At twenty, you don’t get the life you deserve, you are just the product of the environment you were lucky or unlucky to have.
Then, as you get older, and enter your thirties, forties, and beyond, you notice how much agency you actually had on your life.
Maybe you moved abroad, learned another language, another culture, another mindset, and became an entirely different person.
Maybe you decided you had nothing to lose, and invested all your meager savings into the bet of a lifetime, and it worked out.
Maybe you changed all your habits, and realized that you could be much healthier, smarter, stronger than you thought, if you simply maintain a better diet, a better training, a better sleep, a better routine.
Maybe you fell in love, and realized that a great marriage was about so much more than physical attraction and intellectual compatibility: if you find yourself walking alongside with a kind, thoughtful, honest person who loves you back, you actually won the lottery.
Maybe you met some great people during your journey, shared with them parts of your journey, overcame difficult challenges together, finally understood the real meaning of “friendship,” and that some people are worth trusting and making sacrifices for.
Maybe you also had health issues, lost a few precious people that you loved, understood the fragility of life and the pain that comes with truly loving someone else, but also finally gained enough wisdom to appreciate the simple things in life, that are free and in abundance.
It’s a long journey. The best and the worst things will happen to you. You can choose to act like a victim, or you can choose to respect yourself and be more resilient, mentally stronger, overall better. In the end, you will look back, you will connect the dots, and it will all make sense, that you got exactly what you deserved.

For a quick moment, imagine you were born in 1900. When you are 14, World War I starts, and ends on your 18th birthday with 22 million people killed. Later in the year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until you are 20. Fifty million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million.
When you're 29, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, global GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. When you turn 39, World War II starts. You aren’t even over the hill yet.
When you're 41, the United States is fully pulled into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 75 million people perish in the war and the Holocaust kills six million. At 52, the Korean War starts and five million perish.
At 64 the Vietnam War begins, and it doesn’t end for many years. Four million people die in that conflict. Approaching your 62nd birthday you have the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, could well have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening.
As you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? A child in 1985 didn’t think their 85 year old grandparent understood how hard school was. Yet those grandparents survived through everything listed above.
Perspective is an amazing thing. With so much happening right now and as 2023 ends, let's try to keep things in perspective, knowing that we will get through all of this. In the history of the world, there has never been a storm that lasted forever. This too shall pass.

1. Never stop learning: Like Leonardo da Vinci, who never ceased exploring from art to science, proving that perpetual curiosity can redefine the world.
2. See failure as a beginning: Like Thomas Edison’s numerous failed attempts before perfecting the light bulb, demonstrating that each failure lights the path to success.
3. Teach others what you know: As Socrates taught Plato, sharing wisdom plants the seeds for future generations to flourish.
4. Assume nothing, question everything: Galileo challenged the geocentric model, a stance that invited scrutiny but ultimately revolutionized astronomy.
5. Analyze objectively: Like Marie Curie’s meticulous experiments with radioactivity, which led to groundbreaking discoveries by avoiding assumptions.
6. Practice humility: Abraham Lincoln’s openness to listen to differing opinions, showing that true strength lies in recognizing one’s limitations.
7. Respect constructive criticism: When Winston Churchill accepted feedback during WWII, his adaptability became a cornerstone of his leadership.
8. Love what you do: Michelangelo’s passion for sculpting turned blocks of marble into eternal masterpieces, exemplifying joy in one's work.
9. Give credit where it's due: Like Henry Ford, who recognized his employees’ efforts, fostering loyalty and innovation in his company.
10. Take initiative: Rosa Parks’ decision to remain seated sparked a movement, proving that change begins with individual courage.

You can’t change others, you can only change yourself and attract a different kind of people.
🎗 @Motivational 🎗
You don't have time to judge others when you are busy fixing your own flaws
You don't have time to get angry at strangers when you are busy investing in your own future
You don't have time to feel anxious when you are busy becoming a resilient, smarter, mentally stronger person

Sleep is more important than food.
You can go a week without eating & the only thing you’ll lose is weight.
Give up sleep for a couple of days & you become the worst version of yourself.

