🔥Be the main character. (It is your story anyway)


Most people act like NPCs.

Not because they are, but because they fail to reach their full potential.

They do the jobs that are comfortable and don't need much personal agency.

They complain about life, but they chose the average path.

They let life lead, rather than leading life.

They are taking the role of an NPC in their own story.

The point is this:

Your mind wants to be the main character.

Because YOU ARE the main character.

The main character of your own story.

You DON'T need to go to a job you hate, where people treat you like shit.

You DON'T need to work as a cashier at Aldi (even though they "pay well")

You DON'T need to be stuck in traffic every single day.

You DON'T need to argue with your significant other.

You DON'T need to do something you don't want to do.

This is all your mental programming, based on the influence of your parents, teachers, or the government.

Comfort is your enemy.

Believing your parents without critical observation is comforting.

Trusting your "teacher", without wanting their lives, is delusional.

Following the government's path is digging your own grave.

Those who execute their superior’s orders without internal analysis "enjoy" power.

Power favours those who execute orders without hesitation or self-doubt. (Inspiration: 48 laws of power)

People who are not aware of this have a character flaw.

Don't get me wrong here; not being where you want to be is NOTHING negative. The problem occurs without being mindful and attentive about it.

When I was 15, I questioned my teacher heavily in school, and yes, they did dislike me for that.

I was just 15 years old, but I knew I didn't want to end up like 99% of people and be stuck in the "matrix."

I am 26 now, and I still haven't "made" it.

Yes, I had a start-up at 21.

Yes, we made 300k a year.

But none of this money landed in my pockets or gave me any freedom; rather, the opposite.

I am like you on the journey towards the life I want to live. (The infinite game)

I am just sharing my story and learnings online, helping people who are a few steps behind me by sharing my experiences.

I am aligning with the natural hierarchical order of being both a student and a master simultaneously. It's like being a parent; you try to be a good master or teacher towards your kids, but never miss being a student or a kid yourself, learning from people further in life than you and continually sharing your knowledge and wisdom with your kids.

We are all children of the greater will.

If we distance ourselves from the source, we fall.

As the story of the Tower of Babel. (The Tower of Babel is a story as a cautionary tale about human pride and overreach—an attempt to reach heaven (or god-like status) through human effort alone.)

How To NOT Be An NPC

To clarify, an NPC is a Non-Playable-Character.

He is just there to elevate the main character's story.

He is just there to fill the world, not to make it look empty.

I doubt you want to be an NPC.

And to not end up as an NPC, we need to follow what we want, to get the life we want.

The true test of intelligence is if you get what you want out of life. - Naval

But without the cost to others.

Without building another McDonald's that makes people sick, where the fries are so full of antibiotics that no antibiotics in hospitals are effective anymore.

Without creating another Coca-Cola, where you could clean toilets with.

Without relying on addictive and perfectly dopamine-triggering food, that spikes your blood sugar levels higher than the Burj of Khalifa, followed by a fall deeper than the Mariana Trench.

Rather, building a life to serve humankind and raising the collective consciousness.

Yes, people might get it wrong.

Yes, people might blame you for making ruthless business decisions.

Yes, people will judge you because they don't see the bigger picture.

Yes, people might get offended because your perspective doesn't align with theirs.

But most people blame others, for not having the courage to be disliked themselves.

They judge rather than take action.

They follow, instead of leading.

They copy, instead of emulating.

"They are NPCs" that fill the world and help the main character look good.

To not be an NPC, you need to learn the courage to be disliked.

To stand behind your word.

To think for yourself.

To walk with God.

To learn to "listen to yourself" (to God) and learn to distance the voice between God and the voice of trauma, self-doubt and influence.

How To Be The Main Character

Everyone in this world is the main character if they choose to be.

But I would assume 99% of people (looking at the world as a whole) are not aware of this.

You have a life mission, a purpose, a gift from God.

But most people would rather listen to their narcissistic, status-driven, low-integrity boss, instead of having the courage to do it themselves.

They follow the plan of someone else, trying to reach heaven with their tower of Babel, which is there to fall.

If you see the world, you might see a shift:

  • People want to eat healthier.
  • People quit their jobs to start their businesses.
  • People work fewer hours and avoid hustle culture.
  • Increasing numbers of people are converting to Christianity and following the path of Jesus Christ.

People are gradually becoming increasingly aware.

Not from the outside, but from the inside.

