What’s hatnin’ Fool,
I don’t know where you’re at in your journey but I wanted to share some accidental, yet effective methods, that led to my scaling rock bottom and landing on top.
First, if you’re depressed, low, emotionally bankrupt- put the dreams and goals on hold. Beta version of you has no business making plans for alpha.
And as a side note, there is so much to be gained from floating around, so quit worrying about your dumbass timeline. I know, “but it sucks, it’s painful, I’m having dark thoughts…” what they don’t tell you is it’s necessary to get to where you need to go. If it wasn’t you wouldn’t being going through it.
Second, explore (yourself). It doesn’t matter if its journaling, talking to a therapist (that one aunt who always listens), or long walks on the beach wearing all white, looking like you’re about to drop the next #1 pop song.
You need to get in touch with your uniqueness.
For the first time in my life I’m starting to see career success. I’ve wanted this since my filling-the-diaper years, but didn’t know how to get here.
And no, I didn’t know exactly what the hell I wanted to be when I grew up, but I was unwaveringly focused to reach peak success (being worshiped for being me).
Anyway, that luckily never happened and because of that, I reached De-enlightenment. What’s that? It’s when you’re artificially depressed but spiritually hopeful.
The best thing I did was let go. I’m saying this like it all happened so fast but it took about 6 years.
That’s 6 years of superficial pursuits, ego-stroking delusions, and lots of failure.
After I let go of the idea of what I thought I wanted, I came back to the real world. I opened myself to other things, by just trying them.
And that casual playful approach led me here.
If you’re going to get out and live the good life, first you need to allow yourself to figure out who you are. Not who you want to be, but who you are beneath all your social conditioning. When you have that, success is a byproduct.
