“What I must do is all that concerns me, not what the people think. This rule, equally arduous in actual and in intellectual life, may serve for the whole distinction between greatness and meanness. It is the harder because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” - RW Emerson

GM nostr 🌞 A strong man or a group of strong men are at the center of any thriving community. If you want to build a citadel, start by building your own mental and physical fortitude.

The old man and the sea just makes way more sense to me know.

GM nostr 🌞 “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you.” Matthew 6:33 By no means am I an exemplary Christian, but I find so much truth in this verse that I have to share this morning. When seeking the social and material abundance that we desire first it will always be just out of reach. The deep satisfaction that comes from connecting to God and devoting yourself to his calling on your life will ignite the gravitational force that attracts “all these things” into your life in more abundance than you could have ever imagined.

GM nostr 🌞 Your wealth, your health, your celebrity status, and your contributions to the world and humanity will not retain a woman’s attraction if you don’t solve for hypergamy in your mindset and behavior. A woman needs consistent proof that you are her best option to feel and continue feeling love for you. And that proof is not logical. For her, it is a feeling.

What if I told you, you could build a quality social life without going out to bars or using dating apps?
