You do realize that life is short right?

You do understand that you do not have that much time.

You could die tomorrow.

And if that happens?

Would you be proud of yourself?

Are you ready to leave?

No?

Then you fucking need to change that.

You need to start enjoying every second of your life while building for a successful future.

You do not have time to spiral down.

Tomorrow is not guaranteed.

You need to make the best out of life TODAY.

Because that’s all you got.

Most people are either obsessively worried about the future

Or painfully stuck in the past.

But none of those things exist.

Think about it:

If you focus on the now, and make every moment count:

Both the past and the future and secured.

Obsess of the NOW.

That’s all you have.

When you make a choice, don't hesitate.

Don't look back.

Make the choice, take responsibility of the consequences.

That's it.

Hesitating is nothing but a waste of time and mental space.

Action matters.

Pick an option.
Make everything for it to work out.

If you are going to cut ties with someone, block them from everywhere.

Don't give yourself the option to go back and fix things with them.

Done. Finished.

Move away, go on with your life.

Burn all the bridges.

You literally just have to decide that your life isn't shit for it to start feeling like a dream.

You think your life is shit because you gave up control of it.

If you simply started acting like everything is under control?

Everything will be exactly that way.

Understand this:

Everything happens as it should.

Worrying, complaining or blaming the world will never fix your shit.

What will fix it is trusting that you have what it takes to turn things around.

Then do whatever it takes to prove yourself right.

Whatever it takes.

Your choices should be based on whether you will be proud of yourself or not.

Having that as the only metric makes life much more enjoyable.

Anything else poisons your life.
Anything else holds you back.

Project yourself in the future and look back at what you're doing now...

Would your future self be proud of it?

Keep doing it.

Would your future self be disappointed?

Stop doing it.

This is the only rule you need to judge your behavior.

Not what people tell you.

By living up to other people's expectations; you forget to live up to your own.

And on your deathbed, all those motherfuckers won't be there.

Live your life for the sole purpose of being good with who you are and who you were before you pass away.

It's simple really.

If your life feels monotonous and boring, there is only one solution.

And it's not self-pity.
And it's not complaining.

Nope, it's not even "having more fun".

The answer is quite simple but most people are unwilling to do it.

Because it's scary.

The only solution is to seek even harder challenges.

It's going for things that make you feel uncomfortable and going for things that you have never done before.

It's picking the counterintuitive choice.

Going against your current tendencies.

It sounds rational and simple.

But when you're stuck in a loop, it does get hard to break out of it.

Yet the only solution to breaking out of it is to be abrupt about it.

Not gradual change.

Because it doesn't last.

The solution is increasing the difficulty not decreasing it.

Because seeking to decrease it is what got you there in the first place.

And that cannot be the solution.

You must take more risks.

No other way around it.

Get excited again.
Get stressed again.

Stimulate your mind so that you can start thinking out of the box again.

Life is way more fun that way.

If you expect people to understand you and "feel your pain", you are a complete idiot.

Because that fixes nothing.

All it will do is give leverage to people over you.

Which can never end well.

At best it gives you a fake sense of comfort.

But it's not real.

Don't seek understanding, nobody can put themselves in your shoes.

Nobody can be you.

All they do is guess and most of the time they'll be wrong.

The only understanding you should seek is your own.

Absolute mastery of yourself.

That's where it's at.

Nobody needs to know or understand.

Fix your shit on your own.
Rely on yourself and no one else.

Seek self-sufficiency.
Strengthen your ego.

Don't depend on people to feel better about yourself.

You'll be standing on an unstable pedestal.

The only person that truly has your back is yourself.

GRAND RISING

REMINDER TO JOIN IO TODAY

I promise this will be the best decision you'll make this week.

WHATEVER YOU DO WILL WORK OUT

The idea that things “might not work out” is an absolute lie and a limiting belief.

Something people will scare you with because THEY are scared of it.

Same people who never do shit.

Same people who will praise “your courage for taking the risk”.

Same people who never achieve anything in their life.

The fears of losers mean jack shit.

The praise of losers mean jack shit.

Whatever you do, do it for yourself.

Do it because you have the utmost belief in your ability to pull it off.

And I’m telling you this from experience.

I’ve stopped failing the moment I stopped considering failure as an option.

And if ever I fail?

Fuck it, we ball.

I’ve learned something.

Onto the next thing.

It seems like we're being flooded with some crypto scam bots.

Do not click any link on the comments or in the group of this channel.

Any link I send will be in a post and NEVER in the group or in the comments of a post.

Please be careful, don't get scammed.

I deeply resent the idea of "No more Mr. Nice Guy"

This type of thinking comes from resentful guys who are nice because they seek approval and want to be validated by everyone around them.

You should be nice.

But for the right reasons.

These guys who preach the "No more Mr. Nice Guy" type of thinking are losers.

All they do is make things worse and create monsters.

Guess what, not being nice to others won't solve your problems either.

The same people who complain about how men never experience kindness.

You shouldn't be nice because you expect the same from others.

You should be nice because that's who you are.

A force of positivity.

Someone who radiates good and spreads it.

Because those should be your standards for yourself.

You should never be nice because you want to live up to people's standards or impress anyone.

You should be nice to impress yourself.

You should be nice to sleep well at night knowing you positively impact the world.

Stop trying to be mean to people.

And if being nice doesn't work out for you, ask yourself the right questions

What is the true motivation behind your behavior?

Is it your own standards or the expectations of others?

You don't need to become an asshole

Don't become an incel.

You are better than this.

