There are going to be naysayers & pessimists who tell you that you “do not know what you are doing.”
But you must understand nor did Einstein;
Nor did Steve Jobs;
Nor do you, I or anyone else.
But those we call “great” are no more human than you or I.
So do it anyway…
Hey YOU!
Yes, I’m talking to YOU!
You’re getting lazy.
You’re letting your fear corrupt your hunger again.
Remember why you started in the first place.
Do not fear the idea of pursuing prosperity.
Rather, fear the idea of remaining stagnant & impoverished.
I know you feel it.
The cold breeze running down your spine.
The self-loathing rage that tells you that you are not where you want to be.
The twitch in your heart that exists SOLELY to remind you that you are meant for GREATNESS.
STOP ignoring it…
There was once a version of you—-
maybe 5, 10 years old—-
that believed ALL things were possible.
That version is still in you.
They’re knocking on the door.
BANGING trying to get out & unleash the inner beast.
Do NOT keep the door locked.
It’ll drive you crazy.
Your perfectionism is NOT a defect.
The best barbers are perfectionists.
The best designers are perfectionists.
The best engineers;
carpenters;
surgeons.
They’re ALL perfectionists.
They HAVE to be in order to be the BEST.
Because they do not accept 2nd place.
He who has faith in that which he CANNOT see often watches it become a reality.
He who LACKS faith in that which he CAN see often watches it become a fairytale.
“If you had the chance to go back, what would you do differently?”
This is the mindset of the foolish.
The mistakes;
The pain;
The trauma;
The indecisiveness & poor decision-making.
All of it was required for you to become the BEST version of yourself.
ALL of it.
We are all on a similar mission.
Striving everyday to reach the greatest potential of ourselves.
In a world full of beasts and monsters, adversity is inevitable.
Therefore, you MUST become a monster.
Then, you must learn to control it.
Warrior in a garden.
The key to life is to stop giving yourself the losing option.
Stop setting an alarm to go to the gym just to hit snooze the following morning.
Stop avoiding self-reflection by blaming others for your faults.
Stop ignoring your gut instinct.
You KNOW what you must do.
In school, all my teachers & peers ever talked about was being “next”.
“The next Steve Jobs.”
“The next Einstein.”
It almost insinuates plagiarism.
It ACCEPTS 2nd place— thereby accepting defeat.
I never wanted to be the “next” anything.
I wanted to be the FIRST “me”.
Contrary to popular belief,
Depression is more a lifestyle than a disease.
It becomes diagnosed as a disease the moment we allow it to rule our identity.
Do not identify as such.
You are not depressed.
You, very simply, have adopted the habits of “a depressed person”.
Get angry.
Get pissed off…
At your current situation.
At your flaws.
At your own lack of respect for yourself.
Your life will improve the day you accept that you can try more;
Do more;
BE MORE.
Embrace the monster that is ROARING inside with raging potential.
I want you to envision the Earth as it is with its 8B population.
Then, I want you to keep that vision but zoom out.
The earth is nothing more than a droplet of water and we are the bacteria.
Do you still believe your problems are as big as you think?
Think about that.
Imagine you did it.
Imagine you did everything you said you would.
Imagine you did everything you knew you needed to do to achieve the life others can only dream of.
Imagine you stopped pretending to be “okay” with your current lifestyle.
…
Now stop imagining.
@FafdaJalebie Trick question… anyone who’s actually wealthy knows that you don’t technically “have” money. The top 1% don’t own anything.. in fact, it’s recommended you get rid of money ASAP. Not to mention if you pay attention to the tax code, it literally TELLS you how to get rich lmao…
@elonmusk@neuralink imagine a world where this newly created technology can actually decrease the number of hours recommended and/or “required” for proper cognitive functioning from 8hrs to 4hrs or less. I think that should be the next targeted innovation for @neuralink 👀
