Self-education is the number 1 mentor.

'Well, Idk what to study. So I need someone to guide me.'

Your curiosity knows what you should be studying.

Something about you is divine.

You have the answers.

Don't run away.

Leverage the internet & curiosities for a deadly combo.

Knowledge is power. But only when it applies to YOUR life.

And to get the knowledge that applies to your life, you need to take risks.

You need to spend time.

Rather than trying to 'save' time.

Around 2012 is when all the hype around 'mentors' came in.

One guy said it.

And it became a punchline.

You NEED a mentor to succeed, they said.

All the great ones had a mentor, they said.

Some fields, its great to have a mentor.

But you don't need them.

The only person you need is yourself.

And your intangibles.

Your intangibles include your:

-Will power
-Ability to ask the right questions
-Creativity
-Emotional intelligence

And one of the most important forces....

-Curiosity

Something about curiosity.

Can't quite put my finger on it.

But it's primal.

Look at a little kid who just learned language.

Asking questions left & right.

The gut instinct is primal for the body.

Curiosity is primal for the mind.

You are getting curious about certain things for a reason.

Don't just brush it under the rug.

The beauty is that you are living in the information age.

You have access to the internet.

The ability to seek answers to your curiosity.

The human brain is wired to want to stay informed.

But you need to be the person who guides the compass.

Because if you don't get curious about anything that will help you Level Up...

Then you will just get curious about gossip.

Gossip is a form of curiosity.

Look at people who have a tough time paying attention.

But if you tell them you have an embarrassing story about someone else...

Their eyes widen.

When you lack a north star, your curiosity seeking mind looks for gossip.

Talking about others.

Forming opinions on other humans.

Doing nothing for your future.

Just an animal brained clown residing on the lower consciousness scale.

Gotta wake up already.

From the billions of years the universe has existed, you just happen to be living in the best era ever.

In terms of technology.

In terms of information.

In terms of accountability... well not quite.

Unfortunately, plenty of people don't practice accountability.

Accountability requires courage.

The ability to lead yourself requires grit & humility.

Most don't have that.

So despite living in the best era of human existence, their negative brain looks for excuses.

Stay away from these people.

They are poison for the spirit.

Your curiosities will guide you out of darkness.

Your curiosity is your divine mind speaking to you

I grew up as a shy kid who could barely speak English.

But I got curious about public speaking at age 21 ish.

No clue why.

Shrugged it off initially.

This curiosity made no sense whatsover.

I'm a shy kid who can barely speak english.

The fuck can I do with public speaking?

But the divine mind kept speaking to me.

Kept telling me to try it out.

'Try it out Armani, quit second guessing me...'

So eventually, I folded.

Began public speaking.

Choked my first speech.

Quit for MONTHS.

But the curiosity kept saying... to go back to Toastmasters again.

It'll make sense later

So I went back.

And kept going back until it did make sense.

Gave tons of speeches.

Rose up to External VP. Recruited tons of members to the club.

And now spread the public speaking message via my brand.

But I started off as a shy kid who could barely speak English.

Your curiosities don't make sense...

UNTIL IT DOES.

We all got something divine in us.

Can't quite put my finger on it.

But seen it too many times in my life to ignore.

In the era of information, staying clueless is a choice.

Don't be a victim.

Be a victor.

Ask Google the right questions rather than waiting on the sidelines for a mentor.

Mentor yourself.

Self-education is the gateway to the divine mind.

Most people are operating on a lower consciousness.

Not hating on them though. Much love to them.

But take the path not taken.

Make yourself a genius & an artist.

And never look back.

This is a lifelong commitment.

But a commitment that will give you the most fulfillment.

Teach yourself.

Once you begin the process...

You realize you can learn from anyone and everything.

You owe it to yourself to owe yourself.

Things come and go.

But the divine mind will always be by your side.

Now go get whats yours & tap into your infinite power.
