The Real World Official

You do not need a holiday in the mountains. You don’t need to relax on the beach. You need to close your eyes and retreat to the quiet and peaceful part of your mind. Peace exists in one place, inside of yourself. Or it doesn’t exist at all.

Chi is an internal fire. A weak flame can be extinguished by a wet log. But a strong chi, will dry out and engulf the wood growing the flame. What doesn’t kill you, makes you harder to kill. No matter what is thrown at my chi, no matter how large or wet, I engulf and grow stronger. Everything will burn.

Eventually, the male heart runs out of excuses for why he isn’t on the front line. Success and glory lie in battle against impossible odds. Safety leads to disaster and shame.

Most people die wishing they had rolled the dice more often. They would do anything for one more chance. Personally? I can't remember a single point in my life where the dice weren't already skimming along the craps table. Traveling to war zones on a sand buggy or fighting nation-states. Win or lose. I lived.

Duty is duty. There is nothing personal about what happens to you in the war. To shirk duty is to embrace a harsher punishment than brutal death - irrelevance.

1000 pushups, 300 squats, hours of Aikido, finished the history of Stone Wall Jackson (G), written 45 letters and now I’m beginning to write my book. How much work did you do today? Don’t be outperformed by a man in a prison cell.

Life is combat at the top. Everyone wants to get rid of you to get the money, power and influence that you have. If nobody is trying to take you out, you’ve already lost the game. Your life is something that nobody wants.

My workout is matching the pushups I see protesters do outside my window. We do them together 💪❤️

Comfort is not free. It is billed later, with interest. Every easy evening is borrowed from a harder morning that arrives years from now, all at once. The men who look free at 40 paid early. The men who paid nothing early are paying forever. Save this.

You only truly know a man once you fight beside him.

All character development is against your will.

When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.

The primary objective of life as a man is to build character. Aura. Chi. Power. This is why you want money, status, supporters, women, power etc. Jail is an Aura amplifier. Like seasoning on a steak.

Everyone in the prison was cheering and shouting along with the guys outside yesterday. As people marched and did pushups, the cell next door to me said “Tate, this for you? Man you the Top G for real” Tristan and I watched as much as possible from the window. Thank you all so much for the support. The entire world sees this is a setup. They will not win.

My dad always used to say "OUTSTANDING IN THE RAIN" As opposed to simply "outstanding" when he was impressed. I asked him. Dad, why the rain? And he replied "Son, any jackass can perform when the sun is shining"

I am highly attuned to my own state of mind. How do I feel right now? Why do I feel this way? Do I want to change it? If so, how? I pay attention to my neurochemistry. This is the first step to learning yourself. Think yourself happy/excited/ultra-aware etc.

The best thing about being one of the most famous men alive is spreading my dad's words to the world.

I grew up amongst chess grandmasters and learnt quickly that I only have a top 1% brain. Not a top 0.001% brain. However I am top 0.001% in bravery and endless action. This is why I am one of the most well-known people on earth.

Life is kaleidoscopic. At first, it looks random. With focus you see patterns. A dazzling infinity, colorful chaos, but truthfully it’s always beautiful.

Life is often you vs you, and somebody has to die.
