Street Smarts

Book smarts is learned from another person’s knowledge

Street smarts is learned from your own screwups

Leverage both

'How come we aren't taught street smarts growing up?'

Because street smarts aren’t taught

It is uncovered

Life isn't like school

School is structured

Life is chaotic

Which is why book smarts alone won't have you winning

My philosophy is to lead with street smarts & back it up with book smarts

Strategic risks are what uncovers your hidden street smarts

Don't go off robbing a bank because it’s risky

Rather let your gut lead you & your brain verify

If all the boxes check out, then pull the trigger

The sharper your street smarts the more you can leverage book smarts

Because now you can tell which knowledge will help you in your journey & which is just fluff

The real world favors the brave ones who are well informed

Not the brute who just takes risks

Or the nerd who hides behind his IQ score all day

But the brave ones who are well informed

Emotional Intelligence in a Nutshell:

-Emotions come in waves

-It's not a life sentence

When you learn this, you can look at emotions as a 3rd party observer vs. a 1st party participant

If you haven't picked up the lesson, I'm teaching you the art of detachment

When you become emotionally intelligent, you see life from a different angle

You work WITH your emotions rather than AGAINST them

This melts your internal tension

Working against your emotions is like trying to swim against a tsunami

It'll ALWAYS end bad for you

But when you learn to tame the tsunami, then you learn to ride the waves

This is key to reaching peace

Detachment is huge because you become more strategic vs. impulsive

Your emotions aren't the boogeyman

Rather, it's just a compass

Your emotions are a gateway to building self-awareness

Things that scare you are a compass of thing that you should be doing

Things that make you happy are things that you should be grateful for

Your emotions are just data, not a life sentence

Emotions are just waves

Just clouds that come & go

But ultimately, the sky remains

The sky is you

Never forget that

Selfish to Selfless
