It took me...
200+ articles before I got a book deal.
250+ articles before I got major media coverage (NYT).
100+ interviews before my book hit the bestseller list.
You need a lot of shots on goal. Not everything will work, but some of it will.
Keep shooting.

Tearing someone down is a short term play. Building others up is a long term play.
Surround yourself with people who play the long game.

“It’s easy to assume that getting rich in money will also mean you are rich in time, but it is often the case that when you earn more money, you end up with less time and more responsibilities.
Being rich is nice, but what you really want to optimize for is
(1) an income that exceeds your spending by a healthy margin and
(2) a lifestyle that is free from rushing.”

You don't need a goal, you need a theme:"
With a theme, happiness becomes more about how you behave rather than what you achieve. Life is not a series of wins and losses. Though our highs and lows may shock us, lift us up, and forever shape our memories, they do not define us. Most of life happens in the in-between, and what we want in life must be found there."- Niklas Goke

Many things in life go through phases. It can be like the seasons: spring, summer, fall, winter. Each season has its own set of needs and demands.
Think about something important to you. Maybe it’s a project or a job. Perhaps a hobby or even a relationship. What season are you in right now and what does that season require?

“Opportunities are grains of sand. They slide right past drooping fingers, but an active palm can gather whatever is within reach and shape it into a little castle. It is the act of engaging with the material that gives it shape.”

“The rules:
(1) know precisely what you want,
(2) determine the cost of what it will take to get it,
(3) don’t bargain over the price.”

Theologian and philosopher Soren Kierkegaard on the power of walking:
“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk: every day I walk myself into a state of well-being and walk away from every illness; I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. Even if one were to walk for one’s health and it were constantly one station ahead—I would still say: Walk!
Besides, it is also apparent that in walking one constantly gets as close to well-being as possible, even if one does not quite reach it—but by sitting still, and the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Health and salvation can be found only in motion… if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”
