If you are too intelligent to give, you will never taste prosperity.

It is not enough to start doing it, you must keep growing in doing it. It's the way to get there.

IF I GET DEMENTIA...

1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.

If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things.

I’ll be much happier for it.

2. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child.

Talk to me like the adult that I am.

3. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed.

Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.

4. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

5. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.

6. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.

7. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house.

Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.

8. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.

I still have feelings though I may not even remember what you said after a few minutes of listening to it.

So sitting right where you are in this moment, you can choose what timeline to jump onto, and the stronger your belief in it is, the faster it will manifest. How do you strengthen your belief? By exposing yourself to the ideas you’re trying to manifest. That’s why (26)

...vision boards are so helpful. If you want to heal yourself, start reading articles about people healing themselves. If you want to make yourself sicker, read the garbage *they* program your mind with. Btw, newsflash, sickness does not exist in the way you think it does. (27)

You can heal yourself, you just need to believe you can to create a shift to that timeline. You change your beliefs by exposing your brain to new thoughts and concepts and ideas. You can actively work for your own betterment, or you can go with the flow- both of these (28)

...choices are equal, neither is right or wrong, they are both just a choice. The second you realize you choose what you see and experience, and the second you realize *they* know this and are trying to beat you to the punch, your entire world cracks open, the veil falls, (29)

...and life becomes literally infinitely more fun and exciting. To backtrack a little, Joy is where it’s at, no matter what is happening around you. Nobody dies at the end any more than you die in your dreams. Quantum immortality is a thing- research it. We don’t know (30)

Let me share with you a secret.

In my childhood, I often had what I later came to learn was called “Lucy Dreaming” which sometimes literally made me afraid of sleeping in the dark. It faded away as I grew up and in 2010 (18yo) a friend showed me a 9 hour long video laying out...

...nearly everything about the “illuminati” stuff as we know it.
After that day I got obsessed with researching “the reality” myself. At the same time the lucy dreams came back to me again. Some of them got worse, with me seeing dark-looking entities while locked in my body....

... I started researching specifics and personal experiences about lucy dreams. An old wise man that I had contacted (Bobby), told me to “not be afraid of them, you have power over them”. He also told me “when you enter that mode, you’re in a hallway that other entities have...

...access to, they know your fear and they’ll look certain way to feed from the fear that you give out when you notice them”.
Suddenly it all made sense to me and right after reading his email I could just feel I was really to chill if it (lucy dream) happens again.
Just like...

...that, a few days later, on a Sunday (day nap), it happened. While locked in my body, I was surprised that I was not afraid and for the first time I didn’t feel any entity’s presence. I went as far as trying to get out of my body, but halfway through I struggled so I laid...

We just got off the call between @polina_marinova and @jackbutcher during @visualizevalue office hours.

These are 9 incredibly useful mental frameworks discussed during the conversation.

// A Thread 👇 //

Framework for your work:

You never know who's reading, you never know who's watching.

Do quality work, all the time.

Framework for working on first principles:

Ask "Why?" until you get a valid answer.

"It has always been done this way" is not a valid one.

Framework for writing:

Have empathy for your reader.

Always write for the benefit of them, not your ego.

Framework for editing:

Ask yourself three questions:

1. Does this makes a point?
2. Does need this to be here?
3. Does this benefit the reader?

Here's the simple truth that most folk don't believe: traffic isn't inevitable.

We're not stuck with a set number of cars on our roads. We can control more than simply which streets cars can and cannot travel on and who has to suffer congestion.

We can give people the option to leave their car at home for one, some or all of their journeys.

We can build neighbourhoods that allow people to get rid of their cars altogether.

We can free ourselves from the car trap.

How do we do it? By providing alternatives.

Safe, effective, efficient and reliable public transportation.

Safe, direct, protected cycle routes.

Pleasant places to walk.

The next time you go for a drive -- look around you.

Every person you see on a bike, on a bus, or on their feet is someone who made the decision not to use a car.

Because of that choice, there's one less car in the queue ahead of you.

COMING UP: Against the backdrop of many inaccurate renditions in the local and foreign media about the life and times of General DOMKAT YAH BALI (1940 - 2020), we shall lay down the most precise and militarily accurate profile of the man that you have read thus far, later TODAY

1a. General Domkat Bali commenced his cadet preparatory training as a member of the Course 3 cohort of the Nigerian Military Training College, Kaduna, in April 1961(this is contrary to a report by a foreign medium which suggested that he began training at Sandhurst in April 1961)

1b. Some of his course mates in the NMTC Course 3 cohort were Lt Gen MI Wushishi, Maj Gen Geoffrey Ejiga, Colonel Ibrahim Taiwo, Brigadier Abbas Wali, Colonel ADS Wya et al. Most of Bali's mates trained at MONS. Only four made the cut for Sandhurst (Bali, Wya and two others)

1c. Bali reported for training at Sandhurst in Q1 1962 and was commissioned in December 1963. He and his mate, Abdul Wya, found themselves in the artillery corps.

