I’m convinced 95% of being a high performer is to just do 5 things:
- Be obsessed like a psychopath
- Have delusional optimism
- Avoid unserious people
- Take asymmetric risks
- Be relentless
Most people today treat multi-hour daily social media scrolling as a normal, low-cost way to unwind or stay connected. By 2050 it may look as reckless as mid-20th-century doctors endorsing cigarettes: a habit that eroded attention, sleep, and real relationships while being sold as harmless entertainment.
@kcemenikex@Big_marvis Can you name a first-century historical source showing that seamless garment were exclusively worn by wealthy people and not high priestly people?
Blindness does not arrive in one day.
God sends correction.
You pass it over.
He sends it again. He is long-suffering.
You pass it over again.
That is how a man who thinks he is following God ends up following his own heart.
"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?"
The scariest part is not the blindness.
It is that you do not know you have it.
Life is strange. You arrive with nothing, spend your whole life chasing everything, and still leave with nothing. Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.
