I'm a 2 am sleeper, also. I think I need to change that. Globalization and social media have fragmented my world. I think I need to change that, also. Thanks for the post!
This is a timely piece because I personally struggle with the pursuit of perfection / over-optimization in most things in my life (business, investing, goals, relationships, etc).
I have really tried to apply being "directionally accurate" as of late...if I can be directionally accurate in what I do, and do this over time, things absolutely will take care of themselves.
I have to work hard at applying this mindset, but I think it has been helping 👍
This note is laced tightly with hope. I'm happy that you found pleasure and satisfaction on your path this week. As @duvay Knox advises: stay on the path!
Thank you for the great post Viam, manipulating your current emotions to swing back the momentum into positive activities is a life hack; that way you have the will power to recalibrate and make it work in your favour. Allow me to share my personal journal entry on my current axioms on the unproductive or lack of energy state of minds. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Each time I journal, I transcend from my lower being of uncoherent thoughts to eloquence, excellent verbatim and improved insight.
Sometimes, the best thing for yourself is to just be unproductive for a few days, neutralize the bickering external noise and double down on your thoughts – closing everything off will surely make you refocus, cultivate once lost, clarity and energy. How often do you get enlightenment that you are coherently your biggest impediment?
I have let things burn and not caring about the consequences, I have taken unfathomable risks this year- I inherently always console myself by reassuring my ignorant self that It always works out; what if it doesn’t work out? Let it all burn, in every situation I always learn from it: you never lose if you keep knowing more. The faster and knowledgeable about myself: habits, desires, decision making, values and belief system, the better I can develop my personalized portal of how I deal with life. I have been afraid of confrontation; a few years back I remember my father asking me why didn’t I tell him all along how I felt and where are my balls? Understand that being a man is all centred on manly virtues: authority, clarity, steadfast and industriousness. Running away from responsibilities will only bring resentment towards self. Your soul knows what you should be doing, your emotions and your mind have cunning outwitted you out of your own improvement – yet you possess the keys to both of those. I have always had vices to distract me from my own sorrows and shortcomings.
Commitment to transformation: does your motivation to your purpose and ideas out rightly outweigh the obstacles that may impede the actualization of worthy ideas? Many people claim they want to be successful with every vein in their body, however, their actions do not equate to desires. Either increase sacrifice or reduce desire. To be the man I envision myself to be, requires relentless work ethic, tunnel vision focus and unwavering perseverance. Am I willing to sacrifice the now for a better future?
I have been spending so much time worrying about other people’s lives, for a split second, forgetting that no one is far much superior to myself. Worry more about yourself, where are you in life, what is stopping yourself, how are you strategizing to outwit your impeding obstacles and limitations. Your main priority is and forever be you.
Our minds are constantly racing trying to get the next dopamine hit, the order of the day in this digital world. A vast majority people state that the economy is not conducive anymore, that our parents had it easier and we are doomed – negative talk gets to your subconscious, how many a times have you said detrimental and self-loathing statements in oblivion to their pompous effect on our subconscious? No matter the circumstances, stop inflicting negative thoughts to yourself - your words have impregnable gravitas, only you have the power to dictate what you hear and what you say. I may have made some terrible decisions; however, I am not doomed, there will be positives in the midst of dark abyss and chaos that always prevails.
So pleased to discover your discussions here. The open sharing of your life progress is very refreshing and compels me to focus on elements of my own life. I needed that. Thank you.

The 2 am sleep club.
The club where we know it's harmful but we keep doing it lol
I'm gonna try to do better this week.
I’ll try, too. I’ve tried so many times - ugh! We’ll meet again in a week.

Everytime I read your work I feel like you’re telling me personally - “stick to what you said you’ll do.” I hear you, loud and clear.

You only lose if you give up. Upwards we go!