Embrace the art of being gracefully lost. It is in wandering with no set destination that we often discover the most beautiful paths and unexpected treasures of life.

1. Controlled Sleep Inertia: Utilize a technique called "sleep inertia control." Sleep inertia refers to the groggy feeling you get right after waking up. Set a gentle, gradually increasing alarm instead of a sudden, loud one. This eases your brain out of sleep more naturally and reduces grogginess.
2. Circadian Rhythm Optimization: Align your wake-up time with your natural circadian rhythms. Use a sleep tracker to understand your sleep cycles and identify the best time to wake up. Waking up at the end of a sleep cycle rather than in the middle can make you feel more refreshed and alert.
3. Light Exposure Management: Manage your exposure to light. In the morning, expose yourself to natural sunlight as soon as possible. This helps to halt the production of melatonin (the sleep hormone) and boosts serotonin production, making you feel more awake. Conversely, avoid bright lights, especially blue light from screens, an hour before bedtime to help your body prepare for sleep.

Remember, the greatest oak was once a little nut that held its ground. Your dreams, no matter how distant, are attainable if you persist, step by step, with faith in your journey. Like a river that carves through rock not by force, but by persistence, your continuous effort will shape your destiny. Embrace persistence, for it is the path to the extraordinary.

Regret, often depicted as a shadow trailing our steps, is not just a reminder of what we've lost or missed but also a silent mentor teaching us the subtleties of life. It's a nuanced emotion, a blend of longing and wisdom, a quiet echo of "what could have been" that resonates in the chambers of our heart.
Consider the story of Elinor, a gifted violinist who, at a crucial juncture, chose a stable career over her passion for music. Years down the line, amidst the humdrum of routine, Elinor felt a pang of regret. Yet, instead of letting this regret consume her, she embraced it as a compass, guiding her back to her first love. She started playing again, not to reclaim a lost career but to rekindle a lost part of herself. This shift in perspective transformed her regret from a burden to a beacon, illuminating a path she had thought forever closed.
The key to living without regret is not to avoid mistakes or to always make the 'right' choice, as that's an unrealistic expectation. Life is an intricate tapestry of countless decisions, and not all threads lead to clear destinations. Instead, the remedy lies in embracing each choice, learning from it, and understanding that each step, whether forward or backward, is a part of a larger dance.
And if regret does find its way into our hearts, treat it not as a stone anchoring us to the past but as a lighthouse guiding us towards growth and self-discovery. It's about listening to its whisper, understanding its message, and then, gently, letting it go. This is how we move on, by recognizing regret as a part of our journey, not the end of it.
In essence, live life like a painter before a canvas, knowing that each stroke contributes to the larger picture. Some may seem out of place, but in the grand scheme, they add depth and character. Embrace each moment, learn, grow, and when necessary, pick up the brush and gently correct the course. That's how we paint a life free from the chains of regret.

Observing Elon Musk's relentless pursuit of innovation has been a revelation for me. His journey isn't just a series of achievements; it's a powerful narrative of resilience and vision. Musk's endeavors, from revolutionizing electric cars with Tesla to pioneering space exploration with SpaceX, underscore his commitment to advancing humanity.
His resilience in the face of challenges is equally inspiring. He has encountered criticism and setbacks but remains undeterred, driven by a belief in a better future. This has led me to a crucial realization: our potential to effect change and leave a lasting impact on the world is immense.
Musk's journey has inspired me to pursue a life of purpose and significance, not just for personal success but for the betterment of humanity. It's a reminder that we all can be architects of the future, envisioning and working towards a world better than the one we know.
Let Musk's journey ignite your own drive to push boundaries and strive for a legacy that resonates beyond individual achievements. In doing so, we pave new paths, inspiring future generations by the trails we blaze.
