You must gain absolute clarity on your life’s purpose and the plan to make it real.
You can't affirm what hasn't yet been created. Affirmation, whether internal or external, only works when there's something—an idea, a vision, a plan—to affirm in the first place.
This may sound like abstract theory to a mind dulled by survival, but it's actually the key to invention, insight, and elevation.
Picture this:
Callum is an 18-year-old boy from France, poor and constantly pushed around by life. He’s bullied by stronger, wealthier boys. They take his toys, punch him in the face, and call him names that strip him of his dignity.
This continues for years—until, at 22, something changes.
One day, Callum is tending to a group of chicks at home. He looks away for just a moment, and a hawk swoops down like lightning and snatches one away.
He panics, runs after it, but it’s too late.
Frustrated, he turns back toward the house, only for his father—who’s been silently watching—to call out:
"Son, you could have stopped that hawk. But you didn’t, not because you couldn’t, but because you believed you couldn’t. You assumed it was faster, smarter, better than you. That same belief has kept you small your whole life. Bullied, beaten, resigned to fate. Not because you were weak—but because you never stopped to ask why this kept happening, or how to change it. Until you figure that out, life will always take from you."
You might be Callum.
Maybe worse.
No one believes in you.
No one checks in.
Life keeps coming at you—hard.
And quitting? Feels like the only option left.
But don’t fall into the trap.
The wise don’t quit. They reassess.
They ask better questions:
Why is this happening?
What can I change?
Is it my environment? My mindset? My habits?
Maybe you need to leave your toxic circle.
Maybe you need to start reading.
Maybe it's time you sought mentorship.
Maybe you just need to show up for yourself, properly—for once.
Because once you understand the "why", the "how" starts to reveal itself.
That’s your personal escape map from mediocrity.
Your struggle might not be spiritual.
It might just be a few missing moves.
Small actions, compounded daily, that lead to extraordinary outcomes.
Like:
Reading books that challenge you.
Taking courses that sharpen your craft.
Getting around people who think bigger.
Saying no to the friends who keep you small.
The key to rising out of the valley is hidden in the valley.
And your lever?
Knowledge. That’s what gives you leverage to climb the food chain.
Now take that step.
Stay sharp.
Stay hungry.
And stay hard.
CU.
