There are 3 types of things:
-Things you WILL do
-Things you WON’T do
-Things you MAY do
Many things you MAY do. Many things can happen by accident.
Infinitely many,
Infinitely many can happen,
finitely many will happen
finite is infinitely smaller than infinity,
therefore what you MAY DO is NO FOUNDATION for building anything, no gauge for predicting anything, and no card in negotiation
WHAT YOU WILL DO is THE foundation.
There’s plenty that you will do and a little that you may do. What you WILL DO is THE foundation
The rest is extra
What-you-will-DO is what you will do. Period
So when you say you will do it — you WILL do it
You will keep your word.
Those are the things you control.
Therefore THOSE are the measures of your POWER.
Not what you may-do — which is your potential — and which is fleeting.
POWER is that which you DO CONTROL.
This is what you must ABSOLUTELY address first, before all else.
Because this is real. This is tangible
Good fortune can take you very far… ONLY NOT! FUCK GOOD FORTUNE !!!!
You learn NOTHING then
You gained NO POWER
POWER is that which you DO CONTROL
You getting a GIFT from lady fortune is NOT something you control
Therefore you got the gift but you gained NO POWER
Only thing you gained is fucking delusion
Now you’re powerless and delusional.
If you are TRULY serious about LIVING,
Serious about LIVING WELL,
then you see that LIVING is what happens today,
It’s EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU TODAY
That does involve your work in this world, your position, things you own, people around you, it does,
but what it REALLY involves is WHAT YOU YOURSELF DID, EVERY SINGLE MOMENT, and EVERY SINGLE THOUGHT YOU HAD…
This is TRUE life. Not what you did yesterday or will do someday. Not your mere circumstance,
Your TRUE LIFE is WHAT YOU DID. And DID TODAY, period.
And that what you did — you either did it SERIOUSLY or not.
You either said you’d do it and DID IT — or you said one thing and thought another and then did whatever other thing, like a confused monkey
Therefore,
There are things you will do and things you won’t do
You will be EXTREMELY SELECTIVE with what you say you “WILL DO”
Because you understand that your power, your effectiveness — hinges SOLELY on those FEW THINGS which you DO, INDEED, control. And you manifest that control by 100% DOING IT, when you said you would
Therefore you will make a VERY clear separation between things you WILL DO, and things you MAY DO or WON’T DO.
You will say “NO”. A lot of “NO”.
You don’t have to say “no” all the time. If you can juggle million fucking things — please do.
But when you SAY YOU DO IT — YOU DO IT.
When you SAY YOU CONTROL IT — YOU CONTROL IT.
And the rest is a “NO”
And of course, this forces you to give up your many delusions about what you’re capable of, what a “success” you will be, what a “success” you are, how “good” you are, how great you look, blablabla
Instead of “I know” — now you say “I DON’T KNOW”.
Instead of “I can do it” — you now say “I CAN’T DO IT”
Instead of million promises — you say “IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN”
Instead of “potential” — you say there’s a “possibility”. But NO PROMISES.
And instead of “I don’t have time” — you say “I won’t do it because doing THIS and THAT is MORE FUCKIGN IMPORTANT TO ME”
And instead of “yes” — you say “fuck you”
you can’t please everyone.
you can’t please anyone
AND Instead of ANY EXCUSES, ANY FUCKING EXCUSES — you say “I FUCKED UP. I TOTALLY THOUGHT I HAD IT UNDER CONTROL. I WAS AN IGNORANT FOOL”
THIS is the true path to confidence, mind you
THIS is the true path to competence, mind you
THIS is the true power, mind you
NOT ANYTHING ON THE OUTSIDE. It’s ENTIRELY, ABSOLUTELY ENTIRELY IN YOUR HANDS
The outside ever changes. We live like KINGS once did — but do we feel like kings?
FUCK NO
Because KINGLINESS is within
You have to ACT like a KING, every day — to feel like a king, to BE the KING.
And you need power like the true king
Which is the power to DO WHAT YOU SAY
