How people treat you when they can no longer gain anything from you is the truest reflection of how they feel about you. Listen to your intuition.

Don’t underestimate the power of verbal gratitude and appreciation for your loved ones. A genuine thank you, I love you, and I see the work you’re putting in can go a long way in making their day better.

Sunsets over the horizon will never get old.

I roll my eyes when people call me to gossip and analyze someone else’s life and decisions. I simply have zero interest in participating. If you call me, ask me how I’m doing, what projects I’m working on, what I’m looking forward to. I will of course ask you the same and it will be a nice conversation. The easy thing for many is to analyze other people. The hard thing for many is to analyze yourself.

I used to love studying, playing, and thinking about poker. It was the perfect combination of math & psychology for me in my 20’s. After years of keeping a beginner mindset and learning everyday, eventually people started to say I was the best player in the casino. Whereas the people who got into the game for the money or fame (the end result) were consistently breaking even, losing, and more importantly unhappy and stressed. After taking a step back, I’ve realized it’s a common theme I see across all industries: The result you want is more likely to come when you release the attachment to it and instead just genuinely enjoy each step it takes to get there with a smile on your face. And once you make it to your result, you may realize the fun part isn’t the destination at all. It was simply the journey you took to get there. Because you were just having fun doing what you loved. I believe if you spend your time doing what you truly love, you’re rich in more ways than money will ever buy. In my opinion, this is how you will you know you’ve “made it.” You realize there isn’t a destination to get to. You are fully present doing what you love. You have an internal state of peace. To me, this is true success.

Bickering & arguing with the ones you’re closest to is a complete waste of time. Take a deep breath. Listen with compassion. Speak with love. Encourage & empower your family.

As a poker player, I would express myself primarily through my betting, and almost never through my voice. After quitting three years ago, I would get nervous when speaking in front of a group of 4+ and had trouble clearly articulating myself with confidence. I knew it was something I wanted to improve. Three years later, somebody today told me I’m a natural after taking my upbeat vinyasa class. I smiled and said thanks knowing deep down it’s not true. It’s obvious to me that you can make your weaknesses your strengths if you are willing to work little by little everyday. Small progress compounds massively.

Extended breaks from technology to unwind, relax, and reevaluate is so healthy for you. Disconnect to reconnect.

The best days in your life are still ahead of you. Stay patient, grateful, and optimistic. And remember to smile & enjoy each moment. PV.

Really enjoying guiding others through a somatic yin practice. So powerful to take intentional time to slow down, breathe, & disconnect. Always learning, growing, & improving 🫶

It is much easier to cultivate true joy in your life when you know deep down you are living to your fullest potential. Don’t hold back. Make the most of every day you have.

If you’ve been stuck between two options for weeks and genuinely do not know which to pick, choose the option that will liberate you more.

When something outside of yourself triggers you, it means you are triggerable. See this as an opportunity to dive deep into it. Why are you allowing something external to shift your internal state towards anger, frustration, etc? You always have the power to control your reaction to everything. Do your best to remain calm & centered no matter what is happening “out there.” It is from this centered place you are able to make clean & clear decisions that improve the life of yourself and those you interact with.

If you’re an intelligent & logical bitcoiner, you need to be dumb-maxxing more. Spending too much time overthinking and overanalyzing things online isn’t healthy for you. Play recreational sports, try a dance class, do some breathwork, go to a health retreat, do yoga or qi-gong in a park, smile & nod what’s up to everyone you see. Life is genuinely better when you feel more, think less, and begin to tap into a flow state.

Connecting to your breath during times of stress & anxiety will always be one of the most important things you can do. Place your left hand on your heart and your right hand on your belly. Close your eyes & breathe slow, deep, intentional breaths for a few minutes. Allow your exhales to get slightly longer with each breath. Use your breath as the doorway back to your center. Express gratitude for what you have. Make decisions from this calm & centered place. Much love.

Clarity doesn’t come from overthinking. It comes from creation. Take action. You’ll discover what you like and what you don’t like. Build momentum in what you like. This momentum will turn into confidence, and the newfound confidence you gain will change your life.

If anyone ever asks you to help them heal, you must first ask them if they are willing to give up the things that are making them sick.

Living in a perpetual state of fear and worry is a terrible way to live. Put yourself outside of your comfort zone, try new things, continuously push the boundary of what’s possible for you and your life. Fortune favors the brave.

The fastest way to ignite the spark within others is to ignite the spark within yourself. People won’t listen to your words, they’ll watch what you do. Become the living embodiment of the values you wish to spread in the world. One example: If you want people to be kind, don’t tell them. Just be a kind person. All change first begins with the daily actions you take in your life.
