mindset changes with time and experience
remember that thing you said you’ll never do, well… look at you, doing that exact same thing.
how time heals all wounds and changes all mindsets, i always knew this, but it’s one thing to have knowledge of something and another to experience it.
when i was younger, i wanted to change the world, it wasn’t about the money, just the opportunity to open people’s minds.
when i write this now it sounds funny, childhood dreams i guess…
not like i gave up on my dreams, i just became realistic, like how money is important, emphasis on important.
i also gave up on changing people’s minds, my creations exists for people that would discover it because that is what the mind and soul needs at the moment, everything is in due time.
you might look at this as settling, trust me, it’s being realistic.
and the earlier, the better.
the money aspect i expected my mindset to change, hence why i refrained from saying too much about it on my podcast, but the changing the world dream, now that shocked me.
i grew tired of trying to convince people that life was lived better in a certain manner.
i was so passionate about it, often preaching to people.
i used to start conversations with: “what do you think about life.”
as you grow older, you start to see the world more, in all it’s beauty and ugliness, and you start to carve a path for yourself, you know how you want to live and who you want to be.
now the problem is not your lifestyle choice, but the realization that you have to do an immense amount of work to get it, it’s this stage that some people start to settle on their dreams and some people start to get realistic.
i believe that the earlier you start the process on your life, the more likely you are to be realistic than to settle.
it’s people that realize that they’ve wasted an immense amount of time doing meaningless activities that settle for what’s ahead, but they don’t go down without a fight, some resort to delusional behavior to cope with such tragedy and they even out eventually.
another thing i realized again was i had relieved myself of the pressure to conform, you might’ve been wondering why i am writing in lower caps, i think it’s cool, and for the most part i don’t care about your opinion.
younger me would be stressed about this.
right now, i’m in the do what has to be done to get what i want.
i used to hate routines but look at me now, i have a routine to make sure i get things done.
i look at all the passionate things i said on my podcast when i was 18, and i might be contradicting myself, but you know what? i don’t care, and you shouldn’t care too.
just like i wrote before this, sometimes it’s alright to watch people burn.
at the end of the day, i am going to account for my life and you would account for yours.
life would catch up to you someday, make sure it doesn’t catch you unfresh.
