“Hot take: Showing up is not enough. You can’t just show up to the gym and expect to get gains. You can’t just show up on every platform and expect to grow an audience. You can’t just show up to games and expect to outperform the competition. Outsized returns come from outsized effort.”
“The “Life Force Optimization” Protocol:

Add:
- Grounding

- Quality sleep in complete darkness
- Human connection and physical touch
- Movement that activates your lymphatic system”
“Who/what is the intention in your mind when you go on social media or post on social media? If you’re not able to answer that, your thinking is 100% under someone else’s control.”
“People who are always trying to keep their options open are not just cowards, they’re also profound self-sabotagers. It’s not like you get to your death bed with all your unmade choices still spread out before you. If you refuse to make a decision for long enough, life simply makes it for you. You’re on its program as much as it’s on yours.
Ultimately, what optionality-maxxing behavior is all about is avoiding responsibility. It’s an attempt to avoid bearing the burden and devotion of becoming someone, so you can fantasize about the infinite newness of being “possibly anyone.”
In the refusal of commitment, of devotion, of giving your life and self to some basic structure along which you grow and bear fruit, you become brittle, weak and much more vulnerable to the shifting vicissitudes of the world.
The suffering of devotion is far less - and the rewards far greater - than the wasteland of narcissism you create spending your life in a fantasy about an infinitely possible self.”
That’s all for this week :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
