Not sure who needs this today - but evil people exist in the world and that’s that.
Distance yourself, move on and stop caring.
There is no chance you can avoid encounters with them.
Take it as just a normal part of life and don’t waste one second trying to figure out why they are the way they are.

Things the recovery industry will not tell you:
1. The drug worked. That is why people use it. Not weakness. Not moral failure.
A neurological event so complete and persuasive that any honest account of addiction has to start there.
The problem is not that the drug fails. The problem is that what it does is unrepeatable, and you will burn your entire life to the ground trying to get back to a place that no longer exists.
2. Shame is not guilt. Guilt says I did something bad. Shame says I am something bad. Guilt is appropriate. Shame is a cell with no windows. Most people use the words interchangeably. That mistake is lethal.
3. You cannot shame someone who has already named the thing you are holding over them. Say it first. Say it in plain light. The weapon drops.
4. Guilt can coexist with self-respect. Shame cannot. You can hold the damage and the dignity at the same time. I know because I live there.
5. Radical honesty does not give you back who you were. It hands you the clean slate of who you always wanted to be. The mask comes off. The cartoon other people drew of you stays on the page.
6. Nobody gets clean on a winning streak.
7. You have to be almost self-delusional in your forgiveness of yourself. (Go watch Chase Hughes)
8. The greatest sin was not the chaos. It was the absence. Being unavailable to the people who needed you.
9. Sustainable recovery starts with one thing: honesty with yourself. If you love an addict and want to help, that is the only door in.
10. I am only an expert on my recovery. Nobody is an expert on anyone else’s.
Women and children are emotion-led.
Men are rational.
To emasculate men: feminise them.
Tear away their rationality and make them emotional. Turn them into eternal adolescents.
The two pillars of this transformation: porn and video games.
The system doesn’t want focused men.
It needs them distracted. Overstimulated. Emotionally reactive.
A man who can’t focus is easy to control.
That’s why so many are trapped in the same cycle: porn, video games, dopamine, repeat.
Porn kills ambition. Video games replace real achievement with artificial progression.
A grown man with the mindset of a permanent teenager.
Consumerism isn’t just about buying products. It’s about consuming identities instead of building one.
The system doesn’t need chains anymore. It just needs distractions.
ICE COLD FACT 💎 ‘Life is like the Gym.. Look one way, there’s always someone in better shape than you.. Look the other way, there’s someone who would die to be in Your shape…. You just gotta be the Best YOU. ‘
“When riches begin to come they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that one wonders where they have been hiding during all those lean years.”
— Napoleon Hill
Here’s exactly why this happens – straight from Think and Grow Rich. 🧵
God will literally sit you down and break you to humble you, then will isolate you to build you. Then God will give you back everything far beyond what you lost to prove to you God is real and that everything is for a reason. Keep your trust in God.

Walk after meals.
Walk when you’re bored.
Walk when you’re stressed.
Walk between your sets.
Walk in the morning.
Walk at night.
Walking is the most underrated exercise on the planet. Get out and get moving.
I know a dentist who opened a brand new practice with zero patients.
No referrals. No reputation. Nothing.
Across the street from his office sat two apartment complexes.
600 units in one. 400 in the other.
He walked into both leasing offices and introduced himself.
Every single person working there became a free patient of his.
Free cleanings. Free whitening.
He did it on purpose.
Those leasing office workers talk to every new resident that moves in.
They became his referral network without him ever having to ask.
Every time someone new moved into either complex, they got a free toothbrush, free toothpaste, and a handwritten card from him.
He also went door-to-door through both buildings.
Kept a spreadsheet of every door he knocked on.
12 months later he has 350 Google reviews almost entirely from those two complexes.
He is sitting right at his goal of 1,500 reocurring patients.
His SEO is now strong enough that Google replaces any churn on its own.
He never has to market again if he does not want to.
He spent 12 months doing the thing most business owners are too proud to do.
He went and got the patients himself.
