Hustler Problems | Day 12


The Cost of Constant Hustle

These days, it feels like everyone is chasing something.

There’s this silent pressure to “make it” — and make it fast.

I get it. Hustle is good. Speed matters.
But what we’re seeing now? It’s beyond ambition — it’s obsession.
Overachievers are burning out before they even start living.

In the race to be “the youngest to ever do it,”
we forget how to just be still.
To feel moments. To absorb life.
Not everything needs to be earned through sweat.
Some things… the universe just wants to give you — if you let it.

But these overachievers — they grind so hard, and when it still doesn’t click,
they ask, “Why isn’t it working? I did everything.”
Because sometimes it’s not about effort — it’s about timing.

A friend once wrote this poem — it stuck with me:

What am I doing in this life?
Not a business at sixteen,
Not a millionaire at seventeen,
Not the youngest champion ever seen.

They say, “Live today, don’t overthink,”
But aren’t we all tied to the brink?
Each move feels tethered to tomorrow,
A future carved from hope and sorrow.

Perhaps I’m lost, or finding my way,
Not every success blooms in a day.
What am I doing? I’m learning to be—
Someday, that might set me free.

Read that again.

That’s the reminder most of us need.
It’s okay to not be ahead of the curve.
It’s okay if your journey isn’t flashy or fast.
You’re not behind — you’re becoming.

We all want to be something someday.
But don’t forget to be someone today.

🎥 What If My Life Was a Reel? | Day 2

🎥 What If My Life Was a Reel? It’s kinda crazy to even try to sum up a whole life in one reel, but shoot... let’s dream for a sec. It would start with me and my family stepping out of my dad’s car — then boom, at the peak beat of some epic background music (probably Destroyer of Worlds ), we transition to us getting out of a supercar , all in black suits and sunglasses , with my dog in a tuxedo, slow-mo walking to close a billion-dollar deal . Cue the crazy rich montage edits — jets, yachts, the works. (Look, if we’re dreaming, we’re dreaming BIG. 😂) But then... I WISH it was that easy. If life was just a 30-second aesthetic reel, it would skip over all the real stuff — the actual experiences, the learning, the messy growth, the weirdly beautiful chaos. You know what my real-life reel would actually look like? 40% me opening the fridge and forgetting why I’m there 30% switching between three apps and accomplishing absolutely nothing 20% thinking about those em...

Success Precedes with Balance | Day 3

  Hustle Culture vs Chill Culture: Why Balance is Everything We’re living in a time where you can spot two major types of people everywhere: The Hustlers and The Chillers . The Hustlers: These are the people who are always grinding — non-stop. In my classes, I see students who live in textbooks 24/7. No physical exercise, no social life, no hobbies — just study, eat, sleep, repeat. Sure, they might build a great career on paper. But somewhere along the way, they lose the spark. They forget how to be still, how to enjoy the moment, how to actually live . They end up becoming isolated, burnt out, and honestly... kind of miserable. The Chillers: On the flip side, you have the ones who seem like they’re permanently on vacation mode. Always bunking class, always out somewhere, doing literally everything except what they're supposed to. They’re fun to be around — kings and queens of socializing — but if you can’t show up for your own future, no amount of "rizz" ...

Teenagers and Spirituality????? | Day 1

  Do Teenagers Even Need Spirituality? Okay, real talk — what even is spirituality? Like… people throw that word around a lot, but to me, it’s just about trying to connect with something bigger than yourself. That “something” could be God, energy, nature, the universe, your higher self — whatever makes you pause and go, “Whoa, maybe I’m not the main character in this whole existence thing.” And honestly? I think teens do need that connection. Look, our generation is low-key fried. We’ve got a million tabs open in our heads, attention spans shorter than a TikTok, and this constant feeling of rushing — but to where , exactly? We get so caught up in school, goals, social media, the grind, the comparison game… that we forget to just be . To sit in silence. To wonder. To trust. Sometimes, I think we forget there’s something (or someone) out there that knows what’s going on — even when we don’t. Like, haven’t you ever had a moment where something happened, and at the time it made...
