BC 7 HABITS IN 20S
Saved by @beingpuneity

7 habits that’ll get you ahead of 95% of people in their 20s:

 Solitude.

Learn to enjoy your own company.

Travel alone.
Take walks alone.
Go to cafes alone.

Learn to be happy alone so you don’t waste your life chasing validation from others.
Delaying Gratification.

Every day, your dopamine is being drained.

• Phones
• Social media
• Hyper-palatable foods

This causes you to hop from stimulus to stimulus.

Over time, you become like 90% of people…

Unable to focus for more than 5 minutes.
Make it a daily habit to delay gratification.

Pick 1 habit:

• Writing
• Reading
• Meditation

Anything with no immediate reward.

Practice it for 5 minutes and up the time every session.

Over a period of week/months, you’ll develop laser-like focus.
Writing.

Writing is focused thinking.

It forces you to develop 1 idea at a time.

Just like your body can’t build muscle without exertion, your mind can’t build understanding without exertion.

Block out 1 hour a day - no notifications, no people - and write.
Questioning.

Questioning conditions you to look for answers:

• Who can help the most?
• What can be done better?
• How can it be done faster?

Asking questions will open loops in your brain and force it to find answers.
Taking Tactical Risks.

Your risk to reward ratio will never be better than in your 20s.

You can fuck up for 10 years straight and still be okay in your 30s.

Your downside is limited to 0 but your upside is limitless.
Don’t waster your 20s.

If you have low risk:

• No kids
• Few liabilities
• Zero dependants

You can take “high” risks with:

• Business
• Investments
• Opportunities

Chase your “unrealistic” goals.
Giving Without Expectation.

Relationships shouldn’t be transactional.

Make friends with ambitious people and make it a habit to give value with 0 expectations.

This results in 10x returns.

Goodwill compounds.
Saying “No.”

“Yes” to one opportunity is “no” to another.

Your focus is your most powerful currency and your time is your most important asset.

Save it for what will move the needle the most.

Say no to everything else.
7 habits that’ll get you ahead of 95% of people in their 20s:

1. Solitude
2. Delaying gratification
3. Writing
4. Questioning
5. Taking tactical risks
6. Giving without expectations
7. Saying “no”

1/ Here’s a list of conversational frameworks I’ve picked up that have been helpful.

Please add your own.

2/ The Magic Question: "What would need to be true for you


3/ On evaluating where someone’s head is at regarding a topic they are being wishy-washy about or delaying.

“Gun to the head—what would you decide now?”

“Fast forward 6 months after your sabbatical--how would you decide: what criteria is most important to you?”

4/ Other Q’s re: decisions:

“Putting aside a list of pros/cons, what’s the *one* reason you’re doing this?” “Why is that the most important reason?”

“What’s end-game here?”

“What does success look like in a world where you pick that path?”

5/ When listening, after empathizing, and wanting to help them make their own decisions without imposing your world view:

“What would the best version of yourself do”?

Shy people are either overthinking or highly observant of the social setting.

And in many cases it can be both.

'So what do I do?'

You learn the 75/25 law.

'What is that?'

The law of charisma...👇

Let's address the over thinkers first.

Do you have any idea why you overthink?

'Yea. Because others are judging how shy I am.'

Incorrect.

Others are thinking about themselves, not you.

But the fact that you think they are thinking about you, you fuck up the interaction.

Now you stay in your head too much & avoid the present moment.

A major no no in the social world.

Your tendency to think that others are judging you for being shy, coincidentally makes you more shy.

And that's when you start giving off a strange vibration to the social setting.

This is when you begin attracting comments like 'why are you so quiet?'

Okay look - I didn’t grow up with comic books. But I read stacks of science fiction digests and I kit-bashed model cars into fantasy rods, and just tried to maintain a low profile until I could get out of the house. So you could say I’m a distant cousin of the comic book fan. /1

And sometimes one’s childhood passion follows them into adulthood, sometimes not, sometimes as an adult one finds a passion they never had as a child and embraces it. For me, that must include getting involved with a puppet show at the age of thirty. /2

So who’s to say whose passion’s legitimate and whose is bogus? Nobody. Someone might indict your passion but they have no ground to stand on and should be dismissed out of hand. /3

Maybe they’re envious that you have a passion, maybe they think that their passion is cooler than yours, or maybe they’re just insecure, who knows. Doesn’t matter. /4

What matters is that if something gives you joy, and in the process doesn’t hurt others, then by all means follow it. It’s how we explore our secret hopes, our shadow sides, our inner character. /5

Samayapuram Mariamman Temple
#Trichy
#Tamilnadutemples 🚩

Samayapuram Mariamman Temple is located in Samayapuram of
 Tiruchirappalli district.  Mariyamman here is worshipped as Samayapurathal a form of Parashakti.
Amman vigraham here is made of sand and clay so


no abhishekam done to the main vigraham. Samayapuram Mariamman Temple is one of the famous Shakthi Sthal of Tamilnadu.

Story says that paramashiva created Kali, out of the poison that he drank during samudra mathanam.  As Devi originated from the Kaalakoota/ halahala poison,


thus the name Kaali. Mariamman is believed to be a form of Kaali, and is also known as Mahamayi. It is also believed that Maharaja Dasharatha offered his prayers here.

Mariamman is Parashakti herself who blesses with prosperity and she is believed to cure all diseases.


Paramashiva, Mahavishnu and Brahma Deva are believed to have taken blessings of Mariamman here.

Om Shakti Para Shakti

I get asked for writing tips a lot. Of all the ones I’ve given, here are a few of the ones that seem to hold true and remain somewhat universal or at least mostly unobjectionable:

#amwriting #writingtips

1. If you are a fast writer (i.e., if you compose first drafts very quickly) then you absolutely must become a slow editor. Much of what I call “writing” is really, for me, editing.

2. If you don’t read you cannot write a lot or well. Sure, maybe you can read like a maniac for a decade and then read less after that, but without some large volume of intake, there will never be a meaningful output.

2.1 I sometimes say that I feel like writing without reading is like trying to run a marathan on a cracker. And sadly I see many students struggling to write when they have simply never read enough to fuel that demand of the task at hand.

3. All writing is writing if one decides to treat it that way. If one takes some degree of intentional will when sending emails, posting on social media and writing notes and marginalia, then all of that can count as meaningful daily writing.
