Real pleasure comes from overcoming challenges, feeling confidence in your abilities, gaining fluency in skills, and experiencing the power this brings. You develop patience.
Boredom no longer signals the need for distraction, but rather the need for new challenges to conquer.
never downplay your own achievements. you did it, you worked for it
it wasn't luck, it wasn't coincidence, it was you. you were the one behind this
be fucking proud of yourself
They will make fun of you for going to the event, listening and taking notes from the podcasts, saving up to buy a course, or help.
And by the time you prove them wrong, you realize their life is proof enough you were right
And you have nothing left to do but keeping doing you.
You are your own worst enemy. You waste precious time dreaming of the future instead of engaging in the present. Since nothing seems urgent to you, you are only half involved in what you do. The only way to change is through action and outside pressure.
over analysing the meaning of life is such an ungrateful mind frame to begin with
you've been blessed by god with the gift of life
you're the only conscious species in the milky way
you were born in the age of the internet which grants you endless upward mobility in life
you have infinite opportunities
money to make
people to meet
experiences to live through
and that's still not enough for you?
be happy that you even get to be here
When we’re young we spend health and time to get wealth.
When we’re middle aged we spend wealth and health to get time.
When we’re old we spend wealth and time to get health.
We spend what we have the most of for what we have the least of.
The real thrill of life is the unpredictability of outcomes.
Would be boring af if I already knew how my life would be in 10 years time, working that same job, earning that same same salary, having the same experiences.
Betting big on me is more fun
