What goes on upstairs is everything. It’s what’s manifesting reality. If it ain’t polished, your world will always be dirty and you’ll wonder why.
Take time to sharpen your mind.
The better it works, the better it manifests your reality.
Meditation helps you become aware of & control your mood. Your mood controls your perception.
Environment
Your environment must be compelling. You need a garden, not just a balcony. Otherwise your mind seeks digital distraction, and you’ll live in a half-world.
Decisions
Being a baller is not the same as being a workaholic. You can’t just turn up to your venture and plod along for long hours. You need to make bold decisions, act quickly, and do what’s uncomfortable. This means protecting a certain aggressive mindset, you know the sensation I mean; and it’s the first mindset that gets eroded by digital addictions.
The path that you subconsciously fear it likely the direction you should be heading. Fear is useful. It suggests the path you need to take.
In the end, we all get what we want. Not what we say, but what we want as revealed by our choices.
Find the wormholes
The distance between stars is incredibly vast. So vast that if you left Earth on a spaceship right now, and travelled as fast as any human had travelled before (lunar astronauts?), you’d reach the nearest star, Alpha Centuri, in xxxx years.
Interstellar (between the stars) travel is therefore something that’s seen as requiring wholly new technology to accomplish.
A favourite is wormhole technology. How it may one day work is by bending space, using incredible engineering to create a new connection between the two distant points of our star and another. By sending your spaceship through this new connection, you cut down the travel time from lifetimes to maybe only a few years.
Maybe you’ve seen the analogy drawn on a piece of paper, where two dots on each ends of the page are brought together by folding the page in half.
Technology like this is probably centuries away, but it is an illustration in how intelligence and creative thinking can create shortcuts in otherwise laborious tasks.
Grinding through a long task is like travelling to another star with today’s technology.
Giving yourself time to stop and consider the problem may be what you need to create new connections, or wormholes, that give you a smarter shortcut.
Present moment mindset
Foster the best mind state that you can. You can only work with what you have. Slowly it may improve.
- Produce whatever content comes to you.
- Knowing more about the universe may support insights.
Spend just a few seconds in the present moment and you will discover signs and omens, just beyond your normal conscious awareness.
Don’t go searching for a particular thing in a certain moment. Just follow the moment and what it presents to you. So maybe sometimes you’re making TikToks, sometimes meditations, whatever. Just do what the moment reveals to you.
So don’t try and force making content when they’re not occurring
Turn the moment into different categories of compelling content.
Weed
It seems to give you a heightened perception in some domains. But don’t overdo it. It also seems to give you a heightened sense of threats, real or imagined. Perhaps this explains the social anxiety that many people associate with it.
Values
Be the grandpa that knows how to use TikTok and Notion; or whatever the equivalent is when you’re 80.
