If you replaced every excuse you ever make with the core question(s) of “how is this problem resulting from a leadership issue on my end & what can i do right now to patch up this problem, no matter how poorly?”

You’ll 10x your life in 12 calendar months.

Take your power back.
You are larger than any problem. You’ll also be very surprised at how much lower the quality of solution requried IS to “solve the problem well enough to get you to the next problem” then what you’ve built it up to in your mind to be

Patch, go, patch go, then make better as you see obvious opportunities to do so

Exploding your life & freeing yourself is ironically infinitely less effort than holding all the shit you hate & despise together

The former is 1 conversation away. The latter is a lifetime of perpetual energetic exhaustion

if u don't like ur life, realize how monstrously fucking hard u r going at sustaining it. U r actively catching all the pieces, gluing them together, being neurotic about them falling back off, catching them when they fall again, etc. Genuinely heroic amounts of perpetual exhaustion to maintain the cell walls of the prison that you bang on & cry over at 1:31 am.

When u truly see this, u'll just laugh The problem is the invisible forcefield of FEAR that is wrapping & entrenching you in this slave-life of perpetual infinity labor

"just quit"
"just end it"
"just bail"

You: "i can't"

What you falsely think is real & supports the "can't" = where the dagger needs to pierce

Skill progression is solving bottlenecks. Requires discernment to pointpoint & identify

When u suck at something u gotta know how u suck at it. Then once u know what u suck at u gotta know how to train that thing specifically. Then u get back in, see how much u did or didn’t progress, and repeat

If u did progress u know ur training worked. If u didn’t progress then u know ur training didn’g work

If u progressed (training worked) but u didn’t get any better @ overall result then u trained the wrong thing / didn’t train the weakest part(s) of the chain / pinpointed wrong bottleneck

Once u can identify what is wrong, what to work on & how to train the specific thing w/ ton of low-risk micro reps & then testing it in battlefield to see how good the training was or is - u can speed thru any skillstack People don’t have the foundational mental model (or IQ?) to test & see if things extrapolate to other things or not. This is absolute base level

I can chip foam golfballs in my living room & it actually gets me better at real chipping. How do I know? Because I practiced a ton with the foam obes and then my chipping in a real golf round was noticably better. Translated.

If i practiced a ton using foam and i wasn’t better (or worse) then I know my training isn’t helping me so i’d need a new strat

The closer u can pinpoint the issue, the more specifically u can dial in the training

What nobody tells you is the larget income jumps of your life will actually start with expenses, not wins

U need ur psyche to get raped at level 2 to be free enough to move to level 3

Repeat forever

The attachment to preservation is what stops ppl from ascending because u gotta throw javelins to get 1 to hit. But in order to throw 1 u gotta take 1 out of the pocket. And if u miss u gotta take out another. So if ur scared to go below 8 & ur now at 6, u r fucked. If a javelin landing is +10, then Ironically u may need to be okay with going down to +3 to then get a hit & jump to +13 from +8 This is what making more or doing more looks like btw. It’s bigger swings at higher levels with the CONFIDENCE that those bigger swings/drawdowns (or spending drawdowns) are following mathmatics so ur not freaking out in micro

It’s not u get to level 8, then chill then jump to level 9

It’s u start from 8, fire, miss, fire miss, then go down to 3 to get a hit that takes u up to 13

Then from 13 u might go down to 4-5 to get to 20

A lot of your mindset issues come down to unarticulated math

If you ran the numbers, you’d have the clarity you need to confidently move forwrad

Math kills ambiguity

Math kills fear You’re only afraid to talk to a girl cuz u don’t know the math

Only afraid to lauch ur biz cuz u don’t know the math

Only afraid to chadspend because you don’t know the math

Let reality calm you. But u must first LOOK at it

U know what the problems in your life are but you just delay fixing them for fucking ever

Stop delaying and just fix one problem. Who cares if its the "right" solution, just patch it up & move on to the next one.

People way too worried about "is this the right duct tape". Who gives a fuck. Is the boat leaking? No? Great. Now ur sailing.

