It is hard not to agree with you!! Yes, life is all about paying attention. The funny thing is, the world doesn't suddenly become different. You just start noticing the same things from a different perspective.

Thanks for being an embodiment of the power of consistency and compounding efforts... and for sharing your productivity framework generously. I'd keep an eye out for the writing course come July 21st. Onward and Forward!

I have silence around me 24/7. The only interruption is my dear nephew, about twice a week. I don't answer the phone (why?), no t.v. Sometimes music, or the vacuum but after a troubled life I wouldn't trade my brain and it's work for anything. I'm good. It took a helluva long time, but so damned worth it.

the brain is designed to abuse abundance because it does not recognise abundance, its always thinking this isn't enough, and it's stuck in the past where everything is scarce like salt, sugar and fat.

this inability to recognise abundance, leads our mind to addiction because it doesn't realise "enough" so we're stuck on gnawing on it like digital addiction.

so what we give attention to will determine what we have in life. if we keep feeding an abundance of digital addiction, we'll be stuck with it. but if we keep feeding an abundance of reading, writing and other interest. we can take advantage of it's abundance abusal and get addicted to things that move the needle

I remember challenges myself a few months ago to get back into writing essays more consistently. I was struggling with this one essay on the question of what does professionalism really mean, and I knew even before I finished it, that it was going to be kind of bad. Lol But, I pushed through anyway, and I told myself that this article may kinda suck but the next ones would be better, and I was right! Writing these essays are their own reward, life changing on multiple levels. Thanks for the encouragement Craig. :)

Thank you for this. Best part about it? I actually read all of it without getting distracted. So… something is working

Debt isn't always a math problem; it's an identity problem. We buy things we don't need, with money we don't have, to impress people we don't even like.

Why? Because we secretly worry that without the logos, the luxury, and the lifestyle, we aren't enough.

But looking rich is the fastest way to stay broke and streshttps://open.substack.com/pub/moneyandpeaceofmind/p/the-high-cost-of-looking-rich?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=8ofj0jsed.

I can't wait to join your writing course!

Is the course text-based, or is it in video format? I'm curious to know.

Great read with very useful information. I particularly find the diagram useful in identifying what drives certain actions.

Control over our brain is moto that keeps coming up in various parts of life and I’m now officially convinced that it is the one that is impulsive, much more than the “heart”.
