I’ve got a thing for fast cars and loud guitars

[Rajjath @Rajjath24]

turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.

[Dear Son. @DearS_o_n]

The man you will be in 5 years depends on:

The books you read
The foods you eat
The habits you build
The friends you meet
The workouts you do
The money you invest
The sacrifices you make.

Act accordingly. Your future self is watching.

Above all, you must learn to become (and remain) flexible and adaptable.

As 19th Century Prussian military strategist Helmuth von Moltke so eloquently put it:
"No battle plan survives first contact with the enemy."

Put a different way, when asked his thoughts on the strategy of his opponents, Mike Tyson responded;
"Everyone has a plan... until I punch them in the mouth."

There is no such thing as a bad business plan on paper.
But shit happens. Life unfolds with its myriad of unexpected and unaccountable variables.

You WILL get hit. It's not a matter of if, but WHEN.
And when circumstance does strike, how are you going to respond?

The amateur falls in love with the plan.
The professional falls in love with the mission.

But the plan is just the first draft map drawn, not yet bloodied by reality. Reality has teeth. Markets shift. Technology develops. Wind changes direction.

Encountering change, and emerging victorious is less a matter of "having a plan", and more about having the internal resources and architecture to keep moving, and adjust on the fly when your plan gets murdered.

Musashi said,
"Fixation is the way to death; Fluidity is the way to life."

YOU MUST STAY ADAPTABLE.
NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH THE PLAN.
BOB AND WEAVE. ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES.

Plan lovers are one variable change away from being paralysed. When rubber meets the road, and life doesn't match exactly how they spreadsheeted it.. they freeze, they panic, they quiver, cower, and give up.

Then they look for someone to blame...

Be it the weather, the economy, the jews, their childhood, their competitors, the algo, their genetics, their parents, the nature of the other gender, their ex, their "trauma", their timing, their lack of resources. Anything.

ANYTHING, except the ugly truth.
They CUCKED. They folded under pressure.
They threw in the towel.

All because, what they failed to realise is...

Much like a rocket, which does not fly to it's destination by being perfectly on course the entire time... but rather, through TINY and CONSTANT course-corrections, deviations, and adjustments. Over and over. Again and again. YOU MUST LEARN TO ADAPT ON THE FLY.
(No pun intended)

Success does not come from being right at the beginning. Success comes from correcting course at a rate faster than the environment can kill you.

Darwin echoed this in his final conclusion, determining the exact quality that allows organisms to survive, expand, flourish, and prosper:

"It is not the strongest, nor the smartest of the species that survives. It is the organism MOST ADAPTABLE TO CHANGE."

FALL IN LOVE WITH CORRECTING COURSE.
Rather than having the goal of creating a life where nothing hits you, instead, aspire to become the kind of person who can take the hit, absorb the feedback and alchemise the experience, becoming better/faster/stronger because of it.

Be bending, but never breaking.
Pivoting, but never abandoning the mission.

Condition yourself day by day to be fluid in method, and violently resolute in commitment.

Above all, you must learn to become (and remain) flexible and adaptable.

It is the only way to ensure your survival.

Namaste.

I’ve listened to Terminate for years now. The positive changes Rubi has inspired in my life, how could I not support while also investing in myself?

Your mind, your life - program it right.

Thank you always @DejaRu22

if each year your life doesn’t get better and better,

you’re doing something terribly wrong

[mason @msnwshr]

@FilmzLoverz just watched it again last night since I got the steelbook… easily a 10/10.

[DR22 Ω 🪬🎭 @DejaRu22]

I don’t use United States Dollars.

But I ALWAYS keep a crisp Benjamin in my wallet that I never spend.

This is intentional.

WHY? WHAT FOR?

Because - in Feng Shui, it is recommended that you keep a fruit bowl in your home, and keep it filled.

Real fruit is obviously better, but even fake fruit will suffice.* contemplate this.

Don’t waste your breath, but, if you were to try and explain to normies why this logically makes sense and actually works to invite and increase abundance in your home and in your life… they will look at you like you’re insane.

But the perceptive and informed class understand that because everything is connected, you can invite a particular energy by arranging a receptacle composed of its sympathetic qualities.

Like attracts like.
Qualities can be invoked via resonance and correspondence.

(This is the general idea behind talismans)

The universe is alive and teeming with forces that you can “catch” through the use of various forms of constructed antennae

Invite abundance into your life.
Keep your fruit bowl full.
Do you understand?

Above all else,

I respect two things most in a person.

Intellect. And adherence to principle.

-

By intellect, I am talking about the dimensions (breadth and depth) of their thought, their ability to observe the world and the things within, above, and around it, and their ability to process and extrapolate this in such a way that they continually adapt and evolve because of it.

By adherence to principle, I am talking about their stubborn and unflinching commitment to remain loyal to a code which they have arrived at through careful contemplation, and have agreed to follow in every circumstance, no matter how strong the temptation to betray it may be. When this is aligned with virtue, we call it integrity.
