews, tweets of people you find on the different side of the spectrum- not to agree, but to understand.
More often than not, you'd gather insights that sharpen your own thinking and make your opinions more informed; not just reinforced.
Being challenged is not a threat to your identity, it's how it evolves, it's how you become a more informed person.
I'm fed up with the job market.
You send out 100+ applications.
You finally get shortlisted.
You go through 4-5 rounds of interviews…
Only to end up feeling drained, unseen, and stuck.
So why not take all that grind…
and put it into building something of your own?
Yesterday, I started my micro SaaS journey.
I’ve been:
- Reading blogs & Reddit posts
- Watching YouTube videos
- Making notes
- Thinking about ideas & real pain points
All while asking myself: what problem can I actually solve?
It’s scary. It’s uncertain.
But it’s ours.
Let’s make a change.
Let’s grind for ourselves… not for someone else.
I cracked interviews with LeetCode.
But I grew with:
→ System Design
→ Real projects
→ Trade-off decisions
LeetCode gets you in the door.
System Design keeps you in the room.
Statistically, most of us are average.
We might excel in one thing and be clueless in another! but overall, we fall somewhere in the middle.
What sets people apart is consistency and grit.
Doing the same thing over and over until it feels effortless.
Turning the impossible into routine.
Building insights that only come with time, curiosity, and repetition.
That's where the real delta lies. That's what is keeping you from getting "lucky".
Money psychology is always fascinating. Here's two personal examples from my life
I make between $1-2k per month from Twitter monetization. I don't think it's that much. Doesn't do anything to me emotionally. But that's only because I'm so used to seeing this being thrown around on here as if it were pocket change
Then I told myself wait this is like half of my rent. I imagined looking my apartment on Zillow, seeing the actual rent with a line slashed through it, and the new discounted rent in red. Immediately made me feel like I was rich just because of how I mentally applied it
Another situation was when I visited NYC last month for a week. I was swiping the card without care. Dinners, drinks, activities, covering people, etc. Didn't keep track of how much I spent when I was there but it really felt like I being super hedonistic lmao
Assumed I spent thousands. Came out to be just shy of $1k when I saw the statement. I was like wow hypothetically I could spend like this every day and still be fine. I'm just not used to it. Also made me realize how rich I could feel without needing nearly as much as I thought
Lesson here is that wealth is more of a feeling than it is a number itself. Don't feel wealthy? Try applying the number differently. Try spending the money differently. Feel surprised. Feel relieved. Feel different things and use those feelings to feel differently about how you feel about money
It's important to stay humble, but every now and then, be a little narcissistic with yourself.
Laugh at the shallow goals you once thought were massive.
Let your ego show up when you're doubting your abilities.
Tap into your past wins and remind yourself what you're capable of.
Reflect on how far you've come and how often you've exceeded your own limits.
Use your own story as fuel.
Sometimes, your best hype comes from within.
There are times I feel like I have the worst luck imaginable.
But when I look back, I often realize thqt God's plans were far far far bigger than mine.
The setbacks I once cursed ended up unlocking opportunities I couldn't have even dreamed of.
Sometimes, those short-lived storms are just detours to destinations you never knew existed.
