The ugly truth about why .5% of men make it and most live sh!t lives...

Is that you can't work or motivate yourself to success.

You have to create a metaphoric gun to your head with a very real mental bullet. An outcome that is up there with death.

Let me explain:

You won't see growth in your life... personal or in income... from motivation. You can't willpower it either.

You will see it when you've endured enough pain that you have truly had enough and refuse to stay as you are.

Most men only stop drinking when it makes their life unbearable.

Most men only choose to take big risks and become successful when they reach a breaking point from the work they are stuck in.

I for example NEVER wanted to be an entrepreneur growing up. It wasn't till I was 22, broke and stuck and hating my job, that I literally couldn't live any longer in my current situation. I didn't want to build a business. I had to. My life was unbearable due to where coasting had gotten me.

Only when "at any cost, I can't live like this anymore" becomes your motivation will you see huge growth.

The way to achieve this is by removing what numbs you. The things that stop you from looking in the mirror and going "what the fucking fuck."

The cheap dopamine, cheap thrills, booze/pot/junk that leave you foggy and unclear. The things that let you feel okay, despite your life being very much "not okay" if you actually look it in the eye.

Most men never do this. They never look at the things they CHOOSE accept about themselves. Poor health. Poor habits. Awful results in everything.

They just open a beer, load up a video game, scroll social media and bury it. This is because looking at how ugly you are is hard. The best way to ensure you stay metaphorically fat and disgusting is simply to not look in the mirror.

You have to look at who you truly are and feel such disgust that you will no longer tolerate staying where you are.

Without this you will only get temporary bursts. You will only make do on willpower, which is finite.

Something close to a gun to your head must be created in your mind. You must vehemently reject who and what you are to the point that it keeps you up at night.

Then you'll simply make whatever you want happen.

This is why most men never unlock their potential till they hit rock bottom. Most, despite WANTING success, are always in a numb state of "mostly" comfortable. The years then pass, they get old, nothing changes.

Whatever it takes to trigger this. Do it.

The answer isn't a self help book. It isn't researching and admiring other role models. It isn't envisioning a better life and mapping out daily steps to get there.

It's unbridled-unholy-rage as a result of where your life choices have gotten you.

This won't sustain you forever....But shit damn...It will guaranteed get you over the initial hurtle and to the point where "love of the game" will carry you.

Like I said before, it usually comes down to removing everything that is distracting and numbing you so that you are forced to look at yourself for who you truly are.

I remember asking assistant coach Mo Cheeks, what’s harder to do? Workout after practice or before?? I only asked cuz by time I would get to the gym, Russ was already done in the morning and I usually got mine in after practice. Mo like, “coming in before practice is probably harder”…since then, it’s been my routine….a lot of people looked at the emotions on the court and thought Russ was loud, nah to me, he was quiet and methodical. He lead by example and once the lights were bright, he let everything out and experienced pure freedom. It was inspiring as his teammate and everywhere I went, I seen it inspire people from all walks of life, crazy thing is, he didn’t say much, he just showed up. For 18 years. This basketball life is sacred to us as professionals, what we put into that court means everything. Some of us wish we could go back and do things with a little more intent and some can just wipe their hands and be satisfied with the time spent. Who u gonna be? We know what zero was on…keep inspiring in the next phase of life champ. I don’t care what happens, can’t erase what it was…The first YNs, finals run in our early 20s, all star games, seeing each other get injured and bounce back, the bus rides, plane rides, card games, jokes and arguments, the whole thing, memorable!! …to the whole Westbrook family, Nina, the kids, mama Westbrook, big Russ, Ray, Donnell, everybody from luezinger high and ucla and many more that I’m forgettin, much love and Congratulations on a iconic career.

most people practice being unconfident without realizing it. avoiding eye contact. speaking quietly in meetings. rehearsing what to say 10 times but never saying it. sitting in the back row. always choosing the safe option

confidence isn't something you're born with. it's a set of behaviors you repeat until they feel automatic

whatever happens, happens. once you accept that you can't control the outcome, you can finally focus on how you show up

right now you might just be really good at practicing the wrong ones

DT offers advice to young men:

Quit your job immediately, even if it means selling your ass to make ends meet

"Anything is better than working a God damn job"

Never treat trading like a job, where you feel the need to trade all the time. It isn’t equivalent to a 9-5. Unlike mundane jobs, the output (market’s reward) is not correlated to your efforts.

The market is indifferent to your efforts.

I.e. most of the time, no trade is the best trade.

If anything, the job isn’t to open and close trades, but to stay in-tune every single day.

Men in their 20s:

1. You're going to waste 3 years on the wrong person because the sex is good and you're scared of being alone. Good

You'll learn more from that disaster than any book

2. Your parents advice is obsolete, they bought a house on one salary. You can't afford rent on two

Different game, different rules

3. You'll watch people younger than you get rich

From luck, timing, being early
Don't let it mess with your head

Your timeline isn't their timeline

4. You'll have friends who celebrate your failures and resent your wins. Cut them off

Loneliness is better than poison

5. Take the risk that terrifies you, not the one thats "smart"

Smart keeps you comfortable
Terrified makes you rich or broke

Either way you learn

6. Most of your 20s will be wrong cities, wrong jobs, wrong people. That's not failure

That's the price of finding what's right

7. Nobody's coming to save you

Not your parents, not your degree, not "the right opportunity"

You either save yourself or you don't

Some of you are okay with safe
The stable job, the predictable life
That's fine

But if you want more
And you're not going after it

That's the part that will get to you

@tontheneko Actually they did before launching on Believe. And the token died.

One thing I have realised in my small 22 years of life is that - you need a heck ton of money, not to flaunt, but to buy freedom from worrying about things that don’t matter. Any experiment you wanna do, any book you want to read, any where you wanna go you should be able to do it without thinking too much about “MONEY” because if you do, then your focus shifts away from what’s important: the work, the growth, the stuff that actually moves the needle in your life. Those distractions slow you down, and I hate that.

Time is the only currency i value more than money. For me, money comes second. Time lost is lost forever. So how do you save more time? Get more money to get more time. If you are doing a job then you're already a financial trader. You might not think of it in just this way, but you're trading your time for money which is the worst thing you can do. so focus on increasing your self worth really really faster becomes important because - you can always get more money, but you can't get more time. It’s more like a spiral - youre not stuck, you are aiming upward (more time, less grind) by leveraging money as a tool.

The saddest part is my brain has this acute sense of understanding the flow of time, i can understand it more vividly, and that is why i donot like to - waste time, go to parties, socialize a lot, talk for hours with you about bollywood. I like to keep myself engaged, i try to have more “me-time”, i read, i watch standup comedy, i watch movies, i plan, i donot come late to meetings late.

I have this sense of urgency that if i donot do this faster, or quicker i might not live another year to solve the problem. Life’s not guaranteed, and that thought pushes me to to keep moving. When im thinking: im alive.

I think. I think a lot and work keeps me from not getting sad.

Just a small suggestion @infinex_app

I've noticed that Swidge tends to have higher slippage on Ethereum compared to how smooth it runs on L2s. Maybe sth worth looking into.

Appreciate all the hard work from you guys. @kain @0xdune2000 @Khaleesi_98 @jackyinfinex
