Life is not about watching movies and relaxing all day.

Life is about growth.

It is about being better than the last week, being better the last month and being better the last year. You might have had an incredible year. Guess what? This year can be better.

When you make progress, you are going to feel alive every second.

Make no mistake. You should mind your own business. Your progress is yours. Don’t compare yourself with others.

Progress comes when you tell yourself the truth.

Progress comes when you will feel the uncertainty, but you take action anyway.

Take action towards your goal today.

The Paper Oligarch

Recently I suffered a small injury that initially seemed harmless enough however things escalated quickly at a point where, for a brief moment in time, I thought that my life was in danger. Since the injury confined me to my bed for a month I had a lot of time to think about life in general, and what I wanted to do from now on in particular. Nothing motivates you like the prospect of dying…

This unfortunate episode helped me accept that most likely I am exactly who the fuck I am going to be for the rest of my life and that is not a bad thing! I will soon be 36 years old and the time to “find myself” has passed, and if there is something that I don’t like about me…
