Feeling worthless?

The trick isn’t to search inward or practice affirmations.

Nope.

It’s actually so much easier than what you’re considering.

All you have to do is forget.

Forget yourself.

I know, I tricked you… boohoo.

But the worst thing you can do is “try to feel better.”

You don’t have the answers, you haven’t figured it out, and now you feel like you’re out of time.

Good.

That means all upside, since you literally can go anywhere from here.

So, what do you do when you’re lost?

Solve someone else’s problem.

This is the EASIEST way out and most won’t try it.

Wanna cut the time you spend stuck in depression-feeling-shitty-about-yourself-LAND?

Find a person who has a problem you know how to solve, and solve it.

Forget yourself and your life.

Let someone speak without you complaining and listen to them, you’ll hear something that compels you to speak to them.

Grab that opportunity, because that’s your rope out.

This one small and seemingly charitable action is what will open the next door.

This is how you find the next step.

Open yourself.

There’s this concept in psychology, where each person, in order to develop themselves on their own hero’s journey, must submit themselves to something.

This something isn’t what you love.

Most times you hate it.

And it isn’t yours to choose, you were born to it.

But it’s the thing deep down you know is yours to do.

To find it, start with the people you know around you, look at their lives– I’m sure you’ll see their themes.

For some of your friends or family, their life is a constant battle– always fighting with others, for them, saying what needs to be said, etc.

For others, it’s a show.

Always getting themselves into new things and then having to find a way out— maybe that’s an adventure, idk.

Point is, each of us has a theme— and hidden in the same old problems we have, is the call. The thing we’re here to do— the karma we need to cleanse, so to speak.

This is your ruler.

For me, I always jump around. I always chase new things, never settle, run around. My ruler is to submit myself to the present– to build where I am.

When I do that, my karma turns fortunate and my life improves.

When do you get ahead in life? It’s likely related to your call— follow the ruler to rule.

Your biggest challenge will be knowing what’s real.

You’ll think you do, but that’s just how you see it.

That’s important, but not enough.

To finish serving your sentence, you have to see reality— otherwise, you’re stuck living your circle of hell, whatever that be.

And inward isn’t always the answer.

Where you look is just as important as that you look.

We’re not supposed to look directly into the abyss, do that, and there are parts of you that can never be recovered.

Sanity is like innocence, experience can take it.

You must move outwards.

You have to find a way to share yourself with the world because that’s the only way to escape purgatory.

You have 2 options: Join a circle and move towards the divine, or forever run inside yours…

It’s hard to trust a wavering mind, especially when it’s not allowed to stop.

How do you know you can trust what you want?

How do you know it’s good for you?

We could overthink ourselves into indecision or bad decision, but questions don’t lead to answers if the answers stop you from filling in the blank (you have to take action).

We’re not supposed to observe our paths.

If what you want is authentic, you’d naturally move towards it.

Think about it, the discovery process for most artists, creatives, musicians, etc. —the people who found the thing they do well, those people moved towards their call from instinct.

They didn’t analysis paralysis their plans to eventually become that thing.

Fact is, if you’re doing this, you need to recalibrate.

SLOW DOWN YOUR THINKING.

Stop trying to move, and let instinct lead the way.

Do you look but never find?

You’ll spend a lot of time “looking”

…for the right role, person, opportunity, dream…

most of life is looking.

Some people never stop looking, others don’t do it enough, but where you look is far more important than how you look.

The adventure of your life, meaning the life unique to you– that you are supposed to live, that only unfolds ONE way.

And that’s from acting on your own authentic ideas.

If your own inner voice didn’t narrate to you that you should start a Shopify store or some dumbass ecommerce business, then it probably isn’t your path.

It definitely wasn’t your idea, those come from inside-out, not youtube algorithm in.

And this is the danger of today, not getting sucked in by all the other voices of the world.

There’s nothing wrong with learning from others, but most people drown out their own voice from all the other inputs they’re inviting in.

Before you can decide how to spend your life or what you want in the short time you’re on this rock, you have detox.

Everything you watch, the people you like, you start to imitate and parrot their ideas.

Not because you want to, but because you can’t not— you’re human.

You have to drain yourself of society’s voice in order to live.

Only then can you hear your own ideas, and what your voice instructs might seem small or trivial, but you’ll know to obey it because it’s calling you to your path.

So, don’t follow the leader— follow the whisper, follow your voice.

Don’t parrot, speak.
