Recommend Your Life To Yourself
- Ask yourself if you'd recommend the life you've lived to someone who shares your values.
- Use that answer to change course and intentionally build more of what matters now.
Substance Beats Social Optics
- External optics often hide an empty inner life despite impressive-looking achievements.
- Substance comes from meaningful connection and feeling alive, not curated appearances.
Use Mortality To Reorder Priorities
- Use vivid reminders to reprioritize what matters after a brush with mortality or reflection.
- Abandon trivial obligations and spend time on relationships and experiences that feel meaningful.
