If you think you’re above or below anyone, you’ve already lost. Show respect, humility, and care to all humans.

It took me until my 30’s to see it, but surfing is definitely the truth. I resisted it for a while, but there’s no going back. The bug has officially been caught. One of the metaphors for life it’s taught me: you will crash and fall, but if you can get yourself back up, bliss is waiting.

There’s nothing someone can give you that will make you more. There’s nothing someone can take away from you that will make you less. You are whole and complete right now. Feel it, believe it, embody it.

Start everyday in self-care mode. Some ideas: movement outside, morning surf, intentional & slow breaths, gratitude for 5-10 things in your life, journaling for 20 minutes, walking for 30 minutes. Anything that helps you connect to yourself & the day ahead. It’s from this centered place that we can create epic stuff in this world that are aligned with our goals and our purpose.

The words you speak aloud carries weight and gravity. Notice if you are putting love into the world, or if you are putting fear, shame, and guilt into the world.

You can do anything you want to in this life. If someone tells you otherwise, it’s just them projecting their owns fears and worries onto you. Break free.

If you’re unsure, pause, breathe, & feel into. Take some time to listen to yourself. Then decide.

Spend four hours by yourself in nature at least once a week. This intentional time away is a great reset for your mind. Four hours alone will show you what four hours of scrolling hides.

Contribute to people’s lives in a positive way using your gifts. Extracting from others in zero sum games leads to misery and depression. A purposeful life is the best life.

Just a friendly reminder that it’s okay to be disliked. By letting the ones who don’t belong go, you’re creating space for the ones who are meant to be there. Your authentic self is enough for the right people.

One of my favorite baseball players from my time growing up in California, Garret Anderson, passed away unexpectedly today at age 53. Life is short and can be gone at any time. Do what you love & don’t look back.

Respect is interesting because if you crave it from others, you’ll likely never receive it. The key is to consistently make decisions you respect on a daily basis. The true test is if you can look at yourself in the mirror and say you respect yourself, you’ve made it. Once this happens, you’ll likely begin to not care about others respecting you because self-respect is the most important thing you’ll shift your attention to, but that’s usually when they start to.

That quote “some people are so poor all they have is money” hits so hard. Be wary building a life that looks rich but feels empty deep down.

If I want to be remembered for anything, it’s to spread love, kindness, & compassion out in the world, both to yourself and others. The reality is we’re only here for a limited amount of time. Are we really going to spend our time upset, pissed off, and bickering, especially to the ones closest to us? Return to love. Retun being kind. Show compassion to the ones around you. Pura Vida.

Bitcoin can be great a tool for improving your external world. But one of the best investments you can make is in your own growth as a human being. A mentor, a retreat, the right environment. Anything that helps you see yourself clearly. Because a lot of what holds people back isn’t a lack of money. It’s the unresolved chaos going on within: various fears, distractions, avoidance, self-doubt, & unnecessary worries. And until you face that, it will keep showing up in your decisions, your relationships, and your ability to feel at peace in your daily life. Stacking sats can change your external circumstances, but mindset work changes how you live & how you show up in the world.

Posting content consistently online is not something I’d ever thought I’d do, but after 15 months consistently posting here on nostr, I can say it’s been one of the most fun projects I’ve ever worked on. Excited to keep sharing my thoughts with you all.

Happy Sunday everyone! Spread some kindness & positivity out there today. Let your good vibes ripple outward and change someone’s day for the better.

My best @paul keating impression

Hanging out with guys who are connected to their purpose is the best. Grateful for these two!

The people in your life affect your energy more than you think. Pay close attention to who drains you and who leaves you feeling revitalized.
