Your emotional attachment to a person is not driven by how long you have known them.

It is driven by the intensity of the experiences you have shared with them, and the degree to which the conversations you have had with them were about things that actually matter.

Steve Jobs explains why motivation can't be forced:

“I've never found in my whole life that you could convince someone who doesn't want to work hard to work hard.”

Being able to see the good in people quite literally makes you more successful in life.

When someone leaves a tiny hint about an insecurity they have about themselves it becomes very easy to subtly and authentically reaffirm them in the flow of conversation.

This alone will make you extremely likeable and your presence becomes addictive.

You find people just go out of their way to help you in a subconscious effort to repay you for how you make them feel.

Say you notice the girl who's quiet and shy so you compliment her smooth voice or her unique and gorgeous accent.

The guy who always wears black and baggy clothes and you mention he's looking especially trim today.

A cheeky wink and delicate touch as you pass by someone that you know rarely gets romantic interest the more specific it is the better.

It becomes very easy when it's genuine since you've trained your eye to see the good in people and your tongue to effortlessly vocalise it.

Nature has declared this rule inviolable:

Those who give more to life often find that they get much more from life

Darkness will rule over your Soul

until you find Light inside yourself.

You cannot find it anywhere else.

It cannot be learned from any book or teacher.

No amount of Wealth or Power can get it for you.

If you do not understand...I cannot save you.

Sometimes There Needs To Be A Double Standard

Because Sometimes 2 Things Are Different

When you find yourself struggling with a problem or being annoyed by something this week, stop for a moment and ask: “Is this problem being caused by something I value? If so, is it worth having the problem? Am I happy to have the problem?”

Every significant thing in your life will come with trade-offs....

The trade-offs you're willing or unwilling to make, will determine everything about your professional (and personal) success.

"He can only get away from death by continually stepping within an inch of it. A soldier surrounded by enemies, if he is to cut his way out, needs to combine a strong desire for living with a strange carelessness about dying. He must not merely cling to life, for then he will be a coward, and will not escape. He must not merely wait for death, for then he will be a suicide, and will not escape. He must seek his life in a spirit of furious indifference to it; he must desire life like water and vet drink death like wine."

- G.K. Chesterton

Be stubborn about getting the life you want but flexible about how you build it.

Your first path won’t be your last path. Stay open minded.

Adjust as needed.

If you keep doing things with all you've got, one of them will work out.

Going all-in on things over & over again.

Most people just don't have the stamina for that.

If you do - you claim the prize.

Listen to what the other person has to say, before you express disagreement with them or hatred for them.

ACTUALLY LISTEN, then explain why you disagree.

This is obvious, but that which is obvious is often under appreciated.

The most valuable asset you own isn't money.

It's your ability to think clearly in a world designed to confuse you.

Mental clarity is wealth.

Staying alive and not advancing your mission,

is like being 'Just Friends' with a beautiful woman.

Why would you bother?,
