Whether it’s magic or science, psychologists, mentalists, and doctors have proven that belief and self-image is a tangible force; it can heal the body, create and destroy fortunes, and open the mind to unseen opportunities.

If happiness is a choice (and I believe it is) then you gotta be gangster about it. No one but you lays claim to it—enemies, friends, families, torturers, material goods, “good” or “bad” twists of fortune…no one and nothing. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1 on Kindle.

I believe there’s usually a way (maybe always a way) to have the time of my life with whatever I’m doing. When thoughts creep in about how much better someone else has it, I remind myself that people can be absolutely miserable in the lap of luxury. The real treasure is focusing on how good I…

“What is comfortable in the long term?” Consistently asking that will lessen the need for willpower and encourage effective action. Focusing on long-term benefits is a good way to lessen cravings and be at ease with my personal burdens. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1 on Kindle. Vol. 2 on Kindle here: Vol.2 on Kindle Vol.…

Learn to enjoy the necessity (think of it as a contract you signed, an existential choice if you can) and it will become less of a prison and more of an adventure. Your mind will see less restrictions. And in their place, more options. Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1 on Kindle. Vol. 2 on…

Be ruthless about enjoying the journey, seeing the good in every step and everything around you. (Sometimes, you need to have faith that your horrible circumstances will lead to something good). Then you won’t be stuck on a single route. Better destinations (better than the one you’d originally fixated) on will make themselves apparent. Get Echo…
