Underrated life lesson: Confidence is less about knowing you’ll win and more about knowing you’ll bounce back even if you don’t. Real confidence is built on resilience. Adaptability. Tolerance for uncertainty. Fear loses when you embrace that failure is never final.
The bar for doing things is set so low.
I sh*t you not, if you just do what you say you’re gonna do, and keep showing up no matter what - you’ll beat 99% of people.
🚨 Elon Musk’s message to young entrepreneurs, CEOs, and startups:
"Try to be as useful as possible. I think if you aspire to do true work, your probability of success is much higher. Do whatever it takes to succeed. Smash your ego, be humble. It's a super big deal."
Authenticity wins.
“In a relationship, roughly the only thing that matters is if you can be yourself around them… shared hobbies, attraction, lifestyle alignment is downstream.
If you can’t be fully yourself around someone, you’re either performing or negotiating constantly.
& over time that corrodes everything.
True intimacy is being radically unedited & still accepted.
The rest is just set design.” — @signulll
You must love without expecting anything in return; otherwise it's not truly love. You must respect without expecting anything in return; otherwise you don't truly respect them. You must speak honestly without expecting a pat on the back; otherwise you aren't truly being honest.
How to get over something big;
Find something bigger to worry about or bigger to dream about.
You make big things into small things by putting them next to gigantic things.
There’s great power in being a decisive individual. But you have to recognize where that power comes from. It’s ultimately a matter of being fully comfortable with how you feel about whatever is in front of you; so comfortable that you could care less what people think…
The only way to at least give yourself a shot at dominating anything you encounter is putting the silent work/preparation in beforehand. There’s no way around it. Even if you do get away with taking shortcuts, you’ll walk away wondering — what if?
One of the strongest realizations you can have is that you are the way you are because of the good & bad. Good & bad times. Good & bad people. Be grateful for it all, it got you to where you are today.
