Practical wisdom. No fluff. Daily posts that make you stronger. Decoding the nuance of life.
Just listened to the latest @hubermanlab episode with former Navy SEAL @dj_shipley85, and it’s a masterclass in mental resilience. The strategies that kept him alive in combat can make you unbreakable in daily life. Here are the key takeaways you need to know. 🧵

Your goal doesn’t care about your feelings. It doesn’t care that you’re tired, uninspired, or busy. It just waits. Like a weight in the corner. You either lift it, or you don’t.
Everyone says they want “real connection.” But try being honest, vulnerable, and a little broken. Most people flinch. They wanted a mirror, not a human.
You don’t need another productivity hack. You need to turn your phone off, shut the door, and admit you’re afraid of being average.
Most people want success to be a vending machine: Put in hard work, wait, get a prize. But it’s more like gardening. Dig, sweat, wait, repeat. Sometimes nothing grows. You still do it.
“Do what you love” is terrible advice. Try: “Do something tolerable that pays.” Then use the leftover energy to make art, fix yourself, or cook dinner for someone who matters.
Advice is mostly projection. And asking for it is just a way to avoid blame. You already know what to do. You just want someone else to cosign the risk.
Post the thing. Nobody cares. And that’s exactly why you should do it. There’s freedom in being ignored.
Most people don’t want to connect. They want confirmation. Of their opinion, their worldview, or that they matter. Sometimes they do. Usually, they don’t.

The only way to be everything is to be willing to be nothing.
The more you try to be a god, the more you will be a mortal.
The only way to be a king is to be willing to be a pawn.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or like your drive just vanished… It’s probably not laziness. It’s one of these 👇
