FAITH IS THE KEY |
If you're young with no mortgage, no pets, no girlfriend, you need to go. |
Live in another culture. |
Get away from what reminds your subconscious of who you "are". |
We are all addicted to what makes us who we think we are. |
If we didn't act in ways that confirm that we are who we think we are we would go insane. |
Imagine waking up each day with a different accent, a different laugh, a different gait. |
You are an adult now. |
It is time to let the man inside of you emerge and kill off the parts of you molded when you were not conscious of the molding. |
You need to break the habit of being yourself (H/T Joe Dispenza). |
Living alone in a place where you know no one is a rite of passage that goes way back. |
It allows you to break off the chains that held you. |
Old friends, old places, old habits. |
Why do heroine addicts always relapse when they go back to where they did the drug? |
Environment. |
Swap the environment and it changes the landscape in which your actions, thoughts and habits emerge. |
You need to find out who you are. |
I need to find out who I am. |
So, leave. |
Go places. |
Do stuff. |
Explore. |
Fail. |
Succeed. |
Fall in love. |
Fall out of love. |
Build a business. |
Learn a new language. |
Become good at something strange. |
Build something with your hands. |
Build something with your mind. |
You were not meant to walk the straight and narrow. |
You know this, your mother knows this, God knows this. |
So, why are you going against what the universe it trying to tell you. |
Resistance only exists when you go against your nature. |
Living in alignment with who you are, fundamentally, is the goal. |
An unattainable goal at best, but worthwhile still. |
What is keeping you from leading a life that you at 70 would be proud of? |
For me it was the lack of faith. |
I tried to define the optimal life that would lead me toward my potential. |
I then logically tried to define what my potential was. |
A tall task. |
An impossible task. |
The wrong task. |
Years of autistic optimization. |
My life was better by all metrics. |
But the void in my soul that I tried to fill up wasn't full. |
The burden of justifying my existence by my progress toward my self defined potential was heavy. |
At some point I realized I had to let go. |
Let go of trying to grasp what my potential was. |
Let go of trying to define the path there. |
Let go of the constant pursuit of optimal. |
The only way I could let go was by having faith. |
Now I have faith that something inside of me, external to me, knows what is best for me and guides me as long as I listen. |
Who am I to try to force my potential into being? |
Only God knows. |
Define it how you will, but it is there. |
A force for good. |
A signal in the noise pulling you directly closer to what you actually want and not what you think you want. |
Get away from who you are and the signal will become detectable. |
Once it has made itself known to you it is hard to not see it. |
Find the signal and do not lose it. |
Without it you are literally an NPC, an LLM, a script defined by culture, genetics and your environment. |
Break free by having faith not by forcing your way out. |
The chains that hold you from being what you know you could are a construct that disappear once you let go. |
Rome wasn't built in a day and you won't be either. |
The point is to establish the connection to God and then start walking. |
Let go, have faith and go. |
Do not stop. |
Your journey starts now. |
