GRIND BRO WE GOTTA GRIND BRO FUCKIN LEVEL UP BRO YOU NE-
Shut up dork.
Look, there are periods when you need to hone in your focus on a single, specific area of your life & commit to ruthless consistency.
But I don’t think most of us in America have a ruthless consistency problem. I think we have a vision problem.
American work culture is all about busyness, not productivity. Broad stroke, the modern office incentivizes looking really productive than actually being productive. This means our brains are always active, but not engaged. Anxious but not challenged. This is a form of hell. And what’s the solution to this?
Leaning out. Resting. NOT #grindset.
The question that arises when you retreat from chronic busywork is “why am I doing this?”.
Most of us don’t know what we truly want out of life. We don’t take serious time to think & experiment on this foundational piece of identity, belief & self-worth.
So we work ourselves to death on things that don’t matter OR we anxiously procrastinate on our phones to avoid confronting our inner void.
Brothers, relax.
Remove yourself from the work. Ask what your Inner Being wants out of life. Build a mental image of your ideal future. Have zero real world constraints - let God touch your imagination. Pray on it. Speak to friends. While doing so, avoid all media & screens.
Do not rush this process, but hold space for your soul to work.
As your brain learns to love true relaxation again, your creativity will spark. Connections will be made you’ve never dreamed of. A ray of sunlight will wash away the hazy mind with much needed clarity.
Eventually, you’ll learn two key things.
The first, you’ll learn what your intuition is calling you to do. No matter how scary or pointless it seems, be obedient. Implement the same ruthless consistency you have for pointless busywork onto following God’s clues.
Secondly, the distinction between anxiety & intuition. Rationalization is emotion disguised as logic. To the untrained mind, fear & gut feeling are very similar. But by resting, you’ll be able to silence the work anxiety. Enjoy the quiet. And for once, have ears to hear the truth.
I hope this helps Brothers.
