You Don’t Need More Advice—You Need a Better Filter

You’ll always find people telling you how to live better.

• How to eat.
• How to train.
• How to dress.
• How to parent, hustle, sleep, succeed.

The advice isn’t wrong—but without a strong filter, it’s useless.
And your filter only works if you know what actually matters to you.

For me, I want to be a great dad.
That’s not a side goal—it’s core. I actively pour time, energy, and intention into it.
That’s one of the things I’ll measure myself against when I look back.

On the flip side: I don’t care about how I dress.
Could I look sharper? Sure.
But it doesn’t matter to me.
It’s not worth the decision fatigue, time, or money—and I walk through the world totally fine with that.

That’s the filter:

• Does this align with what I value?
• Does this help me be more of the person I’ve chosen to be?
• Or is it noise—someone else’s version of “success” that I don’t actually want?

This didn’t come from journaling or reading quotes.
It came from years of testing, noticing what drained me vs what fueled me, and having the courage to stop chasing what doesn’t matter—even if it looks impressive.

Bottom line:
You don’t need more advice. You need to know who you are and what matters to you.
From there, your filter gets sharper.
You stop chasing everything—and start building the life you actually want, not the one people think you should.
