Another newsletter, seriously?!
This may sound "Greek" to you.
I might come off as a messiah-complex-cult-leader.
A risk I'm willing to take.
Because I've:
Done decades of pain-staking introspection. (instead of Netflix and chill)
Dropped the need to maintain a carefully curated persona (a drain on energy)
Dealt with crippling self-doubt and diminishing myself to fit the mold
A process that made me bulletproof to acid cynicism.
Grow an elephant-thick skin. (irrelevant opinion can't penetrate)
Develop a muscle of discernment. (To know when to speak, and when to shut up)
It also forced me to surrender a savior-complex, dishing out unsolicited advice.
And learn to take my medicine first.
But this isn't about me.
It's about YOU.
Your deepest heart's desires.
Your dreams.
Your visions.
It's about the beating heart of personal and cultural change.
Purpose-driven entrepreneurs.
Creative visionaries.
Thriving artists.
The driving force building the next cultural renaissance.
This isn't some raving lunatic dream of mine.
Tell me you’re not exhausted playing the status quo game.
Tired of the current state of affairs, the collective meta-crisis unfolding as we speak.
Tell me this is impractical Utopian thinking we've seen fail time and time again.
You might be right.
This technocratic pinnacle of human civilization is after all one of those Utopian promises of the industrial age which clearly failed to deliver.
Despite the countless sacrifices.
That's exactly where we got it wrong.
Sacrificing the individual for "the greater good".
Rhetoric that would have Mao Zedong and Stalin smile in their graves.
We've seen this play out too many times to fall for the same trap.
So let's focus on YOU, in the here, and NOW instead.
Re-calibrate the center of your HUMAN experience.
Make this a ride worth tales to tell for ages to come.
Look.
I don't pretend to have all the answers.
I'm not claiming spooky knowledge nor power.
My secret sauce?
An unf*ckwithable center of gravity! AKA Knowledge of Self.
(let that sink in Carl Sagan)
Here to hold up a mirror to your pretty face.
As a reminder of YOUR unf*ckwithability.
(take that to the bank, why don’t ya)
I'm just a doorman really.
(insert HODOR meme)
So you’ve got a foot in the door.
To a life on your own damn terms.
You could mistake me for your typical window cleaner.
Wiping dirt, helping you again see…
Your vision in HD crystal clarity.
And savor its astonishing beauty.
(someone get a critic in here, stat!)
Look in the obsidian-black mirror.
And say fu*k it.
I'm in.
Join a growing Creed of Creative Rebels you’d want on speed dial for the new game.
What are you waiting for?
