Something I had to ask myself some months ago: > What things can I do today that I won't be able to do in 10 years? maybe in 5 years? It really clicked. We now spend our lives trapped in an endless loop of cheap dopamine, busy sitting at a desk in front of a screen, consumed by social media, chasing money at the expense of aliveness, and estimulated by materialistic needs. That feeling of "I will always have time" is a trap. You won't. Life is only squeezed when you understand it's ephemeral. There's an ever-increasing trend of people spending more time seeing how others live in social media vs. their time actually living their own meaningful experiences. Information that is purely noise. Endless down scrolling. And it doesn't matter how much you progress, how well your life is set — the algo will make sure to find people that are doing better than you, forcing the inevitable comparison. Pure dissatisfaction. It's just sad. Never have I seen a rich guy sitting at Cipriani with an AP being happier than a normal guy getting lost with some friends in Indonesia or Brazil. Don't be the guy that have regrets when you are old. Pursue aliveness. Also work hard. Be ambitious. Get money. But do it with purpose! That's the key. Just don't follow the same rat race in a bigger league. I've seen people who weren't fulfilled at $2k/mo or $50k/mo. At $0 NW or $1M+ NW. It doesn't matter what you have if you don't know how to use it, or can't use it. The best things in life aren't bought, but lived. People get in the same rat race, with bigger sums. In the same status games, with more expensive things. The same comparisons, but now more frustrating. Detach from all of this by asking yourself what you won't be able to do in a few years time. You will start giving more importance to it, caring less about what the world says it matters but it doesn't. And start doing more of them, today.
