The shortest and best way to make your fortune is to let people see clearly that it is in their interests to promote yours.
(Jean de La Bruyere, 1645-1696)
If you want to be rewarded, you have to be irreplaceable.
If you want to be irreplaceable, you have to be unique.
If you want to be unique, you have to be authentic.
If you want to be authentic, stop listening to everyone and everything else.
It’s drowning “you” out.

Adulting advice???? Always make time to travel, even if it’s not an expensive trip. Take time to unwind. Give yourself the chance to breathe. It’s crucial for your mental health. Visit the beach and don’t feel guilty for spending your hard earned money. You deserve to enjoy life.
i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.
i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.
sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.
so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.
spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.
that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.
The most dangerous person in the world is the one who continues to show up every day even when the rewards are not guaranteed. Your potential is determined by the amount of uncertainty you’re able to tolerate and how long you can tolerate it for.

Make yourself too available and the aura of power you have created around yourself will wear away.
Turn the game around:
Make yourself less accessible and you increase the value of your presence.
