Is there an actual time where it’s not advantageous to be fluid and adaptable? How about your values, softy?
Right now, you’re living through the internet age– and we could make the argument that in some ways, the internet is MORE real than real life.
I mean, careers moved over to the digital world, opportunities are seized there, and if you don’t have an online chemtrail you basically don’t exist.
This is a good thing— well, unless you prefer staying an outsider, dropped off-grid, who camps in the woods and is anti-technology. Nothing wrong with that by the way, just not me.
The opportunity for you is insane…. but you do have the obvious obstacle– we’re human beings.
We want what we want, and oftentimes what we want is stupid.
And that brings me to the point of this post and a hard truth about the universe: Change is the Law.
People are adaptable in the wrong places– and inauthentic in assbackwards ways. You’ve heard the “Be Like Water” from Bruce Lee?
The idea is basically to take no shape so you’re fluid and ready for anything.
But— Success on the internet is determined by authenticity– shape.
That’s where people get weird. They “Like Water” their values and opinions, but hold on to dead dreams.
A formula for failure, and likely depression.
Success comes from authenticity. You are a thing– you were born to this thing. You’ve got quirks, traits, unique experiences, and looking outward trying to destiny steal someone else’s path is peak failure.
If you’re inspired by someone, that doesn’t mean you should go do what they do.
In short, be fluid and adaptable when you are problem solving. When you’re being creative, open your mind to possibility.
But when it comes to goals, success, and this internet thing– there’s only one way to succeed: Be the ruthless individual you are.
