People believing you're stupid is one of the biggest advantages you can have.

Keep this perspective when you lose something and you’ll have much more peace

How others perceive you is none of your business, as long as you uphold your integrity. Whatever they think of you has absolutely no relevance to who you are. Don’t live through the eyes of the others. What they think comes from their own shit. Their fears. Their ideas. It’s about them, not you. Don’t let their thoughts mess with your head when they don’t know you at all. They only know the version of you they constructed in their minds. You’re not here to make them happy. You’re not here to be what they want. When you start caring too much about what they think, you forget who you really are. Stick to what feels right to you. Do what comes from your heart, not from wanting them to like you. Their words, their looks and their thoughts about you don’t matter at all. Don’t let it get to you. You came here alone. You’ll leave alone. Everything in between is yours. Their opinions don’t belong in your life. You decide who you are. You make your choices. You know your worth. Don’t let them tell you how to be. You are and will always be the center of it all. Never forget this.

Never get into any situation where you have to tolerate somebody treating you with less respect than you deserve.

Youre depressed because you arent doing anything meaningful.

Youre lazy because youre arent working on any viscerally exciting projects.

Youre distracted because youre attempting to do too many things at once.

CHANGE YOUR CONDITIONS TO CHANGE YOUR CHARACTER.

A man is the sum of his actions
What you do is who you are

Every man is presented with two choices by God:

1. Train hard every day on your body, mind and soul. Suffer from discipline as a result.

2. Stay comfortable and safe. Suffer from the regret of never finding out what you could have become.

Overthinking is the sign that you need to cultivate more courage to act.

You need to put yourself in physical situations where you won't have a choice but stay focused and get things done.

There is no growth without skin in the game, and you can waste so much time being misled by a timid mind.

That's why moving abroad and being fully accountable for your fate is transformative.

That's why having kids who solely depend on you is transformative.

That's why overcoming life-threatening situations is transformative.

That's why taking big financial risks with your own money is transformative.

That's why struggling alone in a society that only rewards people who are already winning is transformative.

Old people who didn't grow much were not necessarily stupid, they were just the people who were afraid: of wasting time, of losing freedom, of getting hurt, of losing money, of falling behind.

Luck begins to favor you when you realize you NEED to put yourself in uncomfortable situations

Pick up the phone, send a risky msg, offer help to a stranger, start the biz you have always wanted, and don’t be afraid to ask for a raise

Luck favors the bold & those who take risks

Your life changes the moment you realize most barriers aren’t real. They’re self-imposed. The biggest gatekeeper to your dreams usually isn’t money, credentials, or connections. It’s the belief you don’t belong. You can decide they don’t exist the same way you decided they did.

Not every comment deserves a reaction.
Not every insult belongs on your plate.

Silence is a weapon.
The moment you stop reacting, you take your power back.
The pause? It puts you in control—of the room, the moment, and yourself.

Kobe Bryant woke up at 4AM for 20 years. Not because he loved mornings but because he loved winning more than he loved sleep.

Discipline is choosing what you want most over what you want now.

Have you noticed, every time you level up, you lose something. A habit, a friendship, a version of yourself, it's not loss, it's you evolving.

Getting unnecessarily emotional only creates more problems.

Stay cold.

Stay cerebral.

Never let unaccomplished people judge your accomplishments.

Your philosophy of life determines the quality of your life.

Avoid bitterness
Avoid envy
Avoid negative people
Avoid small thinking
Avoid trying to please everyone
Avoid people who are crap magnets
Avoid blaming everyone

Study what philosophy creates the BEST life.

The fastest way to become insanely confident is to become dangerously competent.

Sign of a high-value man:

Never getting defensive when offered advice.

Always listening carefully.

Even if you already know what they are going to say.

Especially if.

You don't need to be aware of what's happening in the world.

99.99% of it is all noise.

You need to only be aware of moving the needle of your life.

Everything else is bullshit.

The most dangerous person in the world is the one who continues to show up every day even when the rewards are not guaranteed. Your potential is determined by the amount of uncertainty you’re able to tolerate and how long you can tolerate it for.
