Social media frequently showcases a carefully curated highlight reel, giving the illusion of a perpetual life of luxury and adventure. However, this is not an accurate representation of "life". Many of us succumb to this illusion, setting expectations that make ordinary days appear suboptimal. Life unfolds in 16-hour "mini-episodes", and it's these moments that truly matter, not the fantasy of future extravagance. In this episode, I discuss why people often view their lives as boring and how to escape it.

This realization might be a hard pill to swallow, but the truth is, there are individuals with less intellectual prowess than you that are making millions. The key lies in understanding the dynamics of money, a concept often muddled by traditional educational systems. Conventional schooling tends to instill a mindset that correlates intelligence, measured by grades, with earning potential. However, the reality is vastly different. Money doesn't necessarily flow towards the smartest individuals; rather, it tends to gravitate towards those who are action-oriented. In this episode, I discuss the unconventional truth about money and success.

As I've progressed in life, I find this belief to be increasingly true. However, the challenge lies in our growing fear of boredom and stillness. Many of us struggle to sit still for more than 5 minutes without seeking stimulation or noise, feeling discomfort in moments of silence. In this episode, I discuss the art of free-floating thought.
