Optimize to the MAX!
These days you’re about a moment away from a “this is how to optimize your life” slap to the head.
You know what I’m talking about, the videos & articles of “this is how to have more energy”, “this is how not to be a fat ass”, “this is how to have a fat ass!”, ETC, ETC. The “how to live your life” disco never stops.
The majority of it needs to be ignored. Now I’m not referring to the obvious shit, like “don’t be a crackhead” (though don’t do drugs, & if you’re smoking weed you’d better have bank, like a million liquid; otherwise, you’re a crackhead).
“You piece of shit, how dare you judge me!”
You may say; but, that’s the way of the world.
The time I dabbled in ganja land killed my motivation & made me dull. I fucking hate not being on point. So, out of love, don’t be a crackhead. Okay, end of side rant.
It can be easy & almost intoxicating to go down the road of self help optimization. I tried many things, sleeping routines, eating routines, writing routines, ass getting routines & in time I always fell back into a void; a place of no footing, just floating. That void was me; instead of finding my own footing, I was too busy trying to walk in the steps of others.
There are things to be learned from the millions of screaming voices, but more importantly, there are things to be learned about yourself. Finding what works for you, that’s the magic. Imagine you live a life & never find out who you are?
This is your permission, your sign to venture into the unknown of yourself. Dive in, find what makes your engine purr not & not run like a heap.
P.S Don’t use this as an excuse to be a fucking asshole.
