I was trying to go for how tied our hands are, and the self realisation of this, mastering it, being calm. And no matter how close to the surface you don't just rush on up for air.

images


You stay calm, you think things through.
You balance your understanding of danger, and your responsibility to innovate.


Innovations are not meant to bring you to the surface, only inner peace can do that (so innovate well).
The surface isn't money, its "being made whole". Getting beyond treachery and deciet, even if self inflicted.


I openly despise business, but, my discipline is more than its equal.
And I believe there can be good, we just can't quit on it, we have to struggle through until we get how.


Of all the dangers, the most viscious is apathy.
So I guess you could see it as rising above the apathy of neglect, slowly ascending to a true nature that one is built for.

Also, its just how I feel.
No body quite gets why, they fear it.

I guess I'm saying, even those most feared or misunderstood can endure, and find peace.
And that I am close to such a surfacing, yet still hold firm.
Still let myself float and resist the drowning.


Only real air is worth my lungs.



Resistance, that patiently awaits, a deep and powerful sense of well developed integrity.
Wax on, wax off...
Truly truly doing as others hypocritically state

I just cannot and will not run from my fears of money. I don't give a rats #ss about money, I care about how I feel.

And to care about how you feel, sometimes you just gotta do sh#t that is arduous

Pun.

I'm hooked on this journey like a fish hooked on a line, slowly bringing us towards a single destination no matter how much we change direction.

The boat is our destination, which for me represents freedom (probably not so much for the marlin).

The marlin reminds me that the journey itself is magnificent. People awe at jumping marlins, not mounted ones.

Mine is just a simple quote that contains two words that 99% of the world has gotten backwards!

One word summarizes "The Process" while the other, "The Event."

Mine is a Nietzsche quote ontop of a photo from the USA vacation my friends and me made in March this year. We had an intermediate landing in Philadelphia and due to a snow storm we missed our flight from there to San Francisco, we had to sleep one night at the airport and were devided into 3 groups (we were 7 guys). The first group's flight to SF was a few hours before the last group's (where I was in) and when they landed in SF they sent this photo into our whatsapp group. I always have to think about this and the whole vacation when I see the photo. After this great time in SF, LA, San Diego and Las Vegas, this image reminds me of the feeling of freedom we felt there.

I took a few months off without any job wanting to start my own company. I screwed around and didn't accomplish a thing (action faked). I went to the location in my avatar every single morning dreaming about what it would be like to have earned the freedom to visit everyday. I used it as an excuse to waste time while at the same time used this location as a hope and a dream to what I wanted in life (a what color lambo scenario). This location not only represents the freedom I will achieve but the albatross of a slow lane mindset that once hung around my neck.

Mine is Atlas Shrugged artwork, inspired from Ayn Rand's book and philosophy (Objectivism).

Reminding me that our highest moral purpose, is the pursuit of our own selfish happiness.

That's not the definition of hacking used in this context. :)

I guess it depends on what context you are using it. ;)

Though a lot can be gathered by your most recent in your blog "Why i'm so great".
There is a lot to be said about self belief; like it! :)

Thanks! I'm surprised people read that! That post was a reminder to myself that it's ok to take pride in your accomplishments, but you need to find a way to use them for other's benefits.

Mine has to do with the simple pleasures in life, Nostalgia, and the memories. the picture is that of my next project. It's a 1985 Buick Lesabre Collectors edition, one of the last full sized body on frame rear drive V8 Buick sedan built, until they brought back the Roadmaster in 91-96. I enjoy working on cars and bringing them back to, and sometimes beyond their original showroom conditions. Most of the cars I own and drive are Buicks. In fact I owe my life to a 1991 Buick Roadmaster estate, 4 years ago I was t boned by a dodge van that ran a stop sign doing 70mph hit me square in the driver's door pushed the B pillar in some 16 inches and the A pillar in a good 12 inches, I woke up in an MRI machine, underwent a lot of tests, xrays, poking and prodding, 12 hours later I was allowed to walk out of the hospital with nothing more than minor cuts, lacerations, and a severely bruised back and left shoulder...

Tyler Durden. Character from the book / film Fight Club. If you didn't see it, you definitely should do it. It's really inspiring (whereas it doesn't really congruents with the Fastlane).
