Putting your phone on grayscale is liberating.

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

My advice to anyone starting out:

Develop a very strong opinion about yourself.
Know exactly who you are & who you are not.

If you don't, someone else will try to tell you who you are, and you might just start believing them.

Stopping your worst habit, is often a more important priority, than trying to stack a new one on top of it.

Long-lasting adult friendships boil down to how easily you can meet up casually; at some point in life, once everyone has parental responsibilities and is often exhausted, the friendships that last are the friendships that are frictionless and mentally effortless to maintain.

The highest wealth for a kid: growing up with two intellectually curious parents who have the courage to take risks, and who remain enthusiastic about their own agency and their own ability to write a great life story. That's the kind of parent you should aim to be.

Endless reading is the most common procrastination method of overthinkers who never have the courage to actually take any jump.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

The happiest people I know grew up with parents who taught them how to appreciate and enjoy the smallest things and gestures; while the most difficult people to please are those who grew up with parents who were constantly judgmental and complaining about every little thing; in practice, it's really hard for someone who has learned to focus on what they don't have, to suddenly start noticing and be grateful for everything they are lucky to have.

It’s all going to end, very soon, enjoy it.

“At your funeral, your friends and family will argue over who gets what.

People will want food to eat.

The topic will shift from your life to their lives.

They’ll drive away thinking about their looming to-do list.

Some people won’t be able to make it because ‘something came up’

And we worry about…a low performing post on social media.

Or what someone “thinks of us”.

Or a bad customer review.

Or whether we’re going to finish our to do list in time.

We die like we go to sleep.

With things unsaid and unfinished.

The only judge who has complete context on our lives, dies with us.

A reminder of the heavy weight we place on things that matter little.”

Uncomfortable truths to internalize before you get “lucky” in life:

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

What most people want for their children is often what they wanted for themselves, and they will inevitably struggle as parents if they never learned the difference between what they wanted from what they needed.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

Many people don’t want understand that you can love your parents and at the same time, acknowledge that they had flaws and made mistakes that you don’t want to repeat with your own children.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

A lot of chronic fatigue happens because of reasons that become extremely obvious once you write them down:

(1) you are in draining relationships that you refuse to let go out of misplaced sentimentalism

(2) you wrongly assume your current lifestyle is healthy and you are in an echo-chamber of people who think the same

(3) you have no clear purpose and drift through life without any real initiative that actually comes from you, you feel empty because you are not driven by your own will

(4) you live in a place where common sense is rare and nothing is functional, and consequently have to spend all your energy planning for the worst-case scenarios

(5) you don't eat, sleep, love like you were meant to, and because you actually never experienced what it felt like to live in a high-energy, ambitious, loving version of yourself, you struggle to understand what you are supposed to change

(6) you make no consistent effort and consequently, no progress in life, and you know it, and with every passing year, you lose a bit more self-esteem, and you even forgot how fun and energizing progress felt

(7) you are constantly distracted by the lives of strangers who don't even know you exist, and live through them without realizing that you are actually wasting your life

(8) you keep building friendships with people who are pessimistic, insensitive, apathetic and as you become more and more like them, you repel all the optimistic, curious, interesting people with whom you could have built energizing friendships

(9) you let society tell you what you were supposed to do, you became one more stereotypical cog in a ruthless machine, and you forgot the voice of your inner child who was guiding you towards the person you actually wanted to be

(10) you never took the time to truly rest, you spent your whole life chasing the physical and mental stimulation that everybody else was also chasing, you thought that was the key to a meaningful life, that's what everybody told you, until you got older, and realized that being low-energy was never an inevitability, but a signal that you already spent too long living the life society wanted you to live, instead of the one you were meant to live.

Just be. Don't try to become someone. You are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You only have to realize it.

I've been running for 4 years.

Here's the most in-depth running guide I've ever made:

Every athlete in the world knows this, but visualization is hugely effective. Not just for physical performance either. Works for all kinds of stuff.

“Speak to your children as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful and magical humans on earth, for what they believe is what they will become.”

You can do far more than you think, far better, and far faster."

Focus is learned behavior. You practice it. By being present in your life. You notice you're distracted and pull yourself out. Over and over again. Like a muscle. It gets stronger every time you bring it back. But modern life is designed to destroy it. Every notification. Every scroll. Every autoplay video pulling you to the next thing before you've finished the first. You're distracted because you're human fighting an inhuman amount of stimulation. And the only way back is boredom.

Everybody wants that great ass.

But I want the skills that made it great.
