The Deadliest Illusion

This newsletter is perhaps one of the most important pieces I have published yet.

Especially important to the ambitious young men who are trying for greatness, faithful in the coming day where every attempt will be worth it.

Alike myself.

This is for all of you who have a dream.
For all of you who want something very much.

You probably know the saying that goes like this:

There are two wolves.
One in a dark room, one in a bright room.
Which one lives?
The one you feed.

The things you feed your attention to in your life grow.

If you very much want something, you grow the wanting in yourself.

If you dream and obsess over something, you don’t give energy to getting the thing you obsess about — you give energy to the version of you that wants something.

That version, by proxy, doesn’t have what it wants.

The same applies to refusing.
To not wanting something very much.

The refusal of your current reality might seem like a good thing at first — especially if your current reality is shit.

However, when your focus lies on refusing your current reality, you give energy to the version of you that refuses something.

That version, by proxy, has something it doesn’t want — and doesn’t have what it wants.

The only way to escape that deadly illusion is to create a completely new, different reality for yourself.

How?

You think about the things you want and the things you don’t want, then you start living as if you already have the things you want and are free of the things you don’t want.

You no longer WANT.
You HAVE.

You talk, feel, behave, think, act — that way.

By doing so, you start feeding the version of yourself that already HAS.

Like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

When the universe can no longer tell your current version apart from the version of you that has everything it wanted, the fabric of reality will shift.

And before you know it, you will be the guy who has everything he wanted.

You must first become that person.
Only then will reality catch up.

Bending the fabric of reality to your imagination.

That is the most powerful ability of the human mind.

Use it.

Don’t focus on what you want very much.
Don’t focus on what you don’t want very much.

Decide what you want to do right now — and do it.

Right now.

No dreaming.
No wishing.
No obsessing.

Pure action.
Pure presence.

You can’t get what you obsess about, because what you obsess about you, by proxy, lack.

And you fuel the version of yourself that is lacking by strongly wanting and obsessing.

Let go of that.
Cure your brain.
And start living in the moment.

Everybody who ever won focused on the present.
On the NOW.

Sooner than you can imagine, you will be part of that list.

Wake up, Neo…