Confront, patch, test. If it's not working, re-patch until it "works for you". It won't be pretty or "societally normal" but u gotta train ur mind to genuinely not give a fuck. If it solves ur problem it's fair game, regardless of appearance. If u can get urself to operate off of ur own patches, u can make progress 100x faster than u ever have before. Almost all lost speed is due to worrying abut the normality/technicality of the patch.

just fix the problem "standard" or "societally appropriate" shit is NPC/normie behavior. it is literally designed to enslave, slow down, bureaucratize, destroy, entrap, constrain, restrict, castrate

Lifting your eyes up to societal level to "normalcy-compare" any solution is instant way to nuke your own intuition / instinct / read. Absolute spiritual death for zero actual benefit/ROI

Ur intuition knows how to fix ur problem. So just fix it like that. It will work after u refine it a bit. Refuse the urge to compare it to normality & work with what it is & use that to move on to next one. Then u'll have a chain of 2 solves. Then 3. And ur magically in ur own lane, progressing upstream via ur own style

It is almost unfathomable how much more the body knows compared to the mind

I know all I feel. But i can’t articulate all I feel. It’s like the iceberg pic. 99.999999% of knowledge in body while .0000001% is articulated

The body is almost “all knowing”. Many factors & variables work with it that we don’t “consider” part of the equation. Nonphysical + nonmaterial + the divine all intertwined

If your body feels something is off or wrong for you, you are probably right. I always trust body over my mind because my body will know when my mind yet won’t know why This is why the key is loving urself. Cuz if u love urself u’ll build the self esteem to trust urself. And trusting urself is trusting that directionality compass in ur soul that fires off 24/7. Trusting urself is obeying it despite whatever it telling u that may go against logic or “may make less sense”.

Life DESIGN will give you more meaning than almost anything INDIVIDUALLY that you’re doing, because it encompasses all

Design is what will wake you up in the morning. When EVERY PIECE serves a purpose - even the pieces that serve no purpose.

Take a look at your pieces & holistically weave them into a vision that makes you excited. Create big targets u know u can hit. Fuck normal & fuck other people’s definitions of normal.

Go big. Make it weird (eccentric in the sense that it’s “very you”). Make it exciting. Tailor your life to yourself. Tee up your own perfect-for-you swings & fucking launch.

The struggle will only become fun when YOUR design is the one being played out. Ur gna hate ur life being someone else’s design bot.

Hit drawing board, fuck with the pieces / plan until ur soul sings, then caffeinate & execute EVERY DAY. Ball moves forward, absolutely non-negotiable. Even if just 1 micro inch.

If u can place commitment to seeing your design through till the end, and sacrifice to that altar daily by a MINIMUM of at least 1 micro inch of movement, every day for as long as it takes

God will not only reward you THEN, but also forever, as you blend into the type of man that can make progress, “even in the storm”. If u know u’ll never quit & will simply design your way around ANY obstacle

How can u fail?

U can’t. Unless u stop.

Ur mind is only variable that can overcome all other variables. And it is intertwined WITHIN nature. WITHIN the universe. God’s intelligent design runs deep

One interesting facet of normie psyche i've learned about by existing on twitter for 2 years is the concept of "feeling behind"

I get DM's like this all of the time. "i feel behind for my age". When i first started receiving these I genuinely didn't know what the fuck these DM's meant because I had quite literally never viewed life through that lens. I then asked some kid what he meant and he goes "i'm just behind my friends". I was like uhhh in what metric? In making less per year? lmfao. What a strange way to construct reality. Your entire orientation dependent on everyone that isn't you🤣🤣

After talking to this kid I then learned that normies have an imagined concept of "ahead" in their brain, and if they are farther along than that imagined concept, they feel good. If they aren't, they don't. And it depends on what their other normie friends do.

"if I have a $75k/yr job, then I'm ahead!!"🤣🤣
"if I have a graduate degree but am $100k in debt, i'm ahead!!!!"

Retards

Horrible way to live lmao. If I had this weird comparison metric in my brain I wouldn't have bailed on the autopilot 6-fig sales job at 25.

There is literally no bar. Nobody does anything. Nobody tries at anything. Put in 10% of self-generated effort into anything independently and u r in the 1%

Have to get rid of the general "i'm behind". It means you're literally a bot, optimizing for nothing specific. I was 55k in debt at 26 taking a shot on a business & i could have given a fuck where anyone placed me. Was I ahead? Was i behind? who the fuck knows or cares. it doesn't even make any sense. If doesn't even have aj actual definition, because it depends on a specific metric. And if that specific metric is ONLY money, u r very spiritually gay. "oh i make $10k more in my salaried job than sam but i can't go anywhere and hate my life"

bots For the ND's (nondiscerners) - i'm not attacking OP by the way - his tweet just popped up on my feed. Looks like he makes cool knives. I am attacking only the IDEA of "behind".

When i learned this was a thing I was like "oh shit no wonder the average person is monstrously depressed. their literal entire life orientation is foundationally constructed on comparing their life to other peoples".

