The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you're not careful it's too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth.
40 is coming, and you'll be weaker, bones will ache a bit more. Do it while young.
sorry to break it to you but you literally have to face your fears and slaughter them. otherwise you will live a small life that you do not want. you literally have to view your biggest fears and attack them head on. you have to fall into the abyss to find your way out. the easy path does not exist. there is no get out of jail free card. you have to allow yourself to die a spiritual death over and over again in order to reinvent yourself into the person you are actually supposed to be. and you have to be painfully honest with yourself and the people around you. it’s horrible but it’s truly the only way.
There is a sickness going around where we believe the ultimate goal is a million dollars and a personal brand. It's a trap. The actual dream?
Just enough money to pay the bills, a craft you love, 1,000 readers who truly care, and shutting your laptop at 5:00 PM to go eat dinner with your family. We don't need empires. We need our lives back.

8,000,000,000 people on Earth. Almost no one knows you exist. The few who do are too busy to care. Relax. No one’s watching. Dear son, Go build your life.
Uncommon advice: If you don't know what to pursue in life right now. Pursue yourself. Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself. Then the right path will reveal itself.
No one is coming to stop you.
You can just do things and 99% of people won't give a f*ck. The haters are a minority. The people cheering for you from the sidelines are secretly everywhere.
There are very few roadblocks.
There will be failure and rejection, but honestly, they feel great when you see them as necessary.
Women will reject you too. Show them through your actions why they're wrong. They will change their minds.
The worst failure is never trying.
Thinking you're too good or you will do it later. No you freaking won't. Show the world your value or the world will show you poverty.
The only barrier to entry is the voice in your head that keeps you stuck in indecision and encourage you to chase dopamine instead of progress.
Only you can stop yourself, which also means you hold all the power. Be crazy young man. Chase obsession.
Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It’s very important that you see that journey through.
