there is nothing more attractive and more powerful than someone remembering who they are again. seeing them swim in their true essence after an extended time stuck at shore. seeing then return to themselves of old, but dealing with waves differently now.
The brain does not hate hard work. It hates unclear effort. If it cannot see where the work is going, how long it will last, or why it matters, it starts treating the task like failure instead of a challenge.
To be disciplined, I think you’ve got to have faith.
Faith in some future self of yours, who’d reap the benefit of today’s “disciplined shift.”
Discipline is hard work. Ain’t no doing that without having faith. My take.😅
WDYT?
People think discipline is punishment. It's actually self-compassion extended through time. You're taking care of a future version of yourself you've never met.
High intelligence often comes with heightened pattern recognition. You start noticing social masks, forced conversations, performative friendships, hidden motives, emotional immaturity, and energy that feels draining instead of nourishing. Many highly intelligent people also have more active nervous systems, deeper inner worlds, and lower tolerance for superficial stimulation, so solitude can feel safer than constantly shrinking themselves to fit environments that don’t feel aligned.
Brainrot steals the most powerful state (Boredom) from you. You become uniquely creative through boredom. Boredom space (The Void) is pregnant with "infinite idea potential". Your mind will be absorbed by ONE idea (thats your destiny). Without boredom, you'll only do what you've been told to do, extinguishing your souls flame through numbing. That single idea can fuel inspiration for the rest of your life and be the birth of something beyond your conscious imagination. Boredom is your superpower. Learn to use it.
after a couple weeks of working out, meal prepping, staying on top of/ahead of my work projects, being present for my friends and family, honoring my self-routines n keeping a clean apt...
this shit is not sustainable at all. lmao
One of the reasons that highly aware people self-isolate, or surround themselves only with select people, is because they can sense deep in their heart that most people cannot see them in the way that their soul desires and that there is no magical combination of words or explanations or pleas that could ever get someone to see what they simply cannot and do not wish to perceive…. or to question and dive deeper into themselves than they wish to dive.
Your most rational explanation would surely touch on a wound. Your weirdness would be too annoying. And so many accept that they will remain unseen in the way their innermost child desires unless they stumble upon someone innocent and curious and intelligent enough to care, and if they do not succumb to irony, resentment or victimhood entirely, find small joys in helping others or in witnessing something beautiful in nature, or in intellectual pursuits…
But I promise you if you are not willing to give up there ARE rare souls who can be reached… and when you do reach them, it will feel like a million billion symphonies and you’ll know you weren’t crazy.
Sometimes you will have to seek and believe and let your hopes be crushed over and over again. But NEVER GIVE UP!
