🌅 How I Get Up Before 4 (Sometimes Even at 3 AM) Imagine waking up at 3 AM — not tired, not forced by an alarm, but naturally, with overflowing energy. That’s my life today. But it didn’t begin this way. It began with chaos, distraction, and me hiding inside a “perfect” marriage. For years I told myself I wanted to wake up early, but I stayed up until midnight and dragged myself out of bed at 7 with an alarm. The secret wasn’t willpower. 👉 The real key was energy management. In this post, I’m going to share how I did it gradually — and the system that keeps me going. Start In the second half of last year, I was lost in chaos and distractions. Deep down, I promised myself: next year will be different. ...

Secret Behind 50% YTD — Closing Energy Leaks Changed Everything For years, my biggest energy leaks were not in my habits or routines. They were in my marriage — and in my relationship with my mom. In my marriage, I kept losing energy. There was tension we didn’t talk about. Needs that were not met. I was holding together something that drained me more than it gave me. With my mom, it was her constant criticism. Her comparisons. Her undermining. Even when she thought she was helping, I always walked away feeling smaller, weaker, less myself. At the time, I didn’t see it clearly. I thought the answer was to push harder. To be more positive. To use more willpower. To try another productivity hack. I even told the Italian man I met at the gym: “I don’t want to complain. I want to stay positive.” ...

I thought love was about holding on to someone… until life showed me that the greatest gift of love is awakening. Opening We met at the gym for months. Altogether, we only talked for about ten minutes. He suggested having coffee several times, but I always refused. Then in May, he told me he would be leaving soon. And he asked me to do him a favor: to finally have a coffee with him. So I did. We met at Starbucks — three times, three cups of coffee over three weeks. And somewhere between those conversations, I saw love in his eyes, and I fell in love with him. And then, as planned, he left. The Gift of Leaving I used to think meeting him was the best gift of my life. Because he awakened me. He saw me. He recognized me. He mirrored back a part of me I had forgotten. ...

The 3 Mental Models That Cover 80% of Life’s Best Decisions Life is, at its core, about decision-making. Every day we make choices — big and small — and over time, the quality of those choices shapes the quality of our lives. Investing has been my unexpected masterclass in decision-making. The same thinking I use to decide Buy, Hold, or Sell? is the thinking I use to decide Say yes, say no, or wait? in life. The beauty of investing is that it demands constant decisions and gives immediate feedback in the form of gains or losses. Over time, it becomes a thinking gym — strengthening not just what you know, but how you think. From my years of investing, three mental models stand out as powerful enough to guide more than 90% of good decision-making in the market: ...

Life Is Filled With Paradox What I’ve learned after 40: The truth lives in the tension between opposites. The deeper I walk on this path, the more I realize: Life doesn’t operate in straight lines — it flows in paradox. It’s not either/or — it’s both, woven together. And through my own experience, I’ve seen how truth often hides in contradiction. You Want Abundance? Give First. I began giving generously in May — money,encouragement, kindness, love. Since then, my stock portfolio started rising. Coincidence? Or energy flow? True abundance begins when you stop clutching and start contributing. You Pick the Shortcut, But It Takes You Longer I married a rich kid to take a shortcut — but eventually, the marriage became draining. ...
