Poker is a game where people think you have to be incredibly smart or be insane at reading people. Those are important, yes, but more importantly is your ability to handle adversity. Can you handle losing thousands of dollars because you lost as a 75% favorite (aka got unlucky)? Emotionally, can you stay composed? Do you have the discipline to show up the casino tomorrow with a smile on your face even though yesterday went terrible? Do you believe in your skills which you acquired through your study habits? If not, you'll have a tough time.

Be more afraid of regret than rejection. Think of rejection as redirection. You are getting redirected to the right people & the right places.

Anxiety is caused by having the intelligence on what to do, but not having the courage. Fortune favors the brave.

Relationships fail when 1 or both people stop working on themselves — they both complacent, lazy, and stop putting in the effort they once did. Relationships succeed when both people continue to level up as a human. “The best thing you can do for me is improve yourself. The best thing I can do for you is improve myself.” If you combine that with two people who have the same values & going in the same direction in life, then it’s a homerun.

Sleeping with your phone in a different room on airplane is an underrated hack for yourself. It’s way easier to relax while in your bedroom, you minizime the EMF’s near your head while you’re sleeping, and it won’t distract you in the morning when you’re just waking up. Be gentle with yourself. Don’t blast yourself with blue light or a rush of people messaging you at 6am. It’s best to go outside, look into the sky so your brain knows it’s morning, take your morning slow, & wait 2 hours before checking your phone.

Most people take any job they can get because they are just trying to make their rent payment next month. You gain an edge on them by making a 5-10 year plan for your career, constantly improving everyday, and putting in the work even when you don’t feel like it.

Individuals grow & evolve through new experiences and new information. My goal is to help people grow & evolve through the lessons I’ve learned through in my life thus far. So many situations rhyme. I’m seeing a lot of similarities between content creation & poker even though I was highly skeptical of that last week. Life is about the journey. And I feel like this will be a fun one.

Going to sleep not too long after the sun goes down compared to staying up past midnight in my poker career has been one of the biggest game changers for my overall well-being.

There’s nothing more attractive to a woman than a man who knows who he is, knows where he’s going, and is kind & generous to all.

The world needs more of the real you. Who are you at your core? What’s important to you? Let your light shine & walk your own path.

Ask nostr: What are the current best practices for keeping my nsec safe? I wonder if there is a way to Seed XOR my nsec. Or create some sort of multi-sig, possibly with a hardware key. #asknostr

You know you have a good business when the guy who doesn’t like you still buys your product. Focus on solving people’s problems.

A man’s quest is freedom. A woman’s quest is love & connection.

Life gets a lot less stressful when you let go of the things you can’t control and just trust that everything will come to you when the time is right.

The same people who are anti-nostr are anti-freedom. We can all agree on this. They hold resentment towards the protocol, towards bitcoin possibly, towards you maybe. But it’s very likely they have resentment towards themselves in some way. They are not operating in a frequency of love and of harmony. Bitcoin & nostr are cool to me because they operate in sync with Mother Earth, in sync with nature, in sync with the frequency of love. They allow people to opt-in if they choose and they allow people to freely express themselves as they wish. My question is how do we on nostr, operate from a place of love, not only in our own lives, but also on this platform? I’ve read things like “it’s us vs them on ____ platform,” etc. To me this mentality is the frequency of division which is based out of fear, not love. It’s the same exact frequency the people against freedom oriented protocols are in. I feel like the cohort of “toxic” bitcoin maxi’s get a bad rap because, when you get to the root cause, they are operating in a frequency of division. I understand a lot of them don’t care about how they’re perceived — I’m not saying they should. They’re fine to be “toxic” and speak their mind freely, despite how it may be received by the other individual. I encourage them to be themselves. But I wonder if the messaging could be more loving, more inviting, & more patient. What I’ve learned in life is people respond way better to you when you accept them for who they are and can meet them where they’re at. Everyone is on their own journey in life. We have no clue what they’ve been through to get where they are today. If you can talk to someone with compassion about these subjects that a lot of you are so passionate about, then I feel adoption will speed up, less people will be against protocols like this one, and our species overall will trend towards harmonization quicker. Fwiw, I like the way @jack discusses these protocols on the clips I’ve seen. Cool, calm, and very loving. It comes across very well. It’s no surprise he is looked to as a leader in the space. I’m open for feedback and ideas. I respect everyone’s opinion and send you all love & abundance. Beau

Nobody knows their neighbor anymore. Community is the pillar of who we are as a species. We need more retreats centered around community, love, & doing cool shit together. From there, it’s easy to make the magic happen.

Be selective with who you talk to. Some people are just energy vampires. Focus on people you want to build long term relationships with.

It’s impossible to love another person unless you first love yourself. People can only meet you as far as they’ve met themselves.

Don’t underestimate the effect of several positive small actions. What you’re doing today to improve your life can pay off 10 to 100 fold in the future.

A woman who is tapped into her feminine essence radiates with beauty from the inside out & can make your life amazing.
