WEEKLY MEDITATION
Asking someone how to find your passion is like asking them for your password. Only YOU know that.
Stop asking the world what you already know deep down.
God gave you a dream, an inherent skill set, that lays latent within you. It’s dormant until you choose to ignite it.
I believe everyone already knows what their passion is, they just don’t know how to “rationalize” it in modern society.
Our culture has convinced everyone that you have to monetize your passion, which is fine, since money is just an exchange of energy. But this is the wrong starting point.
Start from the frame of “how can I provide value to world?” rather than “how can I make money from this?”
If you do this, the money will come naturally.
So how do you know what your passion is?
Think back to what pulled you in as a child. Children are closest to God because they act without judgment. They live in the present. They follow their hearts.
If you loved Lego, architecture might be your calling. If you loved drawing, maybe it’s design or animation. If you were obsessed with animals, maybe it’s biology or training or conservation. If you were always building worlds in your imagination, maybe you’re meant to write or create. If you were the kid fixing gadgets, maybe engineering is your path.
The signs were always there.
So stop asking the world who you should be. Start asking God.
And remember: God is within you.

VRILL INSIGHTS
CHOOSE TO BE ALIVE
You have to have delusional self-belief. You need to retardmaxx. You need to take the leap of faith.
The fear of death is what is fundamentally holding you back. The root cause is always the fear of death.
You have one life. You have one opportunity at this game. If you were playing yourself as a character in a video game, you'd play him differently. You wouldn't play it safe. You’d play to win.
Why don't you?
Because you are running outdated software. We are wired to play the game in a way that increases our chances of survival and reproduction. But the game we now play is not the same game our wiring was built for. Your internal controller has one button: 'Avoid Danger.'
Comfort. The path of least resistance. The matrix. We are programmed to take it. But this biological programming, the anxiety, the fear, the need to fit in; is not you. It is just the survival instinct of an animal that doesn't know it has a soul.
You need to upgrade the operating system.
We are told that Love is the highest virtue. But Love is not a feeling; Love is a standard. And the highest form of Love is Sacrifice. God literally sacrificed his Son for the rest of his children. Why? To show that the Truth is more important than the body. To show that the Spirit is stronger than the flesh.
If you truly act out of Love, you must stand firm in your principles. You must be ethically consistent and morally strong. The ultimate goal is to stand so firm in your convictions that you would die for them.
Look at Socrates. Look at Jesus. They were free. They embodied the state of zero fear. They could be exactly who they were meant to be, their pure, authentic expression, because they had already accepted death.
When you fear death, you are guided by evolutionary programming, cortisol, and anxiety. You are a slave to your biology. When you accept death, you are guided by God.
This is the only way to override the code. The fear of death manifests in everything, even the smallest decisions.
You don't speak up in the meeting? Fear of ostracization (Death). You don't defend the weak? Fear of conflict (Death). You lie to keep the peace? Fear of rejection (Death).
When you kill the fear, you stop degenerating. You stop letting your friends, your family, and your community slide into darkness. You stand up against evil wherever it manifests, however small. Evil reveals itself only to those willing to see it, and it thrives when good men are too polite to speak.
Imagine your society devolves into tyranny. Would you stand up? Most wouldn't. Instead they specialize, keep their heads down, and survive.
But you were not made to merely survive. So, start figuring out what you would die for, and then apply that ferocity to how you live.
Don't lie. Especially to yourself. Don't settle for comfort. The hive wants you to be a worker bee. It wants you safe, specialized, and quiet.
Don't be an insect. Specialization is for the hive. You were designed in the image of God who sacrificed everything for Truth.
To cower is to deny that divinity. To stay silent while evil rises is to worship your own safety over God.
Find the hill you are willing to die on. Plant your flag. And do not move.
The world is waiting for a men who do not fear death. Will it be you?
