Pretending to faint to see how animals react

She literally explained why you must keep going. Whatever you’re going through… just don’t stop. It gets better. Keep going.

abuse your unfair advantage everywhere everyone has it > if you live in your mom's basement w no responsibilities, work 12 hr days > if your know a guy who knows a guy, call that guy > if your parents paid for ur college, invest your time in up-skilling urself you were not raised to be a bum life isnt an even playing field all the "winners" are not playing fair to catch up you have to identify your unfair advantage and abuse it

David f*cking Goggins, what a line… “When your entire day is fucked up, make sure that you achieve something positive before lights out. You’ll probably have to stay up a bit later to read, study, get a workout in, or clean the house. Whatever it takes to go to bed in the black, get it done.“

Eskridge: “I can learn a new field in 3 months”

STUDY HARD. No matter if it seems impossible. No matter if it takes time. Wake up early and start studying for your future. Just remember that the feeling of success is the best feeling in the world.

Your 20s will teach you that you’ll be alone on the saddest day of your life but the sun will rise again and you’ll live

dont forget to imagine the best case scenario, too

literally just going for a walk can solve the majority of problems

Right now, your only priority is getting your life back on track and becoming the best version of yourself. Don't stress about who stays or who leaves. This season is about finally doing what's best for you.

Probably more productive to stare at a wall for an hour than watch reels

Pick a goal big enough it’s worth suffering for rest of the year.

If you want to achieve anything great, it needs to become your one true priority. The only thing on your mind. Nobody accidentally got rich from business. Nobody accidentally built a great physique. They were obsessed with it for multiple years until it became their default.

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

REAL TALK: The moment you decide you’re meant for more, life starts giving you more.

Action produces information.

BE AS IRRATIONAL AS POSSIBLE. BE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE IN YOUR ACTIONS. TRUST GODS PLAN. BELIEF COMES FROM ACTION = PROOF

A HARVARD psychologist says: “if you’ve achieved nothing by 25, you’ve avoided the most destructive illusion of youth” > In 2021, a Harvard psychologist surprised a lecture hall with an unexpected statement: “If you haven’t accomplished much by 25, you may have escaped one of youth’s biggest illusions.” At first, the room laughed. She wasn’t kidding. > The illusion of early success. In your early 20s, the brain seeks quick proof of worth ~status, attention, rapid achievements. But psychologists warn that chasing recognition too soon can lock people into roles or paths they never consciously chose. They decide too early… and spend years trying to undo it. > The exploration phase. Research on career development suggests that people who explore more before 30 often build stronger long-term directions. Testing ideas. Making mistakes in public. Changing course. At 25 it looks like confusion ….but by 35 it often turns into clarity. People who feel “behind” in their mid-20s frequently gain something others miss: Perspective. Patience. And a clearer sense of what truly matters to them. That foundation often leads to better decisions later on. At the end of the lecture, the psychologist left the students with one final thought: “You’re not meant to have life fully figured out at 25.” “You’re meant to discover who you’re not.”

Consistency will change your life. Consistency will change your life. Consistency will change your life. Consistency will change your life. Consistency will change your life. Consistency will change your life. Consistency will change your life.

In 2 years you really can be somewhere you never imagined, that’s why it’s so important to keep going.
