It’s my birthday tomorrow

tHIS thime last year I was turning 18 and was having a mid life crisis. Tonight I really don’t feel the saMe. A lot of lessons learnt over the last 12 months, a lot of progress made, but yet so much to achieve. I know where I’m going I just need to get there now and no one will stop me.

It’s funny how much you can change in such a short period of time, how beliefs you hold we’re rock solid now have shit all importance in your life. I do miss tumblr, I loved the community feel, and had the pleasure of meeting some amazing people. Just for shits ill post every now and again

3 Life Changing Habits

1) Every morning and evening take 5 minutes and write down in a journal the type of person you want to be, what goals you want to achieve, what you want to change about yourself. This constantly reminds you where you are going in life and keeps you focused. If you don’t regularly define yourself, the world will, and they will call you a piece of shit. 

2) Keep a list of compliments anyone has given to you, keep adding to it. Read it through the first thing you get up and the moment you decide to go to bed. It ends/starts your day off with confidence and momentum, which is what you need to reach your goals. 

3) Remember: EMOTION IS CAUSED BY MOTION. Engrave that into your skull. What I learned from Tony Robbins. If you’re feeling down or off, you need to change your state. Personally I plug in some showtek or other EDM music and start moving my fists up and down dramatically, jumping up and down just going crazy like you were in a mosh. Just completely lose it for about 20 seconds. You’ll feel pumped up and emotionally different. That’s how to get into a good state: motion causes emotion. 

Few pointers: i)DO THIS EVERYDAY if you do this everyday for a week you’re going to feel better about yourself, for a month you’re going to feel happy most of the time, if you do this everyday for 90 you’re going to be fucking unstoppable, so just do this everyday for the rest of your life,. Small gains everyday equal huge results over the long term.

ii) Always have goals or a vision to be working on. If you don’t think you can improve yourself in any area of life you are lying to yourself. Don’t be satisfied with where you are now, always be striving for improvement. 

iii) If you’re interested in this stuff - check out Tony Robbins on youtube watch his videos. He will change your life.

Is Free Trade a Necessity for World Peace?

Quite recently the World Bank released that by the end of this year, 2015, extreme poverty would fall below 10% for the first time in history. This has obviously been incredible progress from over 50% of the world living extreme poverty in 1985. The World Bank has stated that strong economic growth from emerging economies has been the main determinate of driving poverty rates down. Why does this happen? Ultimately it comes down to Adam Smith’s ‘invisible hand’. Directly when an entrepreneur starts a business, they create jobs and income. People can afford housing, food and water etc. Then the indirect effects occur, when people spend it creates income for others (one mans spending is another mans income) through the power of the multiplier effect higher aggregate levels of income will be achieved. When businesses make profit and workers are provided incomes,  they pay tax, this enables the government to invest more into health, education and social safety nets such as welfare. All these effects from economic activity decrease poverty and increase living standards. It’s foolish to suggest that free trade and economic growth doesn't lead to lower poverty, but what about world peace? Free trade (or capitalism whatever you want to call it) leads to lower poverty, but can it solve world peace too?  Well when free trade occurs, countries are more independent on each other. They are reliant on each other for trade, investment, labour and capital. Now if a country relies on another country for their growth, jobs and income, it would make no sense to invade or to be aggressive towards that country, it is much more efficient and beneficial to trade. Just as Milton Friedman said, the power of the market makes people who hate each other cooperate and work together. There is evidence to back this, since WW2 the world’s top 40 biggest economies haven’t had a war with each other. So what does this mean? It means the more we become interconnected and integrated as a globe through trade and commerce, the more peaceful and understanding we will become of each other as global citizens.

Strive in the stress, bask in that shit, its when stakes become high and things become interesting. If you're holding a pair of aces, go all in. If you have a pair of shitty cards, don’t fold. Bluff and go all in.
