I thought it strange - my parents never really gave me advice growing up. Nothing about career, finance, romance, even small things like what to read or how to dress. It was as if they felt it was not their place. What I learned since is that this is absurdly common

my version 🤭

If I could give you one success life hack. And trust me. I literally have a hyperbaric healing chamber in my house. I take life hacks seriously. If I could give you one tho. It'd be this. Grab a bunch of epic fantasy books as thick as your head. Replace all your TV and social media time reading them. Your brain will slowly start to work again. The focus from reading the thick ass wordy books will slowly put it back together. Sanderson. Abercrombie. Gaimman. Pierce Brown. Great places to start. Replacing this as your main time wasting hobby will give you absolutely crazy returns when it comes to actually making money. The focus you gain will make you lethal.

2. How to Train Your Intuitive Radar Like any elite skill, instinct requires intentional training to distinguish it from mere "anxiety" or "wishful thinking." Practice "Micro-Calibration": Throughout the day, ask your gut for an opinion on low-stakes decisions. “Should I take this route home?” or “Which of these two emails should I open first?” Don’t think; just act on the first physical "pull." Over time, this builds the bridge between your subconscious and your conscious action. Post-Game Analysis: When a "gut feeling" turns out to be right (or wrong), don't just move on. Analyze the physical sensation you felt in that moment. Was it a "heavy" no or a "sharp" no? By cataloging the physical texture of your successes, you create a personalized "Internal Map" for future high-stakes situations. Clear the Static: You cannot hear a whisper in a thunderstorm. If you are chronically stressed, your "Fear" signal is always on, which creates "False Positives." Training your gut requires periods of absolute silence, no phone, no music, no input; to let the "signal-to-noise ratio" reset.

I had an open mind about the Catholic exorcist Chad Ripperger until he sat down with Tucker Carlson without feeling even the slightest inkling that maybe something is going on there. Just another fraud and more stupid spectacle, if not a psyop.

Action produces information.

What people don't tell you: At the highest levels...discipline is the exception, not the rule.

The trickiest part about FEELING your feelings is that it's a complete non-doing It runs completely counter intuitive to how our EGO usually tries to "achieve" an outcome You simply have to stop trying or doing anything You have to see that all of your trying is actually resistance to truly FEELING the somatic density in your body An analogy I like to use with clients: (Because there's no inner peace & presence without processing first) Imagine you're in a sauna and you realize the door is locked *and it's really bloody hot* The heat here represents the sensation/emotion/feeling You try to find a way out frantically You start to test the walls, the ceiling, you push on the door Nothing works...and the more you struggle..the hotter and more uncomfortable the sauna becomes (The struggle = going into your to try to think away the feeling - which is pure avoidance 99% of randomly occurring thoughts arise because of not being willing to FEEL something) Eventually...exhausted and extremely uncomfortable... You give up You sit down "defeated" You fully accept the reality of this moment And you notice something...the sauna starts to cool down You get excited, get up to feel the door..and the heat spikes again... So you sit down and do nothing And the temperature starts going down So you give up You notice how you try to make even giving up into a "doing" Something to be achieved And the moment you do the temperature starts spiking again Eventually you just truly surrender The temperature goes way down and you hear a *click* The door opens And you walk out having gone through quite the experience... But all the stronger, wiser & more compassionate for it You go on to have one of the best days of your life as you feel this incredible sense of freedom and ease That calm presence That gentle joy That sense of lived wholeness These are the rewards for having the courage to stop holding back And start letting everything move through you That's the only difference between a self-mastered man And a man who lives in complete misery

one big difference between the most empowered people I know vs the least empowered people is that the latter category does a lot of "statistical thinking" i.e. "the odds aren't good for that, most businesses fail, you'd have to be incredibly lucky"

If your girl isn't acting like this around you 24/7 it’s over

Habits so simple you think they’re not worth doing, but have a profound impact on your life: - Not touching your phone when you wake up - Not thinking about work after work is done - Putting a book down once you find an idea worth thinking about - Setting aside time to do nothing for 10 minutes a day - Going on a short walk after each meal - Eating a meal without a screen in front of you - Saying "I don't know" instead of pretending you do - Asking "What if this isn't actually a problem?" before trying to solve it - Letting yourself be bad at something instead of expecting perfection - Trying to understand something you disagree with instead of looking for flaws - Defaulting to "no" until you think through the commitment

WHY IS IT SO COMICALLY DARK AND BLUE?????

the contrast is insane

If I didn’t jerk off, my wife would have complete control over me.
