“Choose a path.
Stay with your path.
Be ready to face obstacles.
Even if you take a wrong turn, at least it will be your turn, your life, your mistake.”

    Nobody is rooting for you to fail.

    You may succeed. You may fail. But, for the most part, nobody cares one way or the other.

    This is good. The world is big and you are small, which means you can chase your dreams with little worry for what people think.

    1) Do less. Stop dividing your attention.

    2) Do it right now. Once you have identified the essential, go fast. Maintain a bias toward action.

    3) Do it the right way. Acting quickly doesn’t mean acting carelessly. Get to work right away, but keep working on it until it’s right.

    From the Art of Manliness:

    … you eventually leave the vicissitudes of puberty behind. You find your footing. You become more secure in who you are, and your identity has less and less to do with your status amongst others. Your sense of self-consciousness plummets, while your sense of not giving a shit soars.

    Or, at least, that used to be the common life trajectory. Before the dawn of social media.

    On these platforms, being liked literally remains the coin of the realm. You still want your choices to meet with approval. You’re still tempted to engage in cringey behavior for attention. You still find yourself framing your identity for the consumption of peers.

    One of the traditional advantages of getting older, is that the energy once fruitlessly lent to caring what people think, can be channeled into being productively generative.

    What will happen, then, if twenty, thirty years out from eighth grade, people never make that shift?

    What will be the cost, to the individual, and to society, if social media forever keeps people in the other-directed haze of adolescence, never to fully grow up?

    Sunday Firesides: Social Media Is Extending Everyone’s Adolescence

    People almost universally recall their adolescence, at least the part encapsulated by the middle school years, as their least favorite phase of life. It’s a time in which you keenly feel the eyes of your peers upon you. You wonder whether you’re cool. And you desperately, desperately want to be cool. You want to be […]

    Most people don’t fix their diet and don’t exercise until they have health issues. They don’t learn anything until they have to. They don’t invest money when they could. They don’t appreciate enough their family and friends when they are still around.

    Don’t be most people.
