Most people who think they are struggling mentally usually either (1) have too much free time (2) have no meaningful purpose (3) have no deep relationship with anyone (4) spend too much time thinking about what they want and not enough thinking about what they can do for others.
instead of a monthly to do list, write a monthly love letter. write:
- 1 highlight you experienced last month
- 1 challenge you overcame last month
- 1 lesson you learned last month

When you are young, you keep chasing the next thrill, the next stimulation, the next new experience,
and as you get older, you understand that the best things in life come with enough stability and "boredom":
a close circle of family and friends with whom you can dive into deeper and deeper conversations,
a regimented routine of tough trainings, relaxed reading, disciplined writing, healthy diet, high-quality sleep, that steadily unlock the healthiest, strongest, smartest, happiest version of yourself,
fewer trades, fewer investments, less money-chasing, and more peace of mind, more financial freedom, more time to experience the more subtly great things in life.
The goal isn't an emotional rollercoaster of unnecessary drama and mindless "busyness," the goal is a thrilling adventure of meaningful experiences, compounding wealth, and great stories to share with the next generations.
