Carl Jung was a fearless explorer of the human soul. He dove into darkest corners of the mind to uncover the hidden forces that shape who we are.
He once said:
"Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge."
Here are his 9 lessons that shaped my life to success.
1. “Where your fear is, there is your task”
This is why the work-life balance & self-care movements help people become losers.
Discomfort is where the opportunity is
Find what you fear & look it in the eyes
...otherwise you become mediocre and the rewards are terrible.
How to apply it:
• Figure out what you fear
• Set challenges to face the fear
As you face more fears, your confidence increases
2. "The world will ask you who you are, and if you do not know, the world will tell you."
- The default path is a nightmare
- It leads people to live on auto-pilot and get told what to do
That’s why school, college & corporations can’t wait to tell you what you should do.
How to apply it:
• Figure out what you're going to do with your life
• Experiment
• Talk to people outside of your bubble
• Learn from failures and rejection instead of gurus & empty advice
Do the thing you can’t stop thinking about, despite how it feels.
3. “The word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”
- Darkness is a superpower
- Rock bottom is where you find your potential
- Dark times lead to amazing comebacks
How to apply it:
• Ask yourself why
• Let yourself be sad sometimes
• Balance sad times with happy times
• When you feel sad, think of the happy times
4. “I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become”
Psychologists told me I had mental illness. I embraced it.
Until I realized if I was not in control of my thoughts, there was nowhere to go.
Carl Jung + Tony Robbins helped me gain control again
How to apply it:
- All situations that happen to you come with a choice.
- Is this event going to empower you or destroy you? You get to decide.
Choose an empowering alternative.
5. “The most intense conflicts, if overcome, leave behind a sense of security and calm that is not easily disturbed”
• Most never fail which is why they never truly live.
• They watch other people live the life they should be living
Defeating failure makes you unstoppable
How to apply it:
- Think back to times you’ve failed or been rejected
- Let these events give you the confidence you can overcome hard things.
- If you overcame that tragic event, what other challenges might you be able to overcome?
Answer: anything
6. “The 1st half of life is devoted to forming a healthy ego, the 2nd half is going inward & letting go of it”
Once you let go of your ego reality looks different
How you spend time/energy transforms
Suddenly your
• life
• job
• network
• content consumption
...change
How to apply it:
- Ditch ego-driven tasks & pursuits right now
- Let the second part of your life start early, so you can experience true meaning
7. "You are what you do, not what you say you'll do"
Tomorrow doesn’t exist
What makes you think you’re too special for cancer?
I wasn’t
“Yesterday you said tomorrow”
Actions show people who you are. Everything else is a distraction that makes you a liar
Liars = broke
How to apply it:
• Look at your to-do list. Delete 90% of it.
• Then act today on what’s left.
• Create a sense of urgency.
• Live as if tomorrow doesn’t exist.
8. “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life & you will call it fate”
Carl Jung went so deep into the mind that some said he lost his mind
At 38, Carl started to see visions & hear voices
This period of his life produced his greatest wisdom
The unconscious mind doesn’t allow you to interrogate it
It’s where auto-pilot behavior/thinking occurs
We now know that we can have power over our unconscious mind through:
Mars Family is the world’s largest chocolate makers including Snickers, Mars, M&M's...
But their billion dollar fortune is built on Mu*d3rs, Child S|@very & Cover ups.
So secretive that even their headquarters is “anonymous.”
Let’s uncover the bitter truth behind this sugar empire.🧵
1. Children tr@ff!cked to collect Cocoa.
- In 2021, Mars was sued over allegations of forced child labor. 8+ Malian adults claimed to be trafficked as children slave labor on cocoa farms.
- Mars Inc. profited from the illegal work of children, some of whom were kidnapped or sold by their parents.
- The lawsuit even said, the children using machetes, chemicals, 70% of the world’s cocoa comes from West Africa, where Mars sources much of its chocolate.
2. Jacqueline Mars k!||ed a pregnant women and was just fined.
- In 2013, Jacqueline Mars, heir to more than $20 billion fortune, was driving an SUV that struck a minivan, driven by woman who was 8 month pregnant.
- The unborn baby died after his mother suffered multiple, critical injuries. An 86 year old woman was also killed. Five people were injured and hospitalized.
- Even though she pled guilty in court, she wasn't even sent to jail, just a small fine and the case was settled under the table.
Meet Aleister Crowley, known as “the wickedest man in the world.”
A poet, mountaineer, dr*g add!ct, b!s3xual magician & cu|t leader.
He founded his own religion, performed dark rituals, spoke to demons & still INSPIRED MILLIONS.
Here’s the insane life of the Devil himself. 🧵
1. The origin of The Beast 666.
- He was born in 1875 in England to a wealthy Christian family. His preacher father raised him under the strict Plymouth Brethren obsessed with Biblical literalism.
- when his father died, everything changed. Crowley was only 11, and Instead of clinging to faith, he rejected it violently.
- He started calling himself “The Beast 666,” openly mocking Christianity. This was the birth of the persona that would terrify society for decades.
2. He was a briiliant child, but not just in academics.
- At Cambridge, Crowley excelled in academics, poetry, chess, and languages. He could have lived the life of a respectable gentleman.
- But he was drawn to the forbidden. He joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a secret occult society that taught ritual magic.
- Even among magicians, Crowley stood out, arrogant, extreme, and reckless. His fellow occultists eventually cast him out, saying he was too dangerous even for them.
After hitting my first few million in net worth, I found myself surrounded by billionaires.
What I learned from them is mind blowing.
Here are the 10 habits that every successful man often adopt later in life.🧵
1. They Take Action.
The successful man doesn’t waste time overanalyzing every decision. He doesn’t drown in research or wait for the “perfect moment.”
He understands momentum is built by doing, not by planning. Action creates feedback. Feedback creates clarity. While others debate the best method, he experiments, adapts, and sharpens his edge through real-world execution.
He knows confidence is earned by collecting wins, not collecting ideas. And most importantly, he values progress over perfection. He may not always get it right on the first try—but he never gets left behind.
2. They Cut Off Low-Value Distractions Ruthlessly.
Successful men aren’t superhuman—they just protect their time like it’s their lifeblood. They don’t scroll aimlessly.
They don’t binge content that doesn’t serve them. They don’t keep company with people who drain their focus or distract them from the path.
Every habit, every input, every voice in their life is filtered through one lens: Does this serve my mission? If it doesn’t, it’s gone. They turn their phone off when they need to work.
They skip the party when there’s a bigger vision to build. Their discipline isn’t about self-denial—it’s about self-respect.
