“El verdadero signo de inteligencia no es el conocimiento sino la imaginación, leer demasiado después de cierta edad, distrae a la mente de su actividad creativa. Cualquiera que lea demasiado y utilice poco su propio cerebro cae en hábitos de pereza mental.”
—Albert Einstein.
Anxiety is often the gap between who you are and who you want to be, and as long as you refuse to raise the standards of your routine, your training, your habits, then you will keep stagnating, you will keep accumulating frustration.
Stop consuming what everyone else is mindlessly consuming. Stop starting over from scratch every few years. Be more selective with your relationships and take the time to reach out to thoughtful friends. Actually follow through with your long-term goals. In short: respect yourself.
That's not just the recipe of a more meaningful life, that's also the path toward peace of mind.
Signs that you are not serious about your ambitions:
- you refuse to geographically move where you know you should be
- you are not ready for any compromise or any sacrifice
- you never struggle with any difficult problem and don't grow much as a result
- you do a lot of things with no specific long-term purpose in mind, you chase short-term pleasure and short-term fun
- you waste a lot of time and energy in relationships that don't bring any new ideas or don't make you feel alive and full of energy
- you distract yourself by trying to help people who are not even trying to help themselves
- you give a lot of advice to other people that you would definitely benefit from applying to yourself
- you still live in the past, refuse to unlearn your self-limiting beliefs, still blame your childhood and past circumstances instead of growing up and moving forward
- you find ways to "kill" time instead of respecting the gift of life that you were granted and finally start living up to your potential

He writes a letter to his son:
“Hugo, I’ve been thinking about you these past few days. About what you felt when you saw me go down. I know it hurt you.”
El hombre que no sirve a nada superior termina sirviendo a cualquier cosa. A la opinión pública, al dinero, al miedo, al algoritmo, a la moda o al aplauso.
Vivir por algo más que uno mismo, ser influenciado por algo más grande que uno mismo es mantener un eje y una guía noble.
