I keep these short because 80 percent of the information tends to be in 20 percent of the content.

Non-accountability manipulation

Some people will project an image of themselves that is innocent in every way. That same person will hold you to high standards they don’t hold themselves to and manipulate conversations to keep accountability on you and away from themselves. Don’t make excuses for them or give them the benefit of the doubt when they…

The real self-help guru is you.

(Not financial or life advice) Goggins shared some golden advice on the Joe Rogan podcast #1906 on Dec 6, 2022. Hearing someone be honest and get to the point was refreshing. So many of these self-help gurus give you conservative advice, so it’s hard to say they are wrong and challenge them. The core of…

A foolish man will blame you for taking his foolish advice.

I was listening to a summary of “The Way of Monkey Book” and I thought I’ve experienced this a few times. This is also relevant I forgot where I first heard it and it’s paraphrased, “people carry their own trash and they will sling it on you and say you stink.”

You have to be part of your own rescue.

I was talking to a friend looking for ways to improve my interactions with people and told him about the times I tried to save negative people but they just took from me without changing for the better at all and he said they gotta participate in their own rescue. When I asked him if…

What you feed your mind becomes reality.

Recently I asked a man who’s younger than me how he has consistently been able to work 100 hours a week year after year. I wasn’t looking to copy his lifestyle and work 100 hours a week myself but I saw something in him and I wanted to learn from him. I listened to a…
