Whether you like it, or not, The world is a dark, merciless, and chaotic place. This may sound negative, but it is quite the contrary.

Because everything has an inherent duality within.
(...)
The darkness is what makes the light beautiful.

If things arenโ€™t going entirely well in the world because there is chaos, darkness, difficulty...

this means there is beauty, light, order... and ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™–๐™ก.
(...)
This means we havenโ€™t reached our higher state of being, we have to bring light into the darkness, we have to bring order out of chaos, we have work to do, we have to create.

(Quite often, the most luminous light comes out of the depths of darkness)
(...)
You have an aim, a passion, something that you want to do in this world, something that you gravitate towards which the world needs, even craves for.

Something that you sort of want to "burn yourself with", a mountain worthy of climbing, even if it takes you years,
(...)
a fire that lies within each individual,

in some it burns with fervor, in others, it is a minimal flame, almost imperceptible, in some cases it is not even noticed by its faint flame...

(...)
So, you have to fuel that fire.

There are things you like, things you gravitate towards even if is just a little, they exist, the clue is always there, be on the watch.

This world is messy and full of potential, hence, you have the capacity to bring order, to create,
(...)
To bring something into existence that will improve the world, that will bring you joy, that will constitute something meaningful.

Just pay attention to that which you gravitate towards, that which you find interesting, of uncommon beauty,
(...)
something that stands out in plain sight;

and that in conjunction with that which needs to be addressed in this world, which holds potential, which you regard as importantโ€ฆ

That could ignite the forgotten fire within you.
(...)
There are beautiful, but fragile individuals around youโ€ฆ

Maybe your mother or father, who loved and took care of you as a child.

Maybe your son or nephew, naive and full of potential, with a whole life forward.
(...)
Maybe your girlfriend or wife, a beautiful woman with a beautiful soul that you want to spend your life and build a family/legacy with.

Those are people of light, torches of life, they bring meaning and beauty to our lifeโ€ฆ
(...)
Individuals who we must protect from the cruelty of the world, Beautiful, but at the end a cruel world.

This demands you to bring out the best of you, to live out to your potential, to take total responsibility for your thoughts, words, and actions.
(...)
It is something that may sound easy or plain obvious, maybe something that some people take for granted;

But have you really took complete responsibility for yourself?

Do you firmly believe that?
(...)
There are lots of guys that are embarrassed about this fact, or that are even traumatized about it, resulting in them not confronting reality as it is.

Deluding themselves with whatever justification they can find about why they're not completely self-reliable.
(...)
But I tell you, please;

Think about those you love.

For them, and for that ideal/purpose that ignites the fire within you... leave your ego aside and ask yourself:

Am I completely responsible for my own life?

Am I a truly and completely self-reliable individual?
(...)
No matter your answer, you will still come to the same logical conclusion:

Just imagine, how your surrounding would be if you do that if you become the best being you could.
(...)
An individual who is entirely responsible for himself and for his loved ones, because they are worth it, they deserve the best in the world, and more importantly...

you really, really, donโ€™t want to see tragedy breaking their soul and blowing out their fire.
(...)
I invite you to practice the following exercises (and to do it in the most detailed and vividly imagined way possible):

If you are not responsible for yourself, if you depend on others...

Think about the person you depend on the most.
(...)
Now think about what would happen if they suddenly die,

Or if they lose their ability to provide for you because of an accident or a tragic experience,

Or even more importantly... if they have to depend on someone because of this tragic experience.
(...)
What if they need to depend on you now?

Will you wait for that to happen?

Will you wait for tragedy and trauma to knock on your door to start doing ๐™’๐™ƒ๐˜ผ๐™ ๐™”๐™Š๐™ ๐™ˆ๐™๐™Ž๐™ ๐˜ฝ๐™€ ๐˜ฟ๐™Š๐™„๐™‰๐™‚?

Just imagine how hellish that situation could be like.
(...)
Now imagine the opposite...

Imagine you start doing what you know you must be doing, imagine yourself developing hypercompetent traits;

Imagine where you could be two years from now if you start and continue to do what you need to do,
(...)
The goals you could accomplish, something worthwhile, something that fulfills life with meaning;

Imagine yourself providing the best for those you love, the quality of life they deserve, the education, the experiences and joy that will remind them of the beauty of life.
(...)
If you want a brighter future, you need to take extreme ownership of what happens to you and how you conduct your life, you:

Have to get rid of your ego, of comfort, of easiness, stop wasting your time, start addressing your flaws and the things that really matter;
(...)
You have to be willing to go through hell, to sacrifice a lot of yourself and to sufferโ€ฆ

But suffering for a greater cause, for something that goes above and beyond you,

This my friendโ€ฆ

Is not only the cause of highest novelty and the greatest source of purpose,
(...)
But also the ultimate joy.

Every day, remind yourself of your why, of why youโ€™re doing this, of why the difficulty is worth it, of why you are capable, and YOU WILL go through hell and become a monster;

A monster full of darkness, but to protect and create light.
(...)
This is bloody serious!

If you want to do something of value, become a hypercompetent individual who takes extreme ownership of everything.

Just imagine the kind of man you could become,

What you could accomplish,

The flame that you could ignite in the world.
