And so the celebration of my birthday has come to an end. Thanks again, everyone!

🇲🇨 We marked this historic moment in Monte Carlo, because 32 years — that only happens once in a lifetime… Monaco, in my opinion, is a great spot for a summer getaway on the French Riviera, highly recommend.

I also want to express my gratitude to everyone who supported our summer public initiatives being put forward in parliament. We raised over $800,000 in targeted humanitarian aid during Q3 2026. This truly means a lot to us, because together we'll be able to help even more kids through charity.

According to science, one of the most effective ways to get what you want is to build alignment at the level of identity.

Identity is an actual neural network called the default mode network. It acts as the brain's operating system and constantly maintains an internal narrative about who a person is and what they deserve.

The mechanism of self-verification theory confirms that the psyche places consistency above benefit and always seeks confirmation of the familiar self-image. If external achievements sharply deviate from the internal setting, the thermostat effect kicks in, returning the system to its habitual state through self-sabotage and cognitive dissonance.

Results match the personality due to the mechanisms of selective attention and predictive coding.

The brain physically filters the flow of information to fit the model of self, which is why opportunities that don't match the current role remain literally unnoticed.

Through predictive coding, the brain predicts reality based on the personality image and adjusts attention to fit that forecast. This creates a self-fulfilling prophecy, where automatic behavior triggers the expected reaction from the world and ultimately locks in the current identity. Changing the model of self happens through a combination of truthful actions and detailed work with imagination.

Since a detailed internal simulation is often indistinguishable from reality for the brain, this allows the model of self to be rewritten while bypassing the critical filter. The brain is finally convinced of the changes when self-perception theory kicks in.

The system observes real micro-steps taken from the new role and draws a conclusion about who the person has become. Gradually, such repeating signals reinforce neural circuits and make the new result a natural consequence of the personality.

Your entire nervous system relaxes when your finances are in order. Whatever your relationship with money is, money isn't about luxury or greed.

First and foremost, money is safety, and the feeling of safety is a basic need of the nervous system. When it's met, the brain gets the chance to think crystal clear — to create, build, expand, and come up with something new.

When your nervous system is in constant stress, your brain simply can't function properly. Cortisol blocks clarity of thought, creativity, and the ability to see opportunities. Money doesn't make you happy, but the lack of it makes everything else absolutely unbearable.

Stay focused on what really matters. There will be times when you resolve to serve. Humanity will be tested. Be prepared. People will try to convince you that you should keep your empathy out of your career. Don’t accept this false premise.

Take the risk. Travel to places you’ve never been. Try things that scare you. Apply for the thing that you might not get. Choose the friends who challenge you over the ones who agree with you. And when you fail, when, not if, you get back up, you take what you’ve learned and you go again. Because here’s the thing about not knowing where to start: it means you’re still in the process. You’re still becoming.
