My 1st book was rejected by every publisher. I self-published: sold 50k copies. My 2nd book, rejected by every publisher except for one: It's sold 400k+ copies. Take your shot. Even if no one else sees the vision. Just do good work that will help others. And put it out there.

OH MY GOD. Gavin Newsom just reenacted Trump’s cabinet meeting. And it’s epic.

The magic is in that last 20%. Pain is the filter, few pass it.

There are all kinds of cheat codes lying around, but they usually look boring. People will routinely ignore things that already work for the hope of a slightly easier path. The cheat code is the work you're avoiding.

The most direct path to a fulfilling career is not to follow your passion. It's to follow your flow. Flow is the state of full absorption. When you're in the zone, you don't even notice that you're enjoying it. Intrinsic motivation lies in the activities where time disappears.

This is why you can’t be great and a people pleaser at the same time‼️

Parents who shield their children from the natural consequences of life, create adults prone to addiction. Consequences are life’s greatest teacher.

Many situations in life are similar to going on a hike: the view changes once you start walking. You don't need all the answers right now. New paths will reveal themselves if you have the courage to get started.

True friendship: you apologize to a friend you haven’t talked to in a while and they say “don’t apologize, our friendship isn’t that fragile.”

Excellent thread about social media.

Stop trying to hold people accountable. It’s one of the biggest wastes of time. You’re not here to teach or fix how other people how to behave. Focus on the only thing you can control: you. Then, watch your life get better.

For three years Australia has proudly supported the brave people of Ukraine in their struggle to defend their sovereignty against the brutality of Russian aggression and in support of international law. Australia stands with Ukraine. 🇦🇺🇺🇦

The path of mastery is almost always very hard and requires lots of time and unyielding commitment. Any long-term progression contains inevitable periods of boredom.

"I’m really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I'm inspired by the greats." Never apologize for being obsessed.

Men are so funny. We can’t even express our affection for another man without having to throw in a “no homo, ayo, pause” disclaimer. Then we wonder why our friendships don’t have the depth, connection and raw honesty that women have in theirs. Bro it’s fine to love your friend

Accept - then act. Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it. Make it your friend and ally, not your enemy. This will miraculously transform your whole life.
