Deep dives
The Malleability of Character and Self-Concept
Your character, defined by your concept of self, is malleable and can be changed despite the discomfort or resistance you may feel. It is shaped by the environment and information you have absorbed since childhood. Society has set default trajectories for individuals, but conscious choices can alter these paths. The fate of humanity, like that of all life forms, hinges on making intelligent and conscious decisions, avoiding living robotically.
The Paradox of Personal Development
Life is like a game hosting infinite games, with external pursuits and internal mastery representing the two main fruitful macro games. External goals must align with internal growth to avoid superficiality. Progressing outward while delving inward enhances your level of mind, allowing you to perceive the game's structure and solve obstacles. Internal struggles are essential for advancing to the next level of mind and understanding life's lessons.
Self-Architecture and Personal Fulfillment
To reinvent yourself, strike a balance between peace and progress, melding both into a unified approach. Starting with superficial goals and working inwards helps you build a compelling personal philosophy. Acquire necessary skills and knowledge, embracing challenges for personal growth. Turning valuable pursuits into contributions creates a meaningful business model, with intrinsic philosophy guiding your entrepreneurial path.
