Without a question, there is no need for an answer.

Beliefs ≠ Operating system

Taoism does not address expectations. Stoicism does. Carry a tool belt.

Been feeling like shit for a week. Waking up groggy, low energy, etc. Really focused on improving diet, getting exercise and sleep quality. Last night, I went to a concert. Got the shit beat out of me, super rough crowd (I love it). Got home super late and ate two quarter pounders from McDonald’s. Woke up feeling like a million bucks. Explain that.

Your ideal self is NOT a to-do list. It's a frequency.

Being conscious is fucking weird.

@BobbyFlowState People are waking up!

Attending a wedding in New York. Told everyone I quit drinking 6 months ago. The response was either: 1. "same here! I love my sleep" OR 2. "that's awesome, I'm trying to do the same" this is in New York...

@BobbyFlowState @dvassallo Hell yeah!

The @dvassallo effect 🤩

Being busy 𝙞𝙨 the time to practice mindfulness. Move fast. Stay calm.

Shrinking your circle doesn’t mean losing value. Trading quantity for quality is usually a win.

Bad habits are tools. Humans are smart. We solve problems with those tools. Replace bad tools with better ones.

“Root causes” is the perfect name. They’re buried deep. Start digging.

Knowledge kills creativity. Not learning. Thinking you 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬.

Fuzzy problem, fuzzy solution. Clear problem, clear solution.

Thoughts in your head are useless. Export them. Organize them. Use them.

“Hey, that’s biased!” Let me take a look... I’ll just overlay my bias to check if it’s unbiased.

All “woo-woo” can be explained by the placebo effect. The only way I can explain the placebo effect? Magic. I’m not a doctor. I guess I’m a wizard.

All wisdom explains the human operating system. The problem? That system makes wisdom hard to apply.
