We live in a world where those who contribute nothing, want to be entitled to an opinion.

@MJTruthUltra It’s resentment for what they failed to achieve because of their poor choices and also being misled by falsehoods propagated by charlatans.

@bkaellner Financial advisors sell annuities because they make a lot in commissions. They have an incentive to sell you on the concept of a guaranteed return which is often dismal but the only real guarantee is the high commission for the advisor.

What you believe is a disadvantage can become your greatest advantage that propels you farther than you could ever imagine. The only thing is that you have to keep going. This is an amazing paradox of life which has to be experienced forward and understood backwards.

@vzzeo Work is a transaction of your labor for a salary, not an exchange for relationships. If the work relationships mean something then they shouldn’t disappear just because you accept a better paying job.

Extreme independence or individuality is an unhealthy obsession.

You either push against limits or reach for new heights. The two approaches to life are different in the energy each requires.

@DeepStarts Contrary to the popular & garbage advice that is propagated to ensure your enslavement, it’s wise to never give 100% effort because once you set that example, you’ve signed up for burnout. Your employer has no incentive to pay you more if you’re already giving 100% like a donkey.

@Bike_and_Bow @BowTiedMarmott Once you ascend beyond survival then you’re driven by a desire to attain mastery. Financial independence ensures that no employer has leverage over you and you don’t have to deal with unhealthy work environments.

@Ol0ye This only happens to men who are domesticated donkeys rather than an untamed animal.

No one is so fortunate to get everything in life. Even the wealthy feel a lack of something in some way. That’s the irony of life. It’s wise to surrender to the lack rather than exhaust yourself filling a never ending void.

The greatest loss is losing yourself. You can loose people and possessions but do not lose yourself.

@NavalismHQ @naval Some people are doers while others are thinkers. You have to find out which one you are and then behave accordingly.

If you move through life only seeing the light in others, then you’re missing half the equation. Human beings are capable of terrible darkness and it’s necessary to learn to guard yourself against it.

The secret to relationships is listening. When you listen & make the other person feel heard & acknowledged, that’s what cultivates a bond. If it’s all about you and your problems then you’re using the other person as a therapist, you’re not deserving of healthy relationships.

An adversary who makes exaggerated claims is not worth the fight.

“Follow your passion” is terrible career advice. Instead, focus on what you are good at & fill a need for it in the market. If you’re not wealthy, then develop marketable skills to earn money & keep your passion as a hobby. Wealthy people can afford to follow their passions.
