Without confidence, every skill you have is useless. A brilliant man who hesitates will lose to a mediocre man who acts with certainty. The world rewards confidence, not perfection. Build it daily or watch your talent go to waste.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Never confuse being needed with being valued. People can depend on your competence while quietly resenting your leverage. Watch how they treat you when you stop producing for them. Gratitude fades fast when your usefulness becomes inconvenient to their ego.

Reminiscing on two 250 years of American architectural heritage today

Art Deco stands out as proof that a young nation could build its confidence directly into form

Geometry and ambition as a kind of national language

That conviction shouldn’t stay in the past

It deserves to guide what America builds next

You cannot fake magnetism, it is never about how you look, what you have etc it is the soul that radiates so powerfully that magnetism becomes a byproduct of it

You cannot solve problems of the mind with the mind.

If anxiety, depression, or spiraling thoughts are the issue, more thinking or modalities like talk therapy or journaling can be good to order the mind, but won't provide permanent change at a holistic level.

Permanent change is found through the body, through deeper levels of integration, grounding, and expansion within the nervous, fascia, and chakra systems.

Yoga, breathwork, somatic release, fascia work, sports, and dance are paradoxically the most powerful solutions to mental suffering, because when the body becomes loose, soft, and relaxed, the mind follows.

Because people who lack confidence think negatively about themselves all the time, they assume having confidence means thinking positively about yourself. The reality is that real confidence means not thinking about yourself at all.

I want people to notice how a lot of these are done naturally by children. Especially the arm swings (as is done when skipping, and some others are done when stimming). Turns out longevity is connected to channeling the mannerisms of the inner child. How cool!

[Nat Eliason @nateliason]

My best advice on building an audience is to be excited about something.

Be really, really excited.

Your enthusiasm will flow into your content and do far more than any hacks or other optimizations.

And the excitement makes it easier to post more.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

If you want confidence, stop aiming to avoid failure. Aim to recover fast. Take the hit, learn the lesson, adjust, repeat. The man who can bounce back becomes fearless over time, because he trusts his ability to rebuild even when things go wrong.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Your first attempt might not be very good, but nobody's early work is good. There will always be a gap between where you are and where you want to be. And the bridge between that gap is courage. The courage to look foolish in the beginning. The courage to show up again when your early work is criticized. The courage to look yourself in the mirror and say, "I realize I'm not good enough yet, but the only way to get better is to keep working on it."

[M. @ayosznn]

may your “let me just try” work out beautifully.

[CooperBaggs 💰🍞 @edgaralandough]

Right now, your only priority is getting your life back on track and becoming the best version of yourself. Don’t stress about who stays, who leaves, who understands, or who switches up. This season is about finally doing what is best for you. Heal your mind, rebuild your discipline, protect your peace, get your money right, strengthen your body, and return to yourself. Whoever is meant to walk with the new version of you will meet you there.

[MERCVRE @MercureCopy]

There’s one thing that gives away AI writing. And it’s not what people think.

By now, everyone knows about em dashes, “it’s not this, it’s that,”, the rule of three’s, etc.

But if you were to delete every one of those, somehow the writing still feels like AI.

So what’s the real tell?

Well, let me go all “akshually” on you today with a recent study.

Some guys from the University of Maryland and Google DeepMind looked at 61,000 stories.

But they didn’t look at the words.

They looked at the STRUCTURE behind them.

And they found that AI explains the point of the story 77% of the time.

Humans only do it 52% of the time.

What that means is AI tells you what the story meant, then it tells you how you’re supposed to feel about it…

...which leaves you nothing to work out for yourself.

The researchers had a word for this: “over-determination.”

And if you write Copy for a living, this is super important to understand.

Because when you overexplain your point to your reader, when you connect every dot for him and tell him what to think…

You’ve done his thinking for him.

And you know how people react to a conclusion handed out to them.

They nod, they agree, and they forget it 10 minutes later.

And this happens because people have a deep need to feel like they’re the ones deciding.

Tell someone what to think and they’ll instinctively push back, even just a little, even if you’re right.

It’s the same reason a “wet paint, do not touch” sign makes you want to check if the paint really is wet.

Nobody likes being led by the nose, especially when you haven’t earned their trust.

Now take that same someone, and walk him to the conclusion. Show him the steps along the way, and let him take them.

And when you do that, when you finally get close to the edge, he’ll take that last step for you…

And he’ll do it because he feels like it’s his own idea.

And nobody argues with their own ideas.

So if you use AI to draft, of course, delete all the tell-tale signs.

But look at the deeper structure as well.

Stop stating your point outright so much.

Be more subtle about it.

Trust your reader.

And if you want to see how to do this well, check out my book Quiet Persuasion.

There’s a section in there called “Making the desire theirs.”

Because what I’ve learned after 6 years of writing and chiefing Copy at one of Europe’s largest DR companies…

…is that you don’t persuade people by piling up more reasons.

Anyone can do that.

But persuasion is about restraint.

Knowing when and what to hold back, so your prospect ends up making your case for you, thinking he came up with it himself.

This is what most of Quiet Persuasion explains.

How people make up their minds, why they resist being sold to, and how to move them without them ever feeling your hand on their back.

Check it out below.

If you can get to inner neutrality with the “worst-case scenario,” you are truly free to choose the reality you want.

The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
