Western culture is a scam for men.
You get up early to pay for a house, you hardly live in, you don't own the land it sits on, to pay a mortgage to a bank that lent you pretend money made out of thin air you pay interest on they didn't even have on deposit in a vault...
To drive a car, that is primarily used to get to and from work, usually on congested and broken roads, your tax money never seem to fix...
To pay 30-50% income tax to the government for a JOB, designed to keep you 'just over broke' while the government spends your money on programs you generally don't agree with...
To buy stuff with a sales tax with money we have already paid income taxes on, to impress people we don't even like, with things we generally don't even care about.
And if you do well with your investments, with income you've already been taxed on, you pay more tax on tax, in the form of capital gains tax to the government on money you took the risk on investing.
All this usually to impress a woman enough to commit to you, that has already shared her body with dozens of other men, that brings baggage to the table, that if you live with or marry, can take half your shit, and your kids, if she changes her mind about you.
What did I miss?
It’s life or death with every exercise.
Raw.
Emotion.
Power.
I take my mind to a very dark place when I train.
Places I’m scared to go.
LOCK THE FUCK IN.
2.) The Alchemist // Paulo Coelho
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
This book is very special to me.
It’s one of those gems I always come back to.
It allowed me to trust in the journey, have faith in myself, and embrace the support that surrounds me.
This book is a true embodiment of hope and the belief that the universe supports us in our pursuit of dreams.
To me, it serves as a consistent reminder that when we have a genuine desire and take the necessary steps towards our goals, the universe aligns in our favor.
ALWAYS presenting opportunities and synchronicities along the way.
This Ja situation really makes you appreciate the Kobe's and Lebron's. 15+ years in the league with no scandals whatsoever. They just balled. Nothing but great loyal, black men. 🙏🏾
Awesome: After a recent NFL rookie event, #Colts 20-year old QB Anthony Richardson, decided to stay behind after everyone else exited and clean up a big mess left by the players so the staff wouldn't have to.
Richardson explained that it was unfair to expect the staff to clean up the mess left by the draftees. He insisted on staying to help until the room was completely tidy, even though he was given the option to leave after NFL Executive Troy Vincent told him: "You don’t need to do this."
Richardson told Vincent: ‘We left this room in an unacceptable condition, and it’s not right for us to expect the staff to clean it all up.”
The Colts drafted a young man with high character and integrity 👏❤
