10 books that shaped who I am today.
Forgiving a manipulative person is useless.
Accept what they've done to you and move on the best you can.
Someone like that requires the assistance of God Himself through facing the heat of their own actions.
Find something to devote yourself to that's more meaningful than just money.
Money is a tool; the possession of money is a sort of power.
Wield money responsibly and find something good and honourable to do with it.
"Not one nation has ever set itself up on the principles of science and reason; there has never been an example of it, unless perhaps for only a moment, out of foolishness."
~ Dostoevsky
An interesting thought.
School is not a waste of time.
We need to stop saying this.
It's there so that we all have at least a basic understanding of the world in each broard subject of academia.
Without that we'd all only be highly specialised in our one chosen thing and be effectivley unable to communicate to anyone outside of our one speciality.
This New Year I almost entirely forgot to even think of what my goals and resolutions are.
Too focused on simply living out the things I've been applying for years.
My goals now stretch over more than one year.
Get as far away from victimhood mentality as possible, don’t compare yourself to others, just beat yesterday’s best as many times as you can and don’t stop.
Simply being the type of person that pushes boundaries and doesn’t settle for being average will have cascading effects. Pick one simple thing such as running, commit yourself to it, become the best runner you can possibly be. After a while you’ll find that your life has improved in many more areas than just your running ability.
One of the most interesting books I ever read.
The Hero With A Thousand Faces
The original book that explains the idea of the Hero's journey and the monomyth. The idea that all stories follow essentially the same structure, only told in different ways.
Take stories seriously.
Stories are what bind you to the nature of the world and how you see yourself in it.
Without a solid story to pin your life onto you will become lost, hopeless and even depressed before too long.
Good stories are important.
Start posting about whatever the hell you want and whatever moves you deeply. Don't worry about the algorithm or what others will think.
Stop thinking about how you're gonna make money and instead think about what truly drives you and has shaped who you are today.
It is not necessarily the person with the biggest muscles or the loudest voice that makes the best leader. It’s the person that people can trust; the person that would do the same as another if the roles were switched.
