#30: Move from Conformity to Creativity

“Every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, this is me and the damned world can go to hell.” - Rollo May I think he’s right, perhaps not for everyone, but for many people. May was an American psychologist and argued that human development proceeds...

#29: We Keep Lying to Ourselves About Time

In the Oslo, Norway airport as I write this. It's 7:32am local time on June 29, 2024, and I just arrived from Lebanon to spend time with a friend. I've been contemplating coming to Norway for years. This is country 99, while I have been on country 98 (Lebanon, for 5 years). My excuse was that I...

#28: The Power of Mental Diets & Controlling Environment

#24: You're Playing the Game

The game of life… Work, get the biggest title, get a mortgage, buy stuff (monthly payments), add a few cars and kids, have beers and wine on Friday, go to Costco and kid activities on Saturday, recover on Sunday. That seems to be what (at least US culture) has become. We get into this loop wher...

#23: Adapting Rules

You know… it’s okay to think about rules a bit differently. I certainly do, all the time. You don’t have to blindly accept everything as black and white. Many well-intentioned rules and policies impede actual life, unintentionally. If there’s a (positive and ethical) way to honor them while ge...

#22: Securing Basic Needs

Lifestyle itself is built through trial, error, and practice...daily practice. You can practice how to build a business, invest, travel hack to different countries, exist with time freedom, build meaningful relationships, and even have 3 full-time careers at the same time – whatever makes sense ...

#21: The Skill Most People Lack

I’ve always had a belief system. Here it is: Vision + Systematic Patience = Anything You Want That’s it. I formed that sentence when I was 25 years old. What I didn’t realize at the time is that I stumbled onto manifestation. I stumbled on to how to Try Life On. For everything I’ve accomplis...
