Fuck "the way it's supposed to be done". Do it how YOU THE FUCK WANNA DO IT. That is how you add SPEED to your life, and genuinely leapfrog the trajectory/progress you're making INSTANTANEOUSLY

people telling u to cold email but u can just pick up the phone & rip? Do that.

people saying "build muh slide deck" but u have better idea? do that

people saying "blah blah blah im a npc blah blah blah"? (obviously)

Ask yourself "how would I get this done as quickly as possible assuming I had zero fucking clue how other people did it". Tap into your NATURAL TENDENCIES, TRUST that GOD GAVE YOU THE FACULTIES, and fly at the target without all of the added bullshit resistance of wondering how "mUhOThERpERson" did it or wants you to do it. Who Gyves thy Phuk.

Even as a test experiment, just drop the gaymap u think u gotta follow & just pull out the dub ur way. Let the blueprint go & ask yourself "how the fuck do i wanna do this tho"

Chances are that answer is NOT like anything else you see but WILL speed you the fuck up tremendously

No rules. Game of 1.

I got roasted by my HS football coaches EVERY FUCKING DAY because I was literally technique-retarded. I played basketball & just said "fuck it, i'll play football". They put me at D end, had zero clue how to do anything. But I was faster than anyone I played against, so I'd quite literally just go around them or under them. Our D-line coach was on vikings & he'd continually lose his shit at my technique, but who gave a fuck

Got the sack record

Obviously there is a discernment that has to be made here. Meaning, YES the fundamentals are absolutely essential (basically everything you want in life is just getting better than everyone else at the literal basics, because they literally don't do them) - but at the SAME time, there IS an edge in how YOU would do something naturally. God designed it all in. Ur body is a supergenius & levels u can't comprehend. it KNOWS. Now - i'm not saying "listen to it blindly" - but I AM saying "study what its telling you and try to incorporate the wisdom you're being fed INTO your technique, as opposed to completely ignoring it & gaslighting yourself because some retard in authority told you it was bad"

Sauce on their face, but your way

Btw you can cure ur depression by saying “fuck it” and abandoning the boring retarded life ur pretending to live to make other people “accept you..?” to just fucking full send it on ur dreams giving zero fucks about “what it looks like on muhh paper”. Fuck ur paper.

Quit the gayjob and go find a part time one doing something thats super fucking fun for you. If u wanna do music just go find engineer & be his slave & use studio 24/7. Happiness is just a couple “fuck its” away. Fuck making other people happy, enjoy this shit & go after what makes ur soul sing. Anything else is LITERALLY retarded & monstrous waste of actual time

Funny part now with internet is if u really fuck with it u can just film it & ball from content creation. Literally insane lmao. If i wanted to fucking bowl all day I’d rip my bowling brand & make way more than some gay 6-figure corporate job that rapes my soul lmao. Hometown friends in shambles that retard bowler mcgee printing their yearly salaries in 30 days smiling & ripping strikes with 70 year old men in striped socks. But that’s the fucking internet. The differentiator is now if ur fucking alive inside or not. The path literally doesn’t matter. U go FUN WAY, u’ll figure it out. Can’t afford shit on the boring way anyway. Might as well STILL be poor but now u love ur fucking days

I quit my 6-fig corp sales job in early 20’s & only regret was not doing it way sooner. Ur life doesn’t have to be a cage lmao, so many ways to live it.

Life design

Don’t know who needs to hear this but you can literally sidestep all of your nagging identity issues by just creating a new character

U want to be super social? Mentally create “Social (ur name). Identity prompt: this guy is super social+confident+always knows what to say

Then you just go use that character in the real world. Go play the role. Go play pretend.

If u actually do this (do it but while pretending) u will realize the actions were always inside of u, and the blocker was ur mind/identity. “But this isnt me, i’m just pretending”

Problem is u fail to realize it literally is u, cuz ur doing it. Then u realize ur actually as many of these characters as u wanna be, and “who you are” is an umbrella entity that incorporates & includes all of them.

Usually to enact this u must first call who u r now (name 1.0). U must realize uve played older roles with prompts u didnt create.

Once u cut all internal strings that stop u from playing pretend (which actually isnt pretend) u then realize how ur always on ur own way.

Simply psychologically side-step then incorporate (but incorporation happens naturally with enough de-pedestaling of trait+familiarity). To pretend is to familiarize, and to familiarize is to see what it really is, which is a smaller version of what uve built it up in ur mind to be (that it isnt).