2. Of the officers who were commissioned into the army between 1959 and 1966, Bali epitomised the finest pedigree for he not only attended Sandhurst but also the prestigious Royal College of Defence Studies - a feat which only a few such as Gens Bissala + Akinrinade managed

Thread:
There is very real Evil afoot in this world and every single one of us with eyes to see and ears to hear know it. It attacks each of us, daily.
My most prescient point? I'll get to that in a moment.

I am an unapologetically fervent Q follower.
Here is why:

I write about debt; couldn't resist the Strangelove reference 1/

Now, many people will surely start waving around frightening-looking projections, like those of the CBO 2/

But while I respect CBO's integrity, those long-run debt projections are much more questionable than people probably realize. Realistic projections, I (and many sensible economists) argue, are much less alarming 3/

CBO projects a big rise in spending as % of GDP, and if you don't look under the hood you might well assume that this is driven by fundamentals, especially the aging population 4/

Actually, though, the biggest component is a huge assumed rise in interest costs 5/

One of the sad things we know about abusive parenting is that it often propagates over generations.

I’m very glad my grandfather broke that chain and didn’t become his abusive step-father. Because it turns out that supportive parenting *also* propagates over generations.

About the time I was 9 I was pissed at my parents for something or other, as kids are. And I angrily thought, “When I have kids, I won’t do xxx to them.”
And then it occurred to me that I really liked who and how I was, and their rules had helped make me that.

So I decided I probably *should* parent the way they did.

In retrospect, that was probably a bit too much faith in nurture over nature. I was an only child, so I didn’t have a counter example. Having two kids abused me of *that* theory. :)

But I really value my supportive dad.

My father was *so* supportive of my endeavors, even as an adult, that my first wife’s dad asked her if there was something wrong with me that I needed that much support. (He was the dad she had to actively deceive to study math, and to come to the US).

And it wasn’t just big stuff, it was little things. Like when I had a cloth board for my cosmic wimpout game, and the edges were fraying, he surprised me by sewing a border on it. Or the bunk bed he helped me make for college to fit over my desk. And the stereo cabinet we built.

Thinking about the foolishness of God’s love vs the wisdom of humans.

“For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength.” (1 Corinthians 1:25)

In John’s gospel, Jesus commands that followers would “love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.” (John 15:12-13)

For Jesus-centric Christians (Christians that view the Bible through the lens of Jesus and actively follow Him, claiming that in Christ and with the help of the Holy Spirit, we are able to live like Jesus), what does this verse about wisdom mean for us?

What is human wisdom?

In the Bible we find many books including Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon.

Other human wisdom include mainstream “-isms.”

Laws and governments are built around human wisdom. We train up our children and societies’ criminals and occasionally our neighbors based on discipline by human wisdom.

Quick story of how I see things. It's going to be multiple tweets, so bear with me.

I have privilege. I'm white. I'm male. I was born in one of the richest countries in the world.

My parents had privilege. Its a dynastic thing. They are Tories. This has caused much 1/

conflict with them. Still does.

I went to boarding school at 9. Nothing says "I love you" less than kicking a kid out of their home at 9.

It affected me deeply. I didn't realise it till many years later and therapy.

However, I never felt I fitted in. Ever. To the system. 2/

I took psychedlics. Mushrooms. Heroic doses, as Terence McKenna would describe them. I don't condone this.

But, it showed me a path.

I took that path but my family hated me for it. I cared for them. They are family after all.

I changed direction. I took the blue pill. 3/

I was succesful in the capitalist machine. But I still rebelled. Or so I thought. But then, the rebellion and the machine merged.

I got lost. I started to see life and money as a way of measuring success, as so many do and I lost touch with that humanist used to be. I still 4/

yearned to be out of that system but I was part of that system as well. It was an existential crisis.

It killed my mental health. I lost touch with the beautiful people that really care about me and tread the right path and live their life that way.

I thought that I was 5/

@Will_Bunch OK, so 25 years ago I set off with 3 friends (one who I am now married to) to hike amongst the Dogon people of Eastern Mali. Little did I know that the research I made for that trip was to have this moment for me to shine. A thread:

1/ Many people ask me, what is my hiring criteria? What do I expect from my team members? How do I retain good talent?

Here lies the answer.

This tweet thread will be useful for CEOs and people who want to work with me.

2/ My previous tweet has 1.4k comments from people who want to work with me. I want to put it out here so that I attract the right talent. It's gonna be a zen-like post. Brace yourself.

