Made it to the first mini milestone! 🎉🎉🎉10 daylys and we're only going up from here. I've already missed two days (if you didn't notice forget I said anything) and it's not super duper hard to do but it definitely is stretching me a little 😭, but that's what your 20s are for. And luckily, I have a wonderful support system around me that allows me to work as hard as I do which leads me to my main point for today: Consider comfort your competition in your come up.
This is particularly for my young men. Young women can listen to but this is directed towards young men. If you get comfortable too early in life, you will remain stuck there and become stale. You lose your ability to suffer. You lose your ability to succeed. I found myself falling into this trap after four years of (relatively responsible) hedonism in college I worked for a few years making enough money to live comfortably but not enough money to make a difference. So I made a decision. I can make the safe bet; stay here for the rest of my life and make a very easy comfortable cheque and killed slowly by my ideas of what could have been if I only. Or I could only. And take a risk. And live on the edge a little. And know how for certain. But it will take being uncomfortable to get there.
I speak a lot about suffering and things of that nature through wayvydon not because I want you to suffer but because you should want you to suffer. Again, not needlessly or meaninglessly but suffering is the fruit of success. I hope to give you tools to make it through the suffering yes but I really want to understand even for myself that suffering and struggling is a necessary part of the process. Just like a cake gotta get baked sometimes you gotta weather some heat for a while so you can become a delicious delicacy. Things that are expected are a lot easier to handle. Often we expect an easy comfortable life because that is what we have been sold. The only thing that life could ever be in mediocre. And if you're reading this I know you don't want to live a mediocre life.
But don't forget ‼️ the key to all of this is having a super support structure around you. Can't assume that you can do it alone because if you're spending close to 100% of your effort stretching the limits you're going to need something ( preferably someone or ideally a team of someone's) to restore your health and vitality. A lot of these self help gurus talk about going hard or training three times a day. What they don't talk about is the team of physio's and private chefs and maids and attendants that make it feasible to push oneself that far.
This post was also inspired by a tweet https://x.com/shagbark_hick/status/1981368353496137763 that speaks a little to the necessity of men to explore in their early twenties. Personally, I would extend it to 30 as opposed to 25 because by 25 most people have only just figured out who they are, what they want, what they have to offer and how that fits into society. Making mistakes is embarrassing, it's uncomfortable and it's is bar none the fastest way to learn and get to where you want to be. So step out your comfort zone since you don't want to be trapped there, get a little uncomfortable get a little weird and as always…
