An underrated benefit of doing hard things: If you try enough hard things you’ll eventually uncover your meaningful struggle. A struggle you can fall in love with. Joy in chaos. True flow. The hard-earned win. That's where you find the magic of life.

Most important rule for relationships: If you’re going to make a long list of traits you want in a partner, make sure you’re embodying them first.

Always carry yourself like your life matters. Because it does. Stand tall. Walk with confidence. Make eye contact. Take care of your body. Be present. Think independently. Listen before you speak. Bet on yourself. If you do that, the world will start bending to your will.

Simple is beautiful.

The best advice I got in my 20s: Nobody cares. I often wonder how many extraordinary people waste their entire lives fearing the judgement of people who were never even thinking about them. Nobody is thinking about you. They’re too busy thinking about themselves. Go do the thing.

I’m convinced that 99% of a successful marriage is just genuinely enjoying each other’s company. People make these long lists of traits they want to find in a partner, but so much of life just comes down to being kind and pleasant to be around.

Your entire life will change when you realize that stress and anxiety feed on idleness. When you take action, you starve them of the oxygen they need to survive. The answer is found in the action.

The single greatest challenge for any ambitious person is eliminating the guilt associated with free time and rest.

The older I get, the more I realize that anything above zero compounds. Showing up consistently matters more than showing up perfectly. Small things become big things. Never allow optimal to get in the way of beneficial.
