Got great feedback today. I’m making progress on this imposter syndrome bs. I just had a revelation a few days ago and then got great feedback today.
”You’ve made more progress the last two weeks than the last guy did the past 3 years.”

I’ve come to the realisation that Wanted is actually a pretty advanced title if you come to it from a PUA/seduction mind.
There’s a difference between approaching and just socialising, saying hi to people.
I do not recommend Wanted unless you understand this.
If you understand this and want to cultivate it, then go for it.
Being great with woman is not something you do, it’s being, something you are.
Hard to explain I guess.
Wanted doesn’t chase, if you don’t get that then you’re not ready for Wanted. 
Cycle 5 - here we go!
This cycle I’m continuing Emp, IG and Limitless. Bumping the duration to 5 minutes.
Happy holidays! 
Time for time off. I’m going to do some heavy introspection.
Striving for greatness 
I have a good opportunity to work out more during this holiday weeks. But also study some code.
Health goal: Stand on the scale and it should say 80kg.
Then we take it from there. I might go down further after that or just start bulking or lean gaining.
Career wise we’ll see. I need to make it S.M.A.R.T er
Skill wise, become super sayan swe. I want to be so good I won’t have to look for jobs again, and I can get any job. So that means I need to go through the fundamentals, take on tough assignments/projects at work, read books and code alot.
This is gold:
I used to try to heal everything once and for all and then start living. The problem is this:
You heal and build yourself up or whatever, thinking if you get it all handled you can go out of your shell or house or moms basement and faceroll the world, the girls, the business, your goals and success.
But that’s not how it works. What you’re actually doing instead is building neural pathways in your head or strengthening already existing pathways of:
- I’ll be happy when…
- Success is in the future.
- I’m not ready, I’m not good enough for action.
- Inaction
TLDR: you’re coping and very immature, glhf

I’m officially under 100kg now 
Most likely water weight, but feels good nonetheless.
Regarding the above, I don’t have it figured out. But I’ve been and still am that guy sometimes. I guess the neural pathways are that strong. It’s going to be a challenge overcoming them and making new ones.

This documentary about a guy who was going to do all these things on his retirement and instead he is now just waiting to die. Did nothing. Pure apathy.
It’s an anecdote, but nonetheless, something to consider. It’s your life, it’s important. Also you are usually your worst enemy.
It’s like the people who get a lot of money fast and then lose it all quicker. Their mindset is the same when they became rich. It didn’t get upgraded.
Anyway, that’s all.
Distraction… what an elusive concept. 🫡
Happy holidays.
Need to cut down the distractions like a sashimi chef.

Distractions, still a thing. An ongoing battle fought in many quantum moments. Lol

Lately I’ve been thinking about running ASBR instead of Emperor. It’s a good idea in a sense that it’s probably more fitting my current career goals in tech, but it’s also a bad idea because:
- Recon (a symptom of switching subs, that’s growth)
- Building a pathway of switching subs. A weakness.
- Is short term thinking. Long term I should and will switch to ASBR at some point.
- FOMO / Lack of patience
If you switch, you lose more than you gain.
Mood:
(PROTIP: Switch every occurrence of the word gold to code, i.e Codefinger)

I don’t know man. I feel like I’ve crossed a barrier after the last recon wave. The recon isn’t as harsh anymore. Knock on wood…
Current stack for reference:
Cycle 5
Emperor - 05:00
Index Gate: Ultimate Programmer X - 05:00
Limitless - 05:00
Just got back from the gym, did a HIIT training. I need a fitness goal achievement besides the weight. I’m going to run 10k sub-one-hour. My personal best, in a real race, is 01:05:xx. Would be awesome to beat that. We got this 🫡
Time to drink a shake, some electrolytes and work through the legendary computer science book SICP.
Cut the distractions. They are everywhere. Fool is he who think they’ve got his best interests at heart.

Alot of coders hate on ChatGPT, but to be honest, it’s not that bad.
However, my favorite use of Chat GPT is using it for learning mainly. It’s epic!
I use it to question myself on reading material, to make sure the knowledge sticks to my memory and understanding of said material. I also ask it for feedback or code reviews. Lastly I ask it to clarify things or explain them from a different perspective if I don’t understand.

Reconciling a lot of anger. I’m thinking of drawing stuff to draw it out. Don’t know what else to do, besides letting it fuel my strides.

Don’t lose touch with your purpose and don’t let the tools consume you.
Happy new year!
There is action, then there’s action.
Result oriented action, goal oriented action, progress oriented action. Then there’s coping action. Where you’re actually just mastering a tool and mastering this tool is your new purpose.

Consistency is key.
It’s not who’s good, it’s who’s left. And it’s hours on the mat. And if you put in that time, natural athlete or not, you practice the art, you’ll be a black belt. You’ll be somewhere in ten years… why not be a black belt too? You just can’t quit.
Yesterday I had a nice study session at the library. Studied some internal courses around information security and hacking.
I borrowed a book also, to support the cause. I borrowed Three Body Problem. Very interesting so far. 
trying to spend the nighttime unwinding reading instead of a screen.
I also hit up the gym, did a HIIT exercise on the treadmill, working towards that sub 1 hour 10k run.
Today I did TRE in the morning and damn I feel good. I got the shoulders shaking finally. It’s good as a relaxation exercise. I woke up with intense moodyness and recon. Very normal since I listened to Limitless yesterday. But it cleared. I got giggly.
