Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth.

Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true.

Learn to sell, learn to build. If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.

Retirement is when you stop sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow. When today is complete, in and of itself, you’re retired.

Any belief you took in a package (ex. Democrat, Catholic, American) is suspect and should be re-evaluated from base principles.

A calm mind, a fit body, and a house full of love. These things cannot be bought. They must be earned.

In that absence, for a moment, you have internal silence. When you have internal silence, then you are content, and you are happy.

“Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life.”

Hiking is walking meditation. Journaling is writing meditation. Praying is gratitude meditation. Showering is accidental meditation. Sitting quietly is direct meditation.

I just want to be the most successful version of myself while working the least hard possible.

There is actually nothing but this moment. No one has ever gone back in time, and no one has ever been able to successfully predict the future in any way that matters.
