Life advice nobody told you: Talent and intelligence are overrated. Intelligent people are more likely to overthink, overplan, and overanalyze. They hide behind motion that doesn't create progress. They fear the judgment of others if they're proven wrong. The truth is that talent and intelligence are abundant. Courage is not. The people you admire are the ones who had the courage to act. They aren’t more talented than you. They aren’t smarter than you. They just took action when you didn’t. I often wonder how many extraordinary people wasted their entire lives waiting for permission that never came. Permission isn't granted. It's taken. You get to tap yourself in whenever you want. You can just do things.

If you want a rare life, you have to be delusional. Doubt can enter your mind, and it can sound reasonable, but if you entertain it too much it will slowly drag you down into stagnation. I'd rather reap the lesson from massive failure than do nothing because it's not "realistic."

The most dangerous financial plan is a single salary, a big mortgage, and the hope that nothing goes wrong.

A friend of mine used to say: "Confidence isn’t built by thinking positive thoughts. It’s built by doing difficult things while your brain screams at you to stop."

Damn, was he right.

i have no desire to be rich so i can buy a rolex or a lamborghini.

i want to be rich so i can control my time and go to the gym at 3pm on a monday.

sit at a cafe and relax for an hour on a rainy afternoon.

so i can cook meals at home with fresh ingredients.

spend on my family and friends without worrying about a budget.

that's my idea of a rich life, not the fake consumerist idea shoved down my throat.

A sign of a future successful person is their ability to delay gratification.

“Being good with money” literally just means spend less than you make and put the extra in things that go up not down.

Rich: 6 figure job, luxurious lifestyle, no savings

"Rich" is a status symbol

Wealthy: ownership of assets, potentially a frugal life, enough savings and income from businesses to pay for your expenses so you don't have to work if you don't want to

"Wealth" gives you freedom

[Justin Welsh @thejustinwelsh]

The goal of solopreneurship is to become unemployable.

So free, so selective, and so allergic to nonsense that no job could ever compete with what you've built for yourself.

[Rajat Soni, CFA @Rajatsoni]

The rich get rid of their currencies as quickly as possible to buy assets.

The poor get rid of their currencies as quickly as possible to consume.

Getting in shape is slow.

Getting out of shape is fast.

You are not meant to become financially free

The entire financial system is designed to make it as difficult as possible

Fiat currencies are intentionally debased so hard workers who are financially illiterate have to work forever to avoid going homeless

[Rajat Soni, CFA @Rajatsoni]

The value of your labor/time is trending to 0 in terms of Bitcoin

Today your annual salary might be 0.5-0.6 BTC

Eventually, you will be paid 0.01 BTC or less for a year of your time

Every 0.1 BTC you own will give you a decade or more of time freedom and financial freedom
