Do you struggle to stay motivated?

I can help.

The 3 pillars of motivation and how to hack them:

1. Prize
2. Purpose
3. Accountability

Thread 🧵

 Motivation is a complex and unreliable force.

Too often we find ourselves waiting for it.
When instead, we should be taking active steps to create it.
There are 3 main drivers of motivation:

1. Prize
The temporary reward that awaits you upon completion of a task.

2. Purpose
The deeper internal reward we often associate with "meaning" in our lives.

3. Accountability
"Oh shit, if I don't get this done I'll be in trouble."
1. Prize

Rewards can be a powerful motivator.

But they can also be dangerous.

We need to be careful not to let external rewards be our sole motivator for doing things.
Rather than rewarding yourself with something material, go for something that rewards your soul.

Example:
The reward for completing a difficult task could be some time to hang out with friends, or doing a hobby that you love.
2. Purpose

“What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for a worthwhile goal, a freely chosen task.”

- Viktor Frankl

Our purpose can be hard to nail down.

It's like a living, breathing thing that can evolve and change over time.
If you feel completely lost about your purpose, try this:

- Remove all distractions
- Sit with a pen and paper
- Write your eulogy (weird, I know)

What would you want people to say about your life?

This should give you some insights about the direction you should be heading.
Ok, now we've got our purpose dialed in.

How can we utilize it to stay motivated on a daily basis?

The key is to keep the bigger picture in mind, while also breaking down our macro goal into micro steps.

This way, we can start to build a positive feedback loop of motivation.
3. Accountability

The most powerful/scariest of the three motivators.

We've all been there.

Pumping ourselves full of caffeine to stay up late and complete a project we should have finished weeks ago.

That's accountability in action.

But there are healthier ways to use it...
Healthy ways to add accountability:

- Join a community of people pursuing a similar goal
- Seek out an accountability partner to check in with
- Make your goals public on social media
- Hire a coach or mentor to work with
That's a wrap!

Do these 5 things after 7PM.

And your life will never be the same:

1. Reflect

Ask these 3 simple questions:

1. What happened today that I'm grateful for?
2. Which actions moved me towards my goals?
3. Are there any changes I can make?

I love these questions because they strike a balance between gratitude and self-improvement.

2. Disconnect

Imagine trying to park a car that's going 70MPH.

That's essentially what you're doing when you hammer your brain with work/TikTok videos right before bed.

Toss your phone.
Get off the computer.
Slow down the car.

3. Set a plan

A productive day starts the night before.

The simple act of writing down your 3 biggest to-do list items can create a ton of momentum for the day ahead.

(h/t: @quotedvisually)


4. Stretch/Breathe

Cheating a bit with a 2 for 1 here.

So far we've focused on the mind—but what about the body?

Light stretching/deep breathing is an amazing way to release the tension of a busy work day.

Trust me.
10 years from now your body will thank you.

7 habits that are damn hard to do, but pay off forever:

1. Delaying gratification

Your ability to delay gratification will largely determine where you end up in life.

It sounds extreme, but it's true.

You wouldn't plant a seed, and dig it up every 2 days to check on it.

True growth requires patience and discipline.


2. Fixing your sleep

I used to think it was normal that I felt fatigued by 4PM every day.

It wasn't until after I fixed my sleep, I realized I had been deprived of it for years.

Low quality/quantity sleep will kick your ass.

Here's what I did:


3. Seeking feedback

Humans are sensitive creatures.

Few are good at accepting criticism.
Even fewer are good at applying it.

Master the art of seeking feedback and implementing it.

Your growth will skyrocket.


4. Breaking the procrastination cycle

Procrastination plagues us all.

Overthinking.
Overplanning.
Overanalyzing.

Whenever you're able to shorten the time between idea and execution — you level up.

Here are steps to become an action taker:

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has sold more than 40 million copies.

Don't have time to read it?
—No worries.

Here are the 7 key lessons you should apply:


Habit #1 — BE PROACTIVE

It all starts with action.

