The most frightening person i ever witnessed was a man who only wanted one thing. everybody around him had a hundred plans, a hundred projects they were going to start next month, and he had one, just one. and he never talked about it much, and that was the part that unnerved you, because when someone talks a lot about what they want, you can relax. talking is letting the pressure out, so it's harmless. but he was airtight.
Everything in him was moving toward one point, in silence. within a few years he was in a place no one else could reach, and everybody who had watched him stood there scattered and confused, with their mouths full of plans that never solidified into anything. i learned from watching him that the mouth is a leak. every time you say what you are going to do, you lose a piece of the will that would have done it
DO NOT DATE WHILE:
- You're broke
- You're out of shape
- Your mind is a mess
- Your habits are weak
- Your life has no direction
Fix your foundation first.
The right person respects stability
the golden rule is that you should rarely if ever try to change anyone’s mind.
this is a fool’s errand cuz it rarely works, & even when it does the belief you installed is way weaker, the person becomes resentful, & everything dynamic from then on becomes borrowed instead of owned.
you can only gently probe until you understand why they arrived at that conclusion. then you must move on like it never happened. this is true for any type of relationship including professional but esp true in romantic dynamics.
The wealthiest guy i know told me once, stop looking for intelligent people to work with, start looking for patient ones. intelligent people get side, they get bored, they get ideas. patient people finish shit. he was right
You will continue to be miserable for as long as you will believe that you don't deserve the absolute best and channel your energy every day to get it.
Prices are never going to go down and people’s wages are just never going to go up proportionately if at all things are going to keep getting worse and this is probably just the actual end times large amounts of people just won’t have the resources to continue to be alive soon
