If you make where you are going more important than where you are, there may be no point in going.

One of the best explanations of why Jesus had to die on the cross that I've ever heard. I've listened to apologetics content for 20+ years and have never heard this. Well done @howertonjosh

Life is not a problem to be solved, nor a question to be answered. Life is a mystery to be experienced.

@Breaking911 They are calling that a tree? That's a tall bush. That fence is built more like a dog pen.

@DanielTNiles @CNBC Thanks for the recap. I missed that interview today and you are one of maybe 5 that I pay serious attention to!!

Naval Ravikant: "You're going to die. It's all going to zero. What's there to stress about?"

"Stress is when your mind has two conflicting desires at once. You want to be liked, but you want to do something selfish. You don't want to go to work, but you want to make money. You have two conflicting desires, and that's stress."

Naval explains the difference between stress and anxiety:

"Anxiety is this pervasive, unidentifiable stress where you're stressed out all the time and you're not even sure why. The reason is you have so many unresolved problems that have piled up in your life, you can no longer identify what the problems are. There's this mountain of garbage in your mind. A little bit is poking out the top like an iceberg; that's anxiety. But underneath, there's a lot of unresolved things."

He shares his personal anxiety resolver:

"One big anxiety resolver for me is just ruminating on death. You're going to die. It's all going to zero. You cannot take anything with you. If you can keep that idea in front of you at all times, what's there to stress about?"

Naval reframes what "wasted time" really means:

"What is wasted time? Everything is wasted time in a sense because nothing matters in the ultimate. But in each moment, it's the only thing that matters. So if you're doing something you want to do and you're fully there for it it's not wasted time. If your mind is running away, wishing you were somewhere else, anticipating the future, regretting the past, that's wasted time. That's time you're not present for."

He concludes:

"People get worried about dying and no longer being here. But they don't realize that so much of their life is spent not being here in any case."

@mtbert @Simi_2210_ I watched your "invest with the best" interview last night. I already knew about your stellar business accomplishments but your personal story was as wild as they get. That was a lot. Old school tuff. I'm even more comfortable with my oversized Oscar holdings! God bless!

@mtbert @Amelia558rs 3.75 and it went to 4.25 shortly after I started working. The cheapest gas I remember was 78 cents per gallon.

Ok. I was really caught off guard here. I did not expect my visceral reaction to this message from James Vanderbeek.

Do yourself a favor and listen. Just listen. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

RIP James, God speed🙏🏼

The fastest way to attract what’s meant for you is to express yourself so honestly that everything misaligned falls away on its own.

You can beat 99% of people if you can master the shame of rejection, the boredom of repetition, and pain of feedback.

Happiness is having better problems. Success is having better failures. Discipline is having better addictions.

You don’t get rid of the struggle. You upgrade it.

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

If you're split between two paths, pick the one with the better story.
At the end of your life, it's all your gonna have left anyways.
