Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate. Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own. Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society. Make these habits. Say no to everything else. Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media. Relax. Victory is assured.

Cola has no “taste memory.” For an addict, it can replace water entirely. Social media has infinite variation. For an addict, it can replace learning entirely. Porn can replace sex. Games can replace careers. Sugar can replace nutrition. Drugs can replace motivation. Entirely.
