Slow down and be patient with life. If you seek wealth, someone else seeks health. If you seek health, someone else just died. Each time you build a mansion, someone digs a grave. Each time you waste food, someone searches for a meal. Be grateful.
How do you casually flag down a speeding vehicle in the middle of a highway, even if it has committed a traffic offence?
Anyway, I'm still rooting for the guy in the blue hoodie. Bro can run buana๐
Maybe we are just visitors in this life because, even if you work hard and fight for everything, you eventually leave with nothing, just as you came. No one can truly understand the mystery of life.
As a man, after you cross 30, sit down and study the patterns in your family. Look at what distracted, delayed, or derailed the men before you. Look at what destroyed them. Your father, his brothers, your uncles, older cousins etc... is it booze, is it gambling, is it women, is it recklessly siring everywhere, is it poor financial decisions, did they struggle with deep anger issues, domestic terrorists, did they practice witchcraft and all that.
Sit down and study those patterns,, then make intentional decisions to break those cycles. Remember some of these things are normal vices. Look for a recurring or deep recognizable patterns that are plastered all over men in your family. What brought them down. Do you see a pattern? Now that!
As Joshua Selman always says โAs a man, number one thing that will help you live to your potential is knowing what can bring you downโ. And you may not run away from your family tree. Refuse to be a victim of repeated patterns. Because they are there.
Whether you know it or not. Whether you recognize them or you donโt. They exist. They didnโt have the knowledge and resources we now have. Honor your progeny. Break out of them. Be made of Gold.
You work 8 hours to live 4?
You work 8 hours to eat in 15 minutes?
You work 5 days to enjoy 2?
You work all year just to have 28 days of annual leave?
And people still call this a โlifeโ.
I'll die on this hill: 9-5 is a SCAM.
