“I wish I hadn’t done that.” Said no one ever after working out.

GM! It’s easy to be fooled by others. Unfortunately, a lot of people will pretend to be friends or nudge you a certain way in order for them to benefit themselves. Avoid these toxic, manipulative, selfish folks like the plague. There are few true friends and people willing to help out of the goodness of their heart. If you find one, consider yourself lucky. If you find a few, consider yourself blessed. Try to be one of these good people for others. #letsgo #protip

GM! Here’s the secret to getting what you want: There is no secret. The process for getting what you want is pretty simple though: You have to focus on the goal, put in the work and time necessary to obtain it, and do that every day until you succeed. The hardest part is the consistency of getting up every day and repeating the process. Especially at first when results seem too far away or even impossible. #letsgo #nostriches #plebchain

If Bitcoin reaches the millions in 10-30 years (I’ve seen bear case of $4M, base case of $13M, bull case of $49M+)… Will it be due to inflation/debasement or #btc absorbing the market cap of other asset classes (gold, bonds, equities, real estate, etc)? The former would be hard to imagine. How much will a gallon of gas or a happy meal be? #asknostr #plebchain #nostr

Honest question: Do you believe hard work (or hustling) is a negative thing? I’ve seen this brought up on #nostr a few times and people here seem to frown on hustling. My definition of hustling is having drive and getting ahead via proof of work (ideally, you can find a way to work smarter and more efficiently). I definitely think you need to enjoy your life. I’m a strong believer of “work to live, don’t live to work”. However, it’s vital to have a strong drive if you want to get ahead. You want to start a business? Good luck manifesting customers without putting in the work. You can watch and re-read “The Secret” all you want, it won’t replace hard work and/or hustle. Can’t be Apple without the grind and hours to go from a garage to the most valuable company in the world. Can’t be the USA without the hard work and lives it took (and still takes) to be a truly free republic. I enjoy watching lots of MMA, all those men and women (shout out to @CrisCyborg) have the hustle to compete and be the best. I’ve read a lot about “fiat mindset”, but nothing seems more fiat than sitting back watching your BTC grow and waiting to retire rich without contributing and putting your time to good use. This all came up from a recent @HODL post. I understand his perspective now but it got me thinking. Was curious what the sentiment is here from others. #asknostr

GM! My goal today is to do the least amount possible. Let’s see how that goes. #coffeechain image

One of the best things I learned was troubleshooting. Troubleshooting taught me to find the source of the problem rather than figure out endless quick fixes. Troubleshooting, first principles, call it what you will. Breaking a problem down is critical and has served me well in every aspect of my life.

Too many people worry about things they can’t control. Politics, economics, etc. Focus on what you can directly control. Work, health, family, finances, etc. You’ll have tangible results and be happier over the long run.

GM! Put any excuses you have aside. Don’t let excuses get in the way of getting things done today. Identify the issues, figure out solutions, make decisions. #letsgo

As you get older, you realize lots of people you thought were experts are just regular people pretending to be something they’re not. Some got there by faking it until they made it. Some just have more confidence than others or are more convincing. Reality is, most people are winging it in life and know just as much, or less, than you do. Don’t trust, verify.

Some wise words I heard once: “Don’t get stuck.” Meaning, if you’re solving a problem, it’s easy to get stuck in the details and forget the big picture. It’s better to get something up and running than delay due to perfection. Don’t get stuck. #gm #nostr #plebchain
