I'm Austin Red, and I'm exploring, questioning, and sharing my perspective on some outdated ideologies that govern our lives. #austinred #bethechange 🖤

Having an education means you have the capacity to memorize standardized ideas. To be intelligent, you must have abstract reasoning skills that go beyond the norm.

Find a creative outlet that makes you happy—one where you can draw outside the lines. Serenity is found when you go beyond the limitations of formality.

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

You’re not “not creative."

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

Boredom is the creation of an uncreative mind.

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

It's desire that separates the thought from the thinker.

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

When explanations are allowed in terms of why things exist—not just how they work—you can’t predict where the mind will go. You can unprogram your mind by asking one simple question: Why?

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

When a person truly want to help others, they tell them the truth. When they want to help themselves, they tell gullible people what they want to hear. People don’t lie to protect your feelings; they lie because the truth might expose their true motives and stop you from making choices that serve their self-interest. When you’re hungry for validation, you leave yourself open to manipulation. The one with no desires sees others’ motives more clearly.

We’ve been raised to believe Sportsworld is about unity, strength, and fair play.
But what if it's just another place we run to—not to feel alive, but to avoid feeling empty?

There’s nothing wrong with loving the game.
But it’s worth asking—are we watching to be inspired, or just to forget ourselves for a little while?

The question isn’t about sports. It’s about you.

The Sportsworld is a sweaty Utopia that can't be found on any maps, but since the birth of mass media, marketing, and commericals it has been promoted and sold as the land of the titans—a place where the so-called best of the flock showcase their skills in exchange for your praise, devotion, and most importantly, your money. It's an institution dedicated to the body—a measuring stick for the human physique. A menagerie of tailored gladiators displaying acts of heroic feats scripted to entertain the hopeless fanatic. An enchanting lair that conjures up a time of childlike innocence when we believed fairness and integrity were virtuous, when the rightous triumphed over the unworthy, and when every misdeed performed on the path to victory was forgiven—as redemption is found only in the hearts of winners.

About half of U.S. adults struggle with complex reading. Ignorance is the oldest tool of control.

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

When morality becomes an obligation, does it encourage authentic kindness or merely obedient compliance?

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

Being humble isn't about thinking less of yourself. It's about recognizing that you're more privileged than others and using that advantage to be benevolent. Humanity is a weakness to those who are unsatisfied with their life.

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

Idiots don't know when they're wrong or when they're fighting with a fellow idiot.

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

When the goal justifies the means, the means doesn't seem so mean.

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

The suffering of the working class isn't just economic. It's psychological. It's the result of an obsession with consumerism, of trying to prove their self-worth through status symbols, of buying into illusions of freedom and control. True freedom isn’t in purchasing power. It’s in contentment, autonomy, and breaking free from socially conditioned desires.

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

Confidence isn't just about knowing you're right or thinking everybody loves you. It's also about knowing you'll be okay, even when you mess up, even when you're disliked.

[austinredbethechange @Bethechnge]

The person who takes full responsibility for their actions is becoming obsolete. The individual who sees their actions as a product of trauma or the demands of an authority figure is becoming more prominent.

Fasting doesn't connect you to some cosmic energy source.

Do your research on fasting to truly understand what happens to your body when you do and stop trying to connect to everything but yourself.
