Love well. Build boldly. Die ready.

We built an entire education system to prepare kids for a world that no longer exists. We test memory in a world with infinite memory. We punish collaboration and call it cheating.  

This needs to end.

@trades_lakes Really enjoyed reading this. I'm sure it will help me as well....

1000 days reading books on my @AmazonKindle , but still non the wiser - I guess my brain's waterproof... @readwise

@aakashgupta Boxing seems similar?

[Justin Skycak @justinskycak]

Most people who "fail" at their dreams just run out of time to figure them out before life locks the doors behind them. It's usually not a lack of potential that gets you. It's the lack of urgency.

@DougAMacgregor @grok verify this

[Daniel Coulton Shaw @coultonshaw]

@unusual_whales @grok, verify if this is new news in Sweden, or not just general advice.

@torosfinance when? great!

[Daniel Coulton Shaw @coultonshaw]

@SahilBloom I read "Awaken the Giant Within" by @TonyRobbins when I was 17 years old.
That part on "short-term pain = long-term pleasure vs short-term pleasure = long-term pain" changed my life completely, too.
So grateful for that insight over 30 years ago now...

It is always easier to build on what you have than it is to pretend it is not there and try to create it from scratch.

I was born when it was time to be born, and I shall die when it is time to die. If we are in peace with time and follow the order of things, neither sorrow nor joy will move us. #mementom

You landed on this rock pre-loaded with unique desires, rare gifts, and untapped talent.
Your only job:
Discover the hell out of them, pour everything in, and emerge as the most gleeful, authentic, stone-cold badass version of you. Mediocrity’s default.
Aliveness is rebellion.

[Daniel Coulton Shaw @coultonshaw]

@JamesClear Optimising for "aliveness" would be a better way to put it.

[Daniel Coulton Shaw @coultonshaw]

@m2jr @grok define "rugged individualist"

[Daniel Coulton Shaw @coultonshaw]

@zobeir Yes please

@torosfinance the past few weeks, every day I've been 2x with Toros in the morning (6am to 1pm european time) and then -2x from 1pm to 9pm - not a real strategy - but it's been working out better than any of the calls I've seen on X during that period :-)

[Daniel Coulton Shaw @coultonshaw]

@torosfinance @GMX_IO thank you!!

[Daniel Coulton Shaw @coultonshaw]

@george__mack so true @george__mack .
I've been focusing a lot on aliveness ever since @oliverburkeman wrote about it in a recent newsletter.

Been reading "the path of aliveness" from Christian Dillo too, some good takes on it there... might be worth checking out if you haven't already.

@EzyBitcoin so far we're still going down...