Then they ask questions like "how do i stop caring what others think"
"how do i get over rejection"
"how do i (insert whatever fear)"

Brother u r already cooked lmao. Your foundation is already erroneous. U have to literally start at the deepest part of ur psyche, explode & rebuild.

It's all very simple:

pick a goal that excites you, make a plan, fix your energy, attack daily. That's quite literally all it is. Nobody does THAT. That's the secret. "oh no i better charge you $100,000 for that".

"i'm behind"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

N*gga you GAY

If you fix your energy everything will basically fix itself. But there's a "two week shit period" that you have to go through to get to "actual energy". An amount of energy/power you probably haven't touched before, unless you have. And it's not hard to touch

1) No coffee/stims/alch
2) Real foods
3) 8 hours of sleep with same wake/sleep cycle
4) Workout 4x/week
5) Drink enough water

That's literally it. So retardedly simple that most people go "wah" & don't actually understand the power in it because they haven't done it. When you cold turkey the bullshit you will be tired / low energy for about 14 days. Ur hunger will also maxxxxrev. In this 14 day window, Just sleep when u need to & eat as much as u need to. "free pass" for discipline on the minors, the MAJOR is just making it to day 14.

Then once ur there ur energy will be at levels u can't fathom. Then u go "oh", and have now developed a system to always get yourself back up there when you need it ur not unmotivated, u have no energy

ur not undisciplined, u have no energy

ur not lost, u have no energy

it IS actually your root problem. But you subconsciously nuke it over & over again because you're afraid to feel

There’s a lot of people that u essentially have 2 dominate with love. Lovemog them into submission

They have weird personality defenses they’ve built up that are just flat out annoying as fuck. They either purposely poke/instigate or habitually pull away during any micro conflict. SUPER fucking annoying to deal with, but their internal world craves closeness & appreciation. They r just ironically behaving in a manner that attracts the opposite in a weird form of self-fulfilling prophecy

Depending on context sometimes i will see thru the shell/facade & can pierce internals with compassion. U can sometimes turn these ppl & get them to chill the fuck out. It is mostly futile tho. Everyone deserves what they get, but u can pick at divine order almost like its a hobby. To see if a change can be made just in & of itself like a mini science experiment

Only those who romanticize life & can play with the abstract can deal with these ppl. Everyone else just avoids them due to their monstrous, glaring character flaws. Their inability to deal with people due to very high emotional fragility/volatility

Most futile to try & pierce but it can be fun for sport. Some do drop the bullshit & become normal humans temporarily. U connect w/ the soul & not the construction. If that is even possible The issue is if you’re the type of person that is able to hover above their bullshit long enough to try & love-dagger them out of their retarded loops like a targeted spearfisherman, u will have a short fuse. Unbeknownst to them they get a good 2-3 opportunities for the spear to land, and if it doesn’t u will move on & just consider them a lost cause. Sad in a way but that’s divine order at play. Can’t save anyone, but maybe can guide a couple lost 1’s into a better direction. Essentially is a detached pity situation. U know pain so u want to trust & break other’s pain spells when they’re too obvious to ignore. Again, mostly futile. But rewarding sometimes. Fun part is u get 2 pick & choose

Guys think “master game” and “master sales” means “get any bitch” or “sell any client”

Not how it works

Mastering both is getting better at COMMUNICATING your value so the lowest on the discernment rung are able to go “oh DiS TiNG Is GoOOD”. But those are ONLY of the 1’s in the “YES” category, of which not everyone is in

If it’s not a fit, it’s not a fit. And this is the blindspot. The whitebelt thinks “Imma cOnVeRt aLL PrOspEcTs”

The blackbelt knows that if the client has signs of retardation, he’s probably a retard. That’s a guy you would never WANT to close.

The fit is the fit. Eventually u close basically all fits, but YOU reject all non-fits. If ur fumbling FITS, skill issue The self-esteem horseshoe is when you realize you don’t WANT to close everyone becsuse why tf would you close a bad fit. Makes ZERO sense.

“Oh I GoT The cLoSe!”. That is insecure POV. But is it the RIGHT close?

Focus shifts from young “winning at all” to more mature “winning correctly”

For a woman to get married, she quite literally only has to be 2 things:

1) not fat
2) not annoying

The uanmarried non-annoyings are fat (but actually also annoying) and the non-fats who think they aren’t annoying (and genuinely believe they are “waiting for the right man” because “i’m the right woman” are astronomically annoying but don’t realize it (self-awareness issue).

Wives get wifed. Zero exceptions. Any wifey i’ve ever met gets wifed fast as fuck if somehow they end up temporarily single

And all the non-wifeys just wife stay single forever, never getting wifed, convincing themselves “there’s a problem with men”. 😂

Lesson in there.

