Where am I most obsessively focused for the foreseeable future? In no particular order:

Doing

• YouTube — I am refocusing on the creation of content. Currently, I am in the process on figuring out where I want to go with it all since my life changed a lot and I want my content to grow with my journey.
• Lifestyle Changes — Creating a new daily routine which gives me more momentum and energy. I am exploring how I can improve my life and share the findings on my YouTube Channel.
• Being a Digital Nomad (again) — I am nomadic with my partner Nicole. We are switching countries every 2 - 4 months. This is something I always built toward. I took a pause and had a homebase for 3 years in Germany but now it’s time to travel again.
• Niyama.Academy — Building an online Yoga Studio with Live Classes and On-Demand Video Courses. Right now it’s all in German.

I’m happy to discuss opportunities around any and all these ideas.

Learning

• Letting Go of Expectations — For the longest time I procrastinated way too much because I thought what I am making is not good enough. I am now learning to let that go and just create what I can create in this moment. It’s not going to be perfect and that’s ok.

Reading

I am currently not actively reading. Sometimes I pick up a book but not in any kind of routine. This type of break feels needed to get more work done.

Principles I try to Live By

• ONE – One thing at a time. If situation requires, apply Pareto’s Principle. If situation does not require, do what you want first.
• Externalize distractions – When working, distractions will surface. If need be, write it down, then return to your Thing. After your session, examine the list. Delete the nonsense, knock off the quick tasks, and delegate the trivial. And then, return to the Thing.
• Celebrate everyday successes – Practice gratitude, spread love. Life’s too important to be taken seriously.
• Competition – The only competition you have is yourself.
• Changing people – You can’t change other people. You can only change yourself…
• Dauntless – Fear is a disempowering emotion to live with. Your real self is not filled with fear. Discard it, and you will be set free.
• STOIC – Someone who does not give a shit about the stupid things in this world that most people care so much about. Stoics do have emotions, but only for the things in this world that really matter. They are the most real people alive.

  Kid – “Hey man, yur a fuckin faggot an you suck cock!”
  Stoic – “Good for you.”
  Keeps going.
