“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken” ― Carl Sagan ...

“Your intuition knows what to do. The trick is getting your head to shut up so you can hear.” — Louise Smith “The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” —Albert Einstein We have this popular notion that success in life...
Scaling your business isn't just about increasing profits; it's about freedom and creating possibilities for yourself.

Invention, it must be humbly admitted, does not consist in creating out of void, but out of chaos – Mary Shelley (this article is written from the standpoint of a single person. In this context chaos means unpredictability in your personal life, not world anarchy). In life you have billions of potential axes of improvement. You can improve yo...
You’d be amazed at what you can accomplish when you give yourself no choice – Alex Hormozi This post’s title was supposed to be “Change the environment to change myself“. Because you should always try to change it for the better. It’s the most elegant path to progress. But while writing it I honestly asked myself wha...
No. If you have to ask such a question, the answer is no. 6 hours is not enough, if you have to ask it. (192,000 people a year google “is 6 hours of sleep enough” , just in the US) 7 hours is not enough, if you have to ask the question. (144,000 people a year google “is 7 hours of sleep enough”, just in the US) At 5 hours or...
What can be a nuanced perspective on love? By challenging traditional beliefs and emphasizing the importance of self-love as well as a realistic approach to relationships we get to embrace love without expectations, fostering healthier and more fulfilling connections.
I Grow Younger is built on the science that the way we think, read and write (including about self-help) is both driven and limited by the language we use. Every concept must have word(s) for it or it doesn’t really exist. There is more to it though. How do we turn this realization about language and current flawed models into a self-help system ...
Many struggle to understand the true significance of numbers. While we may excel in mathematical calculations, our intuition about numbers and their abstractions often falls short. Numbers can evoke strong emotions, both positive and negative. While they can provide temporary happiness or measure achievements, they can also lead to long-term unhap...
Long-Term Freedom is not just about making more money or achieving greater status. It's about making meaningful choices that destroy our barriers in life. By embracing change, challenging the status quo, and constantly seeking new ways to improve ourselves, we can reach our full potential and live a life of infinite possibilities.
Today we will talk about Multi-Level Marketing or MLM. You probably know about it from a hyped friend or relative who is trying to make some income on the side by selling products of the MLM company they represent. And while most sellers are decent, some people from MLM companies can be quite aggressive and inappropriate in their sales tactics. Her...
How often do you have time thoughts? “If only I had more time in the day…” “Once *this specific shit* is over, I’ll have more time for what I want to do…” “I’m not exercising because I don’t have the time…” Some people seem to get more done in a day than others in a week. How c...
Deal with the world as it is, not how you’d like it to be. – Jack Welch What is Social Justice? The Social Justice movement is a massive one. Its idealistic goals are a fair and equal treatment of all people, regardless of class, race, gender and sexual orientation. Historically this was not the case. Poor, non-white, female and LGBTQ peopl...
There were days when universities were the only way to acquire knowledge and meet people. Today the university is outdated both as a concept and as an individual institution. In most cases, the best teacher is looking at you from the mirror.

You were probably taught from a young age you need discipline to achieve success in life. Discipline is following specific rules, set by your past self or others. I don’t usually begin with a story, but here I will. We need to go as far away as possible in space and in time to really understand discipline. We need an example far detached from the...
Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom. Let’s give our children freedom. Trish Millines Dziko I strongly believe the education system is a relic, it has to be destroyed and completely rebuilt. We’ll focus on schools here but universities are often not much better. Much of the same applies there....
Inertia and Feeling Stuck in Life
Kalin Karakehayov, , bad habits, change, feeling stuck, inertia, 0The most constant force in our lives is Inertia. We delay change, avoid conflict and stick to what works, even if it doesn't work well. It's so familiar, it’s even called “The comfort zone”. Even if Inertia is an evolutionary relic, it doesn't feel that way. Only a more compelling force can help us out of Inertia - Love and Chaos.
Life – A Game of Expectations vs Reality
Kalin Karakehayov, , bad habits, consumerism, escapism, resources, success, 1Every time we encounter an obstacle we can ask: is this a Game of Self challenge or a Game of Life one? Is the problem in my head or based in reality? And if the answer is “it’s both”, then we must dive deeper until every part of it takes only Game of Self or Game of Life skills to fix.
Morality is not always absolute and can vary across cultures and individuals. Morality, while important, should not be the sole foundation for your personal development. Instead, focusing on finding happiness and freedom can lead to a more fulfilling life and greater social contribution.
