Random contemplations

Some of these may sound bullshit, or even new age woo woo, but I don't give a fuck. It's all personally tested and proven.

• Having money changes you.
• When things happen too fast, no one can be sure about anything, not even themselves. Stop and start over.
• Everyone is trying.
• It's better to be overdressed when nervous.
• Having an audience changes how we perform.
• We become what we surround ourselves with.
• We only grow when it hurts.
• There’s No Such Thing as "Quality" Time.
• This too shall pass.
• Almost every decision can wait a day or two.
• Don't try too hard.
• Most of our memories are made up.
• Hard Drugs (including alcohol) will destroy you.
• If you do what most people do, you'll get what most people get.
• Pets will love you until they die.
• Money will go away if you don't use it wisely.
• You need less than you think.
• Sometimes, silence is more worrisome than words.
• Stop caring and accept it.
• Sleep is the only way to truly recover.
• if they are praising you too much, it's a warning sign.
• Life is never fair. Deal with it.
• Almost every decision can wait a day or two
• Have at least one secret that no one knows.
• Try to find someone who is OK with who you truly are. Keep them around.
• Productivity is not the grail. Zero in on focus.
• Most life-changing opportunities are lucky-based. Don't let that stop you.
• The only way to truly convince someone is through long-term influence. If you are not planning on investing time in it, don't waste your energy.

• The best thing money can buy is access.
• Time is the only resource you have access to, and it's severely limited.
• Just give it 70 percent
• Accept what you are and, most importantly, what you are not. This changes over your life, and it's ok to drop anything that does not make sense anymore.
• Family is who you spend your time with.
• If you are happier traveling than getting back, something is wrong.
• Most people are genuinely insane. They just fake it well, going automatically through life’s motions.
