Just like it's really hard to downgrade your lifestyle after you got used to a certain level of comfort, it's really hard to compromise on your relationships once you realize that there are actually a lot of thoughtful, smart, generous people out there, people who will never bring any drama and anxiety into your life, only joy and gratitude for the opportunity to connect with such kindred spirits.

The wealthiest life you could live always involves a healthy lifestyle, because there is no way to build great long-term relationships with others unless you have your physical and mental health in order first.

Own assets that give you more freedom and peace of mind, not "assets" that burden your schedule and mental health.

You don't want to be owned by what you own, and you don't want to upgrade your lifestyle just to realize, too late, that you actually downgraded the quality of your life.

Create an environment where you can afford to ignore the whole world for a few hours every day, use that time to unapologetically invest in yourself and in what you do best, you will naturally attract more “luck” into your life.

Nothing builds up resentment and envy like not having a clear goal to work on every day.

The fastest way to figure what you actually want from life is to get what you think you want. Your dream neighborhood, your dream job, your dream marriage, your dream family, your dream life, it’s never quite like how you imagined it, and that’s precisely what makes life so fun.

You can have a healthy lifestyle and still feel low-energy if you constantly let yourself consumed by unnecessary thoughts or drained by one-way relationships.

Being constantly high-energy usually means that you are very good at filtering out what you don’t need in your life.

When you face painful failure, you can either play the victim, or you can tell yourself that someone who had ten times worse circumstances than you achieved ten times more, precisely because they hated playing the victim and chose to take responsibility for their position in life

The quality of your time alone is the quality of your mind, and the quality of your mind is the quality of the people you attract.

Being incapable of original thoughts is the symptom that you don't spend enough time alone. You consume too much information, and you don't train your creative muscles enough. You need to write, you need to think about problems with non-obvious solutions, you need to be bolder with the kind of conversations with yourself that you are ready to have.

Nothing good ever arises from chasing other people, you should only work on becoming the best version of yourself, then be ready to take the jump and commit to the opportunities that you will now increasingly attract.

You will struggle to reach your goals as long as you get distracted by people who tell you what your goals should be. A lot of progress begins with ignoring the rest of the world.

Getting rejected is actually a privilege.

Few people tell you what you truly need to hear.

Painful words are nothing compared to a life with no growth, no change, no progress.

You are lucky if your life is full of rejections, that's the path toward your most authentic self. https://t.co/tmzhEuEqHB

The most common way of actually "wasting your life accomplishing nothing" is ironically, when you are afraid of wasting your life accomplishing nothing. You end up living the life that other people set up for you. You make few mistakes but also learn nothing. You never discover who you could have been, because they never had the courage to push your limits and explore life in unconventional directions.

You only have time to be mentally unstable and emotionally reactive when you have too much free time. Smart people focused on clear goals don't throw tantrums every time they don't get their way. The world doesn't revolve around you and no one cares. Stay calm, understand your problems, and fix them. There is no other way.

It's easy to be clear-minded when you genuinely enjoy writing.

It's easy to be fit when you genuinely enjoy training.

It's easy to be wealthy when you genuinely enjoy learning about the society you live in.

It's easy to be loved by your family and friends when you genuinely enjoy spending time with them.

It's easy to be creative when you genuinely enjoy free time alone.

It's easy to make progress when you genuinely enjoy the process that leads to the goal.

It's easy to grow as a person when you genuinely enjoy doing the hard things for your current self.

It's easy to inspire others when you genuinely enjoy your own life.

A lot of people who say that money isn't that important to them because they value their time with their family more,

seem to forget that financial security actually improves their relationships:

they aren’t constantly stressed out or worried about unexpected expenditures,

they can afford to invest in themselves and become a happier version of themselves,

they have time to listen to others, be supportive, and actually care.

The best investments of your life are never found in what everyone else is already currently chasing.

You only need to experience the healthiest version of yourself once, and you will never understand how anyone can trade short-term pleasure for long-term peace of mind.

A lot of smart people are afraid of writing and publishing online because they assume that whatever they can think about today, it will be dwarfed by the perspective they will have a decade from now, but it's often untrue.

At every stage of your life, you have a valuable perspective to offer. You'd be surprised by how useful your "immature" writing can be, even to your future, more mature self.
