between 25 and 30, a man faces his hardest battles, not with the world, but with himself. you realize the mistakes you've repeated for years and start breaking each cycle, one by one. this is the age where men either transform into kings or remain slaves to their past forever.

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

A man can stay up til 2 a.m., wake up at 6, be in debt, broke, alone, and still have faith that one day, everything will work out. It's called being a man.

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.

They ask Warren Buffett in an interview:

"What is true wealth"?

Warren Buffet: "True wealth is not having the biggest house or the most expensive car.

It is having enough money to live comfortably while being free to choose how you spend your time, who you work with, and the life you want to live.

In the end, time and freedom are the greatest forms of wealth".

(Charlie Rose, 2009)

romanticize your life, take pretty pictures, feel like the main character, light up a candle, read books, go for a walk, dance to your favorite music, buy yourself presents, do whatever you want, be happy - this is your life, don't let anyone take it from you

every time you replace "this is hard" with "what's the first step?" you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving).

YOU MUST LEARN TO ENJOY LIFE WITHOUT NEEDING AN AUDIENCE TO SEE THAT YOU ARE ENJOYING LIFE

[aether @bluewdrift]

the real reason you’re tired all the time: it’s not your workload. it’s your open loops. the text you haven’t answered. the apology you owe. the decision you’re avoiding. the conversation you keep postponing. these run in the background of your mind all day, draining your battery. close your loops. watch your energy return. mental clutter is more exhausting than physical work ever will be.
