You don’t need me to.
You have complete control over whether another person makes you angry. 🫡
Love, the real one, with a capital A ❤️ is empowering, it releases a lot of hormones beneficial to the body
Devote your entire existence to learning, living, and mastering the 4 stoic virtues of wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice. The moment you begin to use these virtues as a compass that guides your decisions in everything that you are and do. You begin to unleash your inner potential and reveal the true you.
two things:
- in all situations, ask yourself “would i rather be right or happy?” and tell yourself “i could see peace instead of this.”
- for more clarity of thought, do more of the things that promote it. for example, i find that for myself, clean eating and running enable this. I am able to reflect on all that goes in my life by tapping into this clarity.
Never skimp spending on things that keeps you grounded to the Earth like your shoes, your mattress, and your car's tires.
Learn how to analyze yourself from an outside perspective, I call this third personing it.
Realize that things take time to change, and consistency is key.
A fault or weakness in one area could impact other areas of your life due to them being interconnected, Financial, Spiritual, Mental, Physical, Emotional, etc.
Impulsive actions and behaviors could have long term consequences.
Choose your circles carefully, as the people around influence you more than you realize.
Build an emergency savings fund of 6 months to 1 year of expenses.
That no one will come to save you, or intervene, while miracles do happen, it's unlikely, the only person who can improve your situation is yourself (not to discredit Faith but simply talking from a non-spiritual perspective)
Avoid plastic.
Avoid Debt.
Investing early is a good tool for wealth building.
Companies don't care about you, you're a replaceable cog, when you work you're supporting someone else's dream, not your own.
We all have unique talents, knowledge, and skills that other don't have granted to us by The Almighty, and when we hone them, and utilize them they benefit us greatly.
The economy is a cycle that reflects the natural order of Sowing, Growing, Harvesting, and Death.
Without chaos, destruction, pain, and suffering there would be no metric by which to measure order, growth, happiness, and comfort.
Thought begets action.
I'm sure there's more but this is just a small snippet.
I stole this story but it's super impactful:
"My mom was thinking about going back to school to get her bachelor's at 55. My entire family was trying to tell her that'll take 4 years! It's not worth it! You'll be almost 60 by the time you're done!
And her response was: 'I'm going to be 60 in five years anyway. So I can either be 60 with a degree or 60 without a degree.'"
-Oliver Velez
Not saying a degree is what it's cracked up to be... But the principle holds true.
"When you're lost in twilights blue. You don't find your way, the way finds you".
Are you willing to let yourself be unguarded and out of sync, to let nature/context guide you through? Trusting it fully?
Very relevant questions!
You seem empowered enough to get you to where you are in terms of body, mind, spirit.
Do you trust nature's way of communicating with your spirit?
You're empowered. I understand. Sometimes to get through the next roadblock you never saw coming that gave you a little bit of sweet chin music, kicking you down a peg. You need to relinquish the self-guidance that got you as far as you've come - and introduce a little more leash for your spirit (that you have armored up with positivity and nobility) and let it guide you organically.
I often find the roadblock that kicked me down a peg/vulnerable seems to dissipate after tucking the compass in my pocket, so-to-speak and letting organic intuition guide me.
It involves some trust. But that trust is in yourself and your own processes. Did you trust you're on the right path? Do you trust you followed it to where you are? Can you trust it to guide you to the next support ledge in your personal journey of discovery?
If that fails. Usually a thick and juicy session with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, followed by me either playing piano, guitar, violin, percussion (I play many instruments) and a good nap.
Do you have any hobbies or activities you like to do that perhaps aren't geared towards any end goal? A behaviouristic ritual perhaps that is self-fulfilling just by means of you engaging in it?
Your roots are drying out. Stop using artificial fertilizers. Only your native soil will help you to bloom.
I am native to mother earth. (But here I am speaking about a soil jar my medicine had me collect some years ago from the banks of the river in my grandparents village I used to have sit on my altar when I had a home and put some on my head sometimes). https://video.nostr.build/7e981fe6b418dc26d1efbc35c1081923639abe267c43eedb0a7f7c2cb494b16b.mp4

Life is much like a mountain.
We all start at the base, where everything seems unknown and the peak is out of sight. As we grow older, we begin our ascent. With each step, our perspective broadens; we start to see the world around us and gain a deeper understanding of the journey ahead.
Along the way, we meet people and gather experiences, adding them to our backpack. As the years pass, that backpack grows heavier, but that's alright—each experience makes us stronger and helps us climb higher.
Eventually, we reach the summit. We can reflect on the paths we've taken and the weight of our experiences so far, both good and bad. Looking ahead, we finally catch a glimpse of the horizon, but we also see the reality of our mortality waiting at the mountain's base, and suddenly, the urgency of time hits us.
This is the mid-life crisis.
So, what comes next? To avoid becoming a bitter and resentful person in our later years, we must make a choice. Use your midlife crisis to sift through your backpack; you can only carry a few meaningful items with you to the end.
Choose wisely, as these will shape your legacy.
I have nothing to teach you, to me the only thing that has improved my life is art.

You can clean almost anything in your house using citric acid, baking soda, vinegar or medical alcohol, which are all edible. It seems that last part is often ignored and I find it crucial.
