excellence is the repetition of the same mundane actions over and over until they pile on top of each other enough to reach criticality. beyond that, the difficulty of the action remains the same, but it is qualitatively different—it’s magnitudes more sophisticated. that’s why excellence looks easy—because it is. only for the excellent person, of course.

i swear to you: i never saw new year’s resolutions ever work. why? because you cannot postpone “transforming yourself” to a future date. there’s a performative contradiction in that. alan watts: “if you plan to change your life, you mustn’t let the devil know. if you tell him, ‘starting tomorrow, i am going to be a different person,’ he will say, ‘oh really? we’ll see about that.’ and he will start making his arrangements to trip you up.” your new year’s resolutions, for them to work, have to happen NOW. in the eternal now. in real time. no postponing or putting off. yes, new year’s resolutions work at any time BUT the new year itself. you have to be ready to take any call to transformation as it comes. God will call upon you when you least expect it. beware.

The purest reason to make something is not to make money and not even to make the thing.

It’s to have the experience of making the thing - and no one can take that from you.

Feeling embarrassed by your past work is not a sign of incompetence. It’s a mark of growth.

Regretting your prior decisions doesn't reflect poor judgment. It reveals new insight.

Cringing at your old opinions doesn't display ignorance. It demonstrates an open mind.

A little something to fuel you for the rest of the year:

“In 1983, Prince walked off the stage at Madison Square Garden to a roaring crowd. Most artists would celebrate. Prince went straight to the studio, recorded until sunrise, slept for an hour, then called his band and said: Let’s do it again.

That wasn't a one-off. Prince worked like that for decades. He wrote a song a day, played every instrument, produced every track and released 39 albums.

While others chased hits, he stockpiled greatness. By the time he died, his vault held over 8,000 unreleased songs, enough for a new album every year for the next century.

Prince didn't just master music, he let it consume him. That's what made him immortal.”

Underrated life skill: Listening without waiting to talk. You’ll be shocked how much people tell you—if you actually let them finish. What folks want isn’t advice. It’s your attention. You don’t win people over with your story. You win them over by letting them finish theirs.

Something about underdogs winning. Brings me so much joy every single time.

I believe a lot of the genz hyperfixates on knowing more, reading more than on application of that knowledge.

They can quote Dostoevsky, listen to the smartest podcasts on scaling startups, have memorised all of Carl Jung and Freud's theories, are deep rooted in pop culture, have immersed themselves in all the self-help books on offer.

But...but that's where most of it ends. Almost feels like all this information is gathered to flex on the internet and at parties.

It can't be a mere accident that schools and universities don't teach kids about nutrition and money.

Calling yourself 'educated' because you went to college is like calling yourself 'holy' because you went to church.
