Monk Mode Manifesto 🧘‍♂️

[Dantes]

Most people want greatness, but they aren’t willing to go through the fire to get it. They dream, they plan, they talk.

This journal isn’t just about running subliminals—it’s about transformation at the highest level.

It’s about pushing past limits, building something legendary, and proving to myself that I can create the life I want.

This journal is my personal record—the highs, the breakthroughs, the struggles, and the lessons I learn along the way.

No more new journals, found the stack I wanna run for the next few years.

Emperor: The Executive, Stark Black, Nouveau RICH.

I don’t know exactly where this path will lead, but I do know this: my heart and soul is all in, I’ve made the leap.

Winning wants all of me, and I’ve given it all of me.

Winning has been my mentor and my executioner, my greatest ally and most formidable enemy. It’s a puzzle of infinite pieces that don’t easily fit together, some suspiciously missing—with no picture to show what the puzzle will look like if you ever finish. It’s a black hole of desire and greed and insatiable hunger, a careless lover who draws you in and then tells you they’re back on the market.
I’ve looked Winning in the eye long enough to see it wink and turn its back. I’ve been foolish enough to say, “See you next year,” only to hear it whisper: “We’ll see.”

Started budgeting in every $ that comes in and out until September.

I have a world class nootropic setup, before I used to spend $300 a month without really knowing what im doing and what I’m looking for. This time my budget is $600 a month.

This time around is different, I had some help with chatGPT and crafted one that is specifically made for cognitive endurance and focus. I’ll finally be able to focus for a full 10 hours spread out in 2 hours block throughout my day. I’m so hyped.

For anyone looking to get my stack here it is:

As much as I want to be the cool Kobe Bryant type obsessive nature executive, I simply am not that guy.

I’m an Artist at heart, I love having fun and beauty. And I realized today that I don’t have to go to extreme lengths to achieve success, I don’t have to sell my soul for wealth.

The illusion of wealth is that you have to sell your soul for it, giving it everything you got, but us as humans don’t work or operate on a linear basis, if we give 100 points of input it may only produce 20 points of output. Why? Because the inner processes are messed up, and diminishing marginal results.

So it got me thinking to my own extreme bias. One of it was going 10 years of celibacy, I’ve already completed a year of it now and I realize, theres no super power it gives other than focus and freedom of distraction, I don’t notice increased arousal from women, I don’t sense my aura magnifying. It’s all BS. Theres no super powers with it, it’s just the mental discipline that is maximized as a result of it.

So I adjusted my strategy and adapted it where I get max enjoyment of my sexual prime and max discipline. I’m following a 3 months on, 1 month off execution protocol. So every 3 months I’m grinding, celibate af, being relentless Kobe mode. And 1 month off where I reset, reassess, strategize, network, socialize, have fun, catch up with friends, travel.

I’m building a life that I can look back in 10 years and say damn I lived an amazing life, if I become wealthy or not.

Because the worst possible thing is not becoming wealthy while going 10 years celibacy. 10 years of it doesn’t guarantee anything other than myself just being regretful.

Anyways thats the development I’ve had this morning. Going to be weird breaking the celibacy thats for sure.

I’ve also swapped out Emperor Black for Emperor: The Executive… IT should work out better and be more sustainable for long term.
