The Valley Principle:
Mid-week feels hardest because you're learning most. But struggle signals growth.

The smarter you get, the worse you teach.
You forget what confusion feels like.
This is why experts need to adopt a beginnerโ€™s mind to explain things.

Most growth is subtraction.
Not addition.
Wisdom removes complexity.

Smart people believe more fake news.
Intelligence increases bias confirmation.
Wisdom is knowing you're fooled.

Positive thinking makes you negative.
It creates reality gaps.
Acceptance beats optimization.

Successful people waste more time.
They know productivity is about recovery.
That's why they seem lazy to others.

Smart people make more mistakes.
Their expertise creates blind spots.
That's why beginners often see solutions first.

People often feel the pain of losing something more strongly than the pleasure of gaining something.

So, we make decisions trying really hard to avoid losses, even sometimes when there's a lot to gain.

It's like how we're more upset about losing $20 than we are happy about finding $20.

If you've ever done something just because someone told you not to, or felt the urge to do the opposite of what you were advised, that's Reactance โ€“ a rebellious response to feeling controlled.
