people underestimate how much of life is just increasing your surface area for luck: - travel alone & make friends - go to events where you know no one - show up to events where you know everyone - talk to people at your fav coffee shop - tell people what you actually want - share what you’re working on - follow up with people you liked - send the bold dm to the “big” person - make the thing before anyone asks you to - if you’re underqualified, apply anyway - help someone without making it transactional - be a decent, kind human to people - post the thing before you overthink it make it easier for good things to find you
Words
You seriously underestimate how much you can do with time. 1 year is a fucking lifetime. 6 months is enough to go from 0 to 100. Even 1 week of full commitment 14 hours a day is enough to push the needle so far forward you won't even recognize yourself. Just do more. Just do what your heart desires. Just be better.
You'll regret it if you get married, you'll regret it if you don't get married. You'll regret it if you have kids and you'll regret it if you don't. Kierkegaard said this 200 years ago as follows - whatever you choose, you'll regret it, because the problem isn't in your choices, it's in romanticizing your life. A person always finds an untravelled path alluring and mysterious. That's why the issue isn't making the right choice. It's choosing and deciding which regret you'll live with. In life, we must choose our regret.
be confident in the depth of your curiosity not in the depth of your expertise
To be successful you have to be different
You sensed that you should be following a different path, a more ambitious one, you felt that you were destined for other things but you had no idea how to achieve them and in your misery you began to hate everything around you
