2 days agoI'm 66 and I sold the business I built over two decades for more money than I ever thought I'd see - and I spent the first week staring at my bank account trying to figure out why I didn't feel anything, and I finally understood that the money was never the point, the building was the point, and once it was gone I had to meet the version of myself who wasn't building something anymore - Silicon Canals
The money was supposed to feel like something. You work your whole life thinking about the payoff. The day you can finally relax. The moment you don't have to worry about making payroll or whether that big invoice will come through.

8 hours agoPsychology says the people described as having a strong personality aren't dominant or difficult, they're the ones who stopped softening themselves to make every room comfortable, and what reads as intensity from the outside is just the absence of the apology most people are still adding to every sentence - Silicon Canals
People often misinterpret strong personalities as difficult, but they may simply be unafraid to express themselves without apology.
Mindfulness

1 day agoIf you've been trying to change your life and keep ending up in the same patterns, the problem probably isn't the plan, it's that the part of you making the plan is the same part of you that built the life you're trying to change - Silicon Canals
Current mindset limits the ability to create meaningful change; the same self cannot solve the problems it created.

2 weeks agoAfter a disappointing college experience, I was determined to make postgrad life better. Now I'm thriving.
Social anxiety and depression had other plans, leaving me in an ugly cycle of self-isolation and rumination. Terrified of rejection, I'd meet someone interesting during one of my English lectures and invite them out for frozen yogurt in my head.

Delaying happiness for future rewards leads to increased misery in the present without guaranteeing future satisfaction.

2 months agoHow I Built Meaningful Success After Leaving Corporate Life
As an Asian-American kid growing up to an immigrant mom in North Carolina, I was taught to follow the rules (no exceptions). I was a Boy Scout, graduated top of my class and was hired by Goldman Sachs immediately after graduating undergrad. I had followed what I thought was the "right" path. I was living in the greatest city in the world (New York City, of course) and working at one of the best companies in the world ... but none of it felt right.
