You are your own worst enemy. You waste precious time dreaming of the future instead of engaging in the present. Since nothing seems urgent to you, you are only half involved in what you do. The only way to change is through action and outside pressure.
Chat, if you are stoked for Christopher Nolan's epic adaptation of The Odyssey, be sure to seek out Jean-Daniel Pollet's Méditerranée (from 1963) first! And then Straub & Huillet's 1992 film Antigone!!!
what it takes to increase your luck (luckmaxxing)
exposure (groups, activities, environments) + risk taking + energy + right place + right time + removing any negative associations with yourself (no more unlucky jokes)+ recognizing how fortunate you are to live your life = luck
James Brown once fined his band $50 for missing a single cue
He ran the tightest ship in funk.
Rehearsals were brutal, and Brown would signal with his fingers to call out anyone off the beat

My mom used to say if you're showing cleavage always wear a necklace or pendant to give people a chance to say "cool necklace" if you catch them staring. This lesson applies to everything in life-- always give people an out. When people feel embarrassed, even if it's their fault, they subconsciously hate you
if you find this guy annoying and youre not sure why, its because he does every video like he just discovered sliced bread and youve never heard of it. and its not his fault. the algorithm boxed him into one type of content. hes completely algo captured.
