In reversible decisions, the most sophisticated form of procrastination is waiting for more data before deciding.

Data are numbers, and numbers have no end.

So, seeking more data is a masked form of indecisiveness.

If indecisiveness is the decision you need in the moment, by all means, ask for more data.

But if momentum is what you need in the moment, all the data you need are already available.

If you cannot name the data you need to arrive at a decision, then either decide immediately or decide to not decide. No more procrastination.

Having trees around your house is desirable until their roots start piercing through your foundation in search of locked nutrient treasures, or their trunk breaks under the weight of a storm and smashes your roof in ways that make replacement the only possibility.

By all means, have desires, but understand where the roots go and what happens when a storm comes along.

Until you commit, you are wise.

After you commit, you become wiser.

Until you commit, you are a fool.

After you commit, you become a bigger fool.

Commitment amplifies what pre-exists.

But you would never know what pre-exists until you commit.

Willpower, like all forns of power, weakens as it is exercised.

Until you’re loved right, you will never find your purpose.

And that love can also come from you.

My investment risk appetite has no correlation to my age.

It is more correlated to my liquidity.

Two rules in life:

Rule number 1: Find a good partner.

Social media is not private, even when you use an anonymous account.

It is okay for private thoughts to remain private.

It is okay for private parts to remain private.

It is okay for private moments to remain private.

Ignore the urge to trade privacy for validation; otherwise, you will lose both.

Keep what is private private.

Principles are a privilege.

The privilege does not belong to the privileged.

It belongs to the principled.

A lack of its privilege is a choice.

Like a sweet fruit with a seed within, great blessing comes with a vulnerability.

What you do with the vulnerability changes everything about the blessing.

If you chew it and swallow, the blessing ends with it.

If you spit it out without a care in the world, the blessing looks bad on you.

If you plant it and nurture it, it grows to produce more blessings than you can imagine.

A fruit that has a seed needs the seed for it to be of the plant. A blessing that has a vulnerability needs the vulnerability for it to be of humanity.