3/ Good experiences that we crave in life have something in common.

The medium through which you experience it usually disappears.

Because if it doesn't disappear, then the experience is not good enough.

Let me explain...

4/ Imagine. If you are watching a very good movie on a small mobile screen, you are constantly reminded of the phone you are holding.

It is small, you keep getting notifications, and also it is hard to hold it in your hand all the time.

5/ However, if you watch the same good movie in a home theatre with a 100 inch 4K HD projector, you will forget that there is a screen and you will forget that you are in the theatre.

You are into the movie.

Just you and the movie.

The medium (the theatre) disappears.

Being away from family can be tough during the best of times but this pandemic has truly tested and damn near broken me.
It was only a matter of time that someone closer to you gets infected and that happened 3 weeks ago when my brother fell ill (he's recovered now).

The initial bout of panic and scrambling for travel arrangements (it was looking pretty bad for a while) as his condition started to deteriorate was thankfully short as we needed cool heads more than rash decisions (taking 2 flights and passing through 3 big airports).

My other brother and my sister had to physically stop my parents from being in the same room as him. Shouting was involved. All that was quite difficult to manage from a distance but we have learnt of thousands of families around the world go through much tougher situations.

The medics, I can't even imagine how they are managing. The governments and the people are both siding with the virus in this long war.
Its all just so baffling to me, and even more absurd with every passing day that we have imposed it upon ourselves. On the most vulnerable.

Anyway, my brother is an otherwise fit 34 years old cyclist and he loves to go hiking every chance he gets so he probably had the best chance out of whole family to recover from the pneumonia in both lungs and dropping oxygen levels...
I don't think either of my parents will.

Sweetest Revenge
I woke up this morning troubled about stuff and had vivid dreams about it too & then decided to write my views regarding the term "Forgiveness" or you can say that the sweetest Revenge ever.

It clicked my mind when my best friends said

"Forgive and forget from heart is difficult though" and they elaborated further that there are many times in life you come across people, they are rude cause you harm, they are going to do things that messed up your life and for a while u just think about forgiveness

But a person does the same thing over and over & every time you forgive them & keep doing this same thing over and over then what you can do, because you have to realize that things will never change & categorically stated that " you can't change someone's nature" & furthermore

"Once a snake always a snake".
On the other side I wanted to rebut that vague terms but don't know why I always failed to convey my opinion regarding that. I am on a view that we all sin, we all make mistakes but Allah always opened the door of forgiveness.

They cannot understand that "forgiveness is for you not for them". It benefits you not only after life but in this life as well. Let it go gives us satisfaction. Every religion emphasised about forgiveness and to forget. One of my best friend always quote the saying that

5 Ways To Develop Discipline And Use It To Crush Your Goals.

Motivation will not make you successful.

Discipline will.

Look at the lives of truly successful people and you'll see this is true. (Thread)

Many people misunderstand what motivation means.

They think motivation is a 'positive feeling' that helps you do things.

When they feel this certain kind of way, they take action.

But when they don't feel this 'positive feeling' they resign.

That isn't motivation.

Motivation is a combination of two words:

Motive + Action.

Motivation is the motive behind the action.

It is the reason for the action.

The why!

For example, why do you want to start a business?

So you can have freedom, yeah?

That is the motivation.

It is that 'why' that should provide you the determination to take action.

But even with a strong 'why' many people still struggle with staying dedicated to their goals.

Why?

They lack discipline.

Today I'll share 5 ways you can develop godlike discipline to crush your goals.

Discipline from the the word 'disciple' means 'to train.'

When you decide to discipline yourself what you are saying is that you want to

'Train yourself to become a disciple to certain principles and ways of life.'

Here are the 5 ways to Get It Done:

When I was a kid, I played Deus Ex. I was about 17 years old at the time.

I was able to understand that DX was a cartoon version of its subject matter. But it nonetheless captured my imagination, asking

"What if the entire planet could be managed by mere mortals?"

In the story, of course, this has disastrous consequences. The systems are too vast and complex. The answer ends up being:

"They'd ruin everybody's life until they ran the whole system off a cliff."

But the genie was out of the bottle, for my young mind at least. The idea of secret cabals of the ultra wealthy and politically connected, exerting influence over the unfolding of history...

It was appealing. To imagine at least that someone was in a driver's seat.

Somewhere.

And look, it's not like there aren't clubs.

There are, literally, clubs. The Ivy League buys little hangouts in different major cities, so alums can efficiently transact that lucrative network. There's douchier, nouveau riche versions of the same. Cliques, associations, name it.

But it turns out, there's no board room somewhere secret.

In practice, there's no global board of directors. The system isn't that tidy. It's all the chaotic grasping of people desperate to keep themselves safe, and therefore powerful.

The alignment of the elites is emergent.
