You’re so much cooler than you think you are. The niche shit you’re into and your blend of hobbies traits and talents are literally 1 of 1. You free yourself by shining that light for everyone to see. The moment you shrink back or try to copy another mf is when you become lame.
Do fun shit, make a shit tons of money, talk to strangers, lift heavy weights, scare yourself, be uncomfortable, travel everywhere, enjoy every moment, Just live.
Nothing is even remotely serious
Lose money? Laugh about it and make more
Relationships ends? Wish her well be glad you had the experience
Someone hates you? Piss them off more
Car gets stolen? Opportunity to buy a cooler one
Mfs who take everything seriously never win
There is one health advice you will never hear from anyone. You can go to gym and build muscles, you can train to run and become a marathoner , you can get your 4ltr of water everyday, you can get your 7hrs of sleep , you can get all the superfoods and supplements.
But if you don’t learn to deal the chaos in your head and bullshit people around you, you’re still going to be unhealthy.
You can’t change the people around you. But you can change the people around you.
Ignoring some people for your mental health is not a weakness. It is your superpower.
a theory of mine is that social media has completely broken the mind of Gen Z and millennials when it comes to work
their whole lives they have been told to pursue college, work really hard at their 9-5 job, go above and beyond for their boss, then save some income to hopefully purchase a home and family one day
all the people who followed this path are now watching their savings crumble away due to inflation. homeownership feels out of reach like never before
then they turn over and look at the 21 year olds making millions of dollars posting content on YouTube and TikTok. they are able to live with freedom, not beholden to a corporation, while also getting paid enough to afford everything they want
people see this and start questioning themselves. money doesn’t feel real in an economy where there is so much bifurcation between the have and have nots
the point of a job becomes meaningless. you fail to find purpose in your life anymore. and while these millionaires are the outliers, their content is the one that shows up in your feed over and over again
it is truly detrimental to society and i’m not sure anyone has a real solution to fix it
You must ruthlessly be yourself. Fuck what anyone thinks. Life is too short. Live your truth. Express yourself authentically and only give time and energy to people it resonates with. This is what organic living looks like. Rockstar shit. If it doesn’t align it doesn’t exist.
@litteralyme0_ A girl told me something it got stuck in my head:
A girl will invent rules for the guy she's not attracted to, and will break all the rules for the guy she is attracted to.
You were just the guy she was not attracted to.
See you at the gym.
Suddenly, you're 27.
You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.
Then you wake up, and do it all again.
And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.
How did everything pass by so quickly?
You don't even feel 27.
You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.
But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.
But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.
Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.
So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.
The point is no matter what age you are, you’ll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it’s always a good time to stop and smell the roses.
Lately, I've noticed everybody looks OK until you eventually have a deep conversation with them. And then, you'll realize that, this is a sad generation of people struggling to survive through smiling faces and pretty pictures.
If you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you’ll realise that everything always works out. Everything always takes you to a greater destination. You always grow, and the things you think you can't survive, you somehow divinely make it through. That's life. Remember that.
The older I get, the more I realize you can reinvent yourself as many times as you need. New habits. New mindsets. New standards. New people. New career. You’re never stuck. You’re allowed to change. Today, tomorrow, and as many times as it takes to create the life you want.
my favourite quote from atomic habits by James clear;
"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting
something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process, is to guarantee disappointment"
Major cheat code in life: Be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.
