HOW TO BECOME AN ALCHEMIST

|| Thread ||

Gold can’t be purified without fire

Man can’t become refined without adversity.

Adversity takes on different forms;

- Failures
- Insecurities
- Loss
- Pain
- Poverty
- Injuries / sickness

Suffering is necessary, you are more likely to awaken from a nightmare than from a sweet dream.

Life is like a game of poker -

You don’t get to choose the hand you are dealt, but it’s entirely up to you how to play the hand.

Alchemy is the remedy

It is the art of turning;

- Pain into art
- Mistakes into wisdom
- Failures into stepping stones
- Suffering into consciousness
- Struggles into success stories

The gods have given you base metals (body & brain), mixed with a lot of impurities.

This is how to refine yourself into gold;

1 - Purify yourself;

Stop identifying as your old self

Let go of your vices

Renounce your victim mentality

Filter pessimism & negativity & from your psyche.

2 - Liquify yourself;

Be flexible and open-minded.

Quit boxing yourself into idiotic labels

Be water my friend.

3 - Mold yourself;

Who am I?

What kind of man do I want to become?

What do I want to be praised for at my funeral?

Keep these questions at heart, and they will reset your mind.

4 - Push yourself;

Throw yourself out of your comfort zone.

To change your life, change your daily actions.

Start doing the things you need to self-actualize, regardless of how hard they seem.

5 - Fortify yourself:

It will take an indeterminate time for your alchemy to be complete.

Your patience will be tested, but you must be be persistent & relentless to the point that you laugh at anything life throws at you to derail you.

Your résumé is the catalog of your suffering

Your strength is the catalog of the pain you’ve endured

Your success is the catalog of the failures you pushed through.

Start thinking of how to turn your handicaps into assets.

The moment you decide to change, everything will begin to fall in place for your evolution

Trust the process, and the path will reveal itself.
