To Choose Yourself
Something my teacher @alexmagicstep told me many times:
“Tactically and strategically - choose yourself”
It is so obvious and still not clear in it’s obviousness.
Only now do I feel I truly understand what that means.
✅ Choosing Yourself Strategically
This means making long-term choices that align with your well-being:
● Exercising regularly
● Seeing doctors and doing regular health checkups
● Working on your own projects in the early mornings, late evenings, or weekends
These decisions build a foundation. They are investments in my future.
😬 But Tactically, It Can Be Hard
These choices don’t always feel good in the moment:
● Exercise pushes your limits and challenges your laziness
● Doctor visits take time and cost money
● Your passion projects steal hours from sleep, family, and vacations
But you’re still choosing yourself.
❌ Not Choosing Yourself
These are the moments we abandon ourselves, even if the strategy seems right:
● Drinking alcohol just to feel socially accepted
● Overworking to prove your worth or build a career
● Spending time with people who don’t align with your values or interests
These are small betrayals that become big with time.
They cost more than they seem.
