Ongoing notes on my observations and internal philosophy

This is an ongoing post:

MINDSET

The Strong and The Weak

To define onesself as strong:

• Being Strong is a mindset. Anyone can be strong.

• The will to take responsibility and accept the consequences for one’s own actions or in-actions

• The ability to accept failure, adjust and move on

• The will to be productive, to create for one’s self and others

• The ability to look and focus internally as well as externally.

• The will to rely on onesself before relying on others.

• Takes stock in being an individual

• The strong individual can create their own opinion.

• Leads by example

Being weak is a mindset. The opposite of strong. One not aspiring to be strong is weak.

OBSERVATIONS

• Volatility enables change. Volatility can occur coincidentally. Volatility can be by design.

• Volatility will always be exploited for gain. One must be prepared.

• The pursuit of a utopian-like fairness only serves to make things unfair

• Do whatever it takes to stay in the “game”

• Someone is always trying to sell you something

• Things take time

• Achievement lies in the balance between natural ability and time invested.

• Accept the reality of time.

• live life with love

• Proactive instead of reactive

• be aware of your surroundings

• Help yourself to help others

• The absence of conflict is the absence of love

• The absence of pride is the absence of spirit

• Technological advancements must not hinder the physiological and psychological needs of mankind

• To train the body is to sharpen the mind.

• To train the mind is to prepare the body.

• Today can always be the first day of the rest of your life.

• Nurture meaningful relationships in the physical world.

• One must Consciously balance their life between the digital and physical world.

THOUGHTS: The Strong and the weak

• To be strong is to stand in the light. To be weak is to rest in the shadows

• To be strong is to sit at the front. To be weak is to rest at the back.

• To be strong is to take pride. To be weak is to act with no sense of pride

• Taking from the strong and giving to the weak is a destructive cycle which ultimately leads to extinction.

• The weak will seek to manipulate the strong to enable the weak.

• The strong must enable/enforce the weak to help themselves

• The weak define equality in terms of material worth.

• The strong understand equality in terms of freedom of choice

• The strong are a living example of their ideology

• The weak can exist if they accept the strong and vice versa

FUNDAMENTAL

• Woke = Weak

• Woke is weak while one according to wokeness is entitled.

ENTITLEMENT

• Entitlement is not conducive to a strong individual.

• One’s will to advance entitlement is driven by their own inadequacy.

• The energy spent trying to advance entitlement is misplaced.

• This energy could be redirected internally towards personal improvement.

• The strong will forge their way with or without entitlement.

DIVERSITY

• Diversity is only relevant to the mind and character

• Diverse Characters and minds compliment the group

• Diversity of culture and skin colour are irrelevant in the pursuit for satisfaction

YOUR RIGHTS

• You have none other than those you choose to bestow upon yourself and others

THE INDIVIDUAL

• Determination, dedication, Discipline, suffering and following one`s heart are the only qualities required for satisfaction.

• Respect the respectful, Respect those who stand up to disrespect, question those who define respect

• Create for yourself and subsequently for others.

• Defeat and loss are essential.

• Material wealth for its own sake is worth nothing.

• Take time to stop and think

• When it is too good for too long it is bad

• To embrace suffering is to embrace life

• Help yourself to help others

• Will form their own opinion

THE GROUP

• Individuals create a group

• A group benefits the individual
