Same game. Different packaging.
Put yourself in situations where you have too much at stake to waste time or resources—if you cannot afford to lose, you won’t. Place yourself on “death ground,” where your back is against the wall and you have to fight like hell to get out alive.
Had a mentor tell me once: "When you're feeling overwhelmed, there are only two things you should do... get organized and get to work. The rest is just noise. Peace is found in progress."
i’ve seen people workout at 4 am before working two jobs. i’ve known introverts who became great communicators when an important relationship needed it. i’ve seen people who weren’t “ready” suddenly commit to the right person. people give effort to what’s important to them
most valuable lesson i’ve learned all year is: if you want something specific out of life, do not entertain anything below it.
do not flirt with other possibilities and outcomes. it’s a waste of energy.
be bizarrely stubborn about what you deserve.
finish something. anything. stop researching, planning, preparing to do the work and just do the work instead. it doesn’t matter if it’s great or terrible. you don’t need to impress anyone on your first try. you just need to prove to yourself that you can start and finish it.
The older I get, the more I realize:
Momentum is everything. One good day creates another. One workout leads to better eating. One hard conversation opens ten easy ones. One small win builds confidence for bigger ones. Get the ball rolling. Physics handles the rest.
Over a lifespan I’ve observed that people who are petty, argumentative, narrowly competitive, envious, & grudging tend to—actually, always—fail professionally, in spite of occasional lucky breaks. They also fail in their marriages.
growing up is realising high agency beats high iq. the "smart" ones are busy sitting around over-intellectualising everything. while the "foolish" ones are busy starting the thing, sending the email, launching the product, publishing the idea. seeing reality as malleable.
You’ll be able to deduce a lot about your psychological state based on the type of horniness you feel.
Hypersexuality is pathological, stressful, and doggish state that distracts and diminishes:
It brings violent kinks and abnormal fetishes alongside.
There is an inherent shame in your movement. Loins feel empty. The repugnant stench of your perverted thoughts unconsciously turn healthy people away from you.
Healthy Libido is an overflowing life force:
Abundant. Earthy. Your sweet juices form the vessel that nourishes the tree of life and spirit.
You feel bountiful and energised in all that you do. Others are attracted to your magnetism. Being turned on turns others on as well. There’s an unmistakable grounding of your loins.
Your sexual fantasies are vibrant. The sex you imagine is a raw, flavourful vanilla.
