@alexeixbt “Take every thought captive.” an old sacred biblical request. This was the metacognition lecture in sandals…Hard to take something
captive if you still think it’s you.

You have to become the watcher at the gates of your mind.

@T_Gofficial01 Learning to return when you drift. There’s something holy about that, returning to your purpose or God’s path for you no matter the detour.

@CEOLandshark Once you leave a deep enough mark on reality, people start carrying pieces of you without realizing it. Real influence is deeper than credit.

Some people will deny the tree and still carry its fruit in their bones.

[CM MD @ventsmd]

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

There’s a pattern all through Scripture: revelation keeps happening after descent.

Jacob in the dirt, Elijah in the cave etc etc

Sometimes rock bottom becomes holy ground because it reminds you of the true throne and who sits on it.

Scripture never says to pitch a tent in the valley.

“Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…”

The wilderness may teach you. The furnace may refine you, neither are meant to become home. God has a strange habit of meeting people in places He never intended them to stay.

@AugustusDelano “Not by works, so that no one can boast.”

You still take the steps. You still put in the reps. Participate fully then loosen your hand on the result.

Walk faithfully enough and one day you look up and realize God carried you farther than you remember walking.

Recently I read “stupidity punishes the intelligent” , this is the basis of why intellectuals seclude themselves.

The final form of intelligence however may be learning how to turn it off and enjoy the mundane , learning how to enjoy to the “stupid”. This opens the door for life to be enjoyed in totality and the aim of intellect should be to create a life worth living.

@Naturalphilosy From Glory to Glory. Consistent upward struggle

@pingu4ll Some of the oldest most powerful spirits are not always conventionally positive

[CM MD @ventsmd]

@treeonchain The next step of this is learning how to find/pull knowledge even from the foolish. Then you continue to be amazed and enjoy life daily.

There’s a lot of foolishness to learn from.

[CM MD @ventsmd]

Embarrassment is one of the very baseline prices of admission into the halls of greatness.
Noah built the ark before the rain fell and everyone around him thought he may have been missing a few screws .

Then the rain came and that embarrassment paid him …if you risk looking foolish for long enough , eventually it will pay you.

You will become the evidence that paves the way for others

Scripture is full of people who loved God enough to argue with Him.

Jacob wrestled until dawn and left with a limp and a new name. Job demanded answers. David wrote entire Psalms that basically begin with “where are You?”.

Wrestling with God is one of the deepest forms of faith because you got close enough to God for him to touch you.

[CM MD @ventsmd]

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

You’re given raw material, but then comes stewardship. Christ’s parable of the talents is basically a warning against burying what you were entrusted with.

Maybe genius is less “giftedness” than what happens when someone refuses to leave the gift buried.

[CM MD @ventsmd]

Scripture even warns about the wide road for a reason.

At some point you have to develop a little disgust for the version of yourself that would be perfectly acceptable to everyone because that version is semi interchangeable with everyone else.

Average is rarely chosen consciously. It’s what happens when you inherit the ideals of your environment with no infusion of your inner self.

[CM MD @ventsmd]

@tailopez A lot of ambition is insecurity that learned how to work, a lot of discipline is fear that found a more ideal form/structure.

A lot of our best qualities started somewhere messy. The point isn’t to become psychologically spotless but to know the machinery well enough to use it

[CM MD @ventsmd]

@cperezauthor Set a standard. Continuously raise the standard. Process and standard are everything.

[CM MD @ventsmd]

Competence bleeds.

Get genuinely good at one difficult thing and you start carrying pieces of it everywhere else—patience, feel, preparation, calm, an eye for small errors.

Domains look separate from the outside. Get deep enough and you start seeing the same web underneath them.

Place enough clean IJs and eventually floating a Swan feels less like a new world and more like the next room.

[CM MD @ventsmd]

@cperezauthor If everything is my fault and thus my responsibility…everything becomes my opportunity!

A tremendous blessing.
