There is no one worth following as a guru. Those who succeed in today’s media landscape tend to excel at self-promotion, rather than possessing wisdom. There is no secret recipe to being better or more successful. There is no value in listening to anyone trying to sell something.
The truth lies waiting for you to do your own work of learning about yourself and seeking more and better information. Your process is your own. MY process is MY own.
I have listened to self-help and GTD and optimizing podcasts for years, and I have read more than a few related books, and yet. . . The real change in my life is not related to that consumption. To be fair, some of those things have given me motivation or ideas that I have utilized. But I have never seen progress by copying or following a prescription from someone else.
I am changing by deepening relationships, self-observation, and through my own research based on what I am interested in and/or find helpful.
I am taking a break from consuming other people’s opinions.
I saw some photos of the crowning of the British King, and all I can think is WTF does this exist?!?! It is insane to me. No one should “rule” over people as a king or queen, and nor should anyone be given that authority by way of wealth or celebrity.
