How much is #enough ? Do you already have it? #question #answer #minimalism #essentialism #simpleliving

I don’t think anyone outside of Leicester wants Tigers to win this game 😂 @premrugby #onlyjoking

If you could do one thing to help your partner, parent, boss or whomever, what would it be and how would you do it?

What does success look like to you? Now break it down again, what’s step one? #mindset #minimalist #minimalism #question #answer

To me, the worst regret isn't failing. It's knowing you never gave it a real shot. If you're going to start a business, quit talking about it at parties and actually start it. If you're going to write the book, stop researching and planning and use some gosh darn ink. If you're going to love someone, pour your soul into them. Be all in. No half measures. Fail spectacularly if you have to, because at least you'll know.

Dumb people argue to convince others. Smart people don't argue.

@DearS_o_n Keep it simple Or World class basics 👊🏻

Pitch me your best advice in 3 words

@SahilBloom This is such an important thing to remember and really nicely put! #minimalism #essentialism #simpleliving

I call this test my New Opportunity Razor… Here are the two questions to assess any new opportunity: 1. Do I like the winning version of this thing? Imagine yourself five years in the future. This new thing you’ve taken on is crushing it. You’re up there with the best at it. Do you like what that looks like as it relates to your life, time, and energy? In other words, if you make it to the top, are you going to like the view from the summit? This is a critical first step, because too often in life we climb a mountain for years, get to the top, and realize that we never really wanted the view in the first place. If you don’t like the life of the person in the corner office, you may want to think about that before you sacrifice 20 years grinding away to get it (or figure out how you’re going to do it differently, at least). If the answer is no, stop here and say no to the opportunity. If the answer is yes, proceed to the second question… 2. Am I willing to do the losing version of this thing for a long time? To earn anything meaningful in life, it’s going to take a long, long time. Probably much longer than even your most optimistic initial assumptions. An American computer scientist named Douglas Hofstadter once coined the self-referential adage, Hofstadter’s Law, which states: “It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.” So, knowing this, do you have energy to do the losing, bad, ugly version of this thing for a long time in order to earn the winning version that you like? You may dive into something because of the appeal of the summit, but you’ll never make it there if you don’t embrace the mud you have to crawl through on the climb. The people who have reached those summits have one common trait: They loved the mud. They obsessed over the details. They had real energy for it. When asked about how he had sustained his high level play for so long, tennis legend Novak Djokovic had a simple response: "I can carry on playing at this level because I like hitting the tennis ball." The summit is the grand slam championships. Standing on center court, holding the trophy high in the air. Everyone likes that version. But the way you earn it is through thousands upon thousands of hours of hitting the ball. In the cold. In the dark. In the rain. When nobody’s watching. When nobody’s cheering. When nobody cares. The losing version is the cost of entry for the winning version. The New Opportunity Razor has been a major life cheat code. The best opportunities for your life will pass this test. You'll love the summit and the mud you have to navigate to get there. When you find those things, go all in. Say no to everything else.

Often, the #simplest advice is the best. If you could give out one piece of simple #advice , what would it be and why? #simple #simpleliving #simplicity #minimalism #minimalist #question #answer #getinvolved #intentionalliving #minimalistlife

I would suggest - Essentialism by @GregoryMcKeown - The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by @Markmanson - Everything that Remains or Love People, Use Things by @JFM & @RyanNicodemus / @TheMinimalists

If you could recommend one (or three) book to your previous self, or someone else, which book would it be and why? #reading #learning #selfreflection #minimalism #minimalist

Could swap boring with simple. But maybe being simple is boring, or maybe, just maybe, that’s the point #simple #simpleliving #minimalism #minimalism

@AlexHormozi I thought it was mow lawns today, sleep with Gabrielle Solis tomorrow? 😉

Many people don’t take the first step towards their goals because they assume they have to do their first step forever. But it completely misses the idea of additive improvements. Mow lawns today to get the cash to spend on AI tokens tomorrow.

I call this, world class basics.

@stijnnoorman This is so true! Is that because being simple is difficult?

Dumb people are impressed by complexity. Smart people are impressed by simplicity.

What habit, belief or idea are you clinging onto in this new chapter of your life, that is no longer serving you? And, the opposite question is also true. What habit, belief or idea have you let go of in a previous chapter that may benefit you in this one? #Habit #minimalism

*how could you do less* Damn dyslexia haha #dyslexic #dyslexia

How could do less? Not right here, right now, but at work, in life etc. Less admin, less time spent cooking, less time spent working. We are obsessed with more, more, more. If one’s good, two must be better. What if that isn’t the case? #minimalism #minimalistlife #less

I think the most frustrating response to a question is ‘just figure it out’ or words to this effect. I struggle to understand where the mindset of this answer comes from. Maybe a more appropriate response would be ‘I cannot be bothered to answer or think about your question’

For so long, ‘object a’ used to fill the gap between desire and reality. I wish to become ‘x’ so therefore ‘object a’ will allow me to do so. Upon realising that this isn’t the case, it allows the bigger questions to be asked. Do I actually desire to become ‘x’? #minimalisms

What’s your ‘object a’ and why do you give it so much value?
