Ideas That Changed My Life

These are groundbreaking ideas that have changed the course of my life. Some came from books, some from conversations, and some from hard-won experience. Each one changed how I act, what I pay attention to, or what I believe is possible.

I'm expanding these over time with the stories behind them. For now, this is the short list I keep coming back to.

  • You are in charge of your own education. Stop waiting for people to choose you, and choose yourself.
  • Money is abundant.
  • Your life tops out at 60% if you don't exercise your body. You need to exercise if you want to squeeze that 40% remaining out of your life.
  • The VIEW framework for cultivating empathy and connection.
