Peacocks have colorful personalities but still won’t succeed…

So, your type is 1% of the population? If that’s true why are you so basic?

Every imaginable test to measure a person in any way has become its own religion, with a cult like following.

Theres a good reason for it, but it went too far.

Success boils down to authenticity— and providing a service that is needed or useful. But your ability to do that comes down to are you in the right field? And to figure that out, we need to know what you’re wired for.

In comes this exploding industry: personality psychology.

Regardless of your identity-language, they’ve got something for everyone. Do you prefer 4 letters to sum up your soul? Try mbti.

Or maybe you feel a connection with mythical creatures and find yourself able to talk to animals (you can understand it, but don’t speak it)– in this case, zodiac might explain why horses neigh at you #centaur.

Some only believe in science, if facts turn you on, the whitecoats use something called the big5.

Theres an endless amount of tests, and they all claim to be “the test” but what’s the point of all this?

To get better, and most don’t.

Instead, the instinct is to peacock. It’s to take whatever your type is and flaunt. I’m this, that’s how we are, Entps debate a lot, Sagittarius are just direct like that, blah, blah, blah.

An entire industry rendered useless because no one cares about improving.

And it’s hard not to do, don’t get it twisted.

We all want something to point to and say, “there– that is what I am.”

But no test could actually measure an individual. Your task as a student of human nature is one, to thoroughly explore yourself and then to create yourself. All of us are on solo journeys and to become yourself, you have to learn about yourself.

These tests are just vague outlines, its on you to color it all in.

And why should you go through the pain and suffering to do this? Because real fulfillment comes from something that is deep within you. When you connect to that, success is a byproduct.

Writing is for the conflicted… and my 99 problems don’t include that

If you come with a bag of issues and no resolution in sight, you’re probably a writer.

At the very least, you have the potential to be one of the greats.

And theres the problem with writing, for me…

… my issues aren’t as real.

I don’t have deep sadness from the worlds suffering, I’m not unhappy with myself, I’m also lacking in butt power (the ability to sit for long periods of time in order to connect with your work on some weirdly spiritual level).

I am none of these things.

Writing is just play, so rather than try to make myself into one of you artists, I’m carving it out to suit myself.

I like scripts, I’ll lead with that.

I like bold, snappy, and quick content (long form is boring).

A lot of us feel guilt for not belonging, don’t. Your task is to uncover your own unique lane and you can’t do that when you’re following the paths of others.

Why’d I make this post and how the hell does it help you?

Don’t stay on one thing if it’s missing something. Only you’ll know when it’s time to either add something new, subtract the old, or adapt the approach.

Change as needed.

Til next time, stay moving.

Intuitive Casting: You have to match the character you play …

Look, we’ll all have to do things we might not completely love– but no one has to hate anything.

There is a way to avoid misery on your journey to fulfillment.

And this hack is dependent on you knowing what makes you tick.

But first an example: During my high school years I learned that not only was I excellent with groups, but that was what fulfilled me (collabing, creating, building together, etc.). I became a better me around my own team. When you understand psychology and personality types, you learn nature plays a big role in what fulfills us.

If you’re high extrovert— WITHDRAWING to go build on your own is the dumbest move possible!

But thats what I did, and so I fell from grace.

After enough self analysis and understanding, I’ve since changed my approach to suit me, and surprise-surprise, life is phucking awesome again!

This is the ultimate success hack. This is all you need to know.

Fulfilled by helping others? Put yourself in those environments first, then worry about what and how you’ll do as a career.

The nature part comes first.

Success follows us leveraging our DNA.

Everything I build will be based on my strengths– and if you want to win, but more importantly enjoy your life, you’ll need to do the same.

Real self-Improvement can’t be taught…

If you’re one of those rare individuals who feel the need to constantly throw yourself into various fires and build a stronger player— you should know something.

There is no self improvement practice, at least, not the ones where you do random habits or read a specific amount of books– and somehow unlock phoenix mode? No.

That’s not actually real.

Maybe it helps, but not in the ways you’d like.

