In the environments I grew up in, showing off was considered bad and shameful. "Stay humble and low-key," they taught me. And I lived as an invisible background character for most of my life.
When I started achieving bigger goals, my habit of staying low-key was so ingrained in my mindset that I pretended to be a common, mediocre person. "I don't need to show off or attract attention; it's shameful," I thought. "If I am something, I don't need to brag about it."
But the world is moving faster than ever now. The Internet has given everyone the opportunity to become better and to show the world who they really are. This allows people to connect and achieve bigger things together. And we need to do it — to present ourselves in the best possible light, attract attention, and cooperate, to collaborate and create the world we want to live in.
You are a unique individual. You have strengths that may change the world. And to find like-minded people, you need to attract attention. Don't be ashamed — show everyone who you really are!

Some people think "progress means fitness." Others think it means "a healthy lifestyle."
Some study specific topics or areas.
"Philosophy isn't for me. I'm a fitness guy."
"I'm not smart enough to study finance."
"Why do I need to understand politics?"
"I just want to live a peaceful life."
But you can't do that. Life is war. Sheep didn't want to learn and understand complex things, either. Now they're food.
Incentives shape everything. If any behavior, idea, concept, ideology, movement, or anything else is incentivized, it will become predominant — not because it's good, effective, fair, or functional, but because it benefits specific vested interests. Even if it destroys everything else...
Everything we have been told is a lie. The only way to find the truth is to experience it yourself.
I think that the purpose of a man's life is to conquer himself and then to build his world.
The faster you want to go, the longer your preparation will need to be. Alternatively, you can go slowly and steadily.
Just as a dirty, rusty car reveals more about its owner than its manufacturer, your unhealthy, neglected body says more about your character than anything else.
First, you think we landed on the Moon. Then you realize they did it, and you had nothing to do with it. Then you realize they faked it, and you finally understand that they were just deceiving you. 
Sheep eat many times throughout the day. Lions eat once per several days.
How often do you eat? 
Rules are meaningful and should be created to benefit us, not to limit or enslave us. When you follow rules or create rules for yourself, keep that in mind. Do these rules benefit you and help you become freer and more effective, or do they enslave and rob you?
Energy. You have it. It is there. Inside you. All you need is to decide. All you need is to state: I am strong and smart! I can do it! 
If there's a fire on the farm that burns everything to ashes and the sheep run away into the wild, would they be able to survive?
Would you be able to? Are you ready?

Being yourself... what does it mean?
Everyone lives their own life. Some people progress and move forward, while others regress, and some remain stuck where they are.
Being yourself means accepting where you are right now. You may not be where you want to be, and you may or may not be moving toward your goals. Regardless, you are here now — embrace it!
Be yourself and move toward the future you desire! 
"Do you reward yourself after you achieve a goal? After all the dedication and all the struggles you overcome?"
My life is my reward. I always do whatever I want. I struggle and am in pain frequently, but it is exactly what I want and intentionally choose to do. It is the reward. And the outcomes I achieve... and the progress... experience... There's no reward greater than that...

Living a life of comfort... or a life of pain?
We all have our potential — the maximum we can be, do, and achieve in our lives. Some people reach their potential; others live average lives.
There's a dilemma: when we relax and feel comfortable, we regress and don't use our maximum potential. When we push our limits, we progress and use our potential, but it is painful. Maximum potential always comes with pain. And the closer we get to the max, the greater the pain.
For most people, the choice is obvious: a comfortable life and peace, seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. But for someone on their journey toward excellence and reaching their maximum potential, the faster and farther we go, the more interesting it becomes. And yes, it is painful, but the progress becomes so captivating that we become insensitive to the pain. It even starts to feel like an addiction.
Where is the threshold? Where is the line that divides the enjoyment of life from painful progress? Do we need to seek balance here, or do we aim for the absolute extreme?
Right now, I'm far more interested in progress, even though it is painful. I don't feel anything anymore — just pure fire inside me. I will either burn myself to ashes or light the world on fire with my spark.
What about you?

Why are most people delusional, living miserable lives?
Because we are biased tribal monkeys... We can only listen to and understand information we already know and associate with. Anything else is wrong and lies...
Instead of trying to listen, analyze, and try to understand new information, we look at who says it and if we like them or not.
This weakness is used by parasites to psyop and completely brainwash us.
I remember reading a comment about 12 part eye opening documentary film (E: T L B), the guy was saying "This dude in the beginning has tattoos, I will never believe anyone with tattoos... I can't watch this garbage."
It is funny, actually... Beneficial information is discomforting most of the time... And whatever is pleasant is usually destructive.
Choose your destiny. Flawless victory 🔥
When we are really free, we can feel that... and we are happy. But when we are deceived that we are free, like most people in the modern world, we feel bad.
You can try to convince yourself that you are free, listing facts, but subconsciously, deep inside, you'll feel bad.
If you're not healthy... you can not be free. If you're forced to do things you don't want to do... work a job you hate... don't communicate with people you want... If you don't feel desired... If you don't grow and progress... If you don't feel heard and appreciated... you can cope as much as you want... but you will feel miserable.
Are you really free?
Of course you are! You have rights. You can vote. You earn money. You can go wherever you want whenever you want it. You can eat whatever you want. Say whatever you want. Do you feel it? Happy freedom!
Wake up!
To conquer the world, you need to be the greatest. Mediocre people can't achieve it. First, envision yourself as the greatest, embody it, and then go and succeed. That's the order, not the other way around.
Everything has duality. The perfect sheet of paper is a clean white one... but also a beautifully painted one.
Stupidity has no limits. Neither does intellect.
