PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION
Accept this: Perfection doesn't exist.
You will always need to do better, you will always need to get better.
You will always need to be learning.
It never stops.
The moment you stop getting better, you start getting worse.
Don't let that happen.
You can afford arrogance.
You cannot afford complacency.

Allow me to talk once again about the most powerful thinking process:
REFRAMING.
Listen, I'm not even joking: Master reframing and you're set for life.
Reframe your beliefs.
Reframe arguments.
Reframe everything.
If you learn how to reframe ideas, you will be unbeatable.
You can manipulate yourself.
You can convince anyone of anything.
You can get away with arguments when you're wrong.
Your ability to propose alternatives will not only help you with the above, but it will also make de facto smarter.
You'll become better at communication AND you'll become an efficient problem-solver.
Break things into first principles.
Whatever situation you have at hand, focus on the facts and the things that can't be denied.
Use those parameters to construct and alternate solution or viewpoint that suit your own interests and preferences.
You hear people talking about "creating your reality".
Well, gents, this is it.

What is it called when a toxic/manipulative person is out of the sudden acting nice and agreeable? It’s like the person knows that she/he is in the wrong so she/he takes a step back to cover it up. Tactical retreat? Not really relevant to this message, but I would like to know more about it and the best way to deal with it.

If you're good at something and you're passionate about it:never give up on it.
Keep doing it.
Even if it doesn't pay you.
Of course it should not eat out so much of your time that you're unproductive.
But don't give up on your passion.
If you like a sport to watch, keep watching it.
If you like a video game to play, keep playing it.
These Twitter dudes want you to give up on everything and embrace the hustle culture.
Don't do it.
Of course, work your ass off to be financially free and comfortable.
But do not give up on your passion.
It will destroy you and eat you from inside.
Keep doing the things you love, keep doing the things you're good at.
It's good for your mental health.
Don't use them as a way to escape reality.
Face reality then take breaks to do the things you enjoy most.
Your time is limited.
You were not born to run after dollar bills.

Quick Reframing Lesson:
Stop calling things "problems".
Call them situations.
This slight change in terminology will change your approach to the whole thing.
You've seen me tweet one of these two:
"There are no problems, only solutions"
Or
"There are no problems to solve, only situations to deal with."
I mean it.
If you see things as complex problems (with all the negativity that word bears), you will find it harder to get through it.
Calling it a situation prepares you to deal with it with more calm and composure.
Additional tip:
Affirm 3 to 4 times throughout your day:
"I have no problem in my life"
Even if you do have some.
What this will do is condition you to see things as less complex and more approachable.
Trust me, it's more about how you see it than what it really is.
Have a nice weekend.

Contrary to what a good part of contemporary Doxa would have us believe, emotions can be controlled.
One is not always obliged to suffer, one allows oneself to fall in love (and one can refrain from doing so), and sadness, frustration or even anger are impulses that the man of reason and virtue can, at least in part, control.
In the society of the fragile, however, everything pushes you to renounce them.
Everything pushes you to join the group of the fragile, the whining, the pathetic.
The group of those who make excuses, of those who cry over the wickedness of others and of the world, to avoid having to face the sum of their weaknesses and vices

The 100/0 Rule:
100% Responsibility.
0% Excuses.
____
Real growth is when you start checking and correcting yourself.
Instead of blaming others, you take your power back by being responsible for your life.

Control the silence = Control the conversation
The one who can impose silence has an edge over the conversation.
Impose your pace, force pauses and be the one that picks up the conversation.
This is a sure way to find the right words and not stress out.
"Oh but Ego how can I do this?"
There is always someone asking so let me answer before you ask.
There is on thing you should remember:
> Body language is a more powerful communication tool, it will help you impose silence (getting to it in a moment)
One thing that creates silence is turning your back to your interlocutor when it's your time to speak.
Walking sideways or to the opposite direction.
Your movements have to be slow.
If you're too fast, you're fleeing away not imposing your pace.
Another anchoring word you can use is: "Wait."
Then complete silence.
Put people on a hiatus, take time to recollect your thoughts.
This values what you're about to say a lot more.

You cannot afford to get emotional about other people's decisions.
I've said in the past:
Do not chase people.
If someone walks away from you, let them be.
If they believe they're better off without you, let them go.
Do not hold people back.
If they stay around you against their will, your relationship will turn toxic and unhealthy.
Respect people's choices and boundaries no matter how unreasonable or straight out stupid they might seem.
Your friends are not your kids.
You have no responsibility over them.
This also applies to friends that are stubborn and don't want to listen to your advice.
DO NOT INSIST.
Let them make their own mistakes.
