Of all the things I am lucky to have,
There is NOTHING I feel more gratitude for than the people I have the honour of calling my dear friends.
My closest & best friends, and the teachers and mentors I have the privilege of learning from.
People = #1.
The longer I live, the more deeply I understand this.
If I concentrate on how much love and gratitude I have for those who have taken the time to instruct me, train me, teach me...
I can summon tears within seconds.
Someone took hours of their finite life and spent them helping ME.
They could have done a thousand other things with that time.
Instead, they explained something again. Corrected me. Challenged me. Opened a door. Had the patience to guide me through something I could barely understand, until I could finally do it for myself.
How fucking lucky am I?
And then there are the friends whose camaraderie and shared wavelength alone makes me grateful to be alive.
People I can laugh with until my face hurts. Speak freely with. Exchange ideas between. Learn from. Rely upon.
People whose victories excite me as though they were my own.
When I think of how much of who I am has been shaped by these people, how much I carry with me because our paths happened to cross...
Good God.
I hope I make them feel even a fraction of the appreciation I have for them.
And it is my hope for all of you that you may arrive at a similar station.
Where a few names come to mind, and you immediately feel how fortunate you are.
If those names are already coming to you...
Tell them.
Let them hear it while they are here to receive it.
And in specific regard to teachers and mentors...
I extend this gratitude even to those whom I’ve never met, and those I will never have the chance to meet.
Some departed this world long before I entered it.
Yet I have spent hours in their company. Reading their words. Listening to their lectures. Wrestling with their ideas until something finally clicks, and I can see what they were trying to show me.
Think about how extraordinary that is.
Someone devotes their LIFE to understanding something, takes the trouble to preserve what they’ve learned...
And decades, sometimes centuries later, it reaches you at precisely the moment you are ready to receive it.
You get to begin where another man spent his entire life trying to arrive.
How could I feel anything other than profound gratitude?
There are people I will never be able to shake hands with, look in the eye, and say:
“Thank you. You have no idea how much you’ve helped me.”
So I endeavour to express it through what I DO with what they’ve given me.
To study it seriously. Put it into practice. Allow it to improve my character, my conduct, and what I am able to offer others.
And when the opportunity comes to pass something valuable on...
To give it the same care with which it was given to me.
This is the way.
Namaste.

"play stupid games win stupid prizes" has to be interpreted via your OWN soul's games, not society's
The stupidest game you could ever play could, potentially, be working your way up the safe career path or dating the textbook 'perfect person' that you have zero attraction to, interest in, or passion for
Most would read that sentence and interpret the opposite. They would view a "stupid game" as doing fun pointless shit when you could be shekelmaxxing or careermaxxing. "why have fun when you could strip your life of fun to acquire more achievement/stuff/status?". That is how the majority would interpret that. My interpretation is entirely opposite.
A "stupid game", IMO, is any game void of its color that you're forcing yourself to play to to fit into other people's definitions of the colorless life they want you to be living & will accept from you with no social resistance. Even empty conquering is empty. Empty giving is empty. Empty winning is empty. If the seed of the game is 0, any W's multiplied on top of it will still be 0. But if the seed has something special in it, no matter how seemingly "dumb" or "illogical", W's compound in a colorful way - but the irony is most won't understand. And that's the perpetual war. To experience color in your own world or to show a sanitized W to everyone else. 2 paths, different outcomes.
prizes you wanna win = the true games that you naturally enjoy playing that probably will seem pointless, wasteful, immature, unprofessional, unnecessarily intense, a 'terrible waste of your beautiful autism'- or any other label the spiritual color police will throw onto you to make you conform to their definitions of winning
Gag.
"what game should I play"
you already know. Question is can you let other people's needs for you (or your PERCEIVED needs for you), go

There has a lot happened in my life in the past 4-5 years, but one thing remains the same.
My goal to be #1
That is my ultimate goal. I want to be the best in what I do.
Become the standard.
Am I close? No
But my hunger, passion, and drive has always been there.
People have certain motives, trade, then eventually just sell a lot of things.
Trading is my primary motive. Always has, always will be. This is all I wanna accomplish in life. Singular goal.
This is all I think about 24/7.
There is not a cell my body that thinks other wise.
One day I’ll refer this, and refer to it proudly.
Til then, one day at a time amigos.

You need both the courage to actually take the shot & RISK your internal soul/world being seen/put on display by the outside world
And you also need the RESILIENCE to continually "put shots up" after you realize you actually didn't know as much about the world as you thought you did. "the courage to open yourself up and love again"
There is a "self-replenishment" aspect to your spiritual health that you must continually nourish to keep a bounce in your step. It's "seeing" a combination of detachment of outcome + infinite opportunity + love for life, all combined. These 3 perspectives merge into a strange form of spiritual cleaning formula & u can douse them over your soul like a shower. completely takes away all dirt, grit, dust. The "power trio". End result is ur sitting there thinking "that didn't go as planned but i'm ready to attack again with full force, both physically but also spiritually".
There is a spiritual component to "putting your entire self into the action". Because without consciously working through yourself, some parts get left behind. U might be slightly resentful, or regretful, or apathetic, or a combo of the 3, at least in some way - and these nagging threads must be chopped/eliminated so you can bring forward all of your best self, and put your best foot forward into the new shot/send - not from cope/denial-of-self, but from a genuine cleansing, opening up a "crack in the ceiling" that brings back genuine joy/love
U never want to get jaded. U need a personal system for dealing with "losses" (AKA your own mental model issues that couldn't move reality when you wanted it to move), and using that wisdom to make you more powerful. Anti-fragility. Every attack/loss makes you STRONGER and BETTER. "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger".
This spiritual buoyancy is a decision. But not 1 decision - it is continual decisions, forever. The conscious choice to ENGAGE, participate, and play.
Most fall out of love with the game because they were never in love with the game in the 1st place. They just wanted the result. The fruit. But that is wrong target. Ur soul doesn't have 'staying power' in the realm of material - it is only love for the game, whatever game that is to u. When ur in correct lane, much of this process is natural - because fun just naturally carries u forward. Why would u car that u fucked up the note if it obly means you get to sing that part again

I'm missing so much,
Magnesium is so much more than what it could ever fit in a twitter post. This post will barely to it justice.
Chances are, you reading this, are deficient.
Mag up. Now.

There are many "lessons" you can only "officially learn" when you quite literally ride them all the way down to hell
They are the ones that throughout your life will subtly strip your spirit of vitality, that you still refuse to let go of, believing you are correct, until God places so much pressure on your hand squeezing that belief that your grip strength just snaps & you're finally forced to let go
Many beautiful lessons forged in pain
Good men must violently defend the light
