The "worst" investments of your life aren't about losing money, they are about the personal growth that you never lived through, and the thrilling stories that you never wrote, just because you lacked the courage to believe in something at least once in your life.

A lot of problems in society actually come from people who hadn't fixed their own internal problems but who somehow decided that they were going to "help" others.

The life you don't have is the energy you don't want to spend on building the highest-energy version of yourself.

Now that everyone has access to the whole accumulated knowledge of mankind, and could in theory easily learn everything they need to know in order to become their best and happiest selves, it's going to become obvious as most people don't change that the problem was never access to knowledge, but intellectual curiosity, good taste when it comes to what they choose to learn, and self-respect when it comes to how they spend their free time.

Your anxiety actually disappears once you become a version of yourself that actually has agency. There is not much to worry about when you know that building the life you want is only a matter of time.

Taking care of your health, being financially responsible, having ambitious goals that make you grow into a confident person, these are actually the prerequisites for long-lasting relationships and friendships; bonds get destroyed when either side becomes too mentally unstable and insecure, or when they no longer take responsibility for where they are in life and feel entitled to a bailout, or when they have too much free time and start engaging in pointless drama as a result.

There are a lot of people who got wealthy “accidentally” because there’s no way they could have become proper employees, so they decided to walk alone on an entrepreneurial journey and they made it because they had no other choice.

It’s much easier to get wealthy by investing in the talents of others than from your own; but the most thrilling life that you could live, and the most confident and happy version of yourself that you could experience, always involve investing in your own talents until you get the growth and the results that you want, and they actually often have nothing to do with money directly.

The most meaningful experiences aren't sought after, they happen to you while you are working on meaningful goals, and meaningful goals always involve other people.

Many people play the victim thinking that the rest of the world will feel compassion and help them, when it should be obvious that no one cares: no one likes to hang out with someone negative and self-absorbed; when you "play" the victim, you actually call bad luck upon yourself.

The best investments of your life were always ridiculed by the crowd during the best buying timing; you should only pay attention to the consensus to make sure that you aren't part of it.

The most common cause of average performance is the arrogance of thinking that you don't need to be full-time, fully committed, fully ready to make sacrifices, to start getting competitive on the world stage.

The world is full of people who started earlier, are smarter, more talented, better than you, with better work ethic and with more financial and social resources, who failed nevertheless.

To get lucky, and stay lucky, is actually applied humility.
