With the rapid deterioration of the Russia/Ukraine situation, you’re going to hear a lot about SWIFT in the coming days…

Here’s a quick breakdown of what it is and why it matters:

SWIFT is short for the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications.

It’s a global cooperative of financial institutions based in Belgium.

It was formed in 1973 when 239 banks from 15 countries came together to establish a way to handle cross-border payments.

Today, SWIFT connects more than 11,000 financial institutions across 200+ countries.

Think of it like a simple email system enabling secure messages across its members.

An average of 40 million messages a day—including orders, payment confirmations, FX exchanges, and trades.

On May 9th, 2020, I came back from a walk, had an idea, and typed out a few tweets—I posted it on Twitter for my 500 followers to see.

22 months, 200,000 words, and 1 billion impressions later, there are 500,000 of you here.

Here are my 10 favorite posts from this wild journey:

Paradoxes of Life

A paradox is a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement that, when investigated, may prove to be true.

Life is full of paradoxes.

Once you become aware of them, you will find yourself empowered to use them to your advantage.

How to Win (Without Talent or Luck)

We all want to win.

Our definitions of “winning” vary—happiness and fulfillment to some, money and fame to others—but we all want to win.

You've been told that you can’t win without incredible talent (or sensational luck).

This is wrong...

It’s Sunday evening and I’m two whiskeys deep.

A few thoughts and hard truths (on just about everything):

Most of your friends aren’t really your friends.

They’re just along for the ride when it’s fun, convenient, or valuable.

Your real friends are the ones who are there for you when its none of those things—there for you when you have nothing to offer in return.

Cherish them.

The biggest thing holding most people back is their unwillingness to ask for what they want.

Closed mouths don’t get fed.

If you want something—and you’ve done the work to deserve it—ask for it.

Worst case—you’re told no.

Best case—it’s yours.

How to Create More Luck:

I believe that much of what we call "luck" is the macro result of 1,000s of micro actions.

Your habits put you in a position where luck is more likely to strike.

If you want to create more luck, start by increasing your luck surface area.

This thread shares 20 ways to do it:

Get in the Arena

There's no luck on the sidelines—the arena is where it strikes.

It's lonely and vulnerable, but it's the only path that bears real fruit.

When faced with two paths, choose the path that puts you in the arena—where collisions happen, where luck can strike.
