While you search for 'your purpose' or 'God's path for you', his actual path for you is right in front of your fucking face. It's the massive obvious thing right in front of you. it is always VERY simple, and VERY obvious. So obvious that i can almost guarantee that you're 'looking past it'. You are too "mind", when you need to let go of the LOOKING or SEARCHING, and simply pay attention to what's right in front of you HERE and NOW, you find it. The obviousness of it should relax you. As you look far away, God has placed your "gold" right below your nose, & right in the palm of your hand. And it's now on you to do something with it - the obvious something that you know you need to do with it.
If it is CONFUSING, you're 'looking past it'. If it feels very simple & obvious because it's the obvious thing sitting right in front of you, then boom - can be sure you're pretty aligned. But the stuff in front of you isn't the 'this is what they want from me' OBEDIENT/GOOD LITTLE BOY actions, it's the voice that is 1 level deeper, that is telling you what you KNOW you should do with this stuff right in front of you. It is the rebellious-honoring-yourself action. It's making the thing what *you* want to make it. What is true for you. It's right in front of you - you just need to go deeper.
Now - If you are uncertain, your natural inclination will be to seek external authority/confirmation to CONFIRM this 'knowing' of what you should do with whats right in front of you - with someone ELSE before you take that action. "is it okay to bend it like THIS?". But this is you outsourcing YOUR own authority. Or put differently, it is you outsourcing God's authority THROUGH YOU, to another man. But you are also man, and the divine works through you just as much as it does anyone else. Except when it comes to your own life, YOU are the only one that has full context. Everyone else is either guessing or prescribing. Let go of their authority for you, and begin to claim your own
"Yep, i see this thing right in front of me. This situation that I am in now. Now - what do I want to do with it?"
Then go
Flow state can only come when you submit to the universes plans. You gotta have faith that life is always moving in a way that best suits you. God makes no mistakes so start moving like that. You ain’t got shit to fear bro
specialization is just a comfortable lie, if you're smart you can become good at anything. if you are really good at once thing, becoming good at a second is super easy
i changed my mind slightly on this though, you also have to be excited and get happiness from the new thing
dont be confident, be over confident. be delusionally confident. be so confident that doors open for you and reality bends for you. be sure that GOD walks beside you. The meek inherit nothing if they never believed they were worthy of more. be too much. be impossible to ignore.
Avoid people with zero-sum energy like the plaque, even if they are brilliant. They will eat your lunch as you try to help make theirs.
On the other hand, if you can put together a team where everyone has positive-sum energy, then you will soon bathe in abundance.
After decades the difference between a laptop and smartphone really is still there.
Whenever I sit at my computer it still truly feels like a device designed to help me think.
Entropy is always chasing you as a man, always hunting you, every moment your eyesight degrades; your spine slowly gets more brittle throughout the course of your life and you are only successful when you have clearly managed to outrun entropy at every level through taking ruthless action and building control over your own life in every manner possible.
Time will not wait for you so you have to make it your focus to adapt quicker than the world can punish you. As men we have a never ending burden of performance so if you want to truly get to a position where you want the highest prizes you need to delete the idea of rest from your mind and get used to the soul crushing pressure constant work is when you first begin; much to consider, much to think about; more variables to compute.
That cognitive strain is the front loading process you need to undertake to get to a better future. I do not believe in balance at all for any fucking reason. I would rather work on one thing for 12 hours a day for a year and make 5 years worth of progress than split my efforts amongst a bunch of lower hanging fruit.
The more you try to focus on the slower you are going to progress on average. Anyone who built anything spectactular put an ungodly amount of effort into ACTUALISING THAT ONE SINGULAR VISION AND PICTURE THEY HELD IN THEIR MIND.
They didnt get distracted by all the new shiny objects, by tiktok, by new women feeling their motion at a different calibre, they stayed their own source of reward and motivation, pushed away all the noise and continued building.
I really believe that the number is close to 100% of people who could achieve something very impressive if they were just willing to deeply sacrifice and cut out everything that was not resonant with the mission. Entropy is always chasing you, adapt quicker and more violently than the world can punish you.
The minute I become too frugal or money-conscious is the moment it starts to control me and becomes difficult to make. When I spend almost carelessly, it seems to find its way back. Money-induced stress narrows the mind and new opportunities become invisible.
Polymaths will dominate the next 5 years, but only if they practice the skill of knowing what to ignore. You can learn and do anything now, meaning that it will become increasingly rare for a person to put time, attention, and care into one thing.
