You aren't doing enough.

That's not to say you aren't enough or that you aren't worthy - in fact, the opposite.

You are worthy & capable of so much more. You just don't demand enough out of yourself.

It's all there though, deep within, dying to come to light(life).

Renaissance for the humanities

Part of the Renaissance Period (1400s~1500s ish) was a rediscovery of the humanities and classics after a long Middle Ages. It was the ability to have a new take on Plato, Socrates and a new interpretation of Roman texts as well. It was to be able to have new emotions, new interpretations and a new meaning of what came before - politically, socially, artistically and economically. Art for example was still religious (not independent of it till the Enlightenment, The Reformation) but now the religious figures showed human emotion - art before the Renaissance did not.

I do think this coming shift with AI is going to prompt and change a lot of what we think about the humanities - a reinterpretation of who we are, and how we can represent ourselves. The story we tell ourselves about who we are will once again be changed and reinterpreted— and with that I do believe our humanities will once again change

As a man, it's more important to be useful than happy, and when you make your aim to be fruitful, happiness, purpose, & contentment will find you, but if you make your aim to be happy, you're usually left with nothing.

Never lower your standards. Only raise them. The people who tell you to settle should respectfully be ignored. God bless them, but you sir, are destined for more.

Must get smarter.
Must get stronger.
Must get betterer.

Abandon your desire to be liked & replace it with a desire to be someone worthy of respect & God's good graces

You weaken your soul every time you conform to someone else's perception - constraining your expression, tucking your wings, & rejecting your individuality for no gain

Fck your doubts. Stifle your worries. Ignore your anxieties. You're exactly where you need to be. Fret not about a thing. Look ahead. Look above. Look within. It's all there. It all will be. Just proceed

If you wait too long, the coffee gets cold, the door closes, you get old, the girls move on, & dreams fade. You must act w/ a sense of urgency today
