you are a product of your actions, not your aspirations

Simple analogy on living a life of purpose.
Were you blessed?

[PS @dostoevesque]

Luck is found in motion, not at home. When you look at it, luck is nothing but subjecting yourself to possibilities. The universe hates no one more than the man who is constantly preparing. That endless preparation is nothing but anxiety wearing the mask of productivity, a clever psychological trap that lets you fool yourself into believing you're being wise and responsible, when in reality you're hiding from the raw fear of stepping into new possibilities, fresh failures, and the unknown.

It becomes the sneakiest form of procrastination, letting you dodge the guilt of doing nothing at all while convincing yourself you're making progress.
And the worst part is that this so called comfort you are clinging to is not even real comfort. You can only truly know comfort if you are prepared to face discomfort. When you stay forever in that safe zone, you're never at peace with it. Deep down, a strange guilt keeps eating away at you, quietly ruining any chance of real enjoyment, and you end up just grazing the top grass, staring at life without ever fully diving in.

As Henry James put it in A Portrait of a Lady,

"The fact is I’ve been comfortable so many years that I suppose I’ve got so used to it I don’t know it." "Yes, that’s the bore of comfort."

That’s exactly why luck only favors those who choose motion over safety, the ones who finally stop preparing and start moving.

The Church is not quiet. While we prayed, danced and hoped, we equally took it to the street to voice out our frustration to the highest insecurity, injustice and corruption in our Nation.

Movement creates opportunities.

Execute oo.
Go and do that thing.

The longer you postpone building the life you want, the greater your tolerance grows for a life you don't want.

Mental health is great, and all. However, I strongly recommend, at least once, you obsessively pursuing a goal with a divine madness to see just great you can be

Tolerating always turns to resentment. At first, you call it patience, then love. But what it really is, is self-abandonment. Every time you swallow a boundary, excuse a pattern or silence your discomfort, something inside you keeps score. Likes And eventually, the bill comes due.

A cheat code for peace: Assume it’s not about you. Someone’s tone. Their mood. Their short reply. Feels like it’s aimed at you. 99% of the time, it’s not. Sometimes people are just busy. Sometimes they’re off. If you take everything personally, you’ll spend your life exhausted.

[E-go @EgoDriv]

If you’re a hyperactive, high agency type of guy, the only path where you don’t go insane is entrepreneurship. It’s the only life that will stimulate you enough and put you in different situations and problems that actually make your brain function. The more you try to tame that energy the less you will feel alive. Some of us were made for complexity and ambiguity. The safe path is the most dangerous one. You know deep down you’re made for something different. Business is what gives you that. Avoid traditional jobs at all costs. Of course the price is high stress, uncertainty and lots of ups and downs… but let’s be honest, would you have it any other way? No. It’s too boring.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

I’m going to propose that you develop an uncanny ability to be selectively ignorant. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is also practical. It is imperative that you learn to ignore or redirect all information and interruptions that are irrelevant, unimportant, or unactionable. Most are all three.

Lifestyle design is based on massive action—output. Increased output necessitates decreased input.

Most information is time-consuming, negative, irrelevant to your goals, and outside of your influence.

Low-agency people are embarrassed by exposure: being seen trying and failing, being seen as incompetent, being seen as different.

High-agency people are embarrassed by waste: wasting their potential, wasting opportunities, wasting time performing competence instead of building it.

You can't dream beyond your level of exposure, that's what travelling and reading more gives you.
