đ¶ Why I haven't gotten any writing done -Â
- This month, after over a 100 hours, I made a 2:24 song (with a music video!). While there are many things I'd like to change / improve, I'm strangely satisfied because 31 days ago finishing a song didn't even seem possible. Now, as many people will be glad to hear, I'm going to get back to writing that protein article :)

đ What policy I'm implementing -Â
- Last year I spent a lot of time preparing for the 2020 Challenge (which is to create 1 song / month every month this year). I took courses. Lessons. I have over 250 pages of notes on lyric and melody writing, music production, and mixing. But I learned 10X more this month than all of 2019 combined by simply DOING IT. I am now giving myself a firm policy: No learning without
doing.

 đšÂ What compounded -Â
- My 2019 Challenge was to learn how to draw by spending at least 5 minutes, 5 days/week practicing. My nephew was the 1st picture I drew in Jan 2019 and the last one I started in December 2019 (finished it in Jan 2020 - almost exactly 1 year apart). Crazy how a little consistency can compound.

đ How to be successful  -

đ§ What quotes I've been thinking about -
Â
Mamba Mentality
Â
âMamba mentality is⊠that infinite curiosity to want to be better, to figure things out. Mamba mentality is youâre going, youâre competing, youâre not worried about the end result. Youâre not worried about what people may say. Youâre not worried about disappointing others. Youâre not worried about any of that, youâre just focused on
being in the moment. Thatâs what mamba mentality truly is.â
Â
Greatness
Â
"I think the definition of greatness is to inspire the people next to you. I think that's what greatness is, or should be. It's not something that lives and dies with one person. It's how an you inspire a person to then in turn inspire another person that then inspires another person. That's how you create something that I think lasts forever. I think that's our challenge as people, is to figure out how our story can impact others and motivate them in a way to
create their own greatness."

â Kobe Bryant

đČ What's your net worth -Â
- I like Tim Ferriss. He's a bestselling author and well-known podcaster, and I remember him saying something along the lines of "your net worth is your network." This week I came across an article that reminded me of this saying. It shares a similar sentiment outlining 6 key life moments that shouldn't be taken lightly.
