In 2018 an airport worker named Richard stole an empty airplane and flew it for over an hour, performing different stunts. He was not a pilot, and his only “experience” was flying in video games. The conversation before he finally cr@shed was so emotional, he was named the Sky King.

nobody wants to hear this, but the reality is that you should extend your timelines to years. it will take most people years to achieve anything hard even if you are consistent daily

Long-term thinking changes short-term actions. Spend a little time today doing things that will benefit you in ten years.

[blue @bluewmist]

Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.

I read a quote that said

“The faster that you do the hard things you want to avoid, the faster you will receive the good things you actually want”

and that has changed my whole perspective.

Apply for jobs, apply for scholarships, apply to further your studies. Go to the interviews, complete the assessments, do it for the plot. Opportunities favor those in motion.

the biggest lesson from my twenties is to never mistake your current trajectory for your destination

no matter how fucked you think you are, a few years can rewrite everything

keep going

The average person does not try to solve their problems or struggles. They get stuck in a routine and live the same day over and over. It does not cross their minds to snap out of it, engage in strategic thinking, and change direction so they can eventually reach a more advantageous position in life.

If you want to get ahead of 90% of people, all you have to do is pause, think, and actually attempt to overcome the struggle you're faced with.

If you want to change, you have to become conscious of your unconscious patterns. You have to catch yourself in the act of being the old self. And then you have to choose differently. Not once. A thousand times. Until the new choice becomes the new default.

I don't know who needs to hear this but someone recently told me "no amount of waiting will make you more brave, and no amount of worrying will make it more safe."
And honestly I think about this everyday.

Before walking: Man, I've got so much to do. Maybe I should skip the walk.

After walking: Holy crap. I've just come up with a major solution to a problem I've been dealing with, my energy is through the roof, and my brain feels like it's exploding with ideas.

It took me 40 years to understand that the cheat code to life is to avoid what everyone thinks of you and just do whatever the f*ck you want.

Marcus Aurelius wrote this over 1800 years ago:

“Be satisfied with even the smallest progress.”

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Stop consuming other people's lives. They are not better than you. They are simply living their own. You live yours. Do things that you find exciting. Follow your interests. Write a book. Start a business. Teach something that feels like play to you. Start a Vlog on the thing you've been obsessed about since you were seven. Don't become a spectator in your own life. You are the main character. You are the hero of your story. Not them, You. Remember that.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Large, sweeping changes often sound good in theory, but the faster you try to change your life, the more likely you are to backslide. Real change is inch by inch. Go out and win the next five minutes.

Whatever made you weird as a kid is the raw material for whatever will make you genius as an adult.

Lean into it. Now more than ever.

[yimika. @yimikaaaa]

hardest thing for me to grasp as an adult is you have to keep showing up no matter how you feel. you gotta do this shit sad, do it heartbroken, do it grieving, do it tired. life doesn’t care, it waits for nobody, you just have to keep going.
