Go forward

I’m not trying to sound like Mr. Smiley Positive Guy. That guy ignores the hard truth. That guy thinks a positive attitude will solve problems. It won’t. But neither will dwelling on the problem. No. Accept reality, but focus on the solution. Take that issue, take that setback, take that problem, and turn it into something good. Go forward. And, if you’re part of a team, that attitude will spread throughout.

Discipline

Everyone wants freedom. We want to be physically free and mentally free. We want to be financially free and we want more free time. But where does that freedom come from? How do we get it? The answer is the opposite of freedom. The answer is discipline. You want more free time? Follow a more disciplined time-management system. You want financial freedom? Implement long-term financial discipline in your life. Do you want to be physically free to move how you want, and to be free from many health issues caused by poor lifestyle choices? Then you have to have the discipline to eat healthy food and consistently work out. We all want freedom. Discipline is the only way to get it.

Wenn eine Situation eskaliert #Detachment ist der Schlüssel zur souveränen Führung. Hier mal was nicht-technisches zu #Leadership

#JockoWillink #Ownership #Book

#neostoicism is a mutation of ancient aretaic virtues toward service of the #technocracy.
It is #managerial #ethics disguised as #virtue.
Rather than learning actual self-discipline, it is subsumption for #productivity.
Instead of accepting what can't be changed, it is excuses for collective responsibilities.
Instead of self-mastery it is optimizing performance.

The neo-stocism comes from #redpill "father figures": #JordanPeterson, #ElonMusk, #AndrewTate, #DanBilzerian, #JackDonovan, #JockoWillink, #DavidGoggins, #CurtisYarvin, and #RyanHoliday . The relationship between this, nazi neoclassicism, and modern fascism are not accidents.

A productive stoic is an ideal subject of work and rule: self-monitoring, and compliant.

I know what to do

For me, fully internalizing this one powerful piece of inspiring profanity has been transformative. But I still find that returning regularly to the well makes all this work even better. So I downloaded both of the Goggins’s audiobooks and worked through them in little chunks on my morning walks over the period of a month. Then I moved on to Peter Attia’s Outlive, and Jocko Willink’s Extreme Ownership.

I really do know what I should be doing. (I have no idea if you, or anyone else, does too.) But I can tell you that even though I know… it’s still tough to do the soul-crushing work. I’ve not read any of the books above—although Outlive is on my to-read pile.

On Changing a Routine
“The next few minutes or days or months–sure, you own them, and you can put them to whatever use you choose. But just because you’ve been using your time in a particular way for a long time doesn’t mean you need to keep doing that.” — Seth Godin, The Best Possible Use
