Firmly rooted in the Word of Jesus, reading the Gospel every day, never stop dreaming of a land where there is peace and fraternity, nor stop looking at the world with wonder, nor stop facing the future with the light of hope. Do not let anything or anyone steal your hope.
the best ingredient for a great life is enthusiasm, and enthusiasm is mostly an unshakeable belief that something good is possible. people who carry that find beauty in ordinary days without having to look very hard. they treat being alive like the strange gift it is, and they move through the week like something good is about to happen at any moment.
Fear is the oldest narcotic known to man, older than opium, older than whatever rancid fermented sludge the first neolithic drunk poured down his throat. fear preceded them all and it outperforms them all, because fear doesn't even need ingestion. it manufactures itself inside you like some parasitic brewery operating out of your own nervous system, free of charge, endless supply. and the withdrawal is the strangest one. you quit fear and suddenly your life starts working, and you're standing there like some bewildered idiot watching everything arrange itself, wondering what the fuck was i holding onto this entire time
If you don't have a goal so meaningful it makes other people's opinions irrelevant, you will lose control of your life. You will adopt the goals assigned to you by your parents, peers, or society.
If you want a life that feels like yours, you have to get in touch with your inner madness. Become a rebel. Unapologetically you. Take the path nobody dares to walk. Read 700 page philosophy books. Work for a month straight. Build something from nothing. Then disappear for a week. Don't be rational. Don't be logical Don't be normal ever. Be rare. Be obsessive. Be exactly who you are. This one mindset shift can absolutely change everything.
Obsessed people only have 6 moods:
1. Act like a psycho
2. Delusionally optimistic
3. Insane sense of urgency
4. Work 10 hours in a flow state
5. Studying patterns of the greats
6. Using game theory
Why be depressed and anxious when you can literally be optimistic high energetic and have the delusional belief that absolutely nothing can ever break you.
Life is fucking electric bro. Don’t fall for the doomer shit. That’s for losers and normies scared of their own shadows. Walk around like God sent you and smile at everyone you see. Spread light and abundance. Build things and take chances. This is the best time in history!
if you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you'll realize 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. always remember that
i don't know who needs to hear this but in order to become a better person, you must first realize how horrible you really are. not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet ways you sabotage yourself, repeat unhealthy patterns, hurt people who care about you, or tolerate what wounds you. you cannot grow if you keep pretending you’re innocent in the story you created
Btw Its a proven fact that
Your brain only registers a task as difficult and stress inducing when you're told its supposed to be difficult
Otherwise your brain naturally registers it as fun and competitive
Do not listen to anyone that tries to make life hard
Everything is fun
There’s no need to be afraid of any scenario in life, because it isn’t personal and it isn't the first time some has found themselves in such a scenario. It’s structural. The ego wants dramatic suffering. It wants its pain to be mythic. But most suffering is procedural. It’s part of the design of being alive.
You are not uniquely cursed. You are not cosmically targeted. You are simply next in line. Because if your problem is not divinely customized, then it is ordinary. And if it is ordinary, it is survivable. Millions before you have stood in this same queue. They felt the same dread. They thought it was the end. It wasn’t.
