An antidote for the soul is close by, why look far away?

You don't look like your goals, you look like your habits. Effort never lies.

[Sahil Bloom @SahilBloom]

My honest advice to someone who wants to make a lot of money.

3 things nobody told you:

1. The only way to make a lot of money is to create a lot of value.

No one hands out money. No one is going to pay you just because they like you or think you're cool. That's not the way the world works.

Money earned is a direct byproduct of value created. Create value, receive value. If money is the goal, value has to be the focus.

This isn't just some vague idea: The only way to get rich is to create an enormous amount of value for others, and capture a small portion of that along the way.

It's not talking about the thing, it's not brainstorming about the thing, it's not asking about the thing, it's not thinking about the thing. The only way to create value is by doing the thing.

And if you don't know where to start, look around you. Customers, colleagues, bosses, shareholders, employees. Every single one of them has a problem. What problems can you solve for the people around you? Figure them out, solve them, scale that solution.

That's how you make money.

2. You have to demonstrate excellence in everything you do.

Your income scales proportional to the amount of excellence that you're able to demonstrate.

Strategic incompetence is a lie. You don't get to pick and choose when to show up, because the world will ignore your best and judge you for your worst. Everything matters. Every single thing.

Top performers show up with energy and enthusiasm for the little things just as much as they do for the big things.

If you're in the top-10% of performers, there's no ceiling for what you can do. But the self-awareness to identify where you currently stack up, and adapt to the honest feedback on it, is very rare.

If you're in the top-10%, you know it. If you're not, figure out why and fix it.

3. You don't need passion, you need energy.

I still have no idea what it means to follow your passion.

You don't have to be passionate about your professional pursuits, you just need to find energy in them. You just need to feel a pull towards them. You just need to feel that spark of curiosity in them.

Passion is usually a byproduct of energy.

When you have energy for something, you'll give it your deep attention to learn more. You’ll ask the right questions. You’ll figure it out. You’ll win.

***

And remember: Nobody is coming to save you. It’s just you. There’s a power in that.

Go do the thing.

The brain is designed to learn through constant repetition and active, hands-on involvement. Through such practice and persistence, any skill can be mastered.

[Kirill Firsov @k_firsov]

So much drama today, people losing their minds over this "new" feature from Anthropic, calling it the death of pentesting and bug bounties. Even stocks tanked for companies that have nothing to do with it. Why?
Because most investors in this space don't know shit about security or what Claude AI actually dropped. We have been running vulnerability scans with various AI models, including Opus 4.6 for months already. This release is basically just a handy button to run what used to be a chain of prompts doing the exact same thing.
Investors: Buy back in.
Bug hunters and pentesters: relax and level up with it. Anthropic’s social media team: Bravo! This clickbait worked out!

The most important success principle is consistency. Being able to keep doing the same thing day after day without immediate satisfaction.

The problem is, to witness consistency, you need to be consistent.

[DAN KOE @thedankoe]

Master your mind.

Read more. Consume less. Produce more. React less. Focus intensely on one thing. Zoom out and let go of everything. Train. Recover.

Your mind is the operating system for reality. If you don't program it, others will, and that never ends well.

[Resilience | Dating & Breakup Guides for Men @ResilienceOfMan]

Most "depressed" people aren't actually depressed.

The empty feeling you have that you call "depression" is because your life is empty.

In fact, you have no reason to feel good if you're aimless and purposeless.

Get to work & stop just existing.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Repeated failure will toughen your spirit and show you with absolute clarity how things must be done.

In fact, it is a curse to have everything go right on your first attempt.

You will fail to question the element of luck, making you think that you have the golden touch.

When you do inevitably fail, it will confuse and demoralize you past the point of learning.

[Trading Composure @TradingComposur]

Treat trading like a business, and expect uncertainty, loss, and stress.

When trading is approached as a job, one tends to expect a regular paycheck.

But the market doesn't hand paychecks, it delivers rewards and bonuses to those that are proficient at strategic risk-taking.

Doctors dont sit and fantasize about money while operating on a patient

Comedians don't think about money while telling their jokes

Ball players don't think about money when making their way down that court

They're focused on the craft

You as a trader need to be the same way

[Atal @Atalburhani]

Trading is hard

Not only do you need to win trades

You need to learn to wait for the winning trades

Not only do you need to wait for the winning trades

You need to learn to wait for probability to extract your edge from the winning trades

Not only do you need to learn to wait for probability to extract your edge from the winning trades

You need to learn to wait for losing streaks to run their course WHILE executing your edge with the utmost discipline

This is the truth

It's about relentlessly moving forward

It's about accepting it's okay to stand still

It's about persisting without a drop left in the tank

It's about letting go and trusting it'll work out

The game isn't easy

The game isn't straightforward

But it's the most beautiful game you'll ever play

If you're willing to let yourself go

You won't just make a shit ton of money.

You'll transform your entire life.

[Trader Mike @tradermike1234]

Start meditating

People like to shi* on it

And I'm not saying it will complete everything for you

But it does help you become mindful

And that is going to help you control your emotions way better when you are in the game and money is on the line

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Your wealth vanishes, the latest gadgetry suddenly becomes passé, your allies desert you. But if your mind is armed with the art of war, there is no power that can take that away.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

Mistakes and failures are precisely your means of education. They tell you about your own inadequacies.

[Trading Composure @TradingComposur]

Many people love the idea of trading for a living but lack the mental/emotional maturity to handle the reality of trading for a living.

[Atal @Atalburhani]

The art of waiting. The art of executing. The art of observing emotions. The art of discipline. The art of self-exploration. The art of system-building. The art of resetting and restarting. The art of making money with your mind. Trading doesn't teach you to read candles. It teaches you yourself.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

Stop crying.

It’s not happening as fast as you want because you’re not as good as you think you are.
