Plain and simple — This “rule” is stupidly simple. Yet many people I’ve met still don’t realize it. Maybe because they don’t want to; sometimes admitting simple truths means admitting you’re wrong, and things aren’t as complicated as you make them. But truth is always simple. Here it is: The more you deal with…

#6. Self-forgiveness — In three months my life turned upside down. I was a wreck. The loss of my father was too sudden and traumatic. I believed “it’ll pass”. All I needed was time. I’ll go out with friends, travel, start university, and get over it. Sure. Meanwhile, things got worse by the day. Nothing clicked for me. No matter…

Petty illusions for your soul — I’d rather go through pain, depression, and failure and learn from all that, rather than live a life full of lies. To improve something in your life, you have to go through the bullshit. There’s no way around it. The “bullshit” is your limiting beliefs, hardships, anxieties and personal challenges…

I can’t think of anything else that’ll destroy your life quicker than dishonesty. If you’re not honest with yourself, you’ll make terrible decisions. You’ll stay in the wrong career. You’ll marry the wrong person. You’ll cut corners to make others happy. Your whole life will turn into a big pile…

Big balls of fire — I wish it was easier, but change takes time. True transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It takes time, effort, and willingness to make mistakes. I’ve failed hundreds of times with women, in my career, business, friends and whatnot. It’s painful. But necessary. I don’t know a better way to transform yourself…

“Life purpose” is the banana they give you — My work in marketing shaped the way I view the world. For the past eight years, I’ve seen how easy it can be to sell people different products if you know what to say and how. When stuff like fraud or scandal happens, my mind automatically wonders about the devices…

I got fired from my first marketing job as an intern. After a year and a half of that part-time job, the boss decided to let me go. They notified me by email. Then had a conversation with me. I was already struggling with my confidence and self-esteem, which made…

Be willing to fail or be a failure — I hate the word “loser”. It puts people down. On the other hand, I don’t feel sorry for those “losers” because they make their own choices. They decide not to approach that girl in the bar, or don’t look for a new job, or not take care of what they…
