I have a close friend who used to post very old pictures of me on my birthdays. I know it wasn’t out of malice; probably just to show how far we’ve come, but it didn't sit well with me, so I had to tell him. It’s not that I’m ashamed of my past, but come on, I have newer, better-looking photos now. I’ve walked that path, and it belongs in the past. I’ve evolved.
Jim Iyke said something that applies perfectly here: avoid people who can’t see you beyond what they used to know about you, who still look at you through the same lens as ten years ago, regardless of how much you’ve achieved. That’s disrespect, and it’s being taken for granted.
“I will never engage you as the man I’ve met today. I will endeavor to advance my cause, my analysis and engage the man you’ve become. That’s is the highest form of respect I’ll pay you and not taking you for granted.
The people you should avoid in your life are people who never see you, but see your past and cannot get pass it. The people who have known you, they see you down the path and they find it unacceptable because of what you’ve become. Do everything you can to avoid people that never get past who you were, they’ve refused to accept reality of who you’ve become or who you’re at the moment ” —Jim lyke says.

RECOVER FASTER THAN EVERYONE
Lose the day. Come back at night. Miss the gym. Go tomorrow. Waste a week. Win the next one. Get embarrassed. Stay visible. Get rejected. Try again. Fall behind. Move anyway. Stop turning every mistake into a new identity. Stop making failure mean more than it does. Stop disappearing every time life proves you’re still human. The men who win aren’t perfect. They just don’t stay gone.
The cheat code is simple.
Become impossible to keep down.

Whatever you create inherits the power to make you or unmake you.
We grant our creations permission and authority over us.
If you create chaos, that same chaos will come to haunt you once it's matured and grown.
If you create calm, you will live to see it nourish your spirit.

How to tell if you've found your "thing"
- You instantly absorb anything you read on the subject
- You stay up late working on it (without effort)
- You can perform better on it at 60% than others at 100%
- It doesn't drain you, but rather gives you energy
- You end up doing it without being prompted
Play to you, work to others. Don't waste your time dedicating yourself to something you're bad at. Work hard at games you're uniquely suited to win. You can and should take every unfair advantage you have access to

Not pictured in this silly image of 1950s America:
☑️ That this house is probably 1000 square feet, lacks AC, and a washer/dryer.
☑️Those kids own 6 outfits and a small number of toys.
☑️ The family takes no vacations beyond the local lake and goes out to eat once every 2 months.
☑️ One gas-guzzling car, one black & white TV with 3 channels, no long-distance phone calls.
☑️ Ignore the suit, the husband probably does back-breaking work in a dirty factory with no health or disability benefits.
☑️ The wife's make-up covering bruises from her husband getting drunk and hitting her the night before.
☑️ The wife’s liquor stash to handle the stultifying boredom of being a housewife when she wanted a career.
☑️The female high school senior pressured to marry her jerk high school boyfriend because marriage is her only path out of her home.
☑️ The daughters having fewer education and career opportunities, no sports teams at school, and having to wear uncomfortable clothes.
☑️ The African American family on the other side of town stuck in a terrible, low-paying job, awful schools, and suffering vicious racism with few civil rights.
☑️ The (not too) local Asian, and Hispanic families also facing terrible discrimination and lack of opportunities.
☑️ The Jewish family taking their teenage son to the hospital after getting jumped after school by some antisemitic classmates.
☑️ The disabled child who just bikes around the block all day because there is no community infrastructure to help them thrive.
☑️The LGBT kids who stayed in the closet until age 17, when they were discovered, assaulted, and disowned by their parents.
☑️ Health & safety risks from polio, rampant smoking, pollution, more fatal cancers, and lack of seatbelts. And the Korean war.
The 1950s were terrific for some – particularly suburban white male breadwinners – but not for a lot of other types of people who never appear in these idealized fake photos. We've some made progress on some of these variables since then. We should be celebrating that progress! (and working for more).
That cocaine is 10% poop and snot. The weed is 5% fentanyl. Your skincare cream contains toxic ingredients, most of which have already seeped into your bloodstream and started reengineering your cellular structure. Your pure water... 😞You’d be better off boiling and filtering
