You were born with something special.
To become extraordinary.
A skill that only you can do in a particular way.
It was nature’s gift to you.
But as we grow up, society snatches it away from you.
Like a toy from a child’s hand.
And they replace it with their rules, morals, opinions.
They tell you,
“This is how it’s done.”
And the day you accept their ways, is the day your essence starts dying.
What could have been an extraordinary possibility, dies at the hands of mediocrity.
Do not obey. Do not bow down to their ways.
This is how your mind gets conditioned to do not what you want, but what they want.
Not how you want to do it, but how they like it.
The key to become extraordinary is to: PRESERVE YOUR ESSENSE.
All great men from Socrates to Galileo.
From Shakespeare to Bukowski.
From Da Vinci to Picasso
From Newton to Einstein.
From The Beatles to The Weeknd.
They all share one thing: Purity of their art.
They didn’t care how the world wanted it.
They said,
“This is what I made.”
And the world obliged.
Listen to your soul. It’s whispers what you want and how to do it.
How to be more creative and express yourself.
You have all the answers within.
Their opinions will only limit your intelligence. It will only becomes an obstacle.
For example,
You ask an expert, how much money can you make as a writer.
He says, “$10k a month, easy!”
If you look deep inside, it’s not an answer, it’s a limitation.
It has limited your mind to 10k.
Now your mind will work for only 10k, where you could have made 100k.
Remember this: Every answer you get from the outside world will limit you.
Only your own answers can take you where you wish to be.
Do not let them pollute your mind. Protect your mind’s purity.
Preserve your essence. Do let them limit you.
Find your own answers.
Ordinary people add more and more and get nowhere.
And the ordinary becomes extraordinary when he removes everything that’s keeping him getting what he wants.
Unlearn the needless.
Be limitless.
