An independent artist who sells 5k first week with a core fanbase who’ll then sell 2,000 vinyls and go on tour is far more valuable and sustainable long term than an artist on a major label who sells 50k but is reliant on algorithms for people to hear their music Artist #1 values art and community while artist #2 chases viral moments and fame.

Your partner’s current life is your future life. “When you select a partner, whether you realise it or not, you are choosing a whole lifestyle, and not just the person. You’re choosing their sleep schedule. You’re choosing their money habits. You’re choosing their stress levels, their family drama, their levels of cleanliness, their work ethic, their coping mechanisms. All of these things will be a baseline of your daily life. If their normal is doom scrolling till 2 a.m., avoiding all conflict, impulse spending and never exercising, guess what? You’re signing up to live in that ecosystem. Love does not cancel out people’s flaws. In fact, love just makes you tolerate them for longer. Most people obsess over ‘do we have romantic chemistry?’ And they completely skip ‘can I live with this person’s version of Tuesday every week for the next 10 years?’ The hard truth is, you don’t fix somebody’s lifestyle from the inside. You either accept the package as they are or you walk.” — @Markmanson

My husband and I have a rule: If we wouldn't say it to each other's face, we don't say it about each other behind their back. Period.

Brutal truth: You’re living too much in the future, and that’s limiting your growth. There is nothing more indicative of future success than the ability to ignore what could happen tomorrow and focus on what needs to happen today.

If you attempt anything great, you will get hate. Period. But if the hatred comes from someone who represents the opposite of your values - then you’re doing it right. Zero. And I mean zero - great people had zero enemies.

What success is for you when you’re 20 will be different when you’re 30 and it will be different when you’re 40. And that’s okay. Changing your mind with new information is a sign of maturity, not inconsistency.

Solutions are like paintings... You need to apply coats of paint. Let it dry. Come back and look at it again. Then apply the next coat. Most business owners have the intellectual capacity to solve their problems, they just don’t have the time to let the paint dry. So they only think one layer deep. But all the alpha comes from the 2nd-nth coats. That's where the masterpieces come from.

The biggest reason the rich get richer (besides compounding) is they avoid things that don't make enough money. The more money you have, the more selective you are about which things are worth doing because fewer things move the needle for you. If you make decisions like you have a lot of money, you make more faster. This rich selection bias is arguably one of the most important because it denotes where they allocate their attention - and as a result - get more for what they put in. Opportunity vehicle selection, rather than pure effort, is why they get such high returns.

A lesson I’ve learned over the years: The quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life. First you shape your circle, then your circle shapes you. The best way to evaluate the intelligence of a leader is to look at who they surround themselves with.

Decisions only you can make for yourself: Who you love What’s work is worth your time Where you call home What “enough” means for you How much risk to take When to walk away If someone doesn’t have a stake in the outcome they shouldn’t have a say in the decision.

You can either blame your conditions or you can learn to win in any condition. But you’re gonna pass the time either way.

Something I’ve been working on this year is thinking with AND rather than OR. This person did this bad thing AND they’ve also done good things. This person got lucky AND they’ve worked hard. Your wife didn’t say thank you AND she has before. AND creates room for reality.
