@aashatwt Growing these tissues named muscles. Surprisingly, for carrying a Mac you don't even need much of them.

if you’re a digital nomad, how do you travel with your mac book? its literally 2.2 kg 😭

Perfection is the enemy of perfectly adequate. Most things don’t need to be flawless. They need to be sharp enough to work. The skill is not just chasing excellence. The skill is knowing when “improving it” has become a prettier way of wasting time.

The obsession with endless money often comes from having once felt an acute shortage of it. I understood this through something stupidly simple: my first iPhone. I bought the lowest storage variant (64GB). Within months, I knew it was a mistake. But the money was already spent, so I had to live with the shortage. Every photo, every app, every video became a negotiation. Later, when I upgraded, I walked into the store and asked for the highest storage model (1TB). They did not have it. I was willing to wait. The salesman told me something obvious: “You’re jumping from the smallest storage to something already massive (256/512GB). You probably don’t need the biggest one (1TB).” He was right. But I wasn’t reacting to need. I was reacting to the memory of shortage. That is what happens with money too. When a man has tasted scarcity deeply enough, his first instinct is not freedom. It is excess. He does not want enough. He wants so much that the old fear can never touch him again. And that is understandable. But it can become a trap. You don’t need to spend your whole life chasing the biggest number just because you once had the smallest option. A strong body. A calm home. Freedom to move. Freedom to help your people. Enough assets that one crisis cannot destroy you. That may go much further than mindless accumulation. Money matters. But only when it gives life back.

Freedom to move your body without pain. Freedom to buy something reasonable for your loved ones without doing mental accounting first. Freedom to wake up without crisis breathing down your neck. That goes much further than mindless accumulation. Money matters. But only when it buys life back.

Life is not about owning more and more material possessions. It's about living a good life. - Freedom to do what you want - Having family, children, friends, and a community - Good health so you are able to enjoy living every day - Enough assets so you don't have to worry about a crisis ruining you You need money to do all of this. But the idea that you must dedicate your life to accumulating money till the day you die is nonsense. You are not in a richest man in the grave contest.

"I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store. "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. "I worked for a menial's hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid."

You're not tired. You're bored of a life you didn't design. Exhaustion from meaningless work and exhaustion from meaningful work are two different substances. One needs sleep. The other needs a decision.

@SolBrah This is why I keep one hour of silence a day. Not meditation theatre — reception. The signal was never missing. The inbox was just full.

Pay ATTENTION to what is said in the conversations around you. God will orchestrate messages and synchronic that will inform you, guide you or inspire you - IF you listen! Getting out of your own head and being present is key to hearing this magic language.

I get this a lot "You have changed, you aren't the same" (with generally a negative undertone to it) I HATE THIS TO MY CORE. The whole point of human existence is CHANGE. Imagine being the same person after a week, a month or an entire year?!! Couldn't be me!! Either I will be the better or worse. NEVER THE SAME. Meditate on this.

Prolactin - a pituitary hormone regulated largely by hypothalamic dopamine. But persistently elevated prolactin, or hyperprolactinaemia, can suppress the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis: ↑ Prolactin ↓ GnRH pulsatility ↓ LH and FSH ↓ Testosterone or oestrogen Possible outcomes: • Reduced libido • Erectile dysfunction • Menstrual disturbance • Infertility • Galactorrhoea • Reduced bone density when hypogonadism is prolonged Common causes include: • Prolactinoma or another pituitary lesion • Dopamine-blocking drugs, including some antipsychotics and antiemetics • Hypothyroidism • Kidney or liver disease • Pregnancy and lactation • Sleep, stress and recent strenuous exercise causing temporary elevations A mildly abnormal result should not trigger an internet detox crusade. Prolactin is pulsatile and stress-sensitive, so clinicians may repeat the test under controlled conditions and investigate medications, thyroid function, macroprolactin and pituitary disease. Training still matters. Around 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity weekly, plus 2 resistance-training sessions, can improve insulin sensitivity, body composition, sleep, mood and sexual health. But exercise is supportive medicine, not a universal prolactin antidote. Intense training may temporarily raise prolactin. Fix the diagnosis, not a hormonal villain invented by the algorithm.

@naval Correct. Hard work is like oxygen — it won't make you rich, but try building wealth without it and watch how fast the meeting ends.

You won’t get rich just working hard, but if you don’t work hard, you won’t get rich.

@LifeMathMoney Big biceps, gassed in one flight of stairs. That's not a physique, that's a costume.

If you don't do cardio because you are "afraid of losing muscle" You have basically lost the plot. 1) You will lose almost no muscle by doing 30 minutes of cardio a day 2) The point of exercise and training is good health. And good cardio is a sign of good health. 3) A strong heart is more important than big biceps. Neglecting cardio is basically a low IQ move.
