The reason men do not look to Christ as a masculine model is because they have been handed a version of him that was stripped of everything demanding. A kind teacher. A symbol of mercy. A figure who asks very little and absorbs whatever you bring him. That is not the Christ of the Gospels. That is not the man who overturned tables, who walked toward Jerusalem knowing what was waiting, who bore the full weight of human sin and held his peace under it.
What you find when you actually study his life is a man of total interior mastery. He wept. He got angry. He loved people with a depth most of us cannot access. And he never once let any of it move him off mission
Talking About Problems
“Some people spend so much time talking about what's wrong that they forget to notice what's right.
Your mind grows in the direction of your attention.
If you feed it nothing but problems, you'll only see obstacles.
If you learn to appreciate the good, you'll start seeing opportunities.”
18 year olds after 13 years of government education:
-can't build a house
-can't work on a car
-no idea how to farm
-economically illiterate
-historically iliterate
-no idea how our bodies work
-no clue about healthy nutrition
-is chronically depressed
You must mythologize yourself and everything in your life.
See your struggles as heroic trials, your victories as divine rewards, your path as a sacred quest.
Turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Normalize talking about money.
Normalize having zero debt.
Normalize investing early.
Normalize driving the same car for 10 years.
You’re not broke, you’re building.
@enjoywithshubh It buys time, freedom, options, and peace of mind.
Stop playing small — learn the game, master the skills, secure the bag.
Broke thinking solves nothing.
It’s about a 22 minute drive between the airport and my apartment. The drive from Burger King to my apartment is only 1 minute less, and yet it is about $30 less.
It disgusts me beyond belief. Lyft is no different. I used to appreciate both services before they got greedy.
I hope GREEDY @Uber goes out of business. It costs almost $50 to get a ride from the airport to my apartment. It costs $20 to get a ride from the Burger King, which is directly outside of the airport, to my apartment.
They’re absolutely taking advantage of their customers.
