“People ignore sponsored tweets. People skip Youtube ads. People don’t notice Google ads. Like with viruses, we grew resistant. The new marketing is based on trust. And it takes years to build trust.”

This travelled so fast...
Among other things that I do, I write a newsletter called @MindWBoundary. The goal is to help everyone build a mind that can help them navigate the world masterfully.
If it's scarce, it must be valuable. Forgetting or not noting that it is only scare because we all want the same thing.
But it's what keeps the economic wheel rolling so there's no ending.
Success at one thing creates that illusion of scarcity as well. Suddenly, everyone wants YOUR success or wants to be associated with YOUR success if they've concluded they can't have YOUR success.
There's this energy that comes from perceiving things are fine with you and there's the other draining that comes from perceiving things aren't working for you.
What I've learnt is that we all feel both. It doesn't matter what high you are on, you will at one point feel things are against you and no matter the low you maybe, a time will come when you feel you are getting out of the low.
Managing both experiences well is the ultimate level self awareness.
Except you are self aware and understand both experiences are fickle and only a matter of your thinking, you are bound to make some wrong decisions.
Two things I believe everyone should have at least some working knowledge about are: Finance and Health.
At one point or the other, you have to make decisions about those two things. While you can get some help about, the decision making still lies on you.
Working knowledge on them will help you.
Health
You can't escape it. You need to be healthy and maintain healthy habit to get by in life.
You can't cultivate unhealthy habit and not expect repercussion.
