#12 - Less Is More In Terms Of Possessions, The Cost Of Abundance & Frugality As A Gratitude Exercise 28.09.2025 20:10

Here's something I've noticed as I've attempted to live with less and more with what I already have

Trying new things is daunting, but the benefits far outweigh the negatives

#10 - Understand And Control Your Finances, Emergency Funds & Paying Off Student Debts 14.09.2025 19:53

I discovered the size of my student loan and that shocked me into taking action

#9 - Unteachable Lessons, Confirmation Bias & Gratitude In Your Darkest Moments 07.09.2025 17:05

Why is it that we think we are the exception to good advice from those who have experience? Some lessons just have to be learnt through your own experience it seems.

#8 - Systematic VS Unsystematic Setbacks, The Locus Of Control & Measuring Progress By Your Troughs 31.08.2025 12:23

Setbacks will inevitably occur, but not all are as a result of your decisions, nor are they in your control. Not letting it consume is what allows room for sustained progress.

#7 - Why Diversification Is Key, How Obsession Can Cause Us To Go Off Track & Why Being Consistently Good Is Better Than Occasionally Great 24.08.2025 14:02

We lean into the things we enjoy the most, for all of us on our redemption arc we enjoy progress in some aspects that we invest in. These are the areas we tend to lean into, but its important not to focus on only the areas we enjoy, and invest more in that at the expense of the others.

Isn't it funny how we know what it takes to achieve great things, yet for the most part we fail to commit to the basic inputs that get us there?

#3 - Why our Perception of Comfort is Flawed, Resilience as a Muscle & Choosing your Struggles 06.07.2025 20:18

Comfort seems to have positive connotations around it, and discomfort seems to have negative ones; but perhaps it should really be the other way round. Comfort is like a bad friend, it's not your friend..

#2 - Shallow Goals, Infinite Strategies & Fear as a Fuel 29.06.2025 23:09

Motivation is an intense fuel which works very well, but it is a non-renewable source that will run out, make sure your reasons for change and why you want them are strong enough to outlast your motivation.
