Excellence is born from a form of letting go.
From a fluid presence that doesn’t tense up over the outcome.

JUST IN: 40-year-old American climber Alex Honnold has successfully completed his climb up the Taipei 101 building in Taipei, Taiwan. He reached the top of the tower in 1:31:35. The building is 1,667 feet tall making it the 11th-tallest building in the world. Wild.

@p_millerd Agreed! I used to listen to his podcasts back in 2021 while working out. Would recommend him for his genuine approach and honest opinion

Bring back genuinely sharing stuff you like.
Not everything needs to be a link swap.
Tim Ferriss seems to be the only big creator that just shares what he actually enjoys

I just deep-dived into Aesop - the brand charging $46 for hand soap and somehow making it feel like a smart daily luxury.
My breakdown of their playbook:
• Everyday hygiene → repeatable sensory ritual (not rare splurge)
• Next-level experiential retail: every store architect-designed (rammed earth walls in Park Slope!), staff even washes your hands
• Understated, almost academic tone + packaging that feels intelligent and tasteful
• Perfectly rides the ‘barbell’ consumer trend in 2026: trade down on boring basics, trade up on small things that elevate daily life amid inflation
Their stores basically do all the marketing. Brilliant positioning.
What’s your personal ‘trade-up’ daily indulgence? Fancy coffee? Premium socks? Good skincare?

The universe aligns with what you beleive. Believe that you can achieve greatness, act like it. The universe aligns opportunities that get you there.

Just listened to @Codie_Sanchez’s Big Deal podcast episode: "Stop Rambling: The 3-2-1 Speaking Trick That Makes You Sound Like A CEO" 🔥
Her go-to framework:
Pause for 3 seconds → Give 2 clear points → End with 1 question
Bonus tips:
- Speak calmly
- Gesture before you speak
- Open your rib cage & breathe deep
- Clarity > complexity every time
Game-changer for sounding sharp & confident.

Reminder: Taking action avoids anxiety.

91.4% of worries experienced by people with anxiety never come true.

Stillness is key to success. Course correct and fire on all fronts.

Reflection requires stillness. One cost of rushing from thing to thing is that you lose the space to think. Hard work matters, but nonstop motion often hides a quiet truth: you could have used your time better. If you never pause, you confuse activity with effectiveness. Make time to think. Walk outside. Sit quietly. Create space. Then move again, but this time on purpose.

@matt_gray_ The best workout is without any media. Raw dogging it. Trying to multitask often ends up in forgotten learning’s or half assed workouts. Great if you can achieve them simultaneously

@GrindeOptions Retire and do what. 2.5M is a weird situation. Work stress is not worth it, but it’s not enough to comfortably retire with the USD losing value

@wealth_director Looking back on 2025, I pushed myself, achieved, failed but most importantly kept moving

If you don’t look back on your past self and cringe, then you didn’t grow enough.

@Jayyanginspires Keep moving, mess or not, don’t get stuck

When you're impatient with results, every day feels expensive. When you're impatient with effort, every day feels like progress.
The 1% daily improvement method benefitted me greately this year. I have broken down this method in my series Sunday Learnings #2 - The 1% Rule.

"If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need."
Cicero - the Roman statesman, lawyer, and philosopher - on the power of nature and knowledge
Reading this on my 9 hour @Lufthansa flight. Already have the library now need a garden

Two questions I use to guide my X ‘Sunday Learnings’ series that we can all benefit from:
Do you learn from your mistakes quickly?
Do you stay in the game and keep trying?
English
The best type of risks to take are ones where (1) the worst outcome is manageable and (2) the best outcome is life-changing.
Look for opportunities where it won't kill you if it goes poorly, but you'd be blown away if it goes well.

@BonesawMD Don‘t chase after the imaginary timelines we create. Focus on what you can control and what gets you towards your goals. Everything else will fall in place eventually.
English
Your timing becomes perfect once you stop worrying about it.
It eventually clicks for you, and all that time you thought you wasted will make sense.
You had to do it.
Have more respect for your cadence.
