you can pick basically any skill, consistently practice it for just a year, and end up being better at it than 95% of the population.
that’s how low the bar is.
no competition. the most difficult and only obstacle is you.
You need boredom. A lot of it. Start by going on walks without music. No stimulation. No distractions of any kind. If you learn to sit with your own thoughts, for long enough, in time they will start serving you. You'll start having ideas once again. You'll start developing an extreme sense of clarity that will shift you into the next stage of your life. All by being bored, which is pretty insane.
So friedrich nietzsche has a quote, and it's arguably one of the most brilliant things I've ever heard. And I think you need to hear it. It goes like this, "most people do not think, they repeat, they adopt the opinions of those around them, wear them like borrowed clothes and call it a worldview. And when you dare to think for yourself, really think, they will not admire you for it, they will resent you because your refusal to conform is a mirror they did not ask to look into. The unexamined man does not hate you because you are wrong. He hates you because somewhere beneath the noise he suspects you might be right."
Science in 2026: reels deactivate your brain's self control centre.
Krishna, 5000 years ago:
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते ।
सङ्गात्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥
क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः ।
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥
Gita 2.62-63
Keep watching things you enjoy, you get hooked.
Being hooked becomes craving.
When craving is not satisfied, you get restless and angry.
Anger confuses the mind.
A confused mind forgets everything. When memory goes, your thinking power dies.
And when thinking power dies, the person is finished.
That is exactly what scrolling does. Watch, get hooked, crave more, lose focus, lose memory, lose self control.
Same truth. One needed an fMRI machine. One needed nothing.
And people still ask why we praise our shastra.
Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between a real crisis and an argument you are rehearsing in your head. Imagining worst-case scenarios puts your body through physiological stress for a threat that doesn’t exist. You are exhausting yourself over imaginative stories.