Rather than being "reactive" (externally influenced).
Focus on being "proactive" (initiative-taking).

This puts you in firm control of your life.


Habit #2 — BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

"No wind is favorable if one does not know to which port one is sailing."

I use this goal-setting system to stay on track myself:

Who do I want to be --> Monthly goal to achieve it? --> Daily action to reach that goal?

I update weekly.


Habit #3 — FIRST THINGS FIRST

Knowing the work that moves the needle is half the battle.

The Eisenhower Matrix can come in handy here:

Urgent + Important - Do it
Important + Not urgent - Schedule it
Urgent + Not important - Delegate it
Not urgent + Not important - Delete it


Habit #4 — THINK WIN-WIN

Always strive to find a mutually beneficial solution.

How to:
- Be as objective as possible
- Try to see from their perspective
- Determine what a "win" truly means for both parties
- Work to find the best solution for both parties

Here is the detailed information of about strategy,

Entry time : 9.30 - 10
Exit : Upto you

Strategy :
Sell weekly ATM CE & PE at almost equal price
For ex : Sell Nifty 17250 CE at 50 and Nifty 17250 PE at 48 so it will become short straddle

Buy monthly ATM or near ATM CE & PE at matching price (5-10 points diff should be fine) as hedge
For ex : Buy Nifty 17250 CE at 150 and Nifty 17300 PE at 155 so it will become long straddle.

Weekly Short straddle + Monthly Long straddle

Adjustment:

• If you feel slightly bullish/bearish then no adjustment needed
• If Nifty moves 50 up or down and sustain then just simply roll up or down half of qnty and keep rest of the quantity. If market goes up or down further then roll up or down rest.

• If Nifty moves one side or about to breach BEP then add equal amount of lot. This can balance tested side. For ex: If I bought 17300 CE 4 lot as hedge then add 4 lot so you will have only one side risk . Note: Remember to keep SL at cost price (only for additional lot bought)

Capital requirement:
2.2 L for 4 lot
Adjustment requires additional capital upto 1L

Note : High risk high reward strategy, please don’t execute until you fully understand. Kindly do paper trading or backtest.
RR : 1:1
POP : 45-55%

WEAPONS OF MAHADEV

Sarvaripati Shiva is one of the most fearsome manifestations of Mahadev. Assigned with destroying all of the universes at the end of time, Shiva is one of the most fearsome warriors. He is the Mrityunjaya.
Here are some weapons associated with him:


TRISHULA: the 3 pointed blades denote creation, maintenance, and destruction or the 3 Kalas – Past, Present and Future. They also represent 3 Gunas – Sattva, Rajas and Tamas).
Shiva’s trishul can only be stopped by Shiva himself.
@onlyonenetra @DetheEsha


Trishul is also said to represent Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. These are the three basic nadis – the left, the right and the central – in the pranamaya kosha, or the energy body of the human system.
@iamkamyabuch @unever_followme


PARASHU: axe with 4 cutting edges which Shiva gave to Parashurama. In his anger, Parashurama used the parashu to get rid of the all the Earth’s tyrannical kshatriya caste twenty-one times over.
@harshasherni


CHANDRAHASA SWORD: The divine sword Chandrahasa literally means ‘the laughter of the moon’. Ravana gave this sword to Indrajit on different occasions especially to fight against Devas.
GIRISH: A special sword of Shiva with unique characteristics.

Mahabharat - the great war - 18 days of heroism, deceit, blood and intrigue - now as a mega Twitter thread.

I'll add the events from a few days of the war each day.

Caveats: lots of editorialization, creative liberties and interpretations.

There will also be a lot of asides - especially around war strategy and tactics, the characters and their motivations and non-canon storylines.

Over the years, I've read multiple versions, phenomenal translations and modern retellings. So be prepared for a potpourri.

