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.

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

And that love can also come from you.

It is more correlated to my liquidity.

Two rules in life:

Rule number 1: Find a good partner.
Rule number 2: Listen to them.

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.

Good advice is not in short supply.

Good judgment is.

The main advantage you have with anything in life revolves around your principal.

At the start of life, your parents are your principals. The healthier they are and the longer they stay around, the better your overall quality of life.

As you start school, your teachers become your principals. The healthier they are and the longer they spend with you, the better your overall quality of education.

When you start work, your line managers become your principals. The healthier they are and the more they invest in you, the better your career.

When you start investing, your capital becomes your principal. The healthier it is and the longer you can keep it, the better your chance of compounding working for you.

Understand your principal in any phase you’re in, prioritize improving them, and watch how life gets easier.
