Rarely-Asked Questions

Answers to questions you didn’t ask me, but I’d love to share with you anyway. 🙂

🧔🏻 What does it mean to be a man?

One who does what has to be done at all times, whether he feels like it or not.

One who lives life with a fire in his belly, a higher purpose – Thumos.

💭 What recent habits have given you immense personal growth?

Meditation, Contemplation and Journaling. I can’t believe I’d lived so long without practicing them.

How I practice them:

• Guided Meditation – Waking Up by Sam Harris
• Contemplation – Contemplation With a Journal by Actualized.org
• Journaling – Daily appreciation and gratitude + Weekly journaling on what went well, didn’t go well and action items

⭐ If you could only have one virtue, which would it be?

Courage. It is the mother virtue. With it, you can acquire every other virtue.

An excellent book if you’re looking to build courage – Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway by Susan Jeffers

🤔 What are your life goals?

Live each moment without sacrificing today for an imaginary tomorrow.

Make people wiser, instill them with power and purpose, and put their innate greatness on display for the world.

Become a magician of words, and earn my bread through my magic.