Most advice is garbage.
Most advice is useless.

Advice will never replace firsthand experience.

Your fear of failure is what’s holding you back.

Not a lack of direction.
Not a lack of knowledge.

Because both of those are built through fucking things up.

Get in the trenches and sweat.

Go make the most stupid mistakes and handle them like a man.

Go make the worst decisions and learn from their consequences.

You are dying one second at a time.

Unless you decide to make the most of every second you live.

Only then can you say that you’re living life to the fullest.

I’d rather take years to learn than assume I know because I was told so.

And most people?

They won’t get that last line.

Be different.

Every time you hold yourself from saying what you think, you create inner frustration and live with a knot in your stomach.

You feel fake.

The truth is it’s rarely worth it.

When you simply say it as you see it, you clear any confusion and you live aligned with yourself.

There is zero point in pretending.

Is it always a good thing?

No, it will get you in trouble.

Often.

But it will always be better than living a lie.

Few people will appreciate your honesty and straightforwardness.

Most people will feel insulted and threatened by it.

But you’d rather be disliked for saying offensive things than being at war with yourself.

Most don’t have the balls to do this.

But most are not really proud of who they are.

I refuse to lie to accommodate people.

If what comes out of my mouth makes you uncomfortable?

So be it.

But I won’t lie to nurture a fake relationship or preserve your feelings.

There is a fine balance to strike between speaking your mind out and shutting your mouth for your best interest.

It’s hard.

But at the end of the day it’s a matter of character.

If you’re strong enough mentally, you’ll just handle the consequences of what you say.

Everyone judges everyone.

Knowingly or not, it does happen.

Anyone who tells you the opposite is lying.

Expecting people not to judge you is delusional.

Getting mad at them for judging you is childish.

Everyone has the right to have an opinion.

Not that it matters.

People can think whatever the fuck they want of you.

At the end of the day, you only get to experience their actions, not their thoughts.

Don't assume shit.

What people think doesn't matter.

How they behave does.

Only react when boundaries are crossed.

Anything else?

Give zero attention to.

Actions over words.
Actions over assumptions.

Only care about what directly affects you.

And people's opinion does not fall into that category.

Reviews of the Encyclopedia

You either become dangerous or you live in fear for the rest of your life.

Develop your ability to inflict damage.

You have to be capable of violence not to bully innocent people but to protect yourself from bullies.

Most of the time, you won't need to use it.

But when you do need it?

You'd better be capable of it.

This is not an invitation to become violent.

This is an invitation to get stronger.

Physically. Mentally. Financially.

You need to be able to not only get back up from any hit life may send your way.

But also be able to dissuade whoever wants to take what's yours.

And you can't do that if you can't defend yourself.

Get dangerous.
Stay dangerous.

Don't let anyone fuck with you.

You can rely on either hope or hard work.

Hope is random, it keeps you on the edge

Never knowing if it will ever come.

Hard work is certain, it keeps you sharp.

When it doesn’t pay you know you’re simply doing it wrong.

And you learn.

But hoping teaches nothing.

Brings nothing.

You CAN rely on hope.

But it doesn’t mean it will pay off.

But hard work?

Even if it fails…

It still toughens you up.

So if you’re a rational mind:

Hard work is the only answer.

Most of your problems will disappear if you simply do more.

Life makes sense and takes all its meaning when you have a purpose and a vision.

A clear direction.

Every move must be intentional.
Every move must mean something.
Every move must make sense.

A goalless life is worth nothing.

Even if you’re exceeding other people’s standards.

Do it for yourself.

Define your own path.

Have a crystal clear vision.

Not a vague idea.

If your vision isn’t clear enough, you will lose yourself in the redundant tasks.

You will hate everything you do.

If your vision is absolutely clear?

You will love each and every iteration.

You need to know WHY you’re putting in your reps.

You need to SEE it and VISUALIZE it.

You need to know deep down in your heart the real meaning of each iteration and repetition.

It needs to be fulfilling not boring.

You find purpose by choosing where you want to be in the future.

That is the only way to enjoy anything.

Navigate life blindly and you’ll soon find yourself hating each and every breath you take.

It will feel dull.

Don’t do that to yourself.

Find what you truly desire.

Make a step by step plan.

Be ready for surprises.

Then take on life head on.

Full speed.
No brakes.

Intense adrenaline.

You’ll every “boring” moment of it.

And every time doubt creeps in?

Remember where you’re going.

Then get off your ass and start moving the needle.

Everything you do must build up the vision you built in your mind.

That’s the whole game.

Most people do not care about being confident.

They care about appearing self-confident and that's where they get it wrong.

Projecting self-confidence is easy, that's why many fall into arrogance and can't back up their claims.

Real confidence is how you feel about yourself.

It has nothing to do with how you're perceived.

Because someone that truly values themselves and is confident in themselves does not care about how they appear or the vibe they give off.

They just do shit because they feel like they can. It's about proving something to yourself.

That's what's called authenticity and it's usually admirable.

If you fake confidence instead of building it, all you get is the exact opposite of what you're seeking.

Do the inner work, forget about the external world.

Downplaying yourself won’t end well.

You won’t pursue your potential if you tell everyone that you’re not as good as people may think.

And you will believe it.

The truth is you’re capable of much more than you allow yourself to think.

Unless you intentionally want to fool people?

Don’t downplay yourself.

You’re putting imaginary obstacles in your own way.

You’re being your own enemy.

Never do that to yourself.

Take pride in your abilities.
Embrace what you’re good at.

Ego is not the enemy.

Limiting beliefs are.
