“The life we receive is not short, but we make it so, nor do we have any lack of it, but are wasteful of it.

-On the shortness of life by Seneca, translated by John W. Basore (link)

1:59am - Happy New Year Reader, from Akash!

Focus on the long term this year. Allow thoughts to move, to come and go, the thoughts like:

“What if they don’t like me? What if I’ve done nothing so far with my life, except waste time? What if? What if? What if?”

It’s a terrifying train of thought.

Seneca often said the life we receive is not short, but that we waste it on thoughts like these.

I am ’96 born, so I breathe my last breath in what, 2096? Just a guess.

But these corporations? They were designed to live forever.

Think of yourself as a corporation, Reader.

Me, I am no longer Akash Malik. I am now Akash Malik, Inc, CEO of Multinational Firm, Inc.

I must increase my bottom line by making transactions.

Not only day to day or quarter to quarter, but in deep, long term ways.

ACTION POINT: Change your life. For the long term.
