The fact that you are alone is among the deepest most fundamental realities of life.

Great story!!

Never Give excuses, especially as a man. No one cares.

Obsession is a must have for success.

Your mind must be preoccupied with just ONE THING for extended durations of time to result in Mastery.

Fuck the pomodoro trash nonsense. Take a break when you desperately need it. You are probably not in the flow nor are you going to relevant/creative work if you are tired as hell.

The bare minimum time you should continuously work, once you sit your ass down is:

90 minutes.

Bare minimum.

Make it a habit. Resist temptations take breaks beforehand. Train your brain to focus. Block out all the distractions that may pester you in that golden 90 minutes.

Even after 90 min, take breaks only if you really need it. If you need breaks even before 90 min, then probably you were not well rested enough before sitting down to work. Don't let that happen. Train.

This is life changing advice.

Use naivety to your advantage.

If you know what exactly you should do every day for the rest of your life, you will be demotivated since it will appear huge and insurmountable.

Imagine Jeff Bezos working in his book shop in 1995 having information about Amazon being a trillion dollar company going through all the ups and downs within a few years. It will be so scary to have all that information.

Not having too much information is a blessing in disguise.

Know the immediate next step. And ruthlessly take action. The next step will be revealed at the appropriate time as and when required.

You cannot foresee all the future steps in the present and execute each of those instructions like a machine. That's not how that works. You will fail if you work like that.

If you are a loser, and you are on track for this to continue in the future...

ESCALATE YOUR TACTICS

You have nothing to lose, in the sense that you have a life not worth living.

Execute high risk-high reward tactics, until you either win or die.

Better to die in the middle of executing a high risk course of action, than to live and be a loser.

Death is nothing.

To live and be power less is to die everyday.

The only advice I have is:

Ramp up the intensity. Intensity at which you work and deliver is everything when it comes to peak individual performance.

Intensity is flow. Intensity is peak life experience. Intensity is effortlessness and mastery.

If you don't create intense experiences for yourself early on, then God will generously send you opportunities to experience peak intensity yourself. At least don't miss that. It usually comes in the form of high pressure, high stakes situations.

You need to be a grounded, principled man to face these testing times.

"But ..but consistency.."

Yes, consistency matters. What is consistency? It's literally showing up everyday and putting in the work. Of course I already expect you to do that.

Any moron can be consistent. And not all of them generate superb results.

Consistency alone is a low bar.

Be consistent. Spike Intensity.

Every ambitious man i’ve observed to take their life seriously,

hate small talk and gossip.

And they are extremely selective on giving attention, which makes them look like bad listeners.

Avoid this viscous trap.

Have a couple of noble content that you should force yourself to watch when you are feeling down.

You are more likely to end up homeless than you are to end up a billionaire.

Keep this in mind when voting on whether we should prioritize helping homeless people find housing, or cutting taxes on Billionaires.

The state, complexity, experience & development of mind is far more important than the kind of work you manage to get done.

Be conservative in your actions & work ethic.

Be liberal in your expression and world view.

High Conscientious & High Openness.

This mix of behaviour is top notch.

Best of both worlds.

"Learning" in a nutshell

1) Making observations.
2) Making distinctions.
3) Forming of a connection/relationships b/w the observed distinctions (concepts)
4) Short feedback loops
5) Logical ordering of distinctions.

F-influencers shitting on people for buying a cup of coffee for getting through their day,

is not only cringe, but also harmful & dysfunctional.

It's much more responsible to NOT buy iphones, mac, luxury cars, cut off Netflix, social media.

But hey, what works is not sexy.

Don't spend time with people who sold their soul to the Devil.

These people are possessed by the devil.

They have too little conscience or control over their own psyche.

Protect your integrity.

Fundamental reasons why people get hurt and/or hurt others:

1) Ignorance

2) Fear & Insecurities

3) Selfishness

4) Desperate desire for Love

5) Lack of consciousness & development
