A lot of people don’t realize there is bulking foods and cutting foods
Steak and pasta to bulk
Chicken and potatoes to cut

The most successful people I know don’t have better ideas.
They have a higher tolerance for discomfort.
They’re simply willing to sit in the mess longer than everyone else.
I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
i adopted "stick with the plan, not with the mood" at the top of the year as my theme for 2026. i have never attended so many events, been so fit, ate so healthy, produced so much work, pulled so many opportunities out of thin air, IN MY LIFE.
40 years of age is midlife in absolute terms based on actuarial tables.
Because of how we experience time, it’s more like 60-70% of life is gone.
Each year moves faster.
That’s why I keep reminding people. You’re not young. You don’t have time. Gotta getting moving.
Imagine a restaurant chain called “Macros.”
You walk in, tap your target macros into a kiosk — protein, carbs, fats, calories — and choose your preferred ingredients: chicken breast, rice, potatoes, greek yogurt, eggs, vegetables, etc.
The system instantly designs the optimal meal to hit your numbers exactly.
Then a cook behind the counter assembles it Chipotle-style, weighing every ingredient on a scale down to the gram.
Fast food for people who track their calories.
@DeanTTraining why aren’t you doing this?
When GOD wants to turn a boy into a man.
He doesn't comfort HIM.
He crushes him with failure, betrayal, loneliness, heartbreak, and rejection.
That's not a punishment.
It's a FORGE.

After reflecting deeply on this governance process, a few things are clearer to me than ever.
Cardano is alive. The community is engaged. And that matters more than any single vote.
But this process has shown me something important: Cardano's governance is real. You are not passive holders. You are owners. That is exactly what we built this for.
It has also reminded me that when Cardano has needed it most, the Pentad delivered. IOG, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Midnight Foundation, and Intersect have proven they can coordinate and bring critical integrations to life when the ecosystem needed it. That coordination layer matters now more than ever.
So let me show up the way I should.
I will be in Singapore for the Cardano Summit and I will be on stage. I am also personally committing to partially top up our Token2049 sponsorship to Title level. Being on that main stage is where Cardano and Midnight need to be heard.
To the Pentad, I am inviting all of you to sit down and have a real conversation about the future of governance and how we formalise this coordination going forward.
I am 100% focused on Cardano and Midnight. Always have been. Let me prove it. #strongertogether
You're a man. Forgive your parents. Forgive your ex-girlfriend. Forgive your former boss. Forgive your fake friends. It doesn’t matter how bad they wronged you. Grudges hold you back. Never revenge, heal, and move on with your life. That shit delays your blessings.
