Answering this question honestly, can almost always predict the outcome
(Sales, Dates, Friendships...anything)
Are you inviting them to your kingdom
Or are you inviting yourself into their kingdom?
*Thread* - Needing nothing attracts everything
Building your kingdom
Answering this question honestly, can almost always predict the outcome
(Sales, Dates, Friendships...anything)
Are you inviting them to your kingdom
Or are you inviting yourself into their kingdom?
Firm & grounded
In the country (life) you’ve built
You shine so bright those who see the lighthouse are attracted to come
Getting out of the sea into certainty
To the promise land, where their needs & desires are met
Build your country
Then you need nothing
Needing nothing attracts everything
Now when you invite people to your kingdom
it is genuinely more needed/desired by them
Because you live there, you already have it & invite them to share in it
You need it more than they do
When you port they will check your passport
Make you jump through hoops, qualify yourself, prove yourself, chase
Build your kingdom & you’ll never need to chase again
You’ll already have what others chase
More you have the more you give
More you give the more you receive
When you are lost at sea you have nothing to give
So you must always chase for entry into other people’s reality & often get rejected
Needing approval & access to that reality
Your emotional well-being is in the hands of others reactions to you
A limiting & suffocating feeling
Ignore other kingdoms for now
Drive back home. You may not like what you see
Do not chase the butterfly
Build your kingdom both internally (mindsets, frame, beliefs, state)
And externally (reflections of your state/beliefs/mindsets)
- income, hobbies, relationships, social circle, etc

I’m torn on how to approach the idea of luck. I’m the first to admit that I am one of the luckiest people on the planet. To be born into a prosperous American family in 1960 with smart parents is to start life on third base. The odds against my very existence are astronomical.
I’ve always felt that the luckiest people I know had a talent for recognizing circumstances, not of their own making, that were conducive to a favorable outcome and their ability to quickly take advantage of them.
In other words, dumb luck was just that, it required no awareness on the person’s part, whereas “smart” luck involved awareness followed by action before the circumstances changed.
So, was I “lucky” to be born when I was—nothing I had any control over—and that I came of age just as huge databases and computers were advancing to the point where I could use those tools to write “What Works on Wall Street?” Absolutely.
Was I lucky to start my stock market investments near the peak of interest rates which allowed me to spend the majority of my adult life in a falling rate environment? Yup.

"Luck is the flip side of risk. They are mirrored cousins, driven by the same thing: You are one person in a 7 billion player game, and the accidental impact of other people\u2019s actions can be more consequential than your own."

Fake chats claiming to be from the Irish African community are being disseminated by the far right in order to suggest that violence is imminent from #BLM supporters. This is straight out of the QAnon and Proud Boys playbook. Spread the word. Protest safely. #georgenkencho
There is co-ordination across the far right in Ireland now to stir both left and right in the hopes of creating a race war. Think critically! Fascists see the tragic killing of #georgenkencho, the grief of his community and pending investigation as a flashpoint for action.
Across Telegram, Twitter and Facebook disinformation is being peddled on the back of these tragic events. From false photographs to the tactics ofwhite supremacy, the far right is clumsily trying to drive hate against minority groups and figureheads.
Declan Ganley’s Burkean group and the incel wing of National Party (Gearóid Murphy, Mick O’Keeffe & Co.) as well as all the usuals are concerted in their efforts to demonstrate their white supremacist cred. The quiet parts are today being said out loud.
The best thing you can do is challenge disinformation and report posts where engagement isn’t appropriate. Many of these are blatantly racist posts designed to drive recruitment to NP and other Nationalist groups. By all means protest but stay safe.

Be aware, the images the #farright are sharing in the hopes of starting a race war, are not of the SPAR employee that was punched. They\u2019re older photos of a Everton fan. Be aware of the information you\u2019re sharing and that it may be false. Always #factcheck #GeorgeNkencho pic.twitter.com/4c9w4CMk5h

There is a concerted effort in far-right Telegram groups to try and incite violence on street by targetting people for racist online abuse following the killing of George Nkencho

This follows on and is part of a misinformation campaign to polarise communities at this time.