Getting rich “slow” is dead. Old world was make a milli in 7 years. Now You can make million(s) in 2-3 years. The J-curve is much more aggressive.

There are also a fuckton of ways for you to get rich. It’s actually overwhelming, and they all work. But you have to develop the skill of “choosing and running the process” or you’re completely fucked because there are infinite “bright & shiny objects” to distract you.

Don’t “dabble around and see what works”. Not how the world works. COMMIT to 1 and MAKE IT work. And THAT is actually the skill - having the SIGHT to know what to commit to.

When you begin you don’t know enough about the world to say “yep that opportunity is way better than that one”. You have no fucking clue. So you could be in an opportunity that you THINK is a 9/10 but id actually a 1/10. OR you think it’s a 1/10 but it’s actually a 9/10. You simply can’t “see it”.

Then the guy who CAN discern properly days “just commit!”. But what he doesn’t tell you is that he has ACQUIRED the sight to KNOW what is worth committing to.

Beginners don’t have this. They are hopelessly lost in the blindness of inexperience. Ur best bet is 2 pick something that someone to ur similar personality type has succeeded in, & refuse to stop until u make it work at a micro level. 1 win, 1 success, $1. Ironically this is all super fucking natural. What mentor are you naturally drawn to? Just go that way. Don’t overthink it. And then when it doesn’t work as fast as u want it to (bcuz u suck rn cuz ur a beginner), and they say “yo it works keep going”, u just keep going.

That’s literally the secret. 99% will ignore

Ironically how you get everything is just letting go of all need for the result (accepting a reality if you were to never get it on the front end) and just having fun from that place of zero fucks 2 give

But at the same time knowing that is actually how you actually get it Letting go of it & not giving a fuck about it is actually the stance you take if you REALLY FUCKING WANT IT & refuse to ever not get it

Most can’t pull from opposite ends

The trust fall is how you push the hardest

Women starving for IRL convo. I will throw on my kewtest fit & go outside & it is infinite invitations

When u approach people don’t go into it with frame “will they like me” or “do they want me to be here”

Go into convo with “gonna provide value & they can take it or leave it, and if they leave it, they are retarded ND’s (nondiscerners) & it is never worth energy to convert a nondiscerner because they can only ever revert back to their nondsicerning”

My biz partner was like “me want girl”. Had convo with 1 chick. “Hey love ur fit”. Worked. They’ve been together since.

The chasm between dating app reality/online reality and actual reality is actually hilarious. Almost hard to fathom

Zero comp out there brother If ur gna use apps u gotta be completely detached. They r super gay if u take them seriously. That woman is cooked anyway brother i promise u lmfao. Especially if in a city. But even if she’s not. Just have some fucking IRL convos and that is ur answer. U will walk by dimes all the time literally anywhere. The only barrier to entry is literally not being gay. But that’s not even the barrier anymore. Am in NY rn & all I see are women dating soys lmao. Weird inverted dynamics here

My boy just sent me a memory we had from 5 years ago when I lived in Portland. That went quick as fuck

One day that will say 50 years. That is a REAL inevitability. It WILL eventually be 50 years into the future.

I always think about the 50-year-into-the-future version of me laughing at all the problems i have right now & saying to myself now “send it brother, you’ll wish you did”

Very helpful perspective to minimize resistance u have in the 1st person POV. It really is fleeting. It really isn’t that big of a deal.

Full send There’s an alternate “gaygrant” timeline where I never quit that job. I’m still there making the same amount living the same life.

Pretty insane to think about. All the joy in life is from climbing mountains, reflecting when u get 2 the top, then climbing bigger mountains

I genuinely hate spending time in normie groups or gatherings. U r just full on castrated. It is modern torture 4 me

There will inevitably be handful of very fragile-minded people who will just whine about the truth when it comes up or cry about some objectively hilarious edgy joke. So then u have 2 either deal with their minds exploding & u r the bad guy (the truth is actually the bad guy, u r just the messenger) or have 2 hold anything truthful in & just play pretend fantasy land with a bunch of confused insecures that r desperately running from their own shadow. It is also usually people who side with the WEAK side of ordeals/situations instead of the strong, so u just have 2 either sit there & participate in the cope (i physically can’t) or play devils advocate in which kills all vibes

“Yay! Fun!” “Hey what if instead of whining about not finding enough coupons to use you just made more money?”

Then ur off 2 the races

You learn the most about yourself by getting into shit situations, exiting them, & then reflecting on what the fuck just happened. That's literally it.

Anything else doesn't really work.

