2. Who can you out-sacrifice
3. To forgive is to understand: Anger is ignorance
4. If you zoom out, you can't see the earth.
   1. Things that matter today will not matter in 500 million years (legacy isn’`t real)
   2. Change your mind; the universe will not change for you.
5. We don't deserve anything: our suffering is just unmet expectations.
6. Water rising mentality: It's always going to get more complicated.
7. Money can’t buy happiness, but poverty can’t believe anything.
8. Don't orient yourself around other people: some provide value to your life, and others do not.
9. Comparison is not the thief's joy but instead relative judgment. (Think,” I can get there!”)
10. Document your loses: Think about how many people have gone through what you've gone through (So what — now, what mentality)
11. if everyone was wired like you the world would be boring (bullshitting makes you a bullshitter)
12. Failing doesn't make you a failure.
13. It is not am information overload; it is implementation underload.

2. How much time does it cost you per asset?
3. Minimize expenses; invest saved money in yourself:
   • Books
   • Seminars
   • Courses
4. Constantly drain account to invest in self to be held accountable.
   • Business is cyclical; every good time is followed by a not-so-good time.
   • Take money out during good times to invest in yourself. </aside>
