[@jamesbrincefield9879]

I have “Stay the Course” written on the whiteboard in my office and I look at it whenever I make any market-related decisions. This is far from the only example, but it’s what caused me not to sell out of my bitcoin holdings this past summer. Instead I stayed the course and now it’s worth enough that I could just buy a brand new Mercedes or something outright if I wanted to, but I wouldn’t do something that stupid with it. The craziest I’ve gotten is finally convincing myself that $128 dollars wasn’t too much to pay for a pair of joggers and I paid for some renovations my parents had been wanting to make to their home.

[@returnoftheduelist9790]

This was some real talk rudy; sleep, quality eating, keeping active, taking steps away form social media, realizing that the grass will always be greener, and so on. A lot of young men like myself in our 20s are having a real hard time in life with jobs, women, and being happy; been a long battle for myself and i hope i get my act together and stop letting outside sources get to me.

[@Verlisify]

I hate how social media has changed everything while having no value in its current state. Instead of being used to keep people connected and informed in a meaningful way its all about trashing others for fake points that don't matter. Since hard working, responsible, people stay away from the platform its really just the lowest performers in society being emotional at each other all day and that becomes the expectation for life.

[@justinsnider9772]

100% agree. If it’s not something positive or interesting I’ve started blocking all social media drama from my life, just not worth stressing out about toxic people and drama.

[@ricardoblikman2676]

It's not about social media bit it's about which social media you watch and how your brain digest it. Watching Rudy or reversed investments is social media as well and in my opinion is positive unless you have learning problems and hate people like Rudy because he is rich and you are not he would be like most people if he did not used his education and creditcard leverage to operate on a certain scale, he took a huge risk and it doesn't matter in hindsight it could have resulted in a massive loss no matter how good your decision is because there are always outside factors that you cannot predict nor influence. Example if you truly believe and understand apple in 2011 and know that even without Steve Jobs would be selling iPhones you could have made some money buying apple stock for 11$ each, if you had this knowledge and can leverage 1.000.000$ and buy apple stock for 11$ you you would have profit several 10ns of million dollars. And all of a sudden where you would have normally made 400.000$and be very happy now you made 40.000.000$ and you are 4% in the billionaire club.

[@Just_Pele]

and now it's even worse, as one side is legitimately trying to destroy the other and cut them off from communicating all-together. It's getting uglier.

Rudy my husband and I wanted to say thank you so much for taking time from your busy schedule to share this amazing experience you have gone through. Your way ahead of your time. We ran into your channel in October of 2020. Imagine being 53 and trying to start what it is you need to do or what is your calling..🤔😞 we started looking into FAB and fell in love with the game. We started our small collection and it fells so good. The money is nothing compared to the fun and ride of learning something new and exciting. Sending you and your loved ones much love. Hopefully this year we can all spread positivity instead of negativity. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

[@erveyvazquez8842]

These type of videos are my personal favorite of yours. I'm aspiring to become a pro illustrator (hopefully MTG level) and I find your life experiences and advice to be very encouraging when I think about what's going on with my own life. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Rudy, such great advice for anyone out there trying to find a purpose in their life. I’ve literally been fumbling around the last 8 years trying to find my way and most of that time I was doing what you were just talking about with chasing the money. You’re right finding your niche and blending that with what you love is the way to be happy with your work. In this last year I finally feel like I’m getting closer and closer each day to achieving that. Thank you for sitting down and taking a second to just share your experiences with all of us.

Okay, you convinced me with your wisdom. I like how you said to find your own rhythm and I appreciate that. I think I'll become a patron now.

First time someone telling me they actually need 8-9 hours of sleep. Everyone else boasting about how they can sleep less than 6 hours or something.

[@FreshDeus]

Watch Matthew Walker on Joe Rogan. Lifechanging podcast.

[@Volkbrecht]

Actually you can get by on 6 hours for a while. Sleep happens in cycles of approx. 2 hours. If you wake up after 3 of those, you will still feel fairly well rested and get through the day allright. Also, it largely depends on what it is that you do. Lack of sleep kills your ability to concentrate, to spend energy on cerebral pursuits. As a craftsman, who's up on his feet a lot and working physically, you might not even notice that you're sleep-deprived while you're tinkering away. But sit down to do some work planning or project calculations, and you may notice that you find that rather hard, that you're quickly getting tired even though you felt fit a minute ago. Plus there are really people out there who are just weird mutants, who don't need much sleep. Not a lot, but medicine knows them.

My profession requires me to be on the phone and constantly talk. I have time each day for that and then for tasks that require concentration I turn my phone off for 30mins intervals. I have kids so I have to check my phone every 30mins. Turn OFF notifications! They are the bane of your existence. Most people schedule their calendar in hour blocks. Try switching this to 20 min blocks. This can help immensely with repetitive tasks. Instead of 8 - 12 work hours per day. You have 24 - 36, 20min work blocks which really helped me. Thinking in mins helped me focus more as well. I am self-employed and eat what I kill so if your life is very different this may not be as helpful.
