@lilyraynyc@ahrefs seen a lot of AI agents lately specifically designed to spam Reddit/twitter.. Reddit got such high rankings in the 1st place bc it offered real non-content farm perspective. If that’s not the case anymore I can see why they dropped. Maybe these subs were heavily spammed?
Life unfolds as a story with an intro, conflict, main battle etc
You’re in a low point in life? Reframe it as being in the climax of the movie; the conflict & battle
Don’t wish for a more boring movie. Be excited bc the choices you make rn determine the kind of movie it’ll be.
@itsdangoldfield Such a comforting truth that if you just put the work into figuring out your mission/purpose, everything else falls in line. It’s been an iterative process for me but so worth it for the clarity of mind.. this + keeping promises to myself = true confidence
@theemattdavis Related shower thought:
Am I focusing on avoiding the negative more than I am focused on attracting the positive?

If you are doing what you’re passionate about but feel depressed
..it’s because you are doing it alone.
If you have a tribe and still feel depressed, it’s because that tribe is not doing what you’re passionate about.
3 mantras I try to live by:
-Discipline over motivation. If you only do stuff when motivated, you are fucked
-Mood follows action. You feel better after doing it and worse if you don’t
-Hard is better than easy. Life is supposed to be hard. Run from comfort, embrace the suck.
