Conduct an experiment: Pretend. Pretend that you’re capable of more. Pretend that you’re destined for greatness. Pretend that everything you do will work out perfectly for you, with or without your conscious effort applied. Pretend that every single thing in the universe is coordinating together for your maximal growth and enjoyment. Just pretend.

I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day. A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on. The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine. And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday. It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.

We should all stop with this modern obsession of having a perfectly balanced, optimised life (8 hours sleep, daily cardio + gym, eat well, deep work, etc.) Most exceptional lives are heavily overallocated somewhere and any pursuit of greatness (in business, art, sport, research)

A pivotal moment in every RW anon’s life is when, on your quest for answers about why things are the way they are and how the world works, you come across knowledge that has been hidden from you. You soak up everything you can find, and the more you learn, the more the world makes sense. Why nations fail, income inequality, crime rates, IQ, everything starts to click. You conclude that it must be the truth, or at the very least close to it. In the excitement of your discovery, you want to share it with everyone around you and explain how things actually work. You naively believe people want to know the truth. Once you start telling them, you are met with anger and denial. You’re confused, because you’re simply sharing knowledge that disproves their worldview, but the more you share, the more they resist and begin calling you names. That’s when you realize the truth doesn’t matter to the average person, and in a world built on lies, the truth is a dangerous thing to speak.

@alreadydawn Bro decided to book a place to stay near one of the best national parks of the country during peak season and complains it’s not cheap lol

Hardest part of portfolio management is not being right. It’s staying alive long enough for being right to matter.

The more detailed you are about your "dream life", or as I like to say, "future reality" (because it is 100% going to happen), the more likely you are to actually achieve it. You want to state it as if its a fact. This is the mentality you want. If it's just some vague I wanna hang out with friends and make money, it's not really a compelling direction or vision to move towards. You want something that's so big and so compelling you get excited and feel viscerally compelled to move towards it each and every day. It should be so exciting you want to jump out of bed at the thought of working towards that future reality and building what you need. It should be so real it's as if you are stating a fact when you tell it to other people: This will be my future." It's the same thing that Steve Jobs did with his "reality distortion field" or also called "frame" He believed in his vision so strongly he warped other people's perception of what's possible into believing that the impossible is possible. If you don't believe in your future with this level of conviction, It'll be difficult to get other people on board. And I don't know about you, but all my future visions require other people to be a part of it. The future is a fact. I'm just waiting for reality to catch up. My only job is to work towards it each and every day and keep an open mind to how I will achieve it.

thinking about how Nolan’s movies all are about how the most tragic thing in the universe is the act of losing precious time to be with the people you love and getting genuinely emotional

AFFIRM: EVERYTHING I TOUCH TURNS TO GOLD. I SUCCEED IN EVERY REALM, ON THIS EARTHLY PLANE AND OTHERS. I BRING PEACE LOVE AND PROSPERITY TO ALL THAT I COME IN CONTACT WITH. I AM A MASTER OF MENTAL ALCHEMY AND EASILY ACHIEVE ANYTHING I SET MY MIND TO.

I made a new rule for myself in which I'm not allowed to worry And if I catch myself worring, I immediately shut it down Never doom. You can simply reject fretting

@mcvalor_art @Eziowl @SakanaAILabs 😭😭 I chuckled

@MustStopAnt Thinking about you is forever a banger

A man’s worth is no greater than the worth of his ambition

I think it’s time to revisit the accredited investor laws in the US. Companies are staying private longer, where only accredited investors (aka rich people!) can invest. Retail investors can only come in after IPO, when much of the upside has already been captured. These rules were created with the best of intentions, to protect regular people from scams - a noble idea. Unfortunately, in practice they've often made it illegal to get richer, unless you're already rich. A regressive tax! We have to judge policies based on their outcomes, not on their intentions. These are two possible routes I see: 1) Replace the rule with something merit-based, like a financial literacy test. Pass it and you're accredited. Having a qualification based on competency rather than your bank balance or income seems far more fair. 2) Remove the rule entirely. Let consenting adults assess their own risk. Disclosure requirements stay and fraud enforcement stays to punish bad actors.

@murphysmadness5 @MichaelDell @sarahadams That’s 3% of their net worth lol

250 years old. Rocket ship IPOs. New York is winning again. Trillionaires. American soccer looks good. European minds are visiting, comprehending. How can you be pessimistic about the USA?

My favorite @elonmusk quote that I often send friends: Do not fear losing. “You will lose,” Musk says. “It will hurt the first fifty times. When you get used to losing, you will play each game with less emotion.” You will be more fearless, take more risks.

When I give my savings to @elonmusk they multiply. When I give them to you and all of the US government, they disappear.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.
