If you want to help someone you love,
someone stuck in bad habits,
just give up.
I tried for years.
Words and reason are insufficient.
Most people are afraid of learning.
All you can do:
Be successful and happy yourself,
and hope your enthusiasm is contagious.
Your time has monetary value to advertisers, influencers, and Netflix.
It should have a deeper value to you.
It is your life.
Don’t give it away too cheaply.
You don’t have time to “keep up” with all the irrelevant ephemera that marketers and manipulators want you to respond to.
TV can go unwatched.
Articles can remain unread.
Trends can fade away unnoticed.
Don’t react to things that don’t matter.
Make time for your life.
A few hours in the zone may be worth more than weeks in the haze.
Creative people should notice and cultivate the state in which they excel.
Crafting the conditions that promote excellence may not feel like important work, but it leads to important work.
Perfect the process.
