Every day is actually a great day when you don't take for granted the gift of being alive. #orangebook #Gratitude #Mindfulness #Appreciation

A lot of fears are actually there to tell you what you should do, not what you should avoid. #orangebook #Fears #Action #Growth

Anxiety happens when you changed who you were in order to please other people, when you should have focused on becoming who you actually wanted to be, with good taste. #orangebook #Anxiety #Self-improvement #Authenticity

A lot of success in life boils down to understanding that your own intelligence goes through fluctuations, and that there will be many moments of “stupidity” when you will be convinced to be right and very eager to act, and the challenge is to recognize them and let it pass. #orangebook

You can’t save someone who chooses to drown no matter how good of a swimmer you are. #orangebook

Mental health is like physical health, it doesn’t just happen out of nowhere, it takes discipline and efforts, and people who can’t even maintain simple healthy habits over the course of many years are actually consciously choosing to stay low-energy and anxious. #orangebook

Peace of mind is simple once you realize that you are free to do your own thing because no one has time to think about you. Most of the “social pressure” and anxiety that people feel are an invention of their own mind. #orangebook

Most parents want to give their kids all sorts of advantages in life, but the most important gift they often fail to give them is the opportunity to earn true self-confidence through their own independent efforts and risk-taking. #orangebook

All you need for life to keep getting better as you get older is good taste: good taste for what kind of person you want to be, good taste for what kind of person you want to marry or befriend, good taste for where you want to live, good taste for what you want to create. #orangebook

You see a lot of wealthy people struggling with their family and friendships because the kind of mindset you need to reach higher financial highs is very different from the mind you need to keep good people around. Being relentless and unpredictable, taking a lot of risks and enjoying the thrill of it, being "stupidly" bold once in a while, these are not the kind of traits that ensure the long-term stability of a relationship. Wealthy people with a loving family and supportive friends are just people who understood that meaningful relationships couldn't be bought with money, understood that life wasn't all about efficiency, and earned the people they had around through kindness, loyalty and commitment. @NolanFincher2 I'm working hard on it, will have big updates soon! 🧡 @JordanSVIC @NolanFincher2 Thank you ! 🫡 #orangebook

Relationships are actually very simple once they involve people who have the intelligence to understand that spilling your anger, frustration, insecurities on someone else, doesn't make them disappear. #orangebook

Unhealthy addictions happen when you have too much free time and not enough purpose; no one who has a clear idea of where they want to be ten years from now would voluntarily reduce their chances of success. #orangebook

It's practically getting harder and harder to maintain genuine friendships as you get older, because people prioritize their family, they move around, they have personal issues to deal with; if you are lucky to have friends that fill your days with positive energy and gratitude, treasure them, make an effort to keep in touch, show some flexibility of schedule, don't let them go because you are "too busy and tired," at some point, you are not going to be that busy anymore, and sadly realize that no one cares about you, because you didn't care enough when they did. @davin_chia 🧡 #orangebook

A lot of success boils down to having a very clear idea of what kind of old person you don’t want to look like and be like, then make sure you are currently not walking a similar path. #orangebook

A hoarding mindset is a symptom of poverty, and that's regardless of how much you have in the bank account. True wealth is about feeling free and being free. #orangebook #HoardingMindset #Poverty #TrueWealth

It's ironic that a lot of smart people fail to live fulfilling lives precisely because they think too much; and they think too much because they lack two things: (1) the faith to believe in their own growth and (2) the courage to act when they feel scared. #orangebook #Fulfillment #Self-doubt #Action

If you want to know whether you are underperforming or overperforming your "potential," take a look at what your grandparents had achieved at the same age, in terms of family, career, legacy, then take a look at your own life, be honest about it, and make the necessary changes. Nowadays, there are just too many people who blame their genetics instead of their own lack of efforts, and they'd radically change their stance if they knew what their ancestors overcame to get them a shot at experiencing their current life. #orangebook #Potential #Ancestors #Effort

Being in the right direction in life always involves being calmer as you get older. Angry old people are just people who failed to connect with who they were meant to be. #orangebook #LifeDirection #AgingGracefully #Self-connection

The biggest part of the wealth transmission that happens within a family is not the money, it's about the way you think, the way you learn, and the way you prioritize your time and energy. #orangebook #WealthTransmission #FamilyValues #Mindset
