axioms

  • synchronicities.

    my life has been a revelation of interwoven synchronicities, it’s like a never ending loop of i knew it, i felt that, or i kinda perceived that but i couldn’t quite articulate it. everything has something to teach me – the instructions, the experiences, the results, the cards i’m dealt, the choices i make, the…

  • self-expression.

    self-expression – the expression and subsequent effulgence of your why and why you are is up there with the loudest markers of true freedom.

  • mastery.

    mastery is dominion expressed in dexterity.

  • the cycle of innovation.

    inventors in history were people who gave intellectual context to already existing intangible realities. they contextualized things that people knew but couldn’t quite explain. things like desires, needs and knowledge that was crying out to be expressed and established as wisdom. the understanding of these inherent desires that needed satisfaction led them to taking up…

  • why?

    why? is probably the most important question in life, in every context. you’d be shocked at the secrets revealed; mysteries discovered; truths unearthed; seals unlocked, and scrolls unbuckled when you ask or wonder why long enough.

  • process and keys.

    every process ends when the key to the next door is found. this key might be a lesson, an experience, a dimension of wisdom, higher light, or whatever is a building block whether tangible or intangible but one thing is constant, processes end and begin with the deciphering of keys or the realization of the…

  • understanding how the world works.

    you can’t optimize a concept you don’t understand, you can’t change a system you’re not well versed in, and you definitely can’t have dominion in a realm without a sound understanding of the rules and systems of governance. so if you’re trying to change the world, your first port of call is to understand how…

  • relative obscurity.

    being hidden for a time is a gift. you get to make the best reiterations, understand your essence, discern your unique prints and refine your perspective while you define your why and know why you are. you truly make the best adjustments in aggregated personal development while you’re relatively unknown or better put, in isolation.…

  • ideas: flashes of thoughts and impressions.

    there’s a better version unveiled and revealed in every idea when you respect the original idea; ideas are seeds and fruits bloom from every idea that was planted and tended to as a seed. they come as flashes of thoughts and impressions and writing them down is the first level of acknowledging value.

  • voices.

    so many voices yet none is without signification; reverberating infection or inspiration and paradoxically some find a way to do both. a lot of people walk around with engineered thoughts and mindsets and they’re mostly unaware of this fact. i humbly appeal to you to be sure that you understand why you believe what you…

  • true or truth?

    it’s disingenuous to attempt to establish half-truths as absolutes. it could be dangerous too because true isn’t truth. if it requires some sort of context then it might be true but truths are true regardless of the context.

  • experience and leadership.

    experiences – both good and bad, give you testaments, and the aggregation of these testaments count as one of the qualifying components for leadership.

  • the illusion of not giving a fuck.

    i think you should absolutely give a fuck, but only about things that set your heart on fire, causes that are worth living and dying for, solutions that posterity would appreciate you for, legacy, impact, and destiny. not giving a fuck is an illusion of a great sell of strategic complacency, selfishness and repugnant stagnancy.

  • faith, patience and trust.

    faith, patience and trust. these three go together, inherently inseparable.

  • embrace your unique prints.

    embrace your unique prints. there’s no glory in being the cheap copy of a great original. there’s a place for imitation – of patterns, principles, precepts and structures but not for a trade-off of your essence. those unique prints when understood and refined are the very markers that define, separate and reveal you to your…

  • on voyages.

    the voyage from point A to B isn’t always as straightforward as it sounds on paper, because in that navigation, you have to solve for x, y, z. these tests teach you so much more than the navigation itself, you get to learn on the job and molt into an adept sailor qualified for voyage…

  • growth as a ticker.

    the underlying asset in constructing an impeccable mindset is growth.

  • birthpangs.

    stretching and birthpangs come with every pregnancy. you accept it with every breaking forth, it’s one of the things you charge to the game. it answers to the law of cause and effect.

  • sincerely wrong.

    assumption can be, scratch that, is a very expensive luxurious item, you pay with pain and time. it’ll cost you significantly less to ascertain that you’re accurate. you can be sincerely wrong. wherever you can, be sure that you’re not.

  • awareness.

    how you act and react in the world largely contributes to how you’re perceived and received in the world because there’s a subconscious effulgence of your essence which is really an amalgamation of your consciousness, your knowledge bank, the structure of your mental modules and your body language that you transmit and being unaware of…
