Keep It Stupid

What’s up Fool,

Are you familiar with the KISS acronym (keep it simple, stupid)?

If you’re looking for a value to live your life by, take this one. This has been by far the most beneficial lesson I’ve learned in my life, and it’s the easiest one to implement.

Overthinking = Sinking.

Luck follows the bold, but bold follows the dumb. You’ve got to get out of your own way. As an intelligent person- I just couldn’t succeed.

There was no chance.

I’d sit there and scheme, plan, plot, then try to manipulate circumstances to my favor. It never worked.

Paradoxically, I took this as a sign that MORE information was what I needed. So, I journeyed to become more intelligent. I read… voraciously.

Like eating, the more I tried the more I craved.

Self-improvement became a lifestyle, not a hobby. I was all in- adopting the recommended habits, cold-showering daily, meditating, re-aligning my chakras through parting with low-energy vampires- I was consumed.

The only thing I lived for was this idea- that to be successful, I had to be miserable.

And mission accomplished- not the success, the misery.

So there, with glowing aura, self-preserving energy, and habits to rival a robot, I found myself EMPTY.

Just like that, I let go.

Well… I moved to a different state where I then had no time to do all those jerk off improvement habits, because alone and broke I had to work.

Here is the irony of it all. I began to see real results when I didn’t do all those bullshit habits, but rather only worked on my problem areas. #ImaGoddamnDetective

Once I started focusing on skills that I was inclined for then I began to see results. Today, I’ve got the career, I’m more fulfilled than I’ve ever been and the funny part about it all? I haven’t read a book in months.

I’m not saying don’t learn, I’m saying learn for yourself.

Some random author can’t tell you what’s right for you. Only you can do that through trial and error.

So dumb it down and go try shit.
