Soemtimes you gotta be the friend who says:
“bro, you’re absurdly negative and it’s draining for everyone around you. Are you aware that you do that?”
Fake friends never say anything
It doesn’t matter if your parents don’t believe in you.
You can’t expect them to see what you see. It’s not their vision. You can’t expect someone to see a dream that wasn’t for them.
Prove them wrong with your actions.
You got this.
You're generous with your time. Friend needs to talk, you'll listen. Get asked for advice, you're there. Favor requested from you, sure thing.
Time is a form of wealth. You don't think much about giving it out "freely." But money is also a form of wealth.
Time, you can never get it back. Money, you can. Interestingly, you don't care about "wasting" time, even if it's actually more scarce than money. Money is more abundant than time, yet you hold onto it with your life.
Makes no sense. There's so many of these "irrational" contradictions that you never bothered to find reason in. As an alleged free thinker, question them. Chip away at the layers of conditioning.
You really think the greats never had days where they thought it was all over? Everyone does. But guess what, life goes on. You wake up the next day and the sun rises. Each day it will hurt a little less until you don’t even think of it at all. One foot infront of the other.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING AROUND YOU IS A LIE?
EVERYTHING YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT HOW THE WORLD FUNCTIONS IS A LIE.
EVERYTHING THEY ARE TELLING YOU ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING IS A LIE.
THE HISTORY YOU'VE MEMORISED.
THE POLITICS YOU WITNESS.
THE DIVISIONS THEY PURPORT.
THE SAFETY THEY PROMISE.
EVERY. SINGLE. THING. IS. A. LIE.
ITS BULLSHIT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO HIDE ONE THING.
THE TRUTH.
Midday loitering is Aristocratic trait. 11am ocean swim. Noon city walks. 2pm bookstore exploration. Relaxed, untimed conversations with anybody catching eye.
Simultaneously contributing Nothing & Everything to society
Don’t follow the crowd.
Let’s be honest, you’ll never be different if you do the same as everyone else.
Look around you. Everyone is doing the same thing as each other.
No wonder they aren’t getting different outcomes.
Look what everyone else does, then do the opposite.
In January I had less than $100 in my bank account.
I've been below $500 multiple times over the past few months.
But because I was so close to nothing I had no option but to figure out how to make money online.
"There's nothing more dangerous than a man with nothing to lose."
I tell people I won't:
• Work a job
• Have a boss
• Do interviews
• Make a resume
• Work in an office
And they look at me like I have 3 heads.
To go your own path, you have to be okay with looking crazy.
How often you've had your trust broken shows how big your heart is. The person who managed to live a life unscathed is actually the biggest coward of all. No risk, no reward. Emotional caution can help you avoid the pain, but only blind faith can bring you to the promised land.
Your struggle was engineered by God. You were gifted an unforeseen challenge because He knew you were getting too comfortable. Your ego was growing too fast. It had to be recalibrated when the stakes were low. Preparing you to receive grander blessings. Saving you from sabotage.
I'm almost 30 days alcohol free & I realize how much it's ingrained into society.
Just made a sale? Let's drink to that.
Going on a date? Gotta have a drink.
Wanna have dinner? Let's get a bottle of wine.
It's such a part of our culture that it's become weird not to do it.
You don't escape the "matrix" by being contrarian. You do it by not even caring about what's contrarian or not. You simply do stuff you personally resonate with. You can be "based" but you're still mentally shackled if you're using mainstream culture as your basis for comparison.
Refusing to explain yourself is a proverbial middle finger to people who've never followed their heart. You need to be saying things like, "I just know." They want you to rationalize your way through life. They simply don't get that conviction through feeling is the only compass.
The CDC now says that due to breakthrough infections and natural immunity there is no reason to treat vaccinated and unvaccinated people differently. Twitter banned users who pointed this out last year. Never forget that people were censored for saying what the CDC is saying now.
