Action without direction is mere activity.
A required reading for a way out of a distracted life👍
Being fit is the ultimate flex. You can’t steal, borrow, buy or inherit it. Putting in the work is the only way to get the rewards to show for it.

It is said we have about 70,000 thoughts everyday. Even if 1% of those are post worthy, that would mean ~700 posts per day.
Maybe, Neuralink can make something like this possible.
A true stream of consciousness (at least the interesting and relevant bits).
To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour.

The mouth that chants god’s name, shall maintain it’s sacredness🙏💐
Moves me every time I read it👌
I don’t love writing, I love the idea of having written.
I’m surprised at how often the answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT to the question of, would I value or agree with this billionaire tech bro (if he wasn’t a billionaire).
Remember, just because somebody is rich doesn’t mean they’re right (Nothing against the rich, not that they’d care😜)
Most people are their truest selves much more on Reddit than they are in they’re in their most intimate relationships.
Happy Vishu to one & all. May this day be the beginning of all things auspicious 🙏🙏🙏

Saying No
Is something we all struggle with.
Have you ever wondered why?
It’s because we value being liked way more than being respected.
Now I know many of you will read that and think, not that’s not really me. But, the truth is what you think (about yourself) and how you act are at odds more often than not.
If you want to say ‘Yes’ to life, you’ve gotta say ‘No’ to all that isn’t.
Its not possible to live full and focused life while also doom scrolling away to distractions.
The question you’ve really got to ask yourself is are you a Dopamine junkie, looking for quick hits throughout the day and killing yourself one second at a time in the process?
Or are you someone harnessing the power of the happy hormones to live at your peak potential?
The most successful people said ‘No’ almost all the time. Jonathan Ive, who designed some of Apple’s best products shares his learnings from Steve Jobs on saying No and the meaning of focus.
Another Individual who’s known for focusing on one thing for Decades and has written a book about when to say Yes and No to what’s on offer is Derek Sivers. I find his framework quite helpful in making this binary decision.
I found this system to be most effective in saying No. I’ve used it parts of it myself quite often. The best part it still allows you to maintain a healthy relationship going forward with burning the bridges just because you wanted to focus.
So the next time opportunity knocks on the door, don’t be wishy washy with it but be FOCUSED.
