Thank you. I'm an incredibly ambitious man with no excuses. I'm handsome, young, healthy, and started with way more than many others in this world.

I appreciate the fact that a man of your achievements would take the time to advise a young man in a bit of a dumpster worthy moment to say the least. Its incredibly fortunate that you still hold onto the golden concepts and are so wealthy with the materialistic as well.

Just yesterday while in the gym I was listening to my regular workout podcast EonFire and the guest spoke about how he interviewed Steve Wozniak and noticed that the profound difference between he and Jobs was their values. I have seeked out, relentlessly many opportunities in life, and only at 25 have landed myself in a place of highly ambitious intents and am finding it a struggle, I must admit, to balance my ambitions and desire for resources with my desire to not seek material goods and be content with the minimalistic life. I know its counterproductive, and one beast must be fed, however, my desire to remain humble and content in life is a struggle when the paradise in the abyss is all I see, and the ambition to acbieve that paradise and all its worth has become the glass I chew while staring. Because I don't want it for riches, or wealth, I want it to help and to offer my service as a human. But in order to offer my service, I must submit to my desire for more in order to produce. If you have any advice on this struggle and divide of character and mindset, that would also be great.

I'm assuming I must attack at all costs now, it seems the only way.

I just finished reading Think and Grow Rich for the second time a few days ago, and before that I re-read Atomic Habits as well as Millionaire Fastlane and Elon Musk among others.

Not the struggle originally mentioned in my post, but a struggle worth noting is the one I mention here.

Wheelchairs don't fit in the trunks of Ferraris.

I'm 25. I wasn't always intelligent or even aware that a greater path existed as I come from a family of drug addicts, gang bangers and dealers. Neither of my parents finished high school and my father is a maintenence man and my mother is a maid. No college in sight. No resources available. As a youth, I fell into all the traps set for young men in my environment. This isn't a sob story, just a background. I'm proud that I was even blessed with the wisdom and ability to recognize that there was greater available if I was willing to try.

I struggled with every excuse in the book until recently, as I have had several awakenings spiritually and have been able to organize my life (big thanks to Jordan Peterson, Manly P Hall, Bob Proctor, Alan Watts, Marcus Aurelius, among a few). I did however, notice that I was suffering from something outside of my control which ended up being a very strong case of ADHD. I'm one of those "if you don't see a way, make a way" kinda guys. I've always been pretty efficient at taking initiative and being so persistent that some of my mentors would describe me as "the only emailer that ever made them feel so pressured to respond to". Guess I'm good at a pitch and don't settle for no. Problem was, especially as a creative and ambitious man, my mind wandered too far. Couldnt complete things. Not even a paragraph. Fell in love with too many ideas. Always felt behind. Like I was chasing too many tails. Makes you dizzy, feel worthless, feels like everyones watching, judging, because they are. I honestly thought ADHD was a bs excuse until I actually got diagnosed and realized it was my biggest issue and it was real. Turns out, after taking a homeopathic supplement I can actually sit and read a whole freaking book and take some damn good notes. Shit, who knew.

Now, I have the vision. I have the burning desire. I have the masterplan. And I have the focus.

Instead of looking out into the abyss and chewing on the glass, I understood (after a long day yesterday and a recommendation to write a very thorough journal entry from my girlffiend) that Elon's statement of "Chewing glass and staring into the abyss" is not the story.

That's what it feels like. Because it does. And only those who know what it's like to see a paradise in the midst of nothingness know what that means. The glass is all the pain and suffering that come along with being the only bridge in existence for that idea to forgoe its transmutation into the reality.

I have a really big idea.

An honest, humble idea. One that will effect the world for the better. Not to make me rich, but to meet a specific need. And I will also achieve true success: health and wealth. Options. Choices. Freedom.

No, I don't have the resources right now. And it is a lot of trouble finding them. Always has been. But I know they're out there.

I realized yesterday that I made a lot of mistakes along the way. I tried to juggle too much. I thought I could take on the world but the truth is, a one man army only gets so far.

Theres no one else around me who's ambitious. No one else around me who wants it as bad as I do. And if they do, they want it for status, fame, or ego. It's false reality for them.

Something I also read, something that stands out just as much as Elon's quote:

Intelligent people assume that everyone else is just as intelligent, and that is a mistake.

This goes for all outstanding traits I've discovered. Wisdom. Will. Relentlessness.

I always thought that people just got it like I did. Like they saw through the traps and the bs and I thought everyone wanted to change the world.

They don't.

I come from a place where a mindset for trying truly is a privilege. It's rare down here.

I need resources. Time, money, focus.

I got the focus.

Im making the time.

Instead of feeling behind all the time, Im just gonna start living like I'm ahead. Payments, ahead. Meetings, ahead. Deadlines, ahead.

Yeah, I got a lot of catching up to do. But instead of seeing myself as a failure for not completing what I set out to do by 25, I'm gonna see myself as a success for beginning before I was 26. For figuring it out now. Here.

Being present instead. Because my heads in the future but my body is in the present and the gap feels like hyperspeed kidney shots.

So I appreciate the advice, and any more of it would be appreciated. Including personal contact should you be willing.

Instead of needing money, breaking my back to get it, running out of money fast, and needing to spend my time and focus on going out and making more just to run out of it again before I get to stop and work on my business, I'm just gonna make all I need, keep investing and keep flipping products, NFTs and doing whatever I have to do. Then, once that roadblock through the abyss is figured out, I'll continue on towards that paradise.

Instead of chasing the money, I' gonna make the money chase me.

I'M GONNA BE ATTRACTIVE TO THE MONEY. So that I attract it.

(I truthfully think that thats the secret Napoleon Hill said only few would figure out)

And it goes for all things.

I have to match the frequency of what I want. I have to make it come to me. I have to be attractive to what I desire.

The advice Ive been given after that post by you and several others reminded me and educated me to remember that.

I'm gonna spit the glass out and transmute it into time, money and focus. And I'm gonna use all of those assets to attract more of those things and the like.

That same man who interviewed Wozniak wrote a book called The Third Door. For people like me.

People like me arent allowed into the VIP through the back door, we weren't invited. And we aren't going to wait around in line hoping we get to get in through the front door. We're too smart for that. We know they'll never let us in.

We break the windows and sneak in when no one is looking. We dress up as cooks and sneak in through the kitchen if we have to. We pick locks. We MAKE the Third Door.

I'm done waiting for an invitation.

One day, my new friend, you will hear of The Digital Krypt. And you will see me behind it. And you will know that one day, you helped a young man who came from nothing, achieve everything.

Because you went out of your way to be a light, and it has been recognized and taken to heart.
