Before bed, take time to just think: • Unplug • Run through your day • Write down a few thoughts There's no going back to falling asleep on my phone. Life feels so much more authentic. It's also really fun and destressing. How do you rest before bed?

Matthew McConaughey traveled to the Amazon River because of a wet dream. Yes, you read that right. It was this trip that he rediscovered himself. Respect your intuition. Follow your dreams :)

Are you feeling spread too thin? If so, do 2 things: 1) Imagine you wipe out your whole schedule 2) For each activity, ask yourself: “What would I pay to be able to do it?” Many things aren’t essential. Do less, better. (from Essentialism by Greg McKoewn)

The ROI on reading is out of this world. "I’ve just bought $250 worth of books because I know ROI is humungous. I recently read an $8 book and I credit it with making $8,650 last month." - @writes_eve Even if you don't make a dollar, reading grows you as a person.

You have the power to turn the page in your book of life whenever you want. Don’t wait for someone or January 1st to start demanding the best of yourself. "Someday is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.” - Tim Ferriss

📘Book - Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey. 10/10, banger. His memoir was a page turner and helped me fall back in love with reading. Amazing and hilarious stories about travel, life, adventure, work, values, and more. Can’t recommend this one enough.

📽️ Video Clip - To find what you want to do in life, you need to “find the torture you’re comfortable with,” says Jerry Seinfeld. Don’t settle until you find something that seems like work to others and play to you.

Who's wealthier? Person A: Works 8 hours a day and makes $20k a month. Person B: Only works 2 hours a day and makes $5k a month. Something to think about...
