Unlock the Insights That Changed My Life
Each week, I share a glimpse of my ideas and perspectives on life in short 5-minute emails. But there’s so much more depth to explore.
Body 1 - Light, Conversational, Everyday Life
I’ve had these (and more) ready for quite a while now and have been putting off publishing them because I didn’t want to use it as a shortcut to releasing a newsletter.
I usually keep these for a week when I have no time to sit and compose a final publication.
The truth is - It wasn’t a matter of not having time - I just wasn’t writing enough, and I wasn’t writing well enough to justify publishing it. And it felt like a disservice to use it where and when it was not designed to be used.
Anyway, I feel like I’m finally back in the swing with my weekly writing and publishing, so here you go - Brain Tattoos 3.0!
PS: If you’re still reading this, thank you! 🫰🏼

You cannot think your way out of a rut
Stop looking at things as paying fines, but as fees.
Go by the spirit of the law, not the word of the law.
Failure is a feature.
Success can naively be defined by the one single solution that worked and made it big. But in fact, success is defined by the tens if not hundreds or thousands of iterations of attempted solutions that didn’t work. Success is simply the distilled residue of a brew of failures.
The target draws the arrow, not the other way around.
Every delayed decision accrues a debt - anxiety is the interest you pay.
The facts of a situation stay the same, but our perspective shapes the story - and the story shapes our reality.
Self-awareness is the diagnosis; action is the cure. A diagnosis without treatment doesn’t heal you.
It is easier to restrict a temptation than to resist one
