Signs of Becoming Stronger Alone: Exorcism
Today, after reading an article that touched me deeply, I reflected on my journey so far, which has been a process of constantly dispelling illusions.
Before entering the big factory, I admired it, so I tried my best to get in. At that time, my major was not related, and my internship experience was not enough. Even after the interview failed, I prepared several industry research reports and self-recommendation letters to continue to apply. Later, the heavens did not disappoint the hardworking, and I finally got in, but a year later, I came out as if escaping.
After quickly learning and integrating into the environment, I began to discover problems within the system, the declining trend in the industry, and the shortcomings of colleagues who previously made me feel inferior. This is a process of dispelling illusions.
When I first entered the web3, I admired the pro. I believed everything the pro said, and sometimes I didn't dare to express my own different opinions. Later, it turned out that the pro could also be wrong.
Everyone and everything came closer to take a look, it was just so-so.
But don't misunderstand.
When we are nothing, or not strong enough, the first thing we should do is to recognize the desire for strength in our human nature, and we should do it openly and generously.
Only when a person has been deceived can they understand the truth of society; only when they have experienced pain can they see the true nature of human beings; only when they have hit rock bottom can they see the world as it is; only when they have experienced extreme poverty can they have a deeper understanding of money.
So the reason why we are not strong enough is that we are not weak enough, not pushed to the edge, not in enough pain, unable to have a complete realization and achieve self-awakening.
Experience is precious and interrelated. Everything has a cause and effect, with each link connected to the next. I always believe that people will eventually wake up. Some experiences should not be saved because if you save one aspect, another dimension will seek compensation.
A person can only begin to understand the world after experiencing enough long and wholeheartedly accepting their own weaknesses.
I like to listen to the past experiences of some people whom I think are outstanding. The result is that many people who jump high often experience deep lows, such as sudden zeroing, debt, and the departure of the closest people...
✴️What does it mean to dispel charm?
The world is not what you think it is. What you see is what others want you to see. Don't think that martial arts experts are always calm and composed, unaffected by the crumbling mountains in front of them. They are not always full of ingenious strategies and foreknowledge.
Those are all books written by others, IPs created, and personas constructed, all for the purpose of making you admire and use them.
The person you admire in reality, whether he is xx CEO, xx Master, xx pro, xx celebrity, the only criterion is that he can always stand upright in the ups and downs of the cycle, rather than lying down.
There are no eternal strong men, only heroes of the times.
So all the strong people we face, the one who opens the flashlight to light up, turns off the light, and is no different from us. We are all just making a living in the market, all the same.
What we should most awe is the law, the underlying law of the operation of the world: the only constant is change.
And the real strong, is constantly embracing change, change can still continue to succeed, constantly get results of the people. You don't need to idolize him, you just need to get close to him.
Being close to the strong will not make you strong, but being in touch with the strong can learn the underlying logic of success, and this thing can be transferred.
The ultimate goal of human life is to cultivate oneself and let the light shine on oneself. Dispelling demons is the foundation of all self-realization.
✴️You want to get rid of the charm
Need to have a skill, keep thinking.
People can have a measure of comparison for height and weight, but there is no upper or lower limit for thinking ability.
A person is always thinking, and you will find that his efforts can go To The Moon, but when a person loses the ability to think, his efforts can easily be rubbed in the soil.
A handy weapon, a business opportunity of the era, a line of wealth creation code, also grasping the trend of the web3/AI era, why can it bring completely different destinies? Apply thinking, know the reason behind it. Otherwise, having a good thing in hand will not be able to handle it and will become a burden like a millstone.
Continuous contemplation will not lead to an unsolvable answer, but rather the choice made after understanding the essence of things. At that time, there will be no internal conflicts, no need to ask others about which choice to make, you will have a clear answer yourself.
A resolute person, one who can make choices, will be self-consistent even without achieving so-called worldly success. This in itself is a strong person.
✴️The ultimate goal is always to seek within
The essence of making money is to have a dialogue with yourself and practice. If you don't want to make money, your mind is filled with thoughts of overcoming hardships and heading for the spring mountains, which is putting the cart before the horse.
Martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable.
A crypto world practitioner needs to embrace the changes of web3, and break the original way of thinking every 1 month for iteration.
An entrepreneur, every day in mind is how to solve one problem after another in front of them, and they are tirelessly solving them.
A content blogger may overturn all the materials planned in the morning in the afternoon.
Always ready to deal with changes, always ready to accept changes, the world in front of them is like a fast-forwarded movie.
A slow person who cannot accept 2x speed, 3x speed, can only operate at 1.5x speed or 1x speed.
The question of whether to seek one's own affairs is a matter of individual preference. However, the key point is that this is a path of practice. Those who never turn back when they hit a wall in this world are those who rely only on their feet to walk, rather than first using their eyes to choose the path.
Only through experience can we find answers.
