Trapped in mediocrity?

[New habits for the remarkable]

1. Seeking clarity. Dive deep for understanding & truth.
2. Embrace social exchange; grow mutually.
3. Surpass self limitations. Result: Collective betterment.

Good alternatives to self-sabotage in failure modes:

Get Physical (”Move”, exercise, play, workout, sex. . .)
Get Silent (”disconnect”, reset, mindfulness. . .)
Or Learn (new, or better.)

No I guess moments, things to fill time, or to stay busy, or just to do something.

Something I tell myself. . .

Failure is one of the greatest variables there is to life; it brings gratitude, learning and variation.

You can always add space, begin again, or bring forth a good attitude. Additionally;

Apparently building skill around #nutrition with #ClaudeAI 's #fable5 is considered in the realm of a "#Bioweapon"; thus forcing me to the Opus model. 😒

Your brain is hostage. Your entire personality is hostage.

You cannot grasp how much better your life will become if you stop watching TV, using social media and all overstimulation.

Reduce your activities to only:
-Work
-Reading (fiction is fine)
-Exercise
-Low-stimulation creative hobbies (guitar, writing, etc.)
-Direct human interaction

No scrolling. No TV. No drinking. No video games.
Intentional. Purposeful. Boredom.

Through this boredom your brain will reach absurd clarity. Left alone, this clarity will turn towards things that improve your life. Those things will become addictively fun.

Here are two simple ways to test yourself.
A) Crack open a fiction novel. A good one, so you have no excuses. Can you sit and read for an hour straight?

95% of people cannot do this.

B) During the day, measure how much time you spend doing nothing.

If you are like most people, there is not a single moment where you sit with your thoughts. Zero moments where you allow yourself to be bored. Every empty moment is filled with a screen/some form of stimulation.

If you can't do A...And B is out of control...The solution is to simply...Start practicing both.

Drop all the overstimulation. Give yourself only 4 options.

Work
Read
Exercise
Sit and be bored

That's it.

You will be shocked how easy 1, 2 and 3 become when you don't give your brain any other option.

Even better...You will notice your personality and creativity returns...that vibe you had when you were a kid...when you allow your brain to just sit...

Do it. You'll unlock super powers.

@imayaanaa Don't question obsession, if you are in a state of flow, follow that.

Though:
1. Breaks add space & processing allowing better output.
2. The world will not give you rest, you have to take it, and you would be wise to do so. (Healthy Sleep, Mindfullness, leisure activities.)

The normal adult...

· Can't do a pull-up
· Sits under fake lights
· Gets fatter each year
· Walks 4000 steps/day
· Hits the snooze button 3x
· Takes meds over fixing their lifestyle
· Is glued to their phone 6 hours a day

I don't know about you, but I don't want to be normal.

The secret is to be useful.

Create. Design. Build. Write. Sell. Learn. Dissect. Hypothesize. Synthesize. Help.

Contribute more value than you take.

Don't be a leech.

It's so important to be constantly pursuing something that only you have control over

Something that makes relying on others impossible

When the world shifts out of your control you need to solidly know you're the one in the driver's seat

Saturday. 4am. Mega post.

If You're Male Read This Or Die.

I keep reading on Twitter how hard it is to be a man these days. How society has abandoned us/

Get it through your head. Society HATES you. The world is PVP. If you win someone else loses. Here's the truth

The wealth of the world is still predominantly 99% controlled by men. The reason you are feeling abandoned, excluded, disregarded is because these men don't give a SHIT about you.

The reason your being metaphorically spayed n neutered is because they don't need you. They are winning so big that your piece of the pie is becoming microscopic.

This is what is REALLY happening.

It's not society. It's not women. It's not children. It's mainly the group of elite men in this world getting smaller and leaving everyone else behind.

In caveman society humans lived in tribes of about 150 people.

In these tribes 1-2 guys mated with all the women, got all the surplus and controlled everything. The rest were betas and got scraps in all regards while having to "get in line" for most their life...Their needs absolutely not considered beyond their "usefulness" to the tribe leaders.

This is not nice. It isn't fair, but this is the NATURAL state of humanity. Maleness is abundantly CRUEL. You have no value if you cannot provide and your value is CONSTANTLY contested.

Here's the good news though : As a man your value is 100% in your control.

You go to the riches places on earth, the riches rooms on earth, the private airports where people are paying $60,000 per round trip domestic flight. It's mostly all dudes running the show and dudes funding it. Dudes deciding what happens.

Men who elevate and make themselves valuable dominate this world. They cannot be regulated by society or "cast aside". They are the source of power and the ONES enabling this regulating to happen.

They can live and have whatever damn life they choose. No one can tell them no because THEY HOLD THE CHIPS.

And the CHIPS are always on the table ready to be taken.

MOST billionaires are self made. Most centi-millioniares are self made. Most deca-millionaires are self made.

As a man at any time you can choose to learn the skills and gain the experience that gives you MASSIVE leverage, value and control.

With this leverage and control you can overcome ANY societal system. As you grow the less permission you need to a point that you can do anything you want whenever you want.

You see this societal system is for the most part built and enabled by...other men.

Its not that females can't reach the same heights of power. They can and do all the time. It's simply that MEN are predisposed for this role and pursuit of dominance in society.

Thus again, when you back up and look at society, it is just systems created by mostly...bum bum bum....very powerful dudes.

Go look at the billionaire list. All 2000+ of them...Its 99% men, some of the richest women on the list getting their fortunes from divorcing these men. Does it look like society is "casting aside" men. Hahaha. Get real.

So truly what is "keeping men down" isn't society. It's other dudes.

Stop looking to win or lose by fitting into this society. It's a game MADE by other dudes.

You think the college/home/debt life system is made for OUR benefit. HA! Its basically just a labor line that let's them extract the value of a human over their lifetime. There's almost NEVER a point in any males life where 95% of his income is going back into the system while his labor grows its value (the final 5% eventually gotten after death etc).

The ENTIRE point of society is to extract as much value from other men WITHOUT them rioting. Rioting limits value extraction.

So again....If your male...Shuuuut the F$%$%k up about society leaving you, being rigged, etc.

OF COURSE ITS RIGGED. Your not in a "society" your entire life is PVP VS other men and some of the other men playing create and maintain "society" as part of their strategy for winning.

You must think outside the system and IMMEDIATELY build your own value. There is absolutely no blockage or restrictions of a man of immense value n skill.

You gain enough leverage and the world opens up as the whole "society" thing is meant for men without value. It's a cage.

Be FOCKING good at generating value, be a weapon of a man, be SERIOUS about yourself and your goals.

The only way to win in this PVP society is to beat other men. You MUST be better than 99.5% of them.

If not you will be locked in the the traps the .5% of men set for you to extract your value THEY are using for leverage to beat other men.

It's that simple. There is no society. There is no fair system. Just very very large leverage extraction systems in a PVP game men are playing against each other.

Society hasn't abandoned men. Society is a game made and maintained by men. Society has and is being optimized to extract value from lesser men.

For the love all things good, don't be a lesser man who thinks you can make it playing within a system created by greater men.

Leave a like if you enjoy these post. Have a swell day.

don't burn your bridges:

- let people disagree with you
- let people think they're right
- let people walk away

In 2023 I decided to give up alcohol.

I started with a month and eventually it turned into a year.

Once that year ended I decided to bring it back in moderation.

But after my first few drinks I realized the cost wasn't worth the reward.

Why did I give it up? John Mayer does a great job here of describing what it feels like to give up alcohol:
