Nobody watches you harder than the people who know they did you dirty

@creation247 Atheism ends at this life. Christianity gives purpose, legacy, and eternity.

@creation247 When you hold back from giving good feedback, you care more about what the person thinks about you than actually helping and serving them. Same applies to sales, coaching, anything really.

Every time I give feedback online, I’m ruthless. I learned early on: great artists and musicians get harsh feedback from their teachers. To make them better. The audience already holds you to a standard. Why wouldn’t you hold yourself to the same one?

@Cernovich Smartest people I know are prob @MichaelGuimarin and @Cernovich ….y’all see blind spots and recognize things most people don’t.

Our smartest people are still scary smart but they aren’t professors or in politics. They work in finance or software. A smart private equity guy is SMART. Before fiat went crazy, they’d be in chemical engineering. Jane Street quants would be working on the manhattan project.

@AdamLaneSmith If you’ve lived in chaos long enough, stability can feel unfamiliar. Sometimes you gotta remind yourself it’s ok to live without constant chaos.

If you grew up walking on eggshells, stability will feel boring at first.

Which way Western man?

The key to not falling into codependency is God-centered dependence Being anchored in God, so I can love you without needing to control or be completed by you

The closer you get to the light, the more clearly you see the darkness

People value loss twice as much as they value gain.

@JoelOsteen David was anointed King but there was a period between his anointing and appointing. The appointing comes when the valley is done with changing your heart to be more like God’s. Praise God in the valley, because the mountain top is coming!

You can be anointed but not appointed. Don’t try to take matters into your own hands. Trust God’s timing. Let Him do it His way. When we think we’re falling behind, it’s easy to get impatient and try to force things to happen. But God knows how to make up for lost time.

When you don’t challenge prospects or ask the tough questions, you care more about what the person thinks about you and being liked, than you do about actually helping and serving them.

@MichaelGuimarin Health insurance is our biggest expense. Not to mention that if you make more money than expected, you gotta pay back more at end of year back to the government during tax time.

Running the math on this is insane. Here’s the math, slightly adjusted for my wife and me, who were married at 26 instead of 25 but this is roughly accurate. We spend $0 most years on healthcare because we eat well and exercise. Here’s a real-world case study: • Started at age 25 paying $1,000/month in premiums • By age 30 it was $2,000/month • Today at age 38–39 (with 4 kids) it’s $4,000/month That’s roughly 10% annual growth in premiums over 13+ years. The Alternative Plan (“Forced Savings”): • Invest the full premium amount every year in the S&P 500 at 6% • Keep actual healthcare spending very low: $1,000/year base (inflating 4%) + 4 home births at $6k each • From age 45 onward: Take a 2% annual distribution to cover healthcare + living expenses The Results: • Age 39 (today): $464,000 • Age 45: $1.07 million • Age 55: $3.17 million • Age 65: $7.97 million At 65 the 2% distribution would be ~$160,000 per year — and growing. This family would have a nearly $8 million nest egg while still covering real medical needs through low utilization + smart investing. For the record the 6% number is the most important. I used the historical rate, but what if we’d used the actual rate? Using Actual 13.87% S&P 500 Return (Past Period) • Age 25 to 39 (your real 14-year timeline): Monthly investments into the actual S&P 500 at 13.87% annualized total return (with dividends reinvested) while premiums grew at your observed 10% rate would have built the account to approximately $880,000 – $950,000 today (after low medical costs and the 4 home births). • Future projection (age 39 to 65) at conservative 6% annual return: • Age 45: ~$1.8 million • Age 55: ~$5.5 million • Age 65: ~$14.2 million • At age 65 the 2% annual distribution would be approximately $284,000 per year.

We pay almost double for marketplace insurance than our mortgage costs. It went up by about 65% this year for us as well and we had to switch plans.

@ZubyMusic “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and by craving it, some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” 1 Timothy 6:10 Money doesnt corrupt people, it’s the love of money that does.

I've found people who hate billionaires to be more greedy and materialistic than actual billionaires.

@ZubyMusic “For the Scripture says: Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain, , and, “The worker is worthy of his wages.”” 1 Timothy 5:18

Today I learned that I'm not a real Christian because I live in Dubai and have two ads on my podcast. 🙃 God forbid a man earns from his work and takes care of his family. YouTube comments FTW.

@Pastor__West “Therefore, since we also have such a large cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us lay aside every hindrance and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us,” Hebrews 12:1 Be blessed this week!

Dear Lord, Today, I’m on that calm, unbothered energy. Whatever tries to throw me off—keep it far from me. I’m stepping into this week clear-headed, protected, and focused. No weird energy, no setbacks, no distractions—just doors opening, good news landing, and everything working in my favor. I’m expecting an amazing week. In Jesus’ name, Amen 🙏🏽

@creation247 “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”Romans 8:38-39

They can't stop it because they don't understand it, and if they did understand it they would be one of us.