There are different ways of looking at this war. Was it a family feud? Sure - but whose family? Shantanu's or Satyavati's? Was Vyas essentially telling us his family history? And then Kunti added a twist to this tale. Here's a helpful chart:


Satyavati's two sons from Shantanu both died without children. Vyas - her first son - fathered Dhritarashtra and Pandu (and Vidur).

Pandu never fathered any children. Kunti and Madari gave birth to six demi-gods (Karna and the five Pandavs).

So Satyavati Vs Kunti and Madari.

Or was this a fight between two massive neighbouring kingdoms - the Kurus and the Panchals? While many smaller kingdoms joined the battle, most of the Pandav army (more than half of their 7 divisions) came from the Panchals. King Drupad and his son Shikhandi led two divisions.

Sri Devi Karumariamman mandir, Chennai, Tamilnadu

Sri Devi Karumariamman mandir is in Thiruverkadu, a suburb of Chennai. It is said that God Muruga came here and obtained the 'Vel' (spear) from His mother, Goddess Karumari (an avatar of Parvathi) 1/n


to fight the demon Suran and hence this place was called as 'Vel kadu' and became as Verkadu. As per legend Devi Karumariamman once disguised as a soothsayer visited Bhagwan Surya, the Sun God, to predict His future. 2/n


Not realising that the soothsayer is none other than Sakthi Matha, Surya ignored Her. Angered by his indifference, Devi Karumariamman immediately retreated. Bhagwan Surya lost His glory and the earth plunged into darkness. 3/n


Bhagwan Surya then realised His folly and pleaded forgiveness from Devi Karumariamman. In order to pacify mother Karumariamman, Suryadev said that His rays would fall on Her directly twice in a year and touch her feet. (in the month of Panguni (March- April) & during (Sep - Oct)


Mother Karumari Amman is worshipped here in two forms.A swayambu (self manifested) with only head visible above the ground and another one in a graceful sitting posture with all Parasakthi features,with four arms holding skull, sword, trishul, udukkai (damru). 5/n

Choosing the Right JavaScript Framework

Thanks for joining me @pluralsight to talk about javascript frameworks. We had 150+ awesome questions, so I'll try to answer the ones I couldn't get to online right here in a tweet stream

Watch the video -->
https://t.co/G7zeiKhXme


Q. Do arrow functions really make dealing with JavaScript's "this" keywords easier?

A. Yes! When using arrow functions, the scope of "this" is effectively passed in from the outer scope. See here in this REPL

1/n


Q. Where does Polymer fit in? Is it considered a framework like the others?

A. @Polymer is an excellent way to create web components, which are ideal for creating sets of interactivity that can be shared in web apps.

2/n

Q. Have we gone framework crazy?

A. At one time, quite possibly. A few years back we literally had framework overload. I feel it really has solidified into a few very strong choices.

3/n

Q. [Is] there no more need for @polymer?

A. See my previous question on this ... but in general, I think there is a lot of room for Web Components with frameworks.

AHOBILAM NARASIMHA SWAMY KSHETRAM: KURNOOL (AP)
#andhratemples

Ahobilam is the place where Prabhu appears in his fierce form, called Ugra Narasimha, who is Svayambhu (self-manifest).
Ahobilam is one of the 108 Divya Desams. It has 9 shrines for different forms of Narsimha.


Ahobilam was the exact place where Sri Narasimha appeared and tore apart Hiranyakashipu to save Prahlad. At that moment, all the Devas appeared and praised him as Ahobala (Aho is mighty and bala is strength). So the place came to be called Ahobilam.


Out of the 9 shrines, most famous is the Ahobila Narasimha Swamy where Prabhu is seen as Ugra Narasimha.
In another shrine, Prabhu appears as Malola Narasimha Swamy. Malola means beloved of Lakshmi. Here Prabhu is in peaceful mudra with his consort Ma ChenchuLakshmi.


Jwala Narasimha Swamy shrine is the actual spot where the fierce anger of Prabhu reached its culmination when he tore Hiranyakasipu.

Ugra Stambham is the pillar from which Narasimha appeared with such force that the entire hill split into two.
