“To get what you want, you have to deserve what you want. The world is not yet a crazy enough place to reward a whole bunch of undeserving people.” – Charlie Munger You only get what you feel entitled to in life. If you believe you deserve certain outcomes, on a long enough time scale, […]

Just once, I wish someone would run up to me looking frantic and say: “Ayo, I need to know the distance of the line of sight from my eyes to this nearby flagpole.” Look, it’s easy to rail against the education system, but it does not good to dwell on the fact that there are […]

I recently watched a YouTube video where the guy in it said: “Entrepreneurship is a form of mental illness.” Not that it needs to be said, but in 2020 it does — he means it in jest and is saying it tongue and cheek. The core insight behind this message, you have to be a […]

How much time do you spend thinking about the past? Not just your mistakes, but the things that happened to you, the random chaos the comes your way, all of it? How many of us suffer almost solely due to the way we focus on and interpret the past? The past can be many things. […]

Most people who see me speak in public or on camera, or by observing the tone I write with, probably wouldn’t know this about me, but I’m quite introverted. I like performing and being in front of people, but when it comes to 1 on 1 interaction and social gatherings, I’m actually prone to be […]

You’ve worked on your craft, hobby, or business for so long that you barely remember being a novice at all. You’re on go-mode and autopilot at all times. While everyone else gets tired, you keep going. I […]

Sometimes, […]

On the other hand, we don’t do everything possible to help ourselves live better lives. From a logical perspective, this makes no sense. But one of the biggest […]

Let’s take a look at my life just a few short years ago. I had a 0.00 GPA the first semester of my senior year in college. You read that right, I got F’s in every single one of my classes. I didn’t bother going to class at all. Oh, did I mention I dropped […]
