I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives.

The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing.

The best description of mentorship I've ever seen:

Remarkable how prescient @balajis was here exactly a year ago. This seems obviously right now but absolutely wasn’t on January 30th 2020.

Looking back, most of the excuses I made...

not enough time
not enough money
not enough knowledge
not the right connections

...were just ways to avoid the real bottleneck.

Not enough courage.

Around 500 people 65+ are dying per day in California. (~75% of all deaths.) In total, 6 million people in CA are 65+. CA currently has 2 million unused vaccine doses.

Many of the world's greatest thinkers and doers - from @naval and @elonmusk to @nntaleb and @chamath - tout the importance of first principles thinking.

Here's First Principles 101!

• Yoga, exercise, play, nature walks.

• Creating art, reading for fun, singing, poetry.

• Practicing a craft, pursuing curiosity, work done for its own sake, flow.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Greatness is consistency.

Meditating once is common. Meditating daily is rare.

Exercising today is simple. Training every week is simply remarkable.

Writing one essay doesn’t mean much. Writing every day practically makes you a hero.

Unheroic days can make for heroic decades.

The feeling of progress is one of the best feelings of all. This is true even when progress is small.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Working on a problem reduces the fear of it.

It’s hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it—even if progress is imperfect and slow.

Action relieves anxiety.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Amazing social skills are a superpower.

The ability to deliver bad news in a good way is a superpower.

The ability to de-escalate a tense situation into a calm one is a superpower.

The ability to transform a lose/win situation into a win/win situation is a superpower.

Entrepreneur’s mind.
Athlete’s body.
Artist’s soul.

Hope is the belief that this moment isn’t good enough.
