If you’re never looking at someone path and seeing how to carve it for yourself, how do you know what’s possible?
⠀
How pathetic a life to look around and see no one you’d say “show me how you’ve built what you’ve built” to.
⠀
Sadly, that’s our culture.
Soft men leading soft lives.
⠀
If you’re confident, you’re arrogant.
If you’re building wealth, you’re privileged.
If you’re in shape and take looks seriously, you’re a narcissist.
If you’re masculine, you’re toxic.
⠀
Welcome to the new “normal.”
It was Dostoevsky who said,
⠀
“The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.”
⠀
That’s the Force of Average (coined by my boy, Stewman) and it’s a cancer of our culture.
⠀
My circle is constantly leveling me up, in every area. It HAS to be this way.
⠀
I’ve got the bell notification of for any time @hardcorecloser posts, because I know its going to inspire me to go harder. We’ve been linked up since 2018 and the trajectory has been to the moon.
⠀
That’s what your circle is supposed to do.
⠀
I’m constantly comparing where I’m at to what I want, and I’m looking to my brothers, friends and mentors to show me how and hold me accountable to my word and vision.
⠀
Why?
Because they’ve DONE IT and I’m comparing where I am to where they are.
⠀
This isn’t out of a sole, petty, insecure sense of lack…
⠀
This is out of a mindset of abundance that says, “if you can, the f*ck I can’t!”
⠀
This is why real always recognizes real.
⠀
There’s an edge to it that few understand.
⠀
There’s a chaos we seek to put order to.
⠀
There’s a passion and purpose that is relentless.
⠀
If you want to stay average, cool. Keep comparing yourself to yourself. You’ll stay there.
⠀
You want to rise above?
