Suffering is the default for our existence on this planet. We are all here to evolve while serving one another.
You have made a conscious choice to be here and embark on this journey.
Per Ardua Ad Astra means “through adversity to the stars” in Latin.
If you have infinite resilience, you will have infinity achievements in life.
Learn how to cultivate inner peace. With peace, you can overcome all adversity in your life.
When you conquer yourself with discipline and serve others with rational kindness, everything is possible.
I like this quote because it represents a deep connection with the inner force I try to propel in the world, daily.
Everyone is going through some suffering.
As a being in constant evolution, it is your responsibility to take care of yourself and not be a victim of your circumstances.
As an investor, CEO, founder, or leader you must persevere until exhaustion, with discipline and rational determination.
Connect with infinite energy and conquer wealth, health, and peace. It starts inside since the world will never run out of apparent problems.
“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself and in no instance bypass the discriminations of reason? You have been given the principles that you ought to endorse, and you have endorsed them. What kind of teacher, then, are you still waiting for in order to refer your self-improvement to him? You are no longer a boy, but a full-grown man. If you are careless and lazy now and keep putting things off and always deferring the day after which you will attend to yourself, you will not notice that you are making no progress, but you will live and die as someone quite ordinary.
From now on, then, resolve to live as a grown-up who is making progress, and make whatever you think best a law that you never set aside. And whenever you encounter anything that is difficult or pleasurable, or highly or lowly regarded, remember that the contest is now: you are at the Olympic Games, you cannot wait any longer, and that your progress is wrecked or preserved by a single day and a single event. That is how Socrates fulfilled himself by attending to nothing except reason in everything he encountered. And you, although you are not yet a Socrates, should live as someone who at least wants to be a Socrates.”
― Epictetus, Enchiridion, Chapter 51
This was the shitty and extremely tiny studio I lived in Boulder, Colorado from 2010-2011. It was a tiny place where I started to execute my dreams.
I have made 30+ trades in the past 18 months using over US$100K in margin. Interesting to see that margin soared this year. It can be quite useful.
In this episode, we discussed gun rights, the current private market landscape for startups, the great resignation, and much more.
