Are you going to let external circumstances dictate how your life plays out?

OR ARE YOU GONNA GRAB LIFE BY THE THROAT AND CLAIM WHAT IS YOURS?

Fuck ANY excuse you tell yourself.

Every time that little voice pops up - just drown it out; no matter what it says it’s just bullshit bullshit bullshit

Any excuse is Cope,
ANYTHING is possible

Just do what has to be done
If I can convince ONE PERSON to delete the negative mental programming that is SO PERVASIVE in our society, then I have done my job

If you can then pass on this awareness to others, then we can change the world
Fear is the tool that they use to keep you under control

Eliminate the fear, you eliminate the mechanism through which you are kept weak, sick, depressed and compliant

No longer are you scared to take a risk
I liken awareness to the crumbling of a sand tower

When the first grain falls?
all else will come down with it eventually, it just takes time.

The waves of realisation will hit the egoic construction of lower level thought - allowing you to pursue anything
All it takes is one thought or experience that breaks the glass that was separating you from your true potential

maybe you realised you were doing something wrong
or saw that one of your problems was self-inflicted
something that, through pain or discomfort was brought to the forefront of your mind,

we can only accept and tolerate bad mental circumstances for a while - the lies we tell ourselves only last for a certain period of time
The beautiful thing about the truth is that it will come to light eventually.

You cannot run from it or escape it, only obscure it briefly.

All our problems drift away when we stop lying to ourselves and blaming outside circumstances for our internal state.
What do we have control over?

Our actions and our thoughts.

Everything else that we say 'controls' or 'affects' us is self inflicted.

Nothing can affect or control us unless we choose to make it so.

NO grave insult, no words said in anger can stir us unless WE CHOOSE SO.
Knowing that YOU ALONE Are the master of your reality in EVERY CAPACITY is the key to living a quality life.

Ascend from the lower tier orders of thinking.

Become who you Are.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.
THREAD: 12 Things Everyone Should Know About IQ

1. IQ is one of the most heritable psychological traits – that is, individual differences in IQ are strongly associated with individual differences in genes (at least in fairly typical modern environments). https://t.co/3XxzW9bxLE


2. The heritability of IQ *increases* from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, the effect of the shared environment largely fades away. In other words, when it comes to IQ, nature becomes more important as we get older, nurture less.
https://t.co/UqtS1lpw3n


3. IQ scores have been increasing for the last century or so, a phenomenon known as the Flynn effect. https://t.co/sCZvCst3hw (N ≈ 4 million)

(Note that the Flynn effect shows that IQ isn't 100% genetic; it doesn't show that it's 100% environmental.)


4. IQ predicts many important real world outcomes.

For example, though far from perfect, IQ is the single-best predictor of job performance we have – much better than Emotional Intelligence, the Big Five, Grit, etc. https://t.co/rKUgKDAAVx https://t.co/DWbVI8QSU3


5. Higher IQ is associated with a lower risk of death from most causes, including cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, most forms of cancer, homicide, suicide, and accident. https://t.co/PJjGNyeQRA (N = 728,160)
