Morning everyone. Thread today. A bit of philosophy and ancient tales. If you liked the thread, please share it, thanks, see you Friday morning. https://twitter.com/viamvirtus/status/1615740838965051399?s=20&t=NtrL73PDHNFZDv_uHyDqYw

Your masterpiece Good morning Small reminder that you are the equation of your habits. And even if you feel like you're behind, you can always start over. Every day is a chance to paint a part of the canvas of your life. Every morning you have the opportunity to choose the ink. And the more days you spend painting with the right ink. The more the canvas will be the one you dream of. But there is a finite number of repetitions you can do. And that canvas is bound to have a final design. Not knowing when it will end. It is wiser to spend each day trying to paint it as best you can. That way, if it all comes to an end. We can look at it with pride. And leave with a light heart.

Hi everyone. Kinda busy this week. I'm in the middle of a lot of things. I have a lot of work and not a lot of time to write. I still wrote a thread about Batman and the philosophy of Rock Bottom. Hope you'll enjoy it. See you soon. Coming back Monday. https://twitter.com/viamvirtus/status/1613928915570925570

I have an email hitting in 30 minutes. It is a journaling exercise to have a long term plan for your life. If you are kinda lost about your goals. Don't miss it and add your mail here. https://viam.substack.com/about

About reading. Read as much as you can. I try to read a book a week. That's how I get so much writing done. The flow of ideas never stops when you read every day. Read fiction. Non fiction. Everytime you feel stuck in your life : read. Ideas are little lights that connect to each other. But you have to turn some on for the big one to light up. Sometimes you'll connect ideas from several books to find the idea that will help you in your life. Take the test and see for yourself. Read a lot more throughout this year and compare your income levels.

Hi everyone. Hope your having some great holiday. Just released the chapter 3 of my tiny novel. If you want to read chapter 1 / 2, there are links in the post. Have a great week. https://viam.substack.com/p/leo-phi-chapter-3

We are born in pain. Our very birth takes place amidst screams, blood, pain... chaos. A woman undergoing the worst torments this world has to offer to create the most beautiful thing. Out of immeasurable pain comes immeasurable happiness, adding a new life to the family. Sometimes I get angry at my mother or my ex-wife. Then I remember that they both spent nine months. One carried me. The other carrying my children. And one excruciating night giving birth. Then my thoughts calm down. They gave me gifts that I can never repay. Think about that when you are in pain. From the worst pain can come the greatest gift.

About reading Reading too much extreme content will ruin your ability to bond. You'll sabotage your own relationship and stay in the rage loop. You can't build a romantic relationship by reading woman-hating content every day. Hate is a destructive feeling. You can never attract something you hate. Why on earth would you need to read that stuff anyway? The main focus should be you. Education. Earning money. Dressing well. If you are the right man, the right women will show it. Every moment you spend in a useless activity is time wasted to improve yourself.

Regret Years ago, I wrote a complete novel. It had 20 chapters. I needed to edit it. With a bad cut and paste. I deleted the last 5 chapters. I was terrified when I realized I had no backup. After that, I didn't write for months. And I never had the courage to write them again. There was a whole world. A post-apocalyptic world. A rather mundane beginning. Humans who had destroyed everything. And a girl who had to survive. At the time, I really liked The Walking Dead. I had always wanted to explore this universe. I even wanted to do a trilogy. I was obsessed with that story for years. I thought about it day and night for a long time. I spent a year and a half writing it. I was attached to my character. And I lost it. It's probably a blessing in disguise. Although I only see the disguise and not the blessing at this point. Life goes on despite the losses. We forget how much we've suffered. And in the end, it's just another story to tell. Regret didn't bring my 5 chapters back to life. I felt bad for months...for nothing. "Do not regret what you have done." Miyamoto Musashi

About reading. I was reading the Almanack of Naval Ravikant. It's a free book. You should read it. It takes max 4 hours to read it. Lot of interesting quote in it. He said two things about reading. "Reading is one of the reason of my success." And to answer "What would be the two most important thing you would say to your own kids?" "To read" It's a new year. Raise your standard. One book a month is a minimum if you have some free time.

Good morning. I have several DM to catch up on Telegram. Forgive me, life is kinda intense in this beginning of the year. I'll catch up soon. If i didn't, sent me a new one or comment on this post. Chapter 1 of my short story is out. I propose you to embark in Leo's journey for the adventure of a lifetime. I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Have a nice week ! https://viam.substack.com/p/leo-phi-chapter-1

"Can I be a gentleman even if I am poor?" Being a gentleman is a matter of mindset. A choice about how you want to live your life. And... Class cannot be bought. I'll further add that a gentleman has the power to make others feel comfortable around him. And sometimes you need money to do that. If you are young, and behave like a true gentleman, you will quickly rise from poverty, because a gentleman does not have a peasant mentality. A gentleman knows that he needs money because money is power. But when he doesn't have it, it doesn't prevent him from acting with class and discernment. We really need to get rid of this idea of money and value. Your money does not make you valuable. Would a man who is worthless and wins the lottery suddenly be "better"? Only in the eyes of superficial people. To be a gentleman is to be useful to the world around you. While defending one's values firmly. A gentleman acts with his honor, his pride, his benevolence. And you don't have to be rich to have all this.

Thank you but be careful. From time to time, people ask me for advice on life. I feel they trust my judgment, but it's a dangerous thing to do. You should never outsource your thinking. That's how false prophets lead to a doomed road. They start by saying a lot of good things... Finding, finally, someone who puts the right words to your feeling. But... The prophet changes with time. The quality of his thinking keeps deteriorating for many reasons. Problem: you trust him You trusted him when he was right and now... You trust him when he is wrong. I'm flattered, it's always nice to be seen as smart or wise. But I will change. And I don't even know if I'm going to change for the better or worse. So, don't give someone blind trust based on actions from their past. That's your best way to protect yourself. Never outsource your thinking. They may have more power, more knowledge, more authority... Who cares? You have to think for yourself. Follow your heart and your gut. Only.

You are sabotaging yourself Anything that activates your dopamine system without you having to make any effort should be removed. You are sabotaging your reward system and creating an alternate reality where you don't have to make an effort to receive pleasure. Let me rephrase that with a clear message. If you watch porn every day. You are sabotaging all your abilities, you are ruining your life, your present, your future, your energy level, your social life. You are destroying your brain with false messages. You are destroying your whole life. It's much more serious than you think. You are digging your own grave Same thing with pot, alcohol, video games... Anything that can trigger pleasure without effort. Stay away from the poison, cut out all that crap and focus on what gives you pleasure after an effort. Reprogram your brain with healthy circuits. Your future depends on it.

The secret I relaunched this account two months ago. I made over a million impressions during the month of November. I could give you the secrets but there aren't any. I wrote 2 threads a week, no matter what. I just sat in a chair and tried to produce the best. The first week, I gained almost no followers. The first month I only gained back 200 followers. The second, almost 1000. I wanted to stop after the first week. I told myself that it didn't make much sense. That everyone had moved on. Or maybe I wasn't that good. But in the end, I persisted. I analyzed what was wrong and found solutions. I created my own reality by working hard. These words are to tell you not to give up. If things go wrong, look for solutions. Don't stop until you find them. Be brave. PS : i opened a medium page where i store some threads and some long form content, if you can follow me here, thank you https://medium.com/@viam_
