Welcome back to another newsletter. As always, the format is simple:
- Ideas I’m thinking about
- Resources that are raising the quality of my life or assisting my growth
- The latest from me
Ideas
The mind doesn’t know anywhere close to what intuition knows. Take everything you think with a grain of salt. Trust instead what’s inside of you. Something inside of you knows that which something outside of you cannot. In the depths of your core, you have access to all the information you could ever imagine.
Pay attention to what’s happening all over the world right now. What’s happening elsewhere can also happen where you are, too. Just because it’s not affecting you today, doesn’t mean it won’t affect you tomorrow. Their events can be previews, not just exceptions.
Giving the government too much power and control is a dangerous game because it doesn’t go away when the current politicians are out of office and we can’t predict who the next people are going to be or how they’ll use their newfound power.
Follow the money, find who profits, discover the truth.
Ignore the narratives, follow the facts. With lies being told all over the map, don’t listen to whatever narrative mainstream media (especially far-left media) is trying to paint. Follow the data, seek out facts. Consider both sides of the “argument”. After you’ve identified the non-negotiable information, form your own conclusions. Think for yourself.
It’s not left vs. right, it’s all of us vs. them. There are enough of us. If we all come together and in unison say one simple word — no — tyranny ceases to exit and totalitarian government is toppled.
All that we’re chasing at the end of the day is a feeling. Not the process, outcome or other rationalization, but rather the feeling that we get when we do that action, become that person or receive that thing. That’s what we’re really after. And as a bonus, we also have the power to feel it right now without waiting.
You can’t take the past with you. Nothing lasts forever. In order to evolve into the future, you must leave behind that which is no longer necessary. Everything else is fleeting. This is easier when you remember that you are not your material possessions, nor your accomplishments. You are not your mind, nor your body. You are eternal consciousness. And that is the only thing that lasts forever.
Resources
I survived $1 vs. $100,000 vacation! (by Airrack). As I’ve said in weeks past, I’m obsessed with Airrack at the moment and currently, I think he’s the best creator on YouTube. This was a really enjoyable comparison between the 2 spectrums. Though some will discredit this video because the $1 vacation was in the Bahamas, you can be as happy as you want, wherever you are in the world. It’s more about your presence than your surroundings.
Jordan Peterson’s GQ Interview. I’ve seen podcasts and clips from Jordan Peterson, but I’ve never seen him in an extended debate-like circumstance. I am blown away at how intelligent this man is. I aspire to his speed of thought, response-time, re-framing and dominance in conversation. Great interview for any young man to listen to.
Andy Frisella on Meditation & Manifestation. Hearing Andy (who’s apparently just recently become a billionaire on paper) talk about visualization, the quantum realm and the suppression of our natural gifts — was absolutely amazing. I especially loved when he talked about the disconnect between good vs. great performers and how the former think this out-there stuff is crazy, but the latter all understand it, agree on its validity and use it to create their empires. It’s a phenomenon that I’ve been aware of for years, but hearing all of this come from someone like him was very encouraging.
King Richard (2021). This movie was based on the story of Venus and Serena Williams — 2 legendary tennis players which I knew almost nothing about prior — told from their father’s perspective. It was a great testament to perseverance, determination, and doing what had never been done before. Such a great movie and a stellar job by Will Smith. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
A JP Sears skit on those who are denying what’s really happening. On one hand, this is comedic gold. On the other, it’s terribly sad because people like this actually exist.
The latest
Reacting to my 2021 Spotify Wrapped. A rare, purely entertainment-based video covering my top listened to music, artists and genres for the year.
Thanks for reading. Until next week, much love.
