I’m 30 today
In my 20s, I spent 3 years studying, 3 years climbing the corporate ladder, and 3 years building a startup from the ground up.

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone, and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom, for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.

"Every single person who wants to do something and has done something with their life has gone through the exact chapter that you're going through - 'The Lonely Chapter'."
Perhaps you're in yours... I had one too; embrace it.

Your relationship with others is a reflection of your relationship with yourself.
Treat yourself poorly; you will seek out and tolerate others who treat you poorly.
Treat yourself with dignity and respect; you will only tolerate others who treat you with dignity and respect.

don't tell people your plans
show them your results
i spent way too long telling people what i was going to do
sharing your plans gives you a hit
and this hit reduces your motivation to go get the goal
the more you tell
the more hits you get
the harder it is to go do it

Sometimes, when you do this, you will feel insane or be told that you are. Persist

In school, we learn that mistakes are bad and are punished for making them.
Yet, if you look at how humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes.
We learn to walk by falling down.
If we never fell down, we would never walk.

Finding your meaning in life does not require finding your meaning for the entirety of your life.
Figure out what is meaningful in life now, focus on that, and go all in without distraction.
Stop worrying about what meaning looks like for the rest of your life.
Now is enough.

Is AI destroying Art?
Tl;dr - we’re at a pivotal moment where protecting the creation of creativity is more important than ever
But AI is not destroying art - it’s decentralising creativity and offering new ways to monetise ideas

Successful people tend to credit a tonne of luck for they are.
Whilst you can’t change where you’re born or what you're born into, there’s a lot you can do.
Increase your chances of getting lucky with these steps.

One of my biggest realisations in the past few months...
Something I think so many fail to understand
There is a difference between being poor and being broke.
Being broke is opting to be temporarily poor, knowing it's a choice being made for a delayed reward.

Choose you're suffering, or your suffering will choose you
- health
- relationships
- money
- work
- time
- diet
- physique
If not, the suffering will choose for you, and you won't have the power & control to fight it...

You are shaped by:
- the food you eat
- the books you read
- the content you consume
- the goals you set
- the habits you stick to
- the people you're with the most
- the people you look up to
- the belief you hold
Make sure you're choosing all of the above...

As I get older, I realise emotional maturity has nothing to do with age
We assume as we age we grow in our capacity to understand people
Emotional maturity is found in listening, curiosity, solitude and regular reflection

You can't do everything simultaneously; if you try to, nothing is achieved or enjoyed to its fullest.
Be clear about what you want, and have priorities. Later in life, your priorities are more challenging to flex.

Be predictably unpredictable
Some people know what they want at a young age
Some keep recreating what they want
Some enjoy whatever they're doing
There are plenty of ways to experience life
No two people can be the same

8/ Be a constant learner
20s are for learning; 30s for earning
Focusing only on your paycheck will limit your value later in life.
Yes, earn whilst you learn, but the greatest benefits will come when you learn because you choose to... and make you more useful long-term.

Your 20s are a rare time when the outcomes of your decisions have a lesser impact than when you have more commitments, people to feed and pressure...
And remember, it’s not a risk unless you can lose the fight.

Constantly ruminating on what you want will exhaust you and leave you feeling paralysed by choice.
