Alex Harmozi took down his conversation with Tony Robbins because he didn’t want the exposure to be his legacy, but that was the most human he’s ever been. Most people build an entire life out of a trauma response and call it ambition. Yet they don’t realize this because they’ve never paused to understand and integrate their shadow. Ambition becomes their personality and the world rewards them for it while they feel disconnected and dead inside. There is a different way to live and achieve all that you desire without destroying yourself in the process.
I did my first 10 day silent vipassana meditation a few years ago
10 days straight without my phone
the following days I had improved attention I didn’t know was personally possible. I thought I had fixed my ADHD
I also felt a level of childlike wonder and presence I haven’t felt since 5

Your self-talk creates your reality. When I was sick to death in 2024 from 10 years of chronic pain that spiraled out of control, I kept telling myself I’m so fucked, my life is fucked, I hate this pain.
I went all in on healing, obsessing about my health and ruminating on negativity.
This led to a 14 month long depression that only ended when I constantly noticed and changed how I talk to myself no matter the circumstance. Talk to yourself like you are that mf who triumphs over anything.
Time affluence is the type of wealth you want. It’s the wealth that most high earners never get. The more they earn, the more responsibilities they bear, the more expensive their lifestyle gets, and the busier their lives become. What you want is abundance in time.
Guilt and resentment are energetically identical in one key respect: both keep you causally tethered to a past event, re-running it in the present, giving it ongoing jurisdiction over your future. Forgiveness isn’t moral generosity. It’s a severance of that link.
You have to walk around knowing you are that mf while also remembering that you are nobody who knows nothing. Highest levels of consciousness can simultaneously hold both.
You are always tense because you’re living life as if you need to justify your existence in this world. Live in the state of internalized self-love detached from the material world and you will find peace
I am seeing two of my best friends from Texas become exponentially happier ever since they became dads. Their energy is night and day compared to before they had kids. They say life has never been better. They have ordinary jobs, 9-5, earn less than 150k/year. I don’t see this level of joy and peace among any of my most successful Ivy League childless friends living in cities.