Ironically, I’ve developed the most personally while maintaining the least habits, and while nearly reading next to nothing new.

Morning routine is essentially the gym and casually writing these posts. Reading is random, I do it when I feel like it. Diet, it’s just okay–

And yet I’m learning far more about my strengths and weaknesses and developing my character, how?

Through my work.

That’s the answer for all of us. Work develops us. Now, the catch is there has to be some connection to who you are. In my field, there certainly is.

But when I tried to deliberately improve, I oddly became more neurotic and isolated. When I embraced my craft and leaned into what I was doing, I started seeing results. The other day I wondered how I’d convey this idea to my younger self if given the chance…. and I don’t think I ever could.

That idiot was just too big headed.

You have to bump your head until the headache makes you stop.

Embracing your life is the answer. I treat my career like I wish I’d have went through my youth and school. Nothing matters, so play. Quit resisting everything, these little moments are what you’ll look back on in the end.

Improving is human nature.

It will fulfill you, give you more confidence, and make life far more engaging and interesting. But to do it, you have to shift your attitude towards the game.

What are you playing for?

Sacrificing the old goat…

Everything comes down to what you’re willing to give.

There is no real concept of imposter syndrome or deserving something. It’s just will you do what you need to– to accomplish the thing.

The things that used to work for me, won’t for the next level.

I recognize that, and so that’s what goes.

I don’t mind, actually theres relief that comes with that.

Most of us likely don’t want to repeat our lives— making the same mistakes and being hung up on the exact same problems.

You have to make a sacrifice and that’s of your own weaknesses.

The old goat.

I used to try to clever my way through things, sometimes at the expense of others. That will never work for where I’m going. I want a good reputation, one that promises authenticity and delivering excellent work.

Keep cleverness in the craft itself.

We’ll get hung up on things like whats next or where to? Those aren’t the questions we need answering.

What you’re looking for is: Who?

Who will you live life as? How will you live? Where do you spend time, what do you do?

Life follows the character, not the other way around.

Develop the character and life molds itself to match.

Focus on who you need to live as to have that dream life, and everything follows.

Returning to what delivered me…

The other day I had a moment of weakness.

I felt overwhelmed, which resurfaced old feelings from my youth– the ones that make me feel like vanishing.

Strategically, I slept it off. And now I’m clear headed.

I’m going back to what brought me here, to the things that gave me results.

I’m going to harden myself and rise to this new chapter of my life. Remember, there is nothing to ever take personally or feel guilty about.

Guilt is society’s voice.

There is only you and what you want.

That said, I’m leveling up.

I have to be a better writer, and better at my own personal self improvement practices (the laws).

Not much of a post today, but there is something here for all of us:

Anchor yourself to something that can never be taken from you. This will become your superpower in times of crisis.

There is one belief you should know this brand will forever encapsulate, and that is: YOU ARE THE CREATOR OF YOUR LIFE.

Reject everyones roles for you, and write your own.

Til we meet again,

Opportunity evades the neurotic…

Regular action unlocks desire.

Where I am right now, and where this all leads to– is pretty awesome.

I couldn’t have created or manufactured any of this, no matter what I would have done. Things actually turned out far better than anything I could have ever dreamed of. But how the hell did all this start?

I let go.

You have to forget your dreams to achieve them.

When you’re neurotic and death gripping every aspect of reality, something weird happens… opportunities evade you because you’re creepy.

Everything comes from a state of play. We’re excellent problem solvers, fluid, adaptable, and fun to be around– which matters.

Letting go is a crucial first half.

The second– that’d be nonstop action.

Theres an idea in our heads that when we’re chilling or in our down time, we should think about what we’d like to happen next. I have yet to meet one person actually good at sitting and thinking into the future.

You don’t think your way there, you act.

What you build becomes the journey itself. The things you try, people you meet, random applications you send out.

Life is made up of random moments that lead to unimaginable journeys.

Your problem is you want to know, before you go.

It doesn’t work like that.

If you’re ready for something new, do something different. Throw out a bunch of stuff and see what happens.

Chat soon. #FoolOn
