Some of these may sound bullshit, or even new age woo woo, but I don't give a fuck. It's all personally tested and proven.
- Having money changes you.
- When things happen too fast, no one can be sure about anything, not even themselves. Stop and start over.

- Having an audience changes how we perform.
- We become what we surround ourselves with.
- We only grow when it hurts.

- This too shall pass.

- Money will go away if you don't use it wisely.
- You need less than you think.
- Sometimes, silence is more worrisome than words.
- Stop caring and accept it.
- Sleep is the only way to truly recover.
- if they are praising you too much, it's a warning sign.

- Productivity is not the grail. Zero in on focus.

- The best thing money can buy is access.
- Time is the only resource you have access to, and it's severely limited.
