- Integrity should be the compass guiding our actions, not the allure of quick rewards.
When we prioritize our moral principles, we invest in the long-term well-being of our character and our world.
It takes courage to choose the right path over the easy one, but it is in those moments of unwavering commitment to our values that we truly grow and make a difference.
Let us aim for a life rich in virtue, rather than fleeting gains that leave us spiritually bankrupt.
- Each journey of self-discovery is a thousand deaths reborn into authenticity.
- The universe is in your corner; it will only take time before your burning desires manifest as your physical realities.

- The reason I play poker is not just for the money, but for the invaluable lessons the game has to offer.
It's not just about winning or losing, more about how I approach the game and the lessons I learn along the way.
Last night was a perfect example of this.
I remember sitting at the table, my heart pounding as I clutched my cards.
The flop, the turn, the river - each one presenting a new opportunity, a chance to adapt my strategy.
In one hand, I won big, raking in the chips with a huge grin on my face.
But in another, I watched helplessly as my carefully planned moves fell apart, my chips disappearing as I lost hand after hand.
But here's the thing - those losses taught me just as much as the wins, if not more.
They showed me the importance of resilience, of being able to bounce back from setbacks and keep pushing forward.
They taught me to see challenges not as failures, but as opportunities for growth and learning.
And that's exactly how I try to approach life as well.
When I'm faced with obstacles or setbacks, it's easy to get paralyzed by fear or self-doubt.
But poker has taught me that sometimes, you have to be willing to take risks and go all-in, even when the outcome is uncertain.
Sure, there will be times when things don't go my way - when I make a bad decision or get dealt a tough hand.
But just like in poker, those moments don't define me. What matters is how I choose to respond - whether I let myself get discouraged and give up, or whether I use those experiences as fuel to keep learning and growing.
The game was a powerful reminder of the mindset I want to bring not just to poker, but to life as a whole.
It's about embracing the ups and downs, staying focused on my goals, and always looking for ways to improve and adapt.
And who knows?
With that kind of attitude, maybe I'll be able to take on even bigger challenges in the future - and come out on top,
with a few more chips in my stack and a whole lot of valuable lessons learned.

- Being Permissionless is the Alpha
- I understand the skepticism some have towards web3 events in India.
Of course no event is perfect or guarantees valuable takeaways.
But for those who engage actively, seek to learn, and have something thoughtful to share, the experience and connections made can be worthwhile.
As self-directed individuals, we must discern and create value rather than wait for it to be handed to us.
With an abundant mentality, recognizing everyone has something to contribute, we can make the most of spaces for open idea exchange.
A balance of curiosity, wisdom and generosity is key.

- ¡todo bien, valentina! is my first mostly spanish track. it was so fun to make, it was definitely made on a whim which I think makes it even cooler! the song is about having fun and learning to accept that the little things in life sometimes have to be enough, not every day is going to be a party, we have to learn to value everything that makes life...life!
