Verse

You know what the thing is, the best way to build a country would be to build the people
But that’s a long-term cost
So you know we don’t care about that
Only when we’re down and out and struggling would we ever consider that
And only then will our country slowly start to build up and become prosperous
But once prosperous, we become complacent
And thus begins our stagnant downfall
That is the life

§

Applying to jobs is hilarious
Why am I getting rejected for things I don’t even want

§

You get what you accept
But it’s a risk not taking it
Because you might get less
Or you might get more

§

If you don’t like me
Why should I care?
If it’s not directed toward me
Why should I care?
That sounds like its your problem
Not mine
And if you don’t like me
Then why should I care?

Unless of course, it will somehow influence me
Then yes, I’ll care

§

Who do you think you are?
Exactly who you think I am

Stop spending endless energy on what others think
Trying to convince them to see your side

It distracts you from spending that same energy on yourself and your ideas
You and your ideas can grow so much more if you focus on them instead

We are all finite
As is our time and attention

This applies to all things distracting

Success is a probability game
If you’re talented, skilled, connected, it becomes easier
Your chances are better
But that doesn’t all matter
Only how much you play

If you keep shooting, one’s got to hit
And you best hope that it’s a big one
Forget the small ones and all the misses
All you need is one biggus

So keep playing
But remember
Conserve your fuel

What is the goal?
To build a self-sustainable life
A life where I can do what I want
Without having to waste time for a dime

Being insane is the only thing that keeps me sane
Isn’t that crazy

§

Now I’ve become my own curse

You have to meet them at their level
Otherwise you won’t be able to communicate

That’s how you talk to kids, animals and anything
Understand a common language between the both of you, and communicate
The hardest part is knowing it’s necessary

We all instead talk in our understanding or perception of it all; from our point-of-view
Without caring to think about the other person and how they’ll understand

If we both aim our communication towards the other, then it’ll become easier
Even if one person were to do this it would become easier

Misunderstandings are because of this, we don’t get each other
And ego refuses to take another view that isn’t ours
We need to look in the same direction
So we can see what we can see

The market is infinite
Wait for the winters

To become a writer, I must write
To write, I must become a writer

I must write whatever comes to mind
I must practice writing
Build the habit

Do not aim for perfection, or good enough
Aim for completion

We must do and do and do
Practice will make perfect
Habit will make product
Consistency will make progress

We will get better and better
And have results to show for it

Perfection will have none
No start
No finish

We start and go
However it comes
It will be

Writing
And in all things

Solitude
Often times is a fault of who you are and the people around
If you can’t mix, you’ll find yourself alone
It is a great pain to us
Where we have no choice but to get better
In whatever way that may be
So we can still win in life

But the need to win is a fool
Without it you’ll be fine
The need is what gives you the need

But even then
You still want to accomplish in your life

I see so many of them
I wish they would see me
