In the movie Arrival, the way a group of aliens talked dictated the nature of time and space itself. Because this species didn’t have the language to describe the past and future, they could essentially time travel. Why am I bringing this up? Because it’s an extreme example of one of the most important aspects […]

Do you know how to think? How often do you spend time actually thinking? Do you spend time analyzing not only your thoughts but the way you process them? Most people spend the vast majority of their time doing absolutely no thinking at all. You think you think a lot, but really, your mind is […]

I remember feeling like an electric jolt went through my entire body. What happened? I checked the Facebook page of the website my friend asked me to write my first article on. A few dozen people “liked” my blog post. That single moment and a few subsequent moments change my life forever. I started writing […]

Allow me to describe your life for you. I’m going to take a shot in the dark and guess you live in Western Civilization. You don’t live in a third world country. You don’t have to worry about where your next meal will come from. You’re not at risk of dying from diarrhea. You have […]

“Work at your job and make a living. Work on yourself and make a fortune” – Jim Rohn Self-improvement is the cheat code to life. Once you understand it at a deep level, the entire universe opens up to you. No, reading self-help books won’t magically turn you into a millionaire, but it’s not a […]

I care about you more than almost anyone in the world outside of my family and friends. Well, maybe not you specifically, but the entity you represent. The creator, the dreamer, the aspiring hustler.

Can you ever know if you’re making the right decision for your life at that moment? You have conflicting priorities. On the one […]

You can’t build a better future until you solve this problem first. What problem? You don’t have a motivation problem. You don’t even need inspiration. And, you definitely don’t have a laziness problem. No, what you have is a much deeper problem. You can’t get over the past. From the micro to the macro, you […]

“Easy for you to say.” Those five words have stood out to me quite a bit recently. Especially after an experience I had the other night. Like a bajillion other people, I watched the Joker movie. He’s a loner with clear mental health issues, no social skills, a strange relationship with his single mother, and […]

“Anytime someone says ‘I’m not doing it for the money’ is 100 percent doing it for the money.” – Nassim Taleb Desire is weird. It’s hard to truly know your motivations for your behavior. By definition, your beliefs have to come from a  blueprint that you didn’t create. Do you want to have a better […]
