In the future, the great division will be between those who have trained themselves to handle these complexities and those who are overwhelmed by them - those who can acquire skills and discipline their minds and those who are irrevocably distracted by all the media around them and can never focus enough to learn.

Underrated life advice: Bet on yourself at least once. Apply to the job nobody thinks you'll get. Ask the girl who's "out of your league". Move to a new place where you don't know anyone. Worst case, you learn a ton. Best case, a new world opens up and your whole life changes.

Former Navy SEAL Jocko Willink said it right:
“Other than death, all defeats are psychological. Never give up.”

Have you heard of @CurseMackey out of Austin? He was in a few bands including Pigface and My Life with the Thrill Kill Cult. He DJ's as well. He just came off a little run.

Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.

Be grateful for your struggles, because within them is the opportunity for growth and meaning.

People don’t fear change. They fear loss. The loss of comfort. The loss of certainty. The loss of who they thought they were.

Retreating shows not weakness but strength. It is something you must do every now and then, to find yourself and detach yourself from infecting influences.

Your best performances will come when you are working in a way that is a full expression of you. The work becomes a natural display of your personality. This is when you not only get better results, but also love the activity — because in doing the craft, you feel alive.

Your mind will follow whatever you feed it.
Want better thoughts? Consume better things.

On This Day in Metal October 9th, 1990
Slayer released the GREAT album “Seasons In The Abyss”!
A crushing masterpiece packed with thrash metal classics like “War Ensemble,” “Dead Skin Mask” and the legendary title track.

"Follow your heart" is a marketing slogan, not life advice. Your heart wants tacos at midnight and drunk texts your ex. Try following your mind for once.

Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power.

Displaying anger and emotion are signs of weakness; you cannot control yourself, so how can you control anything?

What matters is not education or money, but your persistence and the intensity of your desire to learn; that failures, mistakes, and conflicts are often the best education of all; and how true creativity and mastery emerge from all this.

These are our obligations as human beings…
1. Carry your own weight
2. Realize your potential
