We should all aspire to be good people. But we shouldn’t waste our time trying to prove it to others. As Paulo Coelho says, “Be a good person, but don’t waste your time trying to prove it.”
Life is too short to spend our time trying to convince others of our goodness. We should simply focus on being the best we can be. That’s it.

Most people don’t achieve their dreams because they focus on the outcome. Like Neo trying to bend the spoon in The Matrix, the more we try to force the result, the more it slips away. When we focus on the end goal we create mental barriers that make it feel impossible.
Since mid 2019, I’ve been using the “time block” approach in my life. I can’t express how helpful it is in keeping me on track towards my goal, removing bluriness, and keeping me productive and focused.
Trying to control every aspect of life creates unnecessary friction. The more you push the more the universe pushes back. This isn’t about passive acceptance but strategic alignment and relaxed action.
