The modern world is managed by bureaucracies staffed with average people.
Bureaucrats pile on rule after rule to keep the below-average from hurting themselves or others.
Smart & capable individuals need to either opt-out of society or win big before the system suffocates them.
The most important epiphany of my life was realizing I could feel one way and still do an opposing action.
I can feel…
Angry & act kind.
Impatient & wait.
Afraid & move.
Insufficient & do enough.
Pain & endure.
Confidence comes after, not before, we prevail.
