Let’s dive straight in:
Listen to the mainstream take on how to live your life — and do the opposite.
It’s quite incredible how totally ignoring what most people think is correct is often the right path.
From what I should eat to be healthy and happy to what I should invest in, the mainstream almost always gets it wrong.

My most significant gains have occurred following the alternative media and people often shunned as quirky or weird.
The most important skill is to remain calm when triggered.
Acting out when seeing red rarely led to anything noble or helpful to yourself or society.
The true heroes can keep a cool head when their senses are screaming.
This will save you more in life than anything else.
Your greatest asset is the degree to which you don’t think about yourself.
Those who get far develop an identity around doing things, as opposed to needing to feel ready or confident or any other shit that makes it about you.
Expect success to feel weird.
Most people never rise above the masses, either because they doubt themselves or because other people are subtly trying to bring them back to their level.

This is to be expected.
You will rise when you know it won’t be easy and drive through anyway.
Most of our diet is garbage.
Anything that is even vaguely processed or tampered with (pesticides) and devoid of nutrition is working against you.
This is why my diet of primarily animal products these days is laughably minimal in the context of modern society.
The closer your food source is to the farm, the better your mind and body will run.
The biggest opportunities are found in good habits, not good ideas.

Never take advice from someone who is less happy than you. Be polite, smile, and move on.
Most people want their perceived problems because it gives them an excuse to coast today.

I know that by being ruthlessly intolerant of excuses and always taking full responsibility for everything, I am no longer a slave to my inner bitch.
Boldness is a state of being that will serve you more in most situations than other states.
But you don’t have to feel bold to be bold.

Knowing ‘self-esteem’ is not accurate.
We grow up thinking we have a substance running through us that we can lose at any moment.
If someone is mean, we risk losing “self-esteem.”
Not if you realise it’s not a thing. It’s an idea.
We’re already whole, ok, and confident regardless of what others think or say.
Knowing this makes me relaxed and unstoppable.
Your greatest threat to happiness and growth is thinking your past experiences can affect your present experiences.
It’s in the mind.
You are not a hostage to what happened and what others said about you — unless you think it repeatedly.
When we get present, and focus on action instead of self-obsession, we win.
