Most people who think that relationships are complicated are actually struggling to fix their own insecurities first. #orangebook #Relationships #Insecurities #Self-improvement

Growth begins once you have the honesty to admit that you are not satisfied with the current version of yourself. #orangebook #Growth #Honesty #Self-improvement

A lot of "talent" boils down to assuming that you have no talent, no particular good luck, that no one will help you for no reason, and that miracles don't happen. That's when you will shift to the right mindset of taking responsibility for who you are and where you are in life. That's when you will start clarifying and cultivating the right long-term habits and efforts. That's also when "good luck" and miracles may start happening. #orangebook #Mindset #Responsibility #Habits

Reality doesn’t care that you don’t have time to catch up with the knowledge that you should be up-to-date with if you want to intelligently navigate a fast-changing society. Ironically, the busier you are, the busier you will get. Make time to regularly relearn your assumptions. #orangebook #LifelongLearning #Adaptability #TimeManagement

Good parents are rare because so many adults are still children who still refuse to take responsibility for where they are in life, let alone another living being. #orangebook #Parenting #Responsibility #Maturity

The first step to raise mentally healthy children is to be a mentally healthy parent. #orangebook #MentalHealth #Parenting #Children

Acting like a victim is a mental disease. #orangebook #VictimMentality #MentalHealth #SelfAwareness

You somehow make a lot of people feel “uncomfortable” when you just mind your own business and chase an ambitious vision for your life. #orangebook #Ambition #Vision #Uncomfortable

When you don't take proper care of your own health, you are actually sending the message that you also don't care about your kids being able to grow up with parents who are high-energy, mentally stable, emotionally present; and as they are modeling their behavior on yours, you are actually actively failing their education. #orangebook #Health #Parenting #Education

Relationships get better once you no longer have to worry about money because you can finally have genuine conversations with no agenda, no time limit, no obsession around how to turn every idea into a business. #orangebook #Relationships #Money #Conversations

The end of life is when you start thinking that you are already too old to start anything new, take foolish risks, or invest unapologetically in yourself: the world is full of people who are alive without ever truly living, but it doesn’t have to be that way for you. #orangebook #Life #Living #SelfInvestment

Marrying someone you love and having plenty of time to raise your kids together, that’s wealth. #orangebook #Family #Love #Wealth

A lot of success in life boils down to how good you are at unapologetically ignoring all the things that won’t improve your life. #orangebook #Success #Priorities #Focus

It's obvious when you compare "old people" from very different environments with very different standards of efforts, that people with active lives, who keep learning, who keep pushing themselves physically and mentally regardless of their age, tend to remain young much longer. #orangebook #AgingWell #LifelongLearning #ActiveLifestyle

If you actually understand the value of writing, “the algorithm” or “AI” are the least of your worries. #orangebook #Writing #Value #Algorithm

It’s scary how the attitude of some people suddenly change when they know you have money or connections, and actually quite sad when you just wanted a genuine, non-codependent friendship, but they suddenly “disappeared” when they couldn’t get what they wanted from you. #orangebook #Friendship #Money #Connections

Anxiety is also what happens when you lack the courage to speak your mind when you know you should, and have been living your whole life that way. #orangebook #Anxiety #Courage #SpeakingUp

The "right direction" in life is a sequence of doing what you've been afraid of, over and over again; that's when growth happens naturally, that's when serendipity is amplified, that's when you gain self-confidence and build the life you want. @jetsetter328 Stay if you don’t mind who you are becoming, move if you do. #orangebook #Growth #SelfConfidence #LifeDirection

If you become more cynical as you get older, it actually means that you've been failing at life. #orangebook #Cynicism #Aging #LifeLessons

Not being able to maintain healthy habits as you get older is the sign that you are not serious about your goals and your relationships (or in so many cases, that you have no goal at all, or don't care about the people around you.) Leave alone the people who are so confused and directionless that they think that harming themselves with unnecessary substances and stimulations is a fun way to live life. There is no debate that the most high-energy and mentally clear version of yourself, who is capable of supporting a family or employees, requires a healthy lifestyle. #orangebook #HealthyLifestyle #GoalSetting #Self-improvement
