Your most recent life changing realization?

Another realization:
There may come a point where your closest friends/relatives are the ones who are unhappy for your successes.

I've had role models turn into the worst models. I've had close relatives try to back stab me . Relatives that have shown contempt towards my business and personal successes in a variety of ways.

Keep your circle small.

Those people were never your close friends. I've had similar experiences with "friends" who try to leech information off me, say that I'm lucky, and are green with envy. The best you can do is to keep your distance from these people. Don't confront them - they'll just spread rumors behind your back and ruin your reputation. Do what Ben Franklin did - win your enemies over as allies, yet keep a psychological distance. As for relatives, just because they're blood-related does not mean you have to be close to them.

Like with all things in life, you have to strategize carefully if you want to be successful, and this includes relationships and friendships. I have under 5 friends in my inner circle, and I keep it at that. No tears. No emotional turmoils. No backstabbing or shittalking. We just shoot the shit and contribute to each other's lives in the forms of information exchange and simply having fun. I chose my friends carefully, and we thoroughly enjoy each others' company.

Here's my realization -

What you focus attention on creates your subjective world. If you concentrate attention on problems, then your world will be full of obstacles. Focus on the positive side of the situation and it becomes easier to live. You will enlarge, to believe in free will.

My most recent revelation:

Most of the revelations I have in my life are temporal, superficial, and only meaingful within the context of whatever mindset/emotional state I'm in at the moment.

As soon as I think I've found an "absolute truth" that will serve as a guide throughout life, time has a funny way of challenging/debunking it shortly after.

We do things as a means to an end.

The problem is it never ends.

We spend our life always chasing something.

What if the means was the end?
 
I've been thinking about this and for me it was the realisation that I should always be honest about what I think and feel. Bad things have usually followed in the long run when I've not been completely honest with myself or others in the short term.
 
That weed makes you extremely unproductive and really dumb. And no matter what people say, it is really fucking addictive if you do it day in and day out for years.
It also totally dissociates you from people and completely takes your motivation to do anything away.
 
That the people actively subverting the USA today are also the same people responsible for communist Russia.

That DumDum & BoFaggety are both retarded fuckbags for resurrecting this total piece of shit thread, and should be hammered into oblivion.

Maybe lay off the bongs, bros.

That my self esteem hinges solely on getting likes from WF.

All joking aside a couple thoughts come to mind.

- when having a discussion with my wife, never bring up past events. It is completely unproductive and hinders your ability to evolve your relationship.
- having a nice car doesn't make you cool
- spending more time with your kids is highly important. I have two daughters and as Chris Rock said, I have one duty and that is to keep them off the pole.
- being self employed isn't about how much money you make, it's about the lifestyle it affords you.
- I am the only one who cares about my golf score. No one else gives a flying fuck what you did on the 9th hole two days ago.
 
1. Life becomes much easier when you don't watch the news.
2. Religion only works if you don't use it to judge others.
3. Every human being on the planet originates from Africa.
4. Take walks.
5. You're not your fucking khakis.
 
1) Don't settle down and have a family because everyone else does.

2) Working hard at doing what you love isn't work at all.

3) Respect your parents, no matter what.
 
1. When you've just seen the 738th exact rip of the same diet lander, using the same cloaked FB ads, to push YAGO (Yet Another Garcinia Offer), with the same skinny brunette in a white bikini with a tape measure around her waist, the niche juusssttt might possibly be played out.


2. I clearly shouldn't have wasted those 3 years working my way through law school, when I could have just been a sovereign lawyer-in-fact for way less work or thought (no degree or training required!) and helped lots of people chase their dreams of defrauding corporations, denying personal responsibility, and blaming it the legal fiction version of themselves......
