Unable to be miserable

 Hope you enjoy the read! : ) 


I’m sure we’re all used to hearing life is short, brief, and will end soon. But for me… I believe life to be UNBELIVABLY long. More than enough time to make it worth it. I’ll try to explain why I think this way.


Mentally I like to believe I was raised by myself, as much of my time as a teenager was alone. And one thing built in me over time was always wanting to spend my time in a way to be closer to who I want to be. Might sound weird at first and maybe exhausting, but it actually is what made me want to always spend my time in a productive way. Everyday was an opportunity to be better.

With time…. I was slowly achieving what I wanted to achieve. I wanted to learn a new language, I did it. A new random skill, got it. Learn how to cook? I’m cooking. 

Spending everyday trying to be who I wanted to be made it worth it. It gave me purpose.

And it made me realise that if as young as I am, I’m already this close to achieving what I wanted to achieve, how will I still live, I don’t know, 70 years? How will I spend all this time if I’m already here? That’s PLENTY of time, even if you’re older you still have SO MUCH TIME to use running after what you want for yourself. Don’t live a life just wishing to be someone, wishing won’t bring you there.


An important note is that working on myself didn’t make me happy. I’ll talk about it in another post regarding discipline. But it made me be unable to be miserable, as I was never disappointed with myself.


So what’s the lesson here? We only have this life, but it is more than long enough to be who you want to be. I strongly believe if you’re there, you can’t be miserable, because you WON’T allow that, as you’re strong enough.


That’s it for today, hope I managed to transfer the right message. I’m still improving my writing skills and finding good ways to make the sentences click with people, but I’m having fun : )


See you tomorrow! (I’ll probably talk about discipline, or better, the non-need for discipline)
Imagine i'm in front of you talking about life really moving my hands and doing faces. That's basically how it looks like talking to me

Mental pillars

  Hope you enjoy the read : ) Today I’d like to talk about a concept I was thinking about today which I'm pretty sure already exists, but I didn’t search so for all I care I created it. Mental pillars. Mental pillars is the name I gave to describe what makes us behave the way we do, what makes us NOT allow ourselves to do certain things, and what defines our values. For example: If you’re in a relationship, and you’re someone really loyal, you have a strong mental pillar for loyalty. You WON’T allow yourself to cheat in any way, you’d feel horrible, it defines who you are. Another great example in my case specifically would be to ALWAYS do what I have to do every single day, like exercising to name one. It’s harder to skip a day of exercise. It’s how I am, who I am. I can’t betray myself. I hope it makes sense. All of this got me thinking about the things that we do, but wouldn’t like to. Drinking is a classic. Many people drink, they know it’s horrible for them, but they can’t r...

Eventually. It's greed and pride

Hope you enjoy the read! : ) If you’re wondering how I manage to think of things to write here, I literally just sit for about a minute and just write the first interesting thought that comes to mind. A while back, I faced myself with the question:  “When does it stop?” I wasn’t referring to when does the emotions stop, when does peace finally arrive no no no no no, I meant when will I be satisfied with all I achieved? When do I stop striving for more?  I imagine you might be a bit confused by that, but let me explain. A few days ago, at night time, I didn’t have work to do, I already did everything I had to, but I still wanted more, I wanted to go further, to work more, to be even greater. So I started thinking of another big skill that I could learn so that MR TAYRONE gets even better. It had to be something that I could do by myself, alone, and all it took was determination.  Learning a new language came to mind. Another one. I already speak 3 languages, Portuguese, En...

Ready for anxiety

  Hope you enjoy the read! : ) You know when you wake up on the absolute best side of the bed?  That’s how I woke up today. Anyway, today I’m talking about something that I don’t know how I didn’t talk about before. Everything happens when you’re ready for it. You’ll only be there where you wish to be when you’re ready. You get used to what you’re going through.  You might have heard from this topic already, but this is a really good ice cream I promise. So, what better way to explain a topic than by associating it to my life? : ) It’s easier this way as I really know what I’m saying. As some people may know, I work in a business as a CEO. Which means a TON of responsibilities, worries and meetings. It might sound… Hellish, but I like it, I was made for this. Throughout all this work, I’ve noticed the growth in my experience and in the pressure from everyone. As you might imagine, this tends to bring a bit of anxiety, and it did, but obviously anxiety shouldn’t stop you f...
