So sad that the Department of “Justice” and the FBI are slow walking, or even not giving, the unredacted documents requested by Congress. An embarrassment to our country!
Set aside an extended period of time for you to appear like a loser to everyone else.
Be calm and comfortable in it.
You’re not locking in, you’re not planning something secret and huge, you’re not working on anything major.
Be completely ok with the external judgements and feeling that you’re behind.
Don't perform. Don’t justify. Don’t brag. Even when you can - don’t make excuses. Just hold it.
Observe your desire to show off, notice what makes you feel the urge to over explain - why you feel unacceptable to yourself.
This sounds small, but it will fundamentally change you forever.
It will allow you to hold the big things properly when you actually advance.
This also applies to your physique.
Many years ago when I was obese I would tense my abs 24/7 to pull in my stomach and adjust my dark baggy t shirts constantly, as if trying to appear as acceptable as possible to others.
One day I turned my locus inwards.
I didn’t make a big deal about working out, I simply started training and enjoying it.
I relaxed into my flesh, enjoyed the feeling and sensations of training and eating clean.
I specifically remember I stopped tensing and unconsciously adjusting my shirt, I didn’t care what others saw because the mental picture of me in my head was stronger. It just didn’t matter.
I didn’t tell them about my meal prep or training, didn’t say I planned to get cut and sculpted.
No explanation or justification for my previous state.
I actually started speaking less all together, because I realised how many of the words I said were performative and validation seeking
That’s when I knew I’d made an astronomical and invisible internal change.
Accepting my state and focusing on the altering the internalised mindset is actually the only time I’ve ever made massive external change.
I was, and then I did.
You need to be retardmaxxing
Most are paralyzed.
Worrying about VPNs, aged accounts, and "perfecting" their strategy. They never starts.
The retard just sees a format that's working and copies it.
He posts daily. He gets views.
He'll make more mistakes, but he'll also gather 100x more real-world data while the smart guy is still reading a book about it.
My clients who win are the ones who embrace this.
You don't need to be smarter. You need to be faster.
Stop thinking. Start doing.
The market rewards speed, not intelligence.
My only real advice to those younger than me is to spend more money on & more time with your friends. You never know when you’re going to lose them. The extra ~$500 in your brokerage account is meaningless compared to the memories. Book the trip. Make an effort. Call your friends
Making cruel fun of something is almost always a guarantee you’ll see a similar fate.
Can feel it in your gut when you do it too.
You know you’ve signed some kind of invisible contract.
You’ll think back to the exact time you made fun of someone for the thing that’s happening to you.
No such thing as a cheap laugh, a lot of them come with a stamp that is very expensive.
I do not share much of my personal life on social media but today is gonna be different. If you are the praying type please lift up my wife Lindsey. She has brain cancer and surgery is Wednesday at Duke. So thankful to serve a loving God that meets us in our struggles!
It’s actually the people who respond flippantly to things like this who are the most controlled by their emotions. I can empathize with her situation and acknowledge that it’s clearly unfortunate while still understanding that a country needs borders because I know I won’t be overcome by those feelings.
The performative cruelty in response to this is a guard against not having a handle on their emotions, they tend to get carried away by them so they have to replace their sympathy with big displays of anger lest they betray their own interests.
Grateful for this amazing opportunity. Basketball means everything to me, and no matter where I play the game, I’ll do so with the same joy, passion and goal - to win championships.
a key element of fascism is making it appear that the entire world is organized against your group when in fact you are in the most advantageous and powerful position in society. the los angeles lakers are a textbook example of this phenomenon.
