Ego is always interested in something which is difficult, because when something is difficult there is a challenge, and if you can overcome the difficulty your ego will feel fulfilled. Ego is never attracted towards anything which is simple. But that which appeals to the ego cannot help your spiritual growth. Only that which has no appeal to your ego can be a help towards transformation. Alert, you are what you are.

Game theory advice:

Never ask yourself why a person behaves the way they do. That's a broad question, and you'll find nothing. Instead, find a clear structural reason: an incentive. Ask: "What outcome is being rewarded?" Is it the pursuit of social status, a monetary gain, or maybe an emotional desire? You're only ever as intelligent as the questions you seek to answer.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

The average man is too honest in places where he should be strategic, and too dishonest in places where he should be accountable. He reveals his plans to strangers, but lies to himself about his habits. Power begins when you reverse this. Be private with the world. Be mercilessly honest with yourself.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Be a paradox - ruthless and kind, disciplined and untamed, humble and proud, dangerous and gentle, skeptical and faithful, proletarian and aristocratic, cold in judgment and warm in affection, patient in strategy and decisive in action, private yet magnetic, ambitious without desperation, powerful without cruelty, civilized without becoming soft, and independent without becoming isolated.

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

All you need is to get rid of the tendency to define your self. All definitions apply to your body only and to its expressions. Once this obsession with the body goes, you will revert to your natural state, spontaneously and effortlessly.

“The greatest difficulty is the mental resistance to things that arise and the underlying assumption that they should not.”

~ Eckhart Tolle

[buddha osho @buddha_osho]

Be true. Even true sadness is better than a false smile - at least it is true. A true tear is better than an untrue laughter - at least it is true, authentic, it helps you grow. One grows through authenticity.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

You do not fear failure. You fear the death of the fantasy that you were special without proof. As long as you never fully try, you can keep believing greatness was available. The untouched dream is the coward’s favorite hiding place.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Be civil to everyone. Be close to almost no one. Access to you should be earned slowly and revoked quickly. That's the price of having standards. In your entire life, the amount people can be trusted without a doubt can be counted on a single hand.

[Thoughts Are Seeds @thoughtsRseeds]

You don’t have to see the whole path to move forward.

You just have to trust the next step.

Guidance doesn’t always show you everything at once…
it meets you as you’re ready.

Trust the nudge.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

A man of value forces others to earn his loyalty & commitment.

He doesn't just give it by default. Valueless men offer it upfront and in perpetuity. Big difference.

Men who provide no value are blindly loyal.

They'll do anything for a woman. They'll work forever for their employer. Without question, unconditionally. This is not loyalty.

It's the fear of losing a person that finds you valuable, when in reality, they're just using you.

Men of value have no obligation to loyalty.

If a woman does not support him, he'll leave.

If an employer doesn't reward and enable upward mobility, he will quit.

He owes no one anything. Because he provides the value, not them.

Loyalty is like respect. It has to be earned.

You don't just hand it over.

The fundamental reason why weak men show strong loyalty is because it fills their insecurity of not being wanted.

Competent men know they are wanted. They reciprocate selectively.

If you're a woman, a good metric that determines whether you are partner material, is to see whether you can earn the loyalty of a man with plenty of options.

Men with plenty of options worked very hard to occupy such positions. This excludes the trust fund boys.

The question becomes; what can you offer a man with value, to earn his loyalty in a undivided manner?

It's not going to be sex. It's not going to be looks.

You'll have to offer something far more valuable, deeply intertwined with his purpose to earn his loyalty.

If you're an employer; your best workers will be the most ambitious and will want upward mobility with stacks of rewards and bonuses.

If you fail to meet this requirement, you will fail to earn their loyalty.

They will leave. They know they can find a job elsewhere.

Disclaimer;

there are many men who think they are valuable and as a consequence, feel that they don't need to be loyal.

These men are poisonous. They are narcissists who haven't achieved anything to prove their exemption from loyalty.

They've likely inherited their position.

You have to instinctively understand, when you have earned the right to not be blindly loyal,

it doesn't mean you have also earned the right to ABUSE that privilege.

You have an obligation to give your loyalty to those who strive hard to earn it.

Narcissists don't get this.

The point of thisis; loyalty is not a virtue.

It's not a good quality. It only becomes a good quality when you are worth something.

It's a tool used to transfer your value to people who have value.

It's not a quality to be used to silence your worthlessness.

This wasn't exhaustive. But you get the idea.

Each pleasure is wrapped in pain. You soon discover that you cannot have one without the other ... Real happiness is not vulnerable, because it does not depend on circumstances ... Real happiness flows from within.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

[buddha osho @buddha_osho]

If you are angry, be angry wholeheartedly. But be aware. If you are aware anger is transformed. It becomes compassion. Anger is not your enemy. It is compassion in seed form. The same anger, the same energy, will become compassion. Take anger, hate, greed as divine gifts and approach them with a very grateful heart. Be friendly with all the energies that are given to you. Welcome them. Because these are the hidden sources, and they can be transformed, they can be opened.
~Osho

[buddha osho @buddha_osho]

Everything is a flux, changing, non-permanent. If you can remember change, detachment will happen. How can you be attached when everything is changing? Don’t cling. Live the change, be the change. Don’t create any struggle with it. Move with it. Don’t waste your energy by fighting with it. Just relax. Be in a let-go and move with the whole. In you the change cannot enter. So there is no need to be afraid. Live in the world. Don’t choose this way or that.
~Osho

[Swami Mukundananda @Sw_Mukundananda]

From our imperfect perspective, we become baffled in unsettling times. We question if there is any proper order in creation or is it just random chaos?
However, when we look at it from the side of the Supreme, there is always a grand design in place. Difficulties are not meant to kill our spirit, but to help us become our best selves. When we have this faith, it keeps us strong and gives us the determination to continue.

Live your life without hurting anybody. Harmlessness is a most powerful form of spiritual practice and it will take you speedily to your goal. It is the art of living in peace and harmony, in friendliness and love. The fruit of it is happiness, uncaused and endless.

[buddha osho @buddha_osho]

Love is spontaneous. It cannot be controlled. You cannot do anything about it. And the more you do, the more you will miss it. You have to allow it to happen. You are not needed for it. Your presence is the hindrance. The more you are absent, the better. When you are not, love happens.
~Osho

[Inner Practitioner @MindTendencies2]

A relationship without communication is a ticking time bomb. No open talks mean no understanding. No understanding means arguments, which lead to aggression and toxicity. Don't fall for potential. Fall for clarity. If they can't speak clearly, they'll eventually speak harshly.
