“Find what you love and let it kill you."
I gave up my corporate career to let online writing kill me.
Find the thing you want to kill you. Take the subject you’re crazy about & make it your entire life.
Work on it after hours. Then have this wild task take over your career.

“People are strange: they are constantly angered by trivial things,
But on a major matter like totally wasting their lives, they hardly seem to notice.”
The biggest debate we should have is with ourselves. What the heck are you doing in life?
Stop majoring in minor things.

“An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way”
The smartest people talk simply
This is why online writers are becoming so stupidly wealthy.
Cheat code to the universe: simplicity
Take complexity. Make it simple.

“The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it –
Basically because you feel good when you are near or with them”
Most people aren’t free. They hate their life, desperate for an escape.
But fear stops them from finding one.
Find free souls and ask them questions.

“People run from rain but sit in bathtubs full of water”
Life is a paradox.
We say we don’t want one thing but then secretly let it into our lives in other forms.
When you realize how conflicted the average person is you understand why we suffer.

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must live”
If life were a video game played on a phone, you wouldn’t play it safe.
Nope.
You’d push the limits, step on landmines, blow stuff up, enter cheat codes, and have fun.
What the hell have you got to lose?

“They disgust me, the way they wait for death with as much passion as a traffic signal”
Cruising through life is effectively waiting for death.
Obsession is the compass to the good life. It starts with not giving a f*ck.

“The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence”
Once you learn the power of confidence, you can use it to get unfair results you haven’t even earned yet.
To get there, understand all obstacles are good

“The 9-5 is one of the greatest atrocities sprung upon mankind. You give your life away to a function that doesn’t interest you”

"How the hell could a person enjoy being
awakened at 6:30 AM
leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss
brush teeth & hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money
for somebody else & were asked to be grateful for the opportunity?"

“You have to die a few times before you can really live”
Dying is:
Divorce
Rejection
Getting fired
Going bankrupt
Facing public humiliation
Watching someone you love die
They can make or break you. When you die inside a few times, you become braver.
That's really living.
