Today I:

  • Finished reading the Path of Least Resistance + started reading Truth Vs Falsehood
  • Wrote youtube script
  • Recorded video
  • Did 100 pushups + stretched

Im slowly building back some momentum. I feel like thats the key in this work. Do something everyday to take you closer to your goals, even if its little. The hardest part is starting completely from scratch, like cold starting an engine. I remember in high school when I would run 40+ miles a week, it was easy to go out for a 5k run, almost automatic and habitual. Just stay in the groove of writing and recording a little bit every day and some days Ill end up writing a few thousand words, but the key is to just sit at the desk and produce a couple crappy pages no matter what. 

The Path of Least Resistance was really good. It opened my eyes to how I was letting myself be controlled by external circumstances and the mechanisms behind why I always seem to self sabotage when I get close to my goals. Make the choice to be the creator in your life, hold the vision of what you want to create, and take action to close the discrepancy of current reality and the reality we want to create.

I haven been updating due to school and tripping. Ive tripped 3 times over past couple weeks every friday. Crazy insights. Ive mostly been writing down in a physical journal. I will probably still use this as a inspiration/vision board. 

^^^ Big insight was into my life purpose. I realized almost all of what I want to do boils down to being a great writer. With being a great writer ill be able to be write great screenplays, books, blog posts, standup comedy, youtube videos, sales copy, music, etc. 

^^^ Isaac Asimov wrote over 200 books and collaborated on close to 500. The secret was just relentless consistency of a minimum of 1000 words a day. He said later in his career that he wrote 2000 words a day. SImple mathematics of constant effort.

If I write 1000 words a day starting today, by the time im 60, ill have written the equivalent of like 100 books. I wrote 1000 words yesterday, but it was for a school essay, the essay was pretty good though so I count it as some skill improvement. I started reading the book, the artists way, and it gave the exercise of morning pages where you write 3 pages pen and paper stream of consciousness style first thing in the morning. I am going to start doing this.

^^ This is sick. I want to find a way to do this with film. I think of horton hears a who, where theres an entire world living in  a flower. 

^^ I want to learn a lot of languages, like 10+. 1. French 2. Spanish 3. Portugeuse 4. Italian 5. German 6. Russian 7. Japanese 8. Swedish 9. Turkish 10. Korean. From my research, it seems that you can get conversationally fluent in like 3 months for any language (moreso for those close to english) if you go hard and immerse yourself in the culture and get like 8-12+ hours of "comprehensible input" per day. I want to travel europe by the time I am 30. And also road trip around USA.

I went to the movies today and yesterday. I saw the new ethan coen movie "Drive Away Dolls", and then the oscar nominees "Poor Things" and "American Fiction"

^^ This was dissapointing. Pretty boring and pointless, although some funny moments. 5/10

^^^ This was definitely deserving of a nomination. Great performances, cinematography, and story. A new take on frankenstein? although it was based on a book. 8+/10

^^^ I also enjoyed this one. Very funny and had an interesting message. Only negative was a kind of boring side story. Also based on a book (interesting how 3 or 4 of the oscar movies this year were based on books) 7.5/10

I am probably going to see Anatomy of a Fall this weekend

^^^ Also watched this yesterday. Great advice. Just cut out all of the pettiness and human bullshit and just focus on doing great work and providing value. Anything else is a distraction from your true purpose
