What life lesson would you tell your younger self?
A common theme I noticed in 2025: Everyone is craving more connection. Use these friend nights to make it happen in 2026. Send this to the people you want to do these with.

A rule that we can all benefit from. Arnold Schwarzenegger on complaining: I have a rule: no complaining about a situation unless you’re prepared to do something to make it better. If you see a problem and you don’t come to the table with a potential solution, I don’t want to hear your whining about how bad it is. It couldn’t be that bad if it hasn’t motivated you to try to fix it. This was a big mindset shift for me. Think about it—when has complaining ever helped you? Why choose to repeatedly relive a problem instead of redirecting that energy toward solving it? And if you can’t solve it right now, you’re better off ignoring it entirely. The science backs this up: A 2023 study found that learning to suppress unhelpful thoughts—rather than dwell on them—can actually improve mental health. So, when something’s bothering you, consider these two options: 1. Take responsibility and do something to make it better. 2. Acknowledge it’s not worth your energy—and let it go. Everything else? Complaining, ruminating, obsessing—just keeps you stuck. Choose action. Or choose release.

If I know one thing for certain, it’s this: The quality of your experiences will be largely determined by the people you surround yourself with. This applies to nearly every aspect of life: Who you work with. Who you travel with. Who you start a business with. Who you choose to spend your life with. Setting and achieving goals matters, but ultimately, it’s the relationships you build along the way that you’ll remember. Not convinced? Harvard’s 85-year-long study of human happiness determined that the secret of wellbeing can be summed up in five words: The quality of your relationships. Here are 5 ways I’ve made this a priority in 2025: 1️⃣ Audit your circle I know it sounds harsh, but not everyone should have front-row access to your life. Notice how you feel after time with someone. Do you leave feeling energized or drained? That’s your clue. 2️⃣ Less time on social media (ironic, I know) Social media gives a false sense of connection. It’s fool’s gold—shiny on the surface, but lacking real substance. Deep connections are built through time spent together in person, not through pixels on a screen. 3️⃣ Plan memories Yes, you can plan memories. Think about the best times you’ve had with your friends or family. What did those moments have in common? Plan more events like those—simple as that. 4️⃣ Seek out new interests It’s never too late to try something new, and it’s usually the best way to meet like-minded people. 5️⃣ Schedule relationship time The easiest way to tell if something’s a priority—is it on your calendar or not? You schedule work meetings and doctor’s appointments because they’re important. Why not do the same for catching up with a friend or calling a family member.

I’m going analog for 2026. Don’t get me wrong—I still want to have an internet presence and use Spotify from time to time. But I am making a conscious effort to live more of my life offline. That means: Reading real books. Writing things down in a journal. Leaving my phone at home for walks and coffee runs. Taking photos on film and getting them developed. Buying albums on vinyl instead of streaming everything. Meeting friends for coffee instead of catching up over DMs. Using the internet intentionally, not reflexively. Not trying to go full Luddite here. Just realizing that most of what I actually want to do: deep conversations, creative thinking, being present—happens when I'm not staring at a screen. Who’s with me?

A reframe about health I can't stop thinking about: “If you switched bodies with the person you love most for a year, how would you take care of their mind & body knowing you'd be giving it back to them? How would you take care of that person you love the most? Now do that for you.” This idea came at the perfect time for me. I spent the last week moving into a new apartment. The good news is I love it. The bad news is that in the heat of moving, my healthy habits went completely out the window. UberEats for every meal. Hardly any gym. Sleep schedule trashed. I'm cutting myself some slack because moving is a nightmare. But there's a pattern here I can't ignore: Whenever life gets hectic, my health habits are always the first thing to slide. This reframe was the kick in the butt I needed to get back on track. And the next time I catch myself slipping into this pattern (because there will be a next time), I'll be coming back to this question. ——— I write a weekly newsletter where I share 5 ideas like this.

I saw this on Substack and loved it. There's a big difference between feeling your emotions and being your emotions. The former is healthy. The latter, not so much. Because when you start saying things like “I am anxious” or “I am lazy,” you're not just describing a passing state. You're telling yourself a story about who you are. You're turning a temporary feeling into a permanent fixture of your identity. And the more you repeat this story, the more it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. A small shift in language helps break that loop. P.S. Anxiety disorders are real (I know from experience). This reframe doesn’t solve that, but it can still help.

5 ways to actually practice gratitude in your life: 1. Look for glimmers Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. They're those tiny moments in your day that make you feel joy, peace, or gratitude. Once you train your brain to be on the lookout for them, they start appearing everywhere. 2. Snap a joy photo Take one picture per day of something that brought you joy. A cup of coffee, a funny street sign, the way the sunlight hits your desk. Not for social media—just for you. 3. Say it when you feel it When someone does something you appreciate, actually tell them. Doesn't have to be profound. Just: "I'm glad you're in my life" or "Thanks for always making me laugh." 4. Practice future nostalgia Throughout your day, pause and ask: "Will I miss this moment someday?" Your current morning routine, the commute you complain about, even your kid's phase of asking "why?" fifty times a day. 5. Add an upside to your complaints If you catch yourself venting about something, tack on one small silver lining. "This weather is awful…but at least I get to wear my favorite jacket." ——— I write a weekly newsletter where I share 5 ideas like this.

This quote isn’t really about envelopes. Well it is, but it’s about so much more than that. The lesson: Just because something can be outsourced doesn't mean it should be. Sure, you might save time by batching errands or automating them away, but you also lose the small, unplanned interactions that make life feel alive. Those little “frictions” are often what give life its texture.

5 simple mindset shifts that will change your life: 1️⃣ I have to → I get to What feels like a burden today might be what you miss most tomorrow. Gratitude turns obligation into opportunity. ❌ “I have to pick up my kids” ✅ “I get to pick up my kids and make memories with them.” ——— 2️⃣ I can't → I’ll learn The master has failed more times than the beginner has tried. Falling short isn’t a failure, it’s a sign you haven’t logged enough reps yet. ❌ “I can't do this” ✅ “I’ll learn this if I stick with it long enough.” ——— 3️⃣ I'm quitting ---> I'm pivoting Sometimes you have to climb down the wrong mountain so you can start climbing up the right one. ❌ “I’ve spent 5 years on this, I can’t quit now.” ✅ “I’ve spent 5 years on this, better to cut my losses now and move toward something I enjoy.” ——— 4️⃣ I need motivation → I need momentum You don’t wait for motivation, you build it. Motion beats mood. ❌ “I just don’t feel like it today” ✅ “If I do 5 minutes, I’ll probably keep going.” ——— 5️⃣ I got rejected → I got redirected Rejection isn't the end, it's simply life pointing you in a different direction. One day, you’ll look back and realize these were the moments that shaped your path. ❌ “They said no—I guess that door’s closed.” ✅ “They said no, maybe that wasn’t my door. I’ll keep building until the right one opens.” ——— ✍️ Which mindset shift changed your life? ♻️ Repost this to help out your network. Quote credit: unknown

The Sunk Cost Fallacy is a real a-hole. Right now, there are millions of people stuck in a job, a relationship, a degree, or a city they no longer love—simply because they’ve already spent so much time there. Maybe you're one of them. Maybe part of you knows it’s not working…but the other part whispers, “I’ve already put in five years.” Here’s the truth: time spent is not a reason to spend more. Staying stuck doesn’t get your time back. It just costs you more of it.
