My grandfather would always say that those without gratitude lack imagination. And without imagination they are unable to grasp how lucky they are that fate has smiled on them. So they will always grasp for more.

He was a wise man and I am grateful every day for his lessons

The right kind of ambition is to compete against yourself. To be the best version of yourself.

You don’t win in life by finishing, you win by staying in the game

[Victor Adeleye | Prooval @VictorAdeleye_]

Work is endless. Exercise is endless. Parenting is endless. Same with marriage, writing, investing, creating, and more. You get to choose the parts of your life, but many of the important things in life cannot be “finished."

Do not approach an endless game with a finite mindset. The objective is not to be done, but to settle into a daily lifestyle you can sustain and that allows you to make daily progress on the areas that matter.

Embrace the fact that life is continual and look for ways to enjoy the daily practice.

James Clear.

Looking back at some of the startup products I worked on, a common early mistake is asking what we could build instead of what problem actually matters. It sounds like a small shift, but it often decide whether product market fit is ever found

Some of our beliefs are picked up from other people. I wrote about how my inherited fear was a clear example of that

@iamyoungguru It’s been a long time coming 😅 curiosity has always been the main driver. Also, learning from books and official docs pushed me to understand the system at a deeper level

[Toheeb Olayemi @creativenux]

@iamyoungguru Your point is valid but I think the trade-off is intentional. Freedom without responsibility can become just consumption at scale. Stewardship leans more on the accountability side and that tension might actually be what gives it meaning
