The smartest people I know, who are not necessarily academically gifted possess weapons grade pattern recognition that they use mercilessly in every facet of their lives and that’s really scary

A religious person will do whatever he is told, no matter what is right. The spiritual person will do what is right, no matter what he is told. -Zen teaching

I noticed something

The real purpose of wealth is to have the calm to live your life your way. It's to have the freedom to slow down. To spend your days doing things that you actually care about. That’s what money is really for. Not to impress strangers. Or to collect expensive distractions. But to own your time. To have a quiet breakfast without checking emails. Long dinners without looking at the clock. Conversations without feeling rushed. A calm weekend without thinking about the spreadsheet you need to turn in on Tuesday. Time to read. To think. To explore your interests. That’s real wealth. Everything else is noise.

People with high self-awareness become very picky. They can't stand fake people at all. The sweet tongued. The show-offs. The ones who perform a personality instead of having one. What they really want is real. Raw conversations. People who say what they mean and mean what they say. Not charm, character. Because once you’ve seen enough of these "masks", authenticity is the only thing that feels attractive.
