Advice and strategies based on Old-School Philosophy.

That feeling always arises—

as if I were in the wrong era...

I carry with me principles

that have already been lost,

and I still love things

that are no longer valued.

It feels like I belong

to a distant time,

one that pulls me back

to a past long gone.

I'm testing a new scheme from nostr:nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7vf5xqhxvdm69e5k7tcpz4mhxue69uhkzet8d9ejuat50phjummwv5hsqgpm7rrrljungc6q0tuh5hj7ue863q73qlheu4vywtzwhx42a7j9n5zgwjy3 . If you've received more than 1000 sats in the last three months, you'll be able to access this exclusive post. I think it only works on Coracle or Jumble. Anyway, I'm really liking the idea.

Interesting! Would I be able to post some texts exclusively via Habla or Hight using this relay? I tried setting it up, but neither of these clients allowed me to add or remove relays. I'm still learning about the protocol, so I might be doing something wrong. nostr:nprofile1qyghwumn8ghj7vf5xqhxvdm69e5k7tcpz4mhxue69uhkzet8d9ejuat50phjummwv5hsqgpm7rrrljungc6q0tuh5hj7ue863q73qlheu4vywtzwhx42a7j9n5zgwjy3

I'll Teach You How to Escape the TRAPS When Building HABITS:

When we repeat the same process over and over without seeing results, our mind begins to question the logic behind it.

As a result, it will push boredom or discouragement upon you until a pattern break occurs, making quitting feel like the new excitement of your day.

Our mind is complex, and soon enough, even quitting will become boring.

You’ll start something new, never finish it, and become inconsistent—just a mere object tossed around, part of fate’s amusement.

Therefore, besides always keeping in mind the reason you started, YOU MUST NOT become obsessed with the absence or delay of results.

If you get anxious because the landscape seems unchanged on a long journey, your mind will trick you into thinking you're lost...

And that’s when you might actually lose your way on this straight path.

Without taking your eyes off the road, talk to those beside you, play some music you enjoy, or challenge yourself by competing with yesterday’s version of you.

Routine is dull; making it enjoyable is a survival strategy.

Bring life to your routine so that living it becomes your greatest distraction from the results—which will come naturally, without you even noticing.

Thanks for reading this far, my friend!

"You deserved this loss.

You were getting too comfortable.

This needed to happen to put you back on track."

"Do not engage with those who do not share your principles.

There is no pact between wolves and foxes."

"The ego suffers for two reasons:

Because it doesn’t get what it desires,

or because it gets it and fears losing it.

In either case, the ego’s fate is suffering.

Thus, the greater the attachment to the ego,

the more emotional instability

and the more unnecessary suffering."

— Rivka Vallpad

Yes, all the texts posted here are original!

Soon, I'll start selling my digital book—just need to learn more about the protocol first. I'm looking into how nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgmwaehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9eek2mtfwdhkctnyv4mqqgxlgak27jyghawen348zr4x462r60nf855um36ufml3e7mrfqumhqa8md53 works and how to upload PDFs to be released after payment.

I’d love to use Nostr full interface for this setup. 🥃

Ragazzi, I just posted my first text on Highlighter!

I’d love to hear your comments and any suggestions for improvement.

Regarding the format, do you prefer the post on nostr:nprofile1qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uq36amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3dxqcjucn0d36zummzwdjhyan9wghsqgrnc6aey3q2jdzz08m6x64rmct3pjge3v0faz3efngnurw4ex2vvv3lc28c or nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgzn9kpsmllqnsf7wh5tz3wgy4cclsftqqplv8tpayrhwgw8llunevgnmdf3 ?

I’m still testing some tools here on Nostr, so I’m open to any feedback!

Salute 🥃

"My principles are non-negotiable"

⚖️

Weigh your desires carefully against what you are sacrificing.

We always trade what we have for what we want.

Just make sure that once you obtain what you desired, you won’t regret the price you paid.

Family, honor, health, and time cannot be refunded.

Be always mindful of this, so that as you progress through life, you don’t face the unsettling regret of wanting to give up everything you’ve gained just to reclaim what you once had—before this relentless pursuit of what you thought was success.

In short, it’s not enough to tell others that your principles are non-negotiable; you must remind yourself constantly. Only then will you avoid compromising—even in the smallest daily decisions—what truly matters to you.

Thank you for reading, my friend!

"As long as we do not face the demons within us, we will continue trying to destroy them in others."

"We know that the wildest and most moving dramas are not performed on stage, but in the hearts of ordinary men and women who pass unnoticed, revealing nothing of the conflicts raging within them—except, perhaps, through a nervous breakdown.

What is so difficult for the layperson to understand is that, in most cases, the patients themselves have no suspicion of the destructive war waged within their unconscious. If we remember that many people understand nothing about themselves, we will be less surprised to realize that there are also those who are completely unaware of their real conflicts."

"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate."
