Your brain thinks normal life is boring because it's gotten used to constant euphoria. You see more on your phone in 30 minutes than people used to in their entire lives. You eat foods that are so sweet that, once you stop, they become disgusting. If you dropped any and all sources of instant pleasure for the next 30 days, you'd feel like a child again. Life would feel electric.

Kinda wild but most successful writers I know used to be gamers.
Makes sense though:
β’ Leveling up abilities (skills).
β’ Getting better gear (income).
β’ Unlocking new levels (challenges).
Business is made for nerds.

The path of 95% of beginners:
- Start posting
- Overcomplicate it
- Make zero progress
- Get discouraged
- Quit and blame everyone but yourself
Here's a course worth of information in 45 minutes to escape beginner hell (take notes):

I'm a @kortexco superfan.
Not just because @thedankoe, @joeyjusticeco, @TheMatthewAo are building an amazing product - they're turning the typical Silicon Valley startup playbook inside out.
This is the future of how amazing companies will be built: darrendunn.com/p/koe-vs-zuck

We need your help.
We're looking for your favorite creators who talk about:
- Writing
- Productivity
- Social media
- Knowledge management
That you could see working with @kortexco as we near public launch.
Small, medium, large, doesn't matter.
Tag them below.
The difference between:
Success and failure: is pursuing your passions and passing down the things you learn to one level below you, Vs horsing knowledge, never distributing it, and never growing from that.
Passion and Programming: are what you are drawn towards doing Vs what you are told you should do.
Happiness and Sadness: is pursing the things you enjoy and making a difference in your, and others, lives - Vs doing what was told would be best for you and being trapped in an endless cycle of hating your own life.
Success is found through passion and passion is found through doing what you enjoy. Enjoyment doesnβt require approval.

You can't find enjoyment in life because:
- You don't have a strong vision
- You didn't set the goals you're pursuing
- You try to play level 100 games when you are level 1, so you get anxious
You become obsessed with progress by treating life as a game:

The hardest part of working towards success is the first step.
Once you start, most things will fall into place naturally.
So, just start.

The most potent habit you can adopt:
Walking.
You burn calories. You get sunlight. You have more ideas. You munch on creative problems. You ease your anxiety.
Long walks can change your life:

You won't get rich quick.
But that doesn't mean you should get rich slow.
Investing your last few pennies to make a million or so by the time you are 40 is the definition of boring while living in a potential-numbing scarcity mindset.
Another option:

Everyone tells you to become valuable, or to publish value, or to give value.
But nobody ever tells you what value is.
Value is an equation that anyone can learn to get more of what they want out of life:
