@Kylegfall Fear of failure, rejection, change, etc.

[Jeremy @JeremyEnjoys]

Courage is freedom.

Not the freedom handed to you by laws or borders or the mercy of other men but the kind that lives in the chest, quiet and stubborn, waiting to be chosen.

It is the one thing that cannot be taken from you. You can lose your money, your name, your health, the people you love most. You can be stripped down to nothing but breath and bone. And still still courage remains. A door that only opens from the inside.

Everyone feels fear. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise. The soldier trembles. The founder doubts. The father hesitates at the threshold of the hard conversation. Fear is not weakness. Fear is simply the body knowing that something is real, that something matters, that the stakes are high enough to hurt you.

Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is the decision to move anyway. It is the moment between feeling afraid and acting, that razor thin, electric moment, where character is forged.

Without courage, a person is not truly free. They live inside invisible walls built from old wounds and borrowed opinions. They defer to the crowd. They swallow their convictions. They follow the well worn path not because it leads somewhere worth going, but because it requires nothing of them. They are managed. Contained. Predictable. Easily ruled by whoever understands their fears better than they do.

The coward does not choose nothing. They choose chains that feel comfortable, the slow suffocation of a life unlived, of words never spoken, of doors never opened, of the person they might have been, dying quietly on the inside while the outside goes on smiling.

That is the real loss. Not failure. Not rejection. Not embarrassment. But arriving at the end of your life and realizing you spent it watching from the sidelines, waiting for a safety that never came.

Do not die a coward.

Courage is calling, not from some distant battlefield or burning building, but from the small, ordinary moments that ask you to be honest, to risk, to begin, to stay, to speak, to become.

Answer it.

[Jeremy @JeremyEnjoys]

Courage is the one thing we can decide to have when we lose everything else.

Courage is a decision, everyone feels fear, but not everyone is stopped by fear.

Courage is a decision to act in spite of fear.

Without courage, people are not free, they aren’t able to act upon reality. They are limited by fears and barriers in their mind. They are easily controlled by society. They aren’t able to think for themselves. They choose the path of cowardice.

Don’t die a coward. Courage is calling.

Some ways to find stillness right now:

- Go for a solo nature walk
- Write in a journal
- Lock into a creative activity
- Vigorous exercise: run laps, swim
- Help someone else

People think you have to travel for peace, but Marcus Aurelius says we can turn inward at any moment.

4 brutally honest reminders from Seneca:

4. Seek out challenges

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Note to Self: Seek Failure and Rejection

“Hang on to your youthful enthusiasms – you’ll be able to use them better when you’re older.” – Seneca

My greatest struggle in recent years has been my mindset. Specifically, avoiding risk and seeking too much enjoyment. With age and financial success, I’ve become mentally lazy and comfortable. My life has become too safe, pleasurable, and convenient – an Uber Eats soy nightmare…and, it is terrifying!

The trap of modernity is domestication. We can have whatever we want whenever we want it, more money comes with more comfort. We become sedated like zoo animals living in a mental prison. We avoid the struggle, even though the struggle is necessary for growth.

So, here’s my note to self and recipe for growth in 2026:

1. Seek Failure
2. Seek Rejection
3. Be Vulnerable
4. Embrace Emotional Turmoil
5. Have Courage
6. Be Disciplined
7. Do Hard Things

I need a difficult life to grow, it’s the only way I can be happy.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.

Turn Your Stress into Success

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Viktor E. Frankl

Stress is necessary for success, but it all depends on how you respond to that stress.

The night before a championship muay thai fight, big business meeting, or proposal to your future wife, you will likely be stressed because you’re expecting a set outcome and have the duty to do your best – The pressure to perform is on your shoulders, and now, it just depends on how you respond to that pressure.

Plan, prepare, then take action towards your goal, don’t let that stress hold you back, but be grateful for it because it is a signal that you are on your way to success.

Being a Citizen of the Cosmos

“Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for kindness.” – Seneca

The Stoics believed that all human beings belong to a single global community, not just to a city, nation, or religion. That each human being is a Citizen of the Universe, therefore, all humans are fundamentally equal and part of one moral family.

We live in a modern era that promotes division and de-humanization of others – This person looks different, speaks different, believes different, therefore, we are not the same. Division and fear is the mind virus of the the modern era.

People are programmed to be afraid of the other, they are told that compassion, understanding, and empathy are somehow negative virtues to have. That being open-minded and accepting of others is bad, but these people lack moral courage.

It can be scary to accept that humanity is part of one family, it can be scary to understand that your soul is not a skin color, nationality, religion, social status, etc. This acceptance requires moral courage and wisdom, life becomes way better when we are connected to the divine spark within us, when we have the courage to wake up from the matrix, and understand that we are all Citizens of the Universe.

“We are members of one great body, planted by nature… We must consider that we are born for the good of the whole.” – Seneca

The Art of Transmuting Rejection into Attraction

People are naturally attracted to individuals with higher levels of Life Energy.

Most people respond to rejection with negativity and this causes them to fail to get what they want. The secret is to do the opposite, but even better than positivity is to be calm and energetically unfazed.

For example, if someone insults you, the instinctual response is to become guarded and triggered, but this actually lowers your energetic state because you’re being dragged down if you choose to accept the insult by fighting back. The alchemy of transmuting the insult is to not even respond in most cases, this causes the person who insulted you to become insecure and aware that your energetic state is stronger.

Human beings naturally respect strength and higher energetic states because they signal stability, competence, and emotional regulation—qualities the nervous system instinctively associates with safety, leadership, and survival. Another way to put this is that people are attracted to strength and higher energetic states because it helps them survive.

How to Build Natural Confidence

Natural confidence comes from trusting yourself and having courage.

Self-trust is built by being honest with yourself and maintaining self-respect. Don’t live in lies. Keep your promises to yourself. Do hard things.

Consistent, NATURAL exercise is one of the easiest and fastest ways to build self-trust. I emphasize NATURAL because we live in an era where steroids, supplements, and body modifications are promoted as “get-fit-quick” schemes—but they ultimately damage the mind, body, and spirit.

Go for an early-morning run for 90 days. Go to the gym every day for 90 days. Do a five-day water fast. Commit to something difficult with no shortcuts—and follow through. When you do, your self-trust becomes legitimate, and your physique becomes the proof.

Next is courage. This part is simple: decide to live bravely — Vive Audacter.

Choose to do the things you’re afraid of. Step outside your comfort zone. Stop shrinking yourself. There are no shortcuts to building natural confidence—it’s pure cause and effect.

As Yoda put it best: Do or do not. There is no try.

[Ryan Holiday @RyanHoliday]

This kind of inhumanity we are seeing in Minneapolis is the inevitable outcome of a policy that is rooted in inhumanity and has actively embraced cruelty. It was always going to be this way, and it's going to keep going this way, growing more and more awful until each of us speaks up about it.

The Wisdom of Children: Curing the Mental Virus of Dogma

“The man old in days will not hesitate to ask a little child of seven days about the place of life, and he will live. For many who are first will become last, and they will become one and the same.” – Gospel of Thomas (Logion 4)

Children are able to see the world clearly because their vision is pure and they haven’t yet been socially conditioned by dogmatic beliefs.

As most people age, they naturally become more close-minded and fixed in their beliefs. It feels safer to accept the mental programming and never question it.

Imagine all your beliefs were erased from your mind this very second, your beliefs about how this world works, success, status, money, religion, politics, nationality, religion, culture, society, your identity, etc.

How much happier would you be? What would that world look like?

There’s incredible clarity that comes when we look at the world with refreshed eyes, to re-experience the vision and wisdom we had as children.
