What u choose (in the specific) actually doesn’t matter at all cuz ur gna be wrong anyway
Young dudes SUPER caught up on “i don’t wanna choose the wrong thing” (i remember being stuck in this too)
But u actually can’t choose the RIGHT thing. It is impossible. Once u realize no matter what u choose is wrong anyway, u realize that the “right” answer is just having the balls to go in the DIRECTION your intuition is telling u to go & that’s it. That’s the secret.
Life is a game of continually managing directionality to the best of ur ability. That is LITERALLY IT.
Always paying attention to “where am i going” & eyes open enough 2 grab all the opportunities that get randomly put in front of u 2 serve that mission.
Specifics are actually very gay & fake. It’s just “do i think this the right direction?”, having balls 2 listen to it, & then figuring it all out on the fly
“All roads lead to rome”. Meaning there are 500 paths u can take 2 get to ur gold. It’s like a plinko. The first 1 actually literally doesnt fucking matter at all cuz u will get there eventually if u just keep moving what YOU FEEL is “forward”.
Once u can detach from the specifics & only focus on directionality u r largely free cuz u realize everything is just a little metaphor to serve the mission/purpose/goal. 1 guy sees “JOB”, i see “pawn for me to use for my agenda”. 1 guy sees “business”, I see “pawn i can use to serve my agenda”.
People get so attached to the specific THINGS and don’t realize they are just PIECES that have pros/cons that u can use to serve your “thing”, whatever your thing is. But u need a fucking thing to be able to take a META STANCE & view everything like a puzzle piece. And for most people their “thing” has to be finding their thing cuz they’ve just done what society wanted from them like good little slaves. Well guess what buddy it’s time to break those fucking shackles. Ur new missions is to find a mission. Very simple: what the fuck do you like to do? What makes ur nips tingle? Now remove shit that stops u from being able to do that. Ez.
cuz in order 4 u 2 enact all of this u need a direction. Otherwise u r completely fucked. And “oh wow how lucky of u” God already gave u the directionality compass that is probably screaming 2 u unless u’ve just squashed the fuck out of it.
Re-ignite it. Feed it some kinder & watch it “grow back” by you obeying it. Dance with it. Test out different types of combustibles. Which 1 catches u the most? Which 1 makes u go “oh shit there was a big flame with that one”. Then follow that shit & see what happens
Where the fuck is your mad scientist mindset? Start running some experiments. Start romanticizing life
You either become extremely technical, getting a PHD at MIT or you become a wild card and develop your social skills, communication skills, attention grabbing skills to the highest level. I believe these are the only ways to truly win in the age of AI. There is no middle ground
I guess there are so many philosophies to success like Alex Hormozi says one thing and Owen Cook says another. But you just gotta subscribe to one philosophy and run with it without looking back.
My life is a roller coaster of different arcs: Surviving China’s homogenized indoctrination —> Moving to Canada picking up a new language and a new mentality —> Trying to a tech founder during uni —> Becoming a pickup artist and club promoter —> Taking a Chinese job in China —>
Currently residing in China after 8 years of living in the West. I feel an invisible negative energy pull from different directions. People look apathetic af everywhere
