Something I noticed about genuinely happy people: They're doing less than you. They have fewer goals. Fewer appointments. Fewer obligations. They've learned that addition by subtraction is real. While you're optimizing every minute, they're sitting on their porch drinking coffee. They're not lazy. They just figured out that most of what we chase doesn't matter. Busy is a choice. Peace is too. One looks successful. The other actually is.

my generous read was of a man stressed out by being a sole breadwinner and self-employed and on edge but the more i read the more i saw a selfish person who viewed life as a set of compromises between you and what you want to do. theres no greater joy than laying on the floor having legos stuffed in your mouth by those who love you unconditionally. i would trade all my bangers on twitter for three drool covered legos in my eye.

Fuckin legend! Can anyone find out if he’s still alive?

This except from @kylascan’s latest is really good.

I see this stuff in corporate settings too. People read half an email, do zero critical thinking and move on like that’s all that’s required.

In theory, consistency is about being disciplined, determined, and unwavering.

In practice, consistency is about being adaptable. Don't have much time? Scale it down. Don't have much energy? Do the easy version. Find different ways to show up depending on the circumstances. Let your habits change shape to meet the demands of the day.

Adaptability is the way of consistency.

The secret is there is no secret:

Move your body regularly.
Eat whole foods, not too much.
Build community and belonging.
Pursue meaningful endeavors.
Optimize for control over your time and energy, not money or things.
Be patient, play the long game.
Sleep when you are tired.

A ripple effect of today's AI that not enough folks are considering is how much we rely on writing, for better or worse, for assessment: well-written essays get you into college, well-written resumes get you jobs, well-written emails get you promoted, etc.

That signal is gone.

@tomowenmorgan Tom if you don’t like the term “Life Coach,” what’s a better name? I’ve seen family offices hire “Chief Learning Officers” - but that too feels off. Is there a better name out there?

There are two contrasting ways of pursuing wealth, power and success.

The approach that works the best is also the one most people ignore. https://t.co/JUJDCBnnIe

@tomowenmorgan Is this just a different way of accepting that luck plays a much more significant role in our lives than we’re often willing to admit?

@lukeburgis Highly recommend Erich Fromm’s book To Have or To Be as a guide for working on that project.

This is a great read.

One of my coaching clients passed it along to me.

He is one of the most accomplished people you could imagine.

And yet, and yet.

There's also this: I experience many of these traps too.

It's an ongoing practice to overcome them.
