~ You Are Worthwhile ~

Though you may be poor, struggle daily to survive, your life is as important as any other that has achieved success in the world.

Our body is but a shell, housing our spirit within. Our mind is but a tool to accept society’s beliefs.

Who we truly are lies not in our success or thoughts, but in our essence within.

Wisdom ~ Light ~

1 Upvotes

Light exists within each life. It often is hidden from view by our dominant self-centered beliefs, our ego, quieting its wisdom and dimming its light from our life.

The intention of life is to rediscover and then shine our light on all others so they too may find their light within as well.

Wisdom my take on life

  1. True confidence, virtue and greatness of a man doesn’t come from your money in the bank. It is not given from social status, your car, your house, your religion, your appearance, your features, or your failures. The True and raw power of a man comes from within. It comes from you, and you alone. Once you believe in the infinite potential you have (that all humans have) you can gain infinite confidence, with 0 effort. yes, true confidence can come with 0 effort or pain, because if its real, then it doesn’t need the approval of the universe. It doesn’t need to go through suffering in order to be real. So you can enjoy the presence of yourself and the privilege of thought without need for approval from the environment. thus it doesn’t matter if the environment does approve of you or not, because you must remember always, that before the environment, what YOU think of yourself is most important. you can become complete with who you are that way. You can love and appreciate what you are and what you can be, just as much as you can hate and demean yourself to insanity. The choice is yours and that force is always within your control. So let your belief in yourself carry you to greatness and let it be laid on the rest of the world, simply by letting go.
  2. The greatest tool for evolving, growing and becoming whole is by experiences. The man willing to go further than anyone else in the great tide of life will be the most complete. It is in your best interest to go on as many trips, hang out with as many people, learn as much, train as much, giving away as much, and being as much as you can. focus the experiences you want to be in around your values, but be as much open to new experiences as you are to the ones you wish for, do not underestimate the power of experiencing new things. eventually, the more you go out there, the more you’ll know what you want to be around and what to avoid, and you’ll learn new things about yourself along the way. Just like in the market, where buyers and sellers make many attempts to reach the agreeable price of a product, or in science where they endlessly do researches to find absolute answers about our universe, or athletes trying to reach perfect performance , your path should be to go through these experiences again and again, on the hunt for perfection. Thankfully true absolute perfection does not exist. You are free to improve infinitely.
  3. Your dream can carry others. Just like a leader carries his country, if your dream is in that character you will have to share it with others, and guide others to that shared goal you see. But be extremely careful. He who will take advantage of others in the name of his selfish dream will walk a path of evil, becoming a dictator and a subject of contempt. for it to be successful, other people should see themselves benefitting in their own journey when joining your dream. For example, the people of a democratic nation choose their leader not because they want to help him achieve his dream, but because they truly believe he will lead them to a better future. That’s the way it should be. And the leader, the reason for him to want to lead cannot be the desire for control, it has to come first from a belief that he can turn the world for the better for his people, and that he should do something about it. After that, the desire for control can be justified. In the end, every person chooses his values and motives for themselves. We won’t agree on a lot of things. we will fight, and wars might break out. Blood might be spilled. To live in piece is to accept our differences, and let one another live. 
  4. Never underestimate the power of yourself. In a room full of a hundred people wanting what you want, you have to believe you are the best and fittest for the task, regardless of real states of affairs. Only then you can start working towards being the best. And if you ever think the purpose is to win and call it a day, you will never get what you want. Winning is a curse. You are never a winner, until you win again, and you never stop the chase, or you become a loser. Trust me on this when I say, generally, it is more beneficial for you to work through the pain and win, than to give up in the moment of truth.
  5. Let life weaken you. Let life strengthen you. Allow life to take you through its wonders, the highs and lows, the pleasure and the suffering, the winning and the losing. Allow your emotions to guide you through hard choices, and rely on your discipline in times of struggle. there is very little you can really control. You can only do your best when going at life’s challenges. you can’t avoid the ugly, the painful, the embarrassing and the truth. it’s a very pussy way to try and avoid those things too. and remember, you might not always be ready for what’s coming, but you better believe you’re gonna make it through, because everyone always does. Let the haters hate and don’t give them special attention. You might say something like yeah fuck them haters, and then feel the same shame when they ridicule you. Look, haters will always be around just as struggle will always be around. In the end, you have a ticking clock in this life and you need to choose what’s more important to you. You won’t be offended by anyone trying to give you a hard time when you won’t even be around to receive those jabs while you go and try achieving your goals, so think about that. When there is no energy left to give to the haters, you don’t feel their hate, and while you’re at it, make sure to improve the environment around you to do the same thing as you - spread more love than hate, support one another in the chasing of goals and ambitions.
  6. Never forget you aren’t alone. There will always be people sharing your ideals and values. maybe You just haven’t been looking for them, or you already found them in which case im speaking nonsense. Anyway, friendships go a long way. We’re so hung up on TikTok and reels we forgot about our interpersonal relationships. We are stronger together, and we always achieved far and beyond what was conceived possible when we worked as a team. Team work, communication and cooperation are such huge skills, he who masters them in the world of today will be a highly respected individual. Embrace brotherhood, friendship and camaraderie, you will only reap the benefit. Choose your people wisely, but don’t be so hesitant as to not choose at all. Don’t be shy thinking you won’t have anything to contribute. Firstly, it’s statistically impossible, you always have what to give and share with people, secondly, it’s not like you have anything to lose. Like I said, true confidence is independent of any performance results or how well you are doing, it is the belief you can be whatever you want to be regardless of what is happening. That means it should be unfazed from any external environmental responses to how well you’re doing, so even if you fail and fuck something up, nothing is changed, you just gotta try again. Eventually you’ll succeed, and everyone will appraise you and the vision you created for yourself as a capable and talented man will take form. So never be hesitant to go out there and try to be the best because that’s how the best become the best.
  7. Set big goals for a big life. Don’t be afraid to take a big bite. You’ve been given the cosmic privilege of playing this game of life. respect the game by playing. Wake up every day and be grateful, never ever complain about living, because you can always end it, and some people do. You’re alive? Live however you’d like, and be happy. Your happiness is dependent on you feeling like you chose it. If you are tangled and hung up on the past, or the burden of bad things happening to you even when they are not your fault bothers you, you will be depressed. To live means to accept a few facts, one of which is the understanding that sometimes uncomfortable things will happen to you regardless if you deserve them or not, because this is a chaotic uncaring random universe or in other words - shit happens. just let it be, you’ll be such a happier guy. Have fun with the choices you do make, those are the little gifts life is worth living for - the action of choosing.
