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.

Real love lets go when the other person wants to leave. It doesn’t try to convince, hold on, force, shame, or guilt. It honors truth even when the truth may be painful.

Communities and families who sing together are way more likely to thrive and prosper versus those who don’t. Good music is healing for the soul.

I’m definitely a beach guy at my heart, but just spent 12 days in the mountains and it’s such a peaceful change of pace. Feeling nourished, grounded, and connected to my daily practices of yoga & meditation. Excited to incorporate more trips when it feels right.

Going outside for 10 minutes to smell the fresh air and connect to your breath is the ultimate reset for clarity & calmness. Breathe 4-8 seconds on the inhales and 6-12 seconds on the exhales. Feel the energy start to shift from your mind to your body. Remember this just a state of being you can access whenever you want. Pura Vida.

There are those who theorize, wonder, and twiddle their thumbs all day, and then there are those who take action, fail over and over again, and eventually find what works for them. Which will you choose?

It’s difficult to be in a loving & open state if you’re always in a hurry. Slow down, be present, and enjoy each moment in your day.

Journaling is a very underrated practice for getting stuck emotions and thoughts out and onto paper. Just write whatever you feel. Try not think to think too much. Nobody will read it back except you. Aim for 3 times per week around 20 minutes per session to start. Cheers.

Getting clear on your purpose is so important because you’ll automatically know if the next thing that comes up is aligned or not. Many people who are not clear on their purpose distract themselves with pleasure, video games, and activities that ultimately don’t serve their highest self. Be clear on your life’s purpose and observe the beauty that unfolds from there onwards.

When you’re meditating by yourself, spend a few minutes imagining the most vibrant and aligned version of yourself. How does this person walk, talk, and breathe? What projects is he/she working on? What habits does this person have? How is this person making the world a better place? Really visualize it with full concentration, and every time you meditate, continue to come back to this visualization. Within time, you will feel compelled to take steps necessary to become this more aligned person and ultimately get closer and closer to your actual goals in life.