All u gotta do 2 develop ur self-awareness is just follow ur intuition. That's it. When u MOVE forward things will shift underneath you without you noticing & you'll end up in a new "i don't actually like this" situation. U just magically appear there, again. But it's always new variables & new context. And THAT is where the self-discovery is found. Studying the deltas between the prediction & the reality, then being able to pinpoint the variables that contributed to the deltas of each. each "loop" gets you MORE SPECIFIC on what the variables actually are. There's infinite variables within variables. When you're 20 you might be like "i like sales... oooohhh... wwwowww...." then when you're 28 it's some shit like "i love dynamic problem-solving/systems design in real time & sales is one avenue of which that has tended to express itself"

U get narrower & narrower & narrower which allows you to optimize for tighter & tighter targets. Add in a fuckton of sidequests and u have a pretty 'conscious' life

Yes I know many professional women who "travel for work" (not just working remote, traveling & fucking) & they don't do what the solo travel chicks do. But it's for the exact reason you just mentioned - there is a reputational liability involved. The incentive structure is there 2 stop it. U mess up and every1 knows it at work? You're cooked. Simple as that. Not worth the risk. What if they see you? Plus all the certainty involved? Not worth it.

Contrast that to "literally nobody here knows you & they're all leaving anyway". Incentive structure 2 herps ville U don't learn shit about yourself traveling alone lmfao. That is the massive fucking irony of all of this.

You learn a LOT about YOURSELF and SOMEONE ELSE when you travel as a DUO, you basically learn NOTHING about yourself TRAVELING ALONE. When you're alone it is EMPTY. U DISCOVER NOTHING, LEARN NOTHING, U R JUST IN A MENTAL LIMBO.

"oh no Grant you can't just call the entire travel hoe paradigm a scam!"

Yes, it is a scam. They just want to fuck with zero rep damage. "DiSocVeRinG MySELF"🤣🤣🤣. Get a husband & have some babies hoe, you'll learn a lot more. ohw8

Nomad life is trash for dating. But it's great for FUCKING.

This is why any guy who's traveled looks at the 'omg i'm finding myself solo traveling' women with monstrous skeptcism. These chicks BE fuckin. But they'll call it whatever they wanna call it 2 rationalize it. It is DICK, no *actual* commitment. Punchline. Now - do they all do it? No. But do a LOT of them do it? YES. Have seen it firsthand many, many times. Girl comes through town & you VISUALLY see her with 5+ dudes (one after the other) in different locations. Wish i was kidding. This is very common. It isn't 1 time, 2 times, 3 times. This is a LOT of times that u see this. MANY, MANY women. Eventually you're able to just identify the archetype & can see it in the face. Anyone who disagrees that this exists is simply lying to you, and any guy who travels & actually goes out & talks to people has seen this VERY often. It just is what it is, because the incentive on the woman's side is 2 fuck, so can't really blame them. Fuck all they want & have it not touch their reputation? Why not! lol. Inb4 "i Twaveled for 2 yrs And DiDn'T kISs 1 Guy!". Props to you felicia. Don't believe it at all. i can see the truth imprinted on ur forehead wrinkles & btw ur hands smell like aged Roquefort

DATING (i guess it depends what you call dating) is virtually impossible when you're in a new location every 3 months. GREAT to fuck, horrible to build connections. "oh hey it was great 2 meet u, c u later, my visa expired". Is THAT dating? I'd say it's just fucking with a deadline, but women like to rationalize it all by calling it dating.

To OP's point tho (seems like a handsome young gentleman) - 99% of nomads are desperately lonely searching & clinging to any modicum of community-esque type situation they can find. It's like moths to a light. "dId Sum1 SaY RetReAt?" "DiD Sum1 SAy DwuMCircLe?" "DiD Sum1 SAy NoMA DiDnner"hahahahaha. There's actually a very uniquely-flavored, weird isolation-type apathy with a monstrous majority of them. They aren't actually solo-wolf types. They REALLY just want community, but ironically left their community to go find another one? makes no sense really if they were aware of their own wiring. I don't know why you'd 'solo travel' unless you wanted to be solo. "imma meet new people!". For 3 months? okay. Then u r alone again. It's like the traveling snakeoil salesman, except its ur life. Very 'shallow' emotionally with some 'great long distance friends' pepper'd in.

The wild minority of cases (and something I was able to find, bless god) is you end up with a squaa. Tight-knit group who likes the same stuff. But that requires multiple poeple 2 b living in same place for extended time. VERY VERY RARE, but absolute gold once u find it I chose smoke this week. I balance out being strapped to a desk & grinding on computer all day with internet beefs
