  • Why Grounding Is Essential in Life.

    The greatest barrier to long-term growth is making short-term decisions that do not build leverage but instead entangle the clarity of long-term purpose.

    We make decisions that shape our future commitments. Therefore, making decisions rooted in the long term is essential for sustainable growth.

    One of the reasons we tend to make short-term decisions is our desperation for quick gains, which often arises from emotional dysregulation.

    Therefore, maintaining a regulated and grounded state is essential to grow in the long term.

    Grounding allows a person to derive their sense of worth and meaning from the essence of their work rather than from validation from the crowd.

    If a person is well regulated, they can sustain efforts that build long-term leverage.

    A regulated person becomes a better leader, a better thinker, a better worker, a better lover, and ultimately, a better human being.

    This allows us to build for the long term. As Charlie Munger wisely said:

    “The first rule of compounding is to never interrupt it unnecessarily.”

  • Why Writing Is a Fundamental Life Skill.

    Life is too complex to be handled by the mind alone. It is unpredictable and deeply interconnected—when we focus excessively on one area of life, other areas quietly deteriorate. Life is not linear; it is an ecosystem.

    To navigate such complexity, we need a tool that allows us to engage with uncertainty without losing sight of the whole. Writing is that tool.

    Writing is not reserved for writers. It is a fundamental life skill—one that helps us manage complexity rather than be overwhelmed by it. Without writing, the mind becomes a closed system, looping endlessly within itself.

    Writing externalizes thinking. It moves thoughts out of the mind and into a visible space where they can be examined, organized, and refined. This act alone reduces chaos.

    By writing, we create structure—not rigid plans, but flexible frameworks that allow growth without overwhelm. Writing makes complexity workable.

    This is especially true for people whose lives are volatile and non-linear—entrepreneurs, writers, artists, investors—where decisions compound and uncertainty is constant. But this is not limited to any profession. Everyone lives inside complexity, whether they acknowledge it or not.

    What I Mean by Writing.

    When I speak of writing, I do not mean the mechanical writing taught in schools—writing for grades, answers, or correctness.

    I mean writing as a way of thinking.

    True writing is a tool for understanding. It sharpens perception, reveals blind spots, and helps us build internal frameworks for better decision-making.

    The quality of our lives improves as the quality of our thinking improves—and writing is how thinking becomes visible.

    Writing does not require sophistication. A pen and paper are enough. Over time, writing reveals patterns in our thoughts that the mind alone cannot detect.

    How Writing Changed My Life.

    Like most people, my early experience with writing was mechanical and uninspiring. It trained me to produce answers, not understanding.

    Everything changed when I discovered writing as a way to express and understand myself. Journaling was my entry point.

    Through it, I gained clarity about my perceptions, emotions, and assumptions. Writing showed me parts of myself I had never noticed before.

    That is when writing stopped being a task and became a practice.

    A practice that made thinking clearer. A practice that reduced inner noise. A practice that allowed me to navigate life with more awareness.
