Exploring my curiosity and sharing what I learn along the way.

I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives. The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing. Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

Wow. This is really interesting. I think learning how to love yourself is often the most difficult for people, and ultimately the most important.

Perhaps relevant here: In the West, self-reported life satisfaction is lowest when child-rearing and work dominate people's lives–perhaps due to societal expectations and financial pressures. When asking retired people what they regret the most, the answer often includes the amount of time spent at and on work, or more generally, wasting time on activities and relationships that do not matter in the long run. On the bright side, life satisfaction tends to increase past 55. Yeah! So, focusing on the quality of your core relationships is good advice and in line with the results of Waldinger's longitudinal study at Harvard. But I would add: Avoid the hedonistic treadmill, i.e. chasing external goods, motivation, and validation. Being driven by fame, money, status, or success will likely make you underperform as well as be less happy and healthy. Disconnect from social expectations and pressures as much as you can–as early as you can. But also: Consider that a good life isn't just about you. While it's good not to bow to societal pressures, your contributions to society do matter—whatever shape or form they may take.

I think high-growth individuals naturally become more efficient in their relationships with friends and family. Most high-growth people don't start out with friends and a family who are truly like-minded. You start out serving the needs of everyone else until you realize no one is taking care of you. Then you go deeper (less frequently) with family, and find new friends. Your new friends understand you and appreciate the relationship. They know you won't steal their growth and they're not going to stunt yours either.

The work graph is fascinating. And terribly important. The energy you have/get at work has a direct impact on the energy you bring to every other part of your life. If one wakes up dreading the day to come at work, how can one maintain focus on love at home before and after work. That energy can infiltrate the other key relationships. Work/life isn’t a balance, it’s a continuum.

Bs. Time is limitless. Our most precious asset is ENERGY not time. Without energy, the value of "time" plummets.
