My favourite book on my shelf I keep referring to is a compendium of Bernini's work
Astonishing to be able to render softness and living flesh in solid rock the way he did
@JoshRainerGold
I watched the original with my wife on the weekend - it's her favourite - she will HATE this remake
The plastics are supposed to be smoke-shows, aspirational levels of hot and cool
@JoshRainerGold
As a dad myself... I cannot FATHOM the mindset and soulless perspective that would drive you to wish LESS for your children
The ONLY thing I want for my son is to experience all life has to offer and to have it easier than I did
@vers_laLune
The amount of times I put up with a grumpy wife because she misinterpreted my emoji-less texts is embarrassing
I was wilfully stubborn about it
Now, with emojis, the problem is gone

My son never touched a drop of formula and to this day has zero skin issues
Meanwhile MOST of our friends' kids have varying degrees of eczema, irritability and sun sensitivity
It's so fuckin weird to me how many men will just drop their porn habits into conversation
Expecting me to know who these OF women are by name
Giggling about needing their 'alone time'
This shit has become normalized but it is NOT NORMAL NATURALLY
Too many have fallen for it

All of zogdom creamed their panties over it
the concept was so novel for them
"How can you not care what other people think?!"
Never have

I am so onboard with this concept
Ugliness crushes a man's spirit and cripples his virility.
Beauty lifts our hearts and minds and strengthens our dreams
Regretting the things that held you back is feminine energy
you are always in a state of becoming
a man is made
by the challenges he faces
by the obstacles he encounters
and how he responds
you are always pushing forward
a hoplite in a phalanx

I've been with the same girl nearly 20 years
If I'd waited until...
"I had money"
"I had my shit sorted"
"I'd travelled"
etc etc
I wouldn't have the incredible shared experience and growth with this one girl who is the love of my life
Don't set yourself artificial barriers
It took me a long time to come to the knowledge that God is real and Christ is King
I was born Roman Catholic to immigrant parents from Eastern Europe
and even though we weren't by any means a heavily religious family
My parents found community in the church when we first

Nah bruv I love you but you got this wrong
I grew up with a mother who's mind couldn't comprehend rare or medium and when I finally tried medium rare it was like I was having steak for the first time and the heavens opened and the angels sang and cherubs surrounded me

I've noticeably improved my eyesight by sun gazing every morning.
And mindfully changing my focal distance to something out the window if I've been on a screen for a long time.
NOTHING dries up a kitty quicker than a lazy man
The number one complaint you will hear from DISSATISFIED wives who have LOST RESPECT for their husband is he's lazy
And they're not even comprehending why:
It's the MOST FEMININE trait you can have and anything else is not
@ThatGuyZak
The profound paradox I've experienced with these sort of high energy people (at least in Australia) is that because they operate on such a different level, the average normie meeting them feels overwhelmed - yet that same normie will gladly watch them on TV for entertainment

Hopefully people can receive this information in neutrality and then process it
to realise how much they have been mislead about the truth
Have you ever had a brilliant idea, and then a little while later you see it available to buy as a product?
You're left thinking
'F*CK I should have followed through'
This idea was never "yours"
But it was yours to act on in that moment
The universe will sometimes light you up
I've noticed that LOW vibe people make you work for their love
Demands and mind games
Egotistical validation
HIGH vibe girls and boys have no need for these exhausting shenanigans
Aura recognises aura
Tuned into intuition like a MF
Welcome to the tribe
There are plenty of fake and ghey charlatans in the manifestation INDUSTRY
That is what it has now become
An industry fuelled by nouveau pop-spiritualists who, finding themselves without the balls and grit to develop their innate talents and take real ACTION

When you're trying to escape the 9-5 normie life
you begin to understand the power of delayed gratification as it relates to money
You COULD go work the overtime hours at your job now
and get paid for that effort now
Or you could say NO

I was dead asleep last night
In the depths of a dream
ascending a mountain writhing with serpents
BANG!
My slumber was abruptly ended by a huge noise somewhere in the house
I VAULTED out of bed
I'm talking an uncontrolled violent muscle-spasm induced covers-thrown-off

