Appreciate everybody who’s ever poured into me, they put me in the position where I could feed a neighborhood and then some…and that’s always been the real goal!
i am begging some of you to become ok with hearing not-so-great-things about yourself. especially if it is coming from a loved one that historically respects your agency. chances are you unknowingly crossed a boundary & someone is trying to tell you in a respectful way.
MrBeast says tipping a pizza delivery driver $10,000 led to the best reaction he’s ever seen
“I tipped a pizza delivery guy $10,000, he didn’t really react too much, but the next day he came back and I was like oh God, was he gonna ask for more money”
“I open the door and he just started crying, he was like I didn’t even think this money was real, I just took tomorrow off work and I haven’t seen my kids in so long because I work every day, I just gotta spend a day with my daughter, this is the greatest day of my life”
“I’m opening the door about to be like bro I don’t have more money, and then he hits me with that and I just 180’d so quick, better than when I give people a million dollars, nothing beats that one”
Secret weapon in life: a fast forgiveness cycle. Not for their sake. For your CPU. Every grudge is a background app consuming resources you need for the next chapter.

you must create because the thing you’d make doesn’t exist anywhere else. nobody has your exact combination of experiences and wounds and obsessions, which means the work only you could make is genuinely irreplaceable. if you don’t make it, it simply never exists. the world just goes without it, never knowing what it missed. that’s the most exciting thing about being you. the thing is waiting and you’re the only door it has.