My first conscious one was “business Grant”. I was getting ragdolled by clients at 18 so i needed to create a shark. After 2-3 months business Grant was me, and i was running show with my negotiations.

Repeat on whatever issue u think ur facing. Even a “Transformation” is attacked indirectly. “Pretend” = a psychological detachment mechanism that can be harnessed long enough until it “actually lands”. Can just view it like a practice facility/code once u delete all negative connotations with it. If u truly see its usecase, ull cut the negative strings. But takes a lot of reframing.

Lots of fun ways to solve ur personal/emotional issues/sticking points. Most won’t exhaust evey fucking solution to get over them. Fuck it - no rules

If you’re paying attention, you actually have a different “character” for each person you meet anyway already. Its very slight differences, but nonetheless different versions of you. You’re doing this already, just without it being self-generated. And isn’t that strange?

Difference is - those little characters haven’t been labeled & identified - but if you label/identify them you can basically package them up into little psychological prompts & take them with you for whenever

Another one i have is “spanish Grant”. Felt weird learning spanish as “me” so i just said fuck it & created a new guy. Spanish Grant is very interesting, much more flowy & expressive.

These things are already happening & you’re already doing & using them - might as well just make it conscious. Ur mind is already using set prompts/characters - so fuck it

It’s kinda like realizing you have 150 tools in the toobelt but randomly circling only 15 of them and saying (only these are what I use).

Lot of good shit hiding in ur shadow self. U’ve disowned for whatever reason but can go & find. “Playing pretend” does actually let u bring it to the light without u making a big deal out of it. Then when its there u can basically just grab it & fix ur actual shit for real so it sits on solid foundation. Just 1 way of many. No rules

Almost all of the shit that will actually turn the tides for you are totally unpredictable and are things u could have literally predicted 0%. WHITE SWANS

Monstrous random W’s/tools/people of high quality will fly at your face at astronomical speeds if u just start doing shit. This is why going outside is so fucking important, and this is why kicking up dust is so fucking important

Once u generate a little momentum tornado & start SENDING SHIT & DOING SHIT and BEING PLACES and PARTICIPATING IN THINGS and engaging with life & the uncertainty that comes with it - the wildest magic happens. Every time. Total “thats fucking amazings” flying at u randomly. They just keep infinity spawning across the dash if ur in the car ripping down the highway

Do shit, be places, have convos. Start stuff, meet people, have fun. The best shit you can’t even predict, but u know it will find u if ur meeting it all half way

If ur sitting alone in ur room being a failureveg ur brain goes “i have zero idea how any of my plans will even work. I genuinely have no idea”

No shit sherlock. Ur not supposed to know. Thats the whole fucking point. thats literally why this shit is fun lmao. Thats not ur fucking job. Ur job is to delusionally convince urself ur intuitive internal compass screaming at u to go for that specific thing was placed into your soul by God himself & your job is to blindly follow that shit IN FULL with a 100% gigasend/balls out knowing everything you fucking need/want will collide with your face randomly & magically as you’re flying down the galactic highway of experience on the path your internal GPS pointed you to go. Your job is to fucking get up & start glididing through the experience of life giving zero fucks because you’re riding the convictions of your own intuitions forward into the infinite abyss of magic & infinity resource. U send & God provides. Ur gaymind thinks ur walking into a dark abyss/cave alone when ur actually walking into a friendly autoshop with every fucking trinket/part required to make your shit putter forward just long enough to make it to the end of the path thats in your soul. The infinity spring. Some avatar planet type shit, but full of shit so helpful that u literally couldn’t have thought of it, but God did. Ur like “woah, that’s way better than what i was trying to do or find”. It just appears. But u gotta get the fuck up and get out there to get dripped in the magicfluff

“All” is a hyperbolic absolute (life is also full of wins that you attack visciously & then actually hit in the most amazing fashion) but you get my point.

Weird combo of calling ur own shots & them landing because of YOU, but also landing sort-of because of you but not really.

FANTASTIC

You can’t really kill a good relationship

Can throw anything at it. Distance, people, logistical problems, time

It just endures

This tweet was about male friendship & dudes responding with “she’s fucking tyrone”

Find God

from your chair in the corner

Really study/simulate the psyche that responds with THAT message to a tweet about relationships that endure

Absolutely fucking cooked 😂😂😂😂
