Stoic Self

Hello, we're back.

Worry is a down payment on a problem you may never have.

Feedback determines strategy, not self-worth.

What you think other people think about you is what you think of you.

You don’t stop learning at a certain age. Fresh knowledge will forever reshape your sense of the world.

Being wrong is education. Staying wrong is a tragedy.

Trial and error is the ultimate way of learning. Wanna learn faster? Increase the rate at which you try new things. Progress is in finding errors.

If you limit your worries to things you can act on right now, you'll have nothing left to worry about.

Small problems are a convenient distraction from the major problems you fear to tackle. Don’t repaint your car when the headlights don’t work.

Better to be ashes, than dust.

If you can worry yourself sick, you can think yourself strong.

The obedient seek an easy answer. The curious seek a hard question.

Some people are all about drama. Negative or positive feedback is the same for them. They just want a reaction to feed off of. Don't give away your energy.

Your emotions are information, not orders.

You stand in your own way and then complain about the obstacles on your path.

If you look for something to complain about, you will find it. If you look for something to be grateful for, you will find it.

@ReflConscious For most people, the opinions of others build their self-image. But if no one told them, they wouldn’t know. What would you say about yourself if there was no one in the world to listen?

@thejustinwelsh Average people brag about how hard they work. Successful people brag about how little they work, and still produce 10x more. A smart animal is one who can gain more resources while spending less energy.

You aren't rewarded for hard work. You're rewarded for creating something of value. So don't work unnecessarily hard on something that you haven't validated people want. Instead, run small experiments over & over again until you have a few strong outcomes. Then double down.

@EgoDriv No one has experienced the things you have, the same way you have. You have something to teach everyone. And everyone has something to teach you.

Being myself is my superpower. God blessed me with the gift of unique identity and I leverage it every single second I live.

@MillsReggie There 8 billion people on Earth. All of them will be dead in 120 years. Don’t let the fear of what others may think stop you from reaching for your goals.

"Be thankful, you are blessed. Life is too short to be so stressed."
