Less Wobbly

Published on August 21, 2022

In a world that’s ever changing, perfect life balance isn’t possible.

So, don’t beat yourself up when your priorities feel lopsided.

They always will.

Rather, accept it as your ongoing reality and keep using signals of imbalance merely to adjust.

What starts out as massive shifts in weight that take large spans of time to make will eventually iterate into micro adjustments that happen in quicker and quicker snaps of time.

The goal shouldn’t be perfect; the goal should be less wobbly.

The Anti-To-Do List

Published on August 11, 2022

Rather than thinking about what you can ADD to your to-do list…

Think about what you can SUBTRACT.

The reality is… we do WAY too much stupid stuff every day.

And by eliminating more of the stupid stuff… VOILA—you’ll have more time for the not-stupid stuff.

Which is ultimately what we’re really after when we make to-do lists isn’t it?

Subtract Your Way To Success

Published on August 8, 2022

In a world that’s constantly trying to get you to do addition:

  • More money
  • More followers
  • More tasks

Commit to doing more subtraction instead:

  • Less materialism
  • Less vanity
  • Less busywork

Addition, now more than ever, is the modern day toxin—and subtraction is the antidote.

Your Job Description:

Published on July 29, 2022

It is not your job to:

  • Fix other people
  • Do somebody else’s work
  • Solve other people’s problems
  • Carry other people’s burdens
  • Be accessible to others 24/7

Your job is to do you and handle yours…

So that you can do some of the above things with pleasure—not resentment.

Less Time

Published on July 14, 2022

The more tired you are…

The LOUDER the excuses get.

Prioritize rest.

Even if more rest means less time.

Because more rest also means less wasted time.

And time wasted is the ultimate loss.

The Busy Strategy

Published on June 30, 2022

Be so busy showing gratitude, that you forget to complain.

Be so busy producing, that you forget to consume.

Be so busy growing, that you forget to compare.

Be so busy trying, that you forget to criticize.

Be so busy with love, that you forget to hate.

When you get yourself busy with the right things—the rest fades away.

No Weakness

Published on June 11, 2022

We don’t succeed because we have no weaknesses.

We succeed because we fully utilize our few strengths.

Trying to eliminate all weakness is a waste of time when you could be using all of that time to massively improve upon your strengths.
