My consistency in weight says everything about my life. Boring and predictable. Investing only in things that I know is true. Not always looking for best. Sticking to basics.
1. More income than expense
2. Balance food with energy. Nothing in extreme
3. Evaluate risk vs reward before every new decision.
4. Balance recovery with stress.
5.Rarely influenced by marketing gimmicks.
6.Don’t do anything where I will lose money
7. Do business or invest in companies which I understand.
8. Firmly believe in the present. We have no clue what’s going to happen in the future.
9. Self love first.
10. Don’t experiment with things that rarely matters - clothing brands or coffee flavour as an eg.
11. Value every relation. I have experienced it first hand relative role in relation keeps changing.
12. Every situation- good or bad - ends with the believe जैसी प्रभु इच्छा।
13. Let the experts do their job. Whether designing my room or managing my money. Don’t try to bring my intelligence on things I am not master enough.
14. Don’t argue. Never on social media for sure. It’s impossible to change anyone’s perception by arguing.
After 3 decades of listening to his doctors, my father ended up with diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
After 3 years of listening to his son, my father ended up 40lbs lighter and cancer-free.
Here are 39 health secrets his doctors forgot to tell him:
1. Stop doing diets that have a name.
2. Carbs don't make you fat - too many calories do.
3. Your physical health and mental health are not two separate things - they are reflections of one another.
4. The only *permanent* hack to drink less alcohol is to build a life so good you no longer feel the need to escape it.
5. Working out 3-5 days/wk is more sustainable long term than 6-7 days/wk.
6. The only equipment you *need* is your body.
7. Drinking diet Coke is significantly healthier than drinking regular Coke.
8. Resistance training is far superior to cardio for fat loss.
9. The only “diet” that works is a high-protein one.
10. Eating protein before carbs is the easiest way to crave less carbs.
11. Skipping workouts to spend more time with your family shortens your time on earth with your family.
12. Self-deprecating humor is a sign that you are not mentally healthy.
13. Exercise is a documented antidepressant - use it as such.
14. Most hunger scares can be cured by drinking water.
15. Sodium is not killing you it is keeping you alive.
16. Your habits make you fat not the “fat gene”.
17. Constantly wearing running shoes weakens your feet, core, and lower back.
18. Train your back and your core 2x as much as everything else.
19. Wear blue light glasses or put your phone in “night mode” to improve your sleep quality.
20. Take cold showers or ice baths periodically to increase your stress tolerance.
21. Cardio is less about fat loss and more about strengthening your heart and mind.
22. Eating your protein first will prevent you from overeating elsewhere.
23. Nuts are not a “healthy” snack. They are high fat, high calorie, and easy to overeat.
24. Lifting weights is the most effective workout method to lower your body fat percentage and improve your health.
25. Just because something is “vegan” does not mean it’s healthy.
26. Intermittent fasting is not a magic pill. It works because you eat less food.
27. Working out is not just for looks. Your body is the temple of God and you should honor it as such.
28. Stop waiting till your next doctor's visit to weigh yourself. You can’t manage a problem you avoid confronting. Weigh yourself daily instead.
29. Having no routine on the weekends is saying your goals don’t matter 29% of the time.
30. Turn the room temperature down to 68 degrees or lower at night. We fall asleep faster in colder environments.
31. Eat slower. It gives your body time to secret Leptin, the “I’m full” hormone.
32. Find an active hobby you enjoy and participate in it regularly.
33. Stop picking up your phone as soon as you wake up. Mindless morning scrolling starts the day off with unnecessary stress. Wait 30 minutes to check your phone instead.
34. Stop sleeping on your side, it deteriorates your shoulder health over time. Sleep on your back instead.
35. Don’t drink coffee as soon as you wake up - but don’t drink coffee in the afternoon either. Both extremes mess up your hormones.
36. Men operate on a 24-hour hormone cycle. Our drive is highest in the morning. Take advantage of this and work out before your family wakes up.
37. Mindless snacking is less about hunger and more about your lack of emotional control.
38. I’ve never seen anyone keep the weight off long-term without accountability outside of themselves. Share your goals with other men.
39. Motivation is fleeting - you must establish proper default actions to actually be consistent.

5 Years Ago, I opened the first page of The Psychology of Money
5 Years Later, I've quit my 9-5 and won't have to work a day past 40
These are the 10 key takeaways from the book that completely reframed the way I think about money
Remind yourself - “I am a happy being. I thank God for His powers & blessings always. I thank my body for being perfect & letting me do everything. I thank people for their role in my life. I thank the 5 elements. I thank the objects I use. I am grateful for my beautiful life.”
Lessons that I learnt late in life
1. लोग क्या कहेंगे does not matter
2. You don’t have to wait for retirement or certain wealth to enjoy life
3. करने में सावधान, होने में प्रसन्न - Plan and do best u can, don’t worry much about the outcome.
4. Never stop learning. अगर आपके पास बहुत अच्छी job हो या पैसा- फिर भी Keep upscaling at every age.
5. Keep hope. जो होता है अच्छे के लिये होता है।
6. Toxic people will never change. Let go.
7. You don’t need all the money you are trying to save.
Kaveri where she joins the sea at Poompuhar. Because of numerous dams on her, she became like a stream by the time she reached the sea. This year after excess rainfall in Tamil Nadu, she is a sight to behold.
She is the lifeline of Karnataka and TN from the time of Sage Agastya!
