Audacious people start new businesses, invent new things, start new social or political movements, they lead, they explore, they expand our horizons.
Without audacity nothing new happens.
Intelligent people struggle with addiction. Their minds need more. They have obsessions nobody around them shares. Philosophy. Astronomy. Dostoevsky. Jazz. Quantum physics. Things they know deeply. Things they've gone so deep into that anything else feel like small talk. And small talk feels like suffocation. So... they drink. Work until 2 am. Doomscroll until they're numb. Because there is a gap. A gap between who you are and the conversations available to you. And it's one of the loneliest places a person can live.
The electron has no surface. When you imagine an electron… You probably think of a tiny sphere orbiting a nucleus. But that's an outdated image. In modern physics, the electron has no boundary. It has no "skin." It has no measurable surface. As far as we've been able to measure… It behaves like a point particle. With no detectable size. With no known internal structure. It's not a little ball. It's an excitation of a quantum field that exists throughout the universe. That means something unsettling: When you "touch" something… There's never actually any solid contact. It's electric fields repelling each other. So, here's the thing: If the electron has no surface… What exactly are you touching right now?
i have a theory that it takes two weeks of obsession to reach the top 10% of a field, two months to reach the top 1%, two years to reach the top 0.1%, and two decades to reach the top 0.01%.
in the end, the relentless pursuit of your potential is an offering.
not to the world’s expectations, not to anyone’s approval, but to the sacred contract you made with existence itself the moment you realized you were capable of more than you were currently expressing.
and breaking that contract is easy.
honoring it is what separates the living from those who are merely alive.
10 people… Wiped from the face of the Earth… just like that!
Name one country where people’s existence is as dehumanised and worse than Pigs in a slaughterhouse.
They never know whose turn is it next!
civilization’s amnesia loop:
1. notice a problem
2. invent a fix
3. turn the fix into tradition
4. forget what it was fixing
5. toss the tradition aside
6. rediscover the problem
Life is non linear. And if you are lucky, it’s magnificently exponential. Don’t let mid people who teach finance and retirement trick you into settling for a mediocre 11.5% SIP return on your life
