Keep improving the quality of your work by producing more. You’ll always look back at your old productions and say man that was embarrassing. That won’t happen if you’re stagnant though. Keep creating until you can no longer stand the quality of your old work. I personally – and this is a real life case or experience – thought that I surpassed Shakespeare in some of my older content that I already made when I was above 25 years old. Still when I was editing the final draft of my first book, I realized how horrible the majority of everything was and that I had to rewrite many things and remove or totally cancel a ton of what I’ve written in the past, what I already thought I have finished for good, what I already perceived earlier to be a masterpiece of artwork. It was hard, but the end result is that I have something that is not entirely trash. I worked more to compensate for the removed body of work. The point is, I really thought the earlier stuff was beyond amazing. Only when I was in my thirties I became capable of perceiving how bad it was. I evolved enough. How do you get there? Not through failure, but through constant training, experience, and creating. It’s like there’s a collective total reward of all time that allows your brain to work or run at a different level where it starts giving you abilities that you had no idea existed or were possible. That doesn’t happen because you have become necessarily better in terms of potential or how smart you are, but how much or how huge what you’ve produced, accomplished, or created in the past is. This makes you fast enough to do what your mind would be too reluctant to try venturing into or attempting to do for fear of fatiguing prematurely, or doing something that’s not worth it, when you can grab reward or pleasure through a shorter, quicker, or easier pathway. Being smart is crucial for your success, but it is not the only thing that is going to lead you to the realm of brilliance or mastery. There’s more than just processing speed. Collective or total reward of all time does wonders. Do not underestimate that. And the only key to getting there is producing, achieving, or creating more. There’s no bypassing that. There’s no shortcut. And it’s so worth it.

I can’t imagine an atrocity that cannot be justified by the mindset of who cares, we’re all gonna die anyway. Literally, think of something that you would have a problem with doing it if there’s no need to put any weight or importance to anything because you’ll end up dead in both cases. You can’t find a single example that can be an exception to this rule, because there isn’t.

You only live once, so why not do epic shit, and also why not do horrible stuff, because why regret anything. I told you guys, nihilistic worldviews and postmodernism have leaked and seeped into every aspect of our lives and philosophical positions, even in self-help.

If something generates enthusiasm or motivation through the lack of meaning, or importance, then whatever positive effect you can get from it will not be real. It will be delusional positivity. And it won’t help you long-term.

Don’t you dare tell me that positive feedback doesn’t lift you up or make you work tirelessly harder.

You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Just don’t let negativity do the opposite to you.

It’s okay to feel good because of positive comments or feedback.
