Transcript:

When you're alone with your thoughts, you get an idea of what your thoughts actually are. If you live your life just acting constantly on the momentum of other people’s expectations, you wanting to be like by these other people, you can run into a trap, and you set up a life that you didn’t really want, you’re fucked, you’re trapped in this situation where you have a mortgage, you have credit card bills, you have student loans that you have to pay. You have a bunch of shit going on that you have to continue to feed and especially if you have a family and you have to feed them, then you’re fully locked in, you can’t take any chances whatsoever , and often times people make the mistake of getting stuck and it is just a tactical mistake. ke, just like it would be a mistake if you got stuck in a video game, just like it would be a mistake if you followed a map incorrectly and you get stuck in the woods. Your life is certainly some sort of a journey, it’s certainly some sort of a journey and we all have to be aware that when we are making journeys. We aren’t always going to make the right steps and sometimes you have to back up and try again. And if you're in a position where you can’t back up and try again, you have trapped yourself.

And the system will set out honey pots for people to get trapped in. The system will set out the ideas of retirement, the ideas of the golden years, providing you benefits, providing you a healthy work environment. Why? Well, because they want people to work for them. They don't want people to realize their own dreams and escape, that's fucking a pain in the ass. Now you gotta hire more people and train them. They want to set it up so that you stick around. Stick around in some sort of unsatisfying world. It's up to you to see that video game problem. To see that issue as it comes up on the map. - No, I think this is a right turn - To see all the problems that could potentially lay in front of you, and calculate your future. And then also look around all the people that didn't do it and look at the misery that they're in, and learn that you don't wanna be like them. And then look at the people that have kind of taken chances and navigated their way. What did they do differently? What objectivity did they have that maybe you lack? What insight into their own mistakes are they willing to delve into that you're not? That you step back and you go, you know, I just don't wanna look at myself that closely. But the person who's able to look at themselves the closest is gonna get the more rational results.

4 Signs You've Found a Kindred Spirit, Not a Soulmate

Spirituality exists beyond words — to a dimension where language can only hint at deeper truths. Any words used to attempt to describe or explain it will always be poor translations because words often fall short when describing spiritual experiences. It's like trying to capture the ocean's vastness in a photograph. It might show its surface but there's no replacement for the direct experience of reality.

On Defining Spiritual Connections

Throughout history, people have tried to capture extraordinary experiences and spiritual connections through language. Terms like soulmates, twin flames, and kindred spirits attempt to describe these non-ordinary bonds.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his parents Randi and Pat

Make no mistake about it: Patrick Mahomes is the face of the NFL. The Tyler, Texas native is the son of Pat Mahomes, a former Major League Baseball player, and Randi Martin.

He burst onto the scene in 2018 when he made history by throwing 50 touchdown passes and 5,000 yards in a single season — a record he shares with Peyton Manning. He followed up his initial success by leading the Kansas City Chiefs to an incredible victory at Super Bowl LIV. If that wasn’t enough, he carried the team through to yet another Super Bowl the very next year, though they ended up losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mahomes has gone to two more Super Bowls since and he's won back-to-back titles (2023 and 2024).