I will die on the hill that your surroundings shape your internal narrative
The daily passive inputs we get from our environment have a massive impact on the way we think and feel
Abundance mindset is a real thing
My wife clipped a sharp curb and burst a tyre
In my old lack mindset I would have been like
"Ah fuck, that's $260 I didn't need to spend, fuck!"
Now, I just accepted it with a smile
And get this: at the tyre shop...
"Be careful"
No.
Does a warrior tread carefully on the battlefield?
Does a formula 1 driver race carefully?
Does MJ dunk carefully?
Leave "careful" to the flouride drinkers
Fuck yeah I want nice things
But there is always a nicer car,
a cooler watch,
a more expensive {insert instagramable thing}
Be careful what you deem a NECESSITY for your life
By deciding to NEED unnecessary things you set yourself up for endlessly chasing more

Today I woke up with the thought that instead of beginning my day
(after my optimizoor routine of course)
with reading, rather than my usual pencil sketch was a good idea
Coffee in hand, book and sparkling water in the other

The THEFT was likely so secretive and quiet that you didn't notice
It's left you confused just enough to push you ADRIFT

I grew up with parents who screamed at me if I did the wrong thing, and a mother who would often beat my brother and I for our mistakes
I'm not looking for sympathy, I'm sure most of you had a similar experience, especially if you're over 30.
Looking at THEIR childhoods I can
I finally had a little breakthrough with a friend of mine today.
He didn't know it, but I was on my last tether with keeping him as a friend.
The kind of guy who's desperate to change his life but won't take a single action towards it.
I was sick to death of his complaining, and
A stark difference I see between my local barista and the owner of the same café
Isn't in their appearance ( they're both weird tattooed hipsters)
It's that one is constantly mentioning and ruminating on their problems and the problems of the world, and indulging other people's
@ThatGuyZak
Agreed
He's using the same fear tactics the agenda uses to shill his stuff
It'll work for him, his target audience will lap it up, but it's not the high road

Congratulations!
Great list. Be grateful your wife is so confident in her body's ability that you can skip all the doctor visits - most girls cannot handle 'not knowing ' how the baby is developing.
The only thing I would venture to add is to encourage your wife to stay
6 years of dating before I proposed to my wife
4 years of pressure from her friends
because of what they thought I "should" do
your time frames are your own.
To be honest I knew I'd marry her from the day we met
and that's probably why I felt in no rush
It was inevitable

If you have a business or product idea and you feel inexplicably drawn to pursue it
Stop waiting for ANYTHING else to be 'just right'
Just right isn't coming
You're gonna be standing on that platform with a wilting bunch of flowers and a box of melted chocolates forever
I killed myself
In an absolute pit of despair
Here's how it went down:
I'd become trapped in a meaningless existence
Handcuffed to a job I hated, producing nothing that made any real difference
Paying bills with nothing left over in the savings account
No way to plan a
As you get older (I'm about to turn 40)
Your FREQUENCY becomes ETCHED into your physiognomy
More so than any skin-care regime, this will determine your appearance

Who are CONSCIOUS and believe in a loving GOD

The air is never clearer than the morning after a thunderstorm in Spring

Cowardice indeed allows the will of a few to be imposed on the many
Without cowardice it's hard to imagine civilization could exist, as the herd is necessary for the leaders to build and govern

Sat down in the barber shop waiting chair while my son gets his haircut
Pulled out my phone to check twitter
Then realized that my son with his cape on, carefully watching the barber's handiwork, was way more interesting than anything any of you moderfokers have to say

I used to think I was hard as nails
For working a job I hated
Coming home every day bleeding and filthy
I felt I was doing something noble
A show of strength
But is it really strength to be denying your purpose?
How much honor and virtue is there in IGNORING your God-given

I used to watch this show with head shaking disbelief at how out of touch with reality and stuck in their ego these restaurant owners were.

Have you ever walked in an old, unplanned city built over CENTURIES
the buildings seemingly shot from the hip in a haphazard but beautiful and cohesive arrangement
the walls touching in an embrace of stone and sculpture

A lesson for information addicts:
I would have podcasts and audiobooks in my ears constantly
walking the dog
doing menial tasks
