Every man needs a cash flow machine, an asymmetric upside bet and a passion project that all ultimately funnel into the master vision
If what you’re working on hits all three, even better
People act like working hard and being disciplined is hard.
ROOKIES at life.
Discipline is easy, success is easy. You just have to beat laziness and that’s it.
Have you ever had a loved one die, or had to let go of someone you loved with all your heart in order to respect yourself? That’s hard.
Rookies.
before you have money, you want:
- lamborghini's
- skyline penthouses
- flying private all the time
- celebrity level clout
- beautiful women in your DMs
- designer brands
- yacht parties
then you get money and all you want is:
- 8 hours of sleep
- turning on greyscale and DND
- privacy and peace
- weekend trip in the mountains
- business that runs without you (more peace)
- s tier health
- a loyal woman who'd kill for you
- good friends aligned with the mission
you just need balls.
that's it.
around the time when Caesar was finishing up his studies, a King in Asia attacked some of Rome's allies in a far away region.
now at this point Caesar holds NO position in the military, this foreign attack doesn't personally affect him, nor does he really have any legal right to get involved.
he's just some random kid.
however, what he DOES want is wealth, influence, and glory, and he sees this situation as the perfect vehicle to allow for that.
he instantly sails to the location, puts together a small force of soldiers from the region, and BEATS the foreign forces, freeing the area.
his lack of authority was made up for 10x by his confidence, charisma, and willingness to take risks.
because of this aura, all these city states just got in line and gave him troops and resources.
bravery, audacity, and recklessness.
ALWAYS willing to gamble.
ESPECIALLY when you have no idea what you're doing.
study having balls.
To burn out is better than to fade away. Better to be consumed by passion than by regret.
Apply yourself. Commit fully. Leave little of your potential unexplored.
Not every pursuit will succeed, but few things are more tragic than a life spent wondering what might have been.
Here's a pattern you'll notice over and over:
Right before you level up, Everything get harder at the exact moment you were hoping it'd get easier.
That's not bad luck.
That's the test.
The universe quietly asking how bad you want it.
The isn't a wall.
It's the last gate.
My life got a lot better when I started viewing everything as rigged in my favor. Tragedy. Heartbreak. Victory. Risk. Devastation. Euphoria. Uncertainty. No matter what happened, I operated with a foundational belief that I would be fine either way. And magically, I was, once I started believe so.
You ever been through a situation so fucking life-shattering that you get VIOLENTLY EJECTED from anxious attachment straight into full avoidant mode and now you're a stoner autistic gremlin who ghosts everyone, hyperfixates on your playlists and houseplants, hits the pen every time your phone buzzes, and tells yourself "I just need space" while building an emotional fortress made of weighted blankets and conspiracy documentaries?
THERE IS NO PEACE FOR THE MAN WHO HAS SEEN WHAT HE COULD BECOME.
this is both a blessing and a curse. once you realise your potential? you can no longer rest.
you can no longer live like everyone else around you. care free. not a worry about the future. not a worry about their wasted potential.
the voice in your head constantly repeating "you need to do more" haunts you all day long.
you can try and run away from it all you want, but it will always be there.
the blessing?
you will have to listen.
at some point the voice will get so extreme, that even the distractions will no longer decrease the volume.
the pain of listening to the voice starts to hurt more than the pain of leaving your old life behind.
and so, your only option becomes clear.
become what you see. you're clearly meant for more. not everyone has these thoughts. be grateful for them.
it will be a long process. extremely hard at times. frustration will hit and you will just want to quit.
but beauty is found in it.
the voice vanishes. you can finally sleep at night. fulfilled. knowing you're reaching your potential.
and once you make it, you will be so glad that the thought was planted in your head that day.
"let the young man in his desperation go out and hunt. if he kills the elephant, his poverty ends. if the elephant kills him, his poverty ends."
please stop running.
persist.
You can literally come back from anything. Lost everything, hit rock bottom, made the worst decisions, burned every bridge does not matter.
People have rebuilt from things far worse than what you are carrying right now and went on to build something better than what they lost.
The only variable that actually decides whether you recover is the decision to.
No special talent required. No perfect circumstances needed.
Just the choice, made quietly in a hard moment, to keep going.
That choice is always available to you.
You ever meet someone so charismatic and funny they don’t even need to know anything about all of the little psychology rules? They just have an intuitive sense of what everyone needs to hear. Confident & proud yet also somehow shy & humble, when the time calls for it. An effortless existence. You could be like this too if you let go of fear!
Magnetic ppl that aren’t annoying always have an open solar plexus chakra. Even if their other chakras are suffering this is the one that makes someone magnetic, warm, stable, cool and real (because they’re getting their own lifeforce energy from Source instead of siphoning it from others or letting themselves be siphoned). The type of person that everyone can think of, normies and non-normies alike, and be like “yeah i like that person.. they’re so cool and smart and fun” or “ugh i feel secretly threatened bc i’m jealous of their stable vibrant magnetic vibes”
Luck = alignment
When you experience inconceivable luck it is because you are stepping into the role that was meant for you
It was actually a 100% odds, as long as you took the right steps toward
Never reward inconsistency with continued access. If someone shows up when it benefits them and disappears when it doesn’t, do not compensate with understanding. You don’t correct unreliable behavior with patience. You correct it by making access conditional.
Most people won't support you at the start.
They wait for proof.
For momentum.
For applause.
For others to believe first.
If you want to build anything great, you have to master the skill of cheering for yourself.
Because by the time the world sees the vision you saw, you already have made it a reality.
You have life. You have music. You have nature. You have your lungs. You have your heartbeat. You have your smile. You have a roof over your head. You have people who love you. You have hard-earned wisdom. You have people you inspire. You have growth to be proud of. You have sunlight. You have the chance to try again. You have a beautiful future. You have time.
Get to it.
Let go of your edge. Unfollow your own nature. Let your self image be dependent on what other people. Eat whatever you want. Be at the whims of your mind because you only live once. Do not pray, nor devote a certain part of your day to God. Worship celebrities, influencers, your political and philosophical takes should come from them because they are in touch with ground level reality. The moment you get money, spend on things that can impress others. Don't buy land, don't buy equity. Always trust the "experts" of any organisation, because they never have their own agendas. Follow all the rules, never break them.
Some men have that killer instinct, they have that glow behind their eyes that only comes from a spirit brimming with aggression and vitality, some men have an appetite for war and some men engage in war as a means to an end, the man who enjoys competing will always dominate the psychological and actual landscapes of whatever he is doing, some men enjoy the ups and downs of pursuit as they're hellbent on aggressive expression, you need to love being a competitor above all else and strive to put more tools in your own armoury with the things you overcome and conquer, this is the way 🥂
