Go into the heartache. Go into the pain. Go into the major thing you’re avoiding. Sit with it. Feel it. It’s not there to punish you. It’s there to liberate you.

Don’t underestimate the power of hitting rock bottom. It feels awful in the moment, but usually it ends up being one of the greatest gifts for your journey. Keep putting one foot in front of the other.

The people who surround you can inspire & empower you or they can completely drag you down. Choose your circle carefully.

If you were given factual information that you have ten years left to life, would you do be anything different in your life? If so, what would shift?

Too many people today are afraid to fail. Embrace failure and rejection with everything you have. Success is a lousy teacher.

As someone who was completely empty playing poker for a living, I believe true fulfillment comes from solving problems you care about, not just the ones that pay well. Staying in work that doesn’t speak to your soul might pay the bills, but it empties your spirit. It leaves you feeling hollow, restless, and disconnected from your deeper purpose. Start aligning your skills with causes and creations that actually matter to you. When your work reflects your values, success stops being something you chase, it becomes something you embody.

Nobody can compete with you at being you. Let your light shine in your unique way. That’s your superpower and your edge. Don’t hold back.

Becoming the healthiest and most peaceful version of yourself is the greatest gift you can give to those you love. Your energy speaks louder than your words. When you level up, you invite the ones you love to do the same.

The best students become the best teachers. The best teachers learn the most from their students. True mastery isn’t about knowing it all. It’s about staying open, curious, and humble enough to keep learning.

A day without laughing or smiling is a day wasted.

The fastest way to remove suffering from what I’ve personally found is to be completely present in the here and now. Close your eyes, take 3 deep breaths, emphasizing long exhales. Open your eyes. What do you see? What do you hear? Really feel the ground beneath you. Can you be in a complete state of gratitude for what you’re experiencing? Remember how lucky you are to be alive today. Do your best to remain in this frequency for the rest of the day and night. If you drift off, just come back with the same routine. Much love.

If you don’t believe in yourself, why would anyone else? Everything starts within you.

If you are content alone, you are at such a massive advantage. You stop seeking people, possessions, or achievements to fill your void. You go from needing connection to choosing it. Everything you engage in will come from a place of fullness, not from a place of lack. That’s when you become unshakable.

Creative thoughts are more likely to come to you not when you think more, but when you think less.

Every choice shapes your character. • Purpose > pleasure • Generosity > greed • Integrity > image • Courage > comfort • Discipline > distraction • Awareness > autopilot • Clarity > chaos • Mastery > mediocrity Choose your path.