  • They avoid scrolling on social media and listen to their inner voice.
  • They avoid processed food and listen to what their body needs.
  • They stop listening to others and listen to themselves.

Everyone has a life mission, a purpose, an inner compass.

But many don't listen to it.

They distract themselves with status games, women and materialistic pursuits.

They don't follow their inner compass.

Distancing themselves from their purpose and ultimately happiness.

Becoming more and more NPCs of another's storyline.

IF YOU DON'T CREATE, someone who is goal-driven with higher narcissistic tendencies will bring the world more and more into the shadow, instead of getting it into the light.

These people are highly driven, often by lower-level and materialistic pursuits.

If you think:

"This product already exists."

"There are already too many creators."

"Or what would make the difference in doing the same thing as others?"

You are giving these people a higher chance to succeed.
Compete against them.
Make it difficult for them.

This is only possible if you stand up.

If you become bold.

If you dare to be disliked.

If you fight for your beliefs.

Don't die for someone else.

Die for your inner compass.

For your product.

For your business.

For your purpose.

Think of this:

There are people in the military, dying for "their country".

This is just stupid. (Sorry to say this)

You kill other humans, just because someone created an "imaginary border".

Created a passport that says you are German, Russian, American or whatever.

They look at them, Oh, your skin colour is different. Your gene has a 0.1% difference from my gene.

Or you have a different religion.

This is not love.

Love is giving, not taking.

Giving without expectation of receiving something in return.

This is love.

Be Wrong. Make The Mistake. Learn From It. Repeat.

People are increasingly afraid of making mistakes nowadays.

But pain is life's greatest teacher.

You can't have a strong character without a painful past.

An individual's success can be measured by how well they tolerate pain.

  • Training is pain.
  • Starting a business is painful.
  • Handling difficult conversations in relationships is painful.

But also working a job you hate, for a boss you hate, in an environment you hate, is pain.

But it is your perception of pain.

You watch all these characters from Jack Sparrow, over Neo, to Geralt of Rivia or Lara Croft, and you feel engaged in their movies or games.

You feel immersed, driven, and motivated while watching or playing, but you might not have realized that their entire journey is filled with pain. Until they reach the goal and the movie or game comes to an end.

And then, a few years later, there is the sequel, another painful story striving towards the main character's goal.

Stab into Davy Jones' heart. Escaping the matrix. Finding Ciri and killing the Wild Hunt. Finding "El Dorado" (just a Golden City in the story).

However, they all go through cycles of pain, which shape their character and strengthen their soul.

  • Without pain, there is no light.
  • Without pain, there is no reward.
  • Without sacrifice, there is no pleasure at the end.

Dopamine feels good when you achieve something you've worked for.

Pleasure before work is a dead end.
  • If you lose a significant amount of money.
  • If you lose a loved one.
  • If you get injured.

You gain clarity.

Whatever brings you closer to a clear mind is worth the cost.

Write Your Own Story. (A Custom Tailored Suit.)

In my opinion, one of the worst things that can happen to me is losing autonomy. Not freedom. Freedom is different from what most people would assume, as discussed in last week's newsletter.

If you missed it: Everything You Know About FREEDOM Is WRONG.​

People don't look for freedom, they look for autonomy.

Autonomy is what most people seek, but only a minority have it, despite their financial situation.

You can be a top-notch CEO, making millions every year.

But can you take a day off?

Are you not bound to anything?

Do you truly have complete control, or are you executing the board's will?

(The people who control the money are the ones who have pure autonomy, but this is for another day…)

99.99% of people are in a way limited.

Death is probably the only thing we can achieve of pure "freedom".

You want to live your life on your terms. A custom-tailored suit. A life you chose, not a life assigned to you.

1) You want to have complete autonomy over your day and routine.

Fine-tuning every single thing, perfectly aligned with how you envision your day, how your focus goes, your energy levels and who you spend your time with.

This requires self-awareness and a clear sense of your values.

2) You want to have pure psychological autonomy.

Not bound to the opinion of your family, of your colleagues or your boss. Not subconsciously acting on mental programming.

This requires emotional maturity and independent thinking.

3) You want to take action, without the agreement or guidance of others.

You want to solve your problems, not the problems of others.

This requires being an entrepreneur and a "creator", which is creative work.

You want to execute your craft and earn money, simultaneously.

One without the other is a dead end.

The craft is about being a creator, whether through writing, building, crafting, filming, painting, talking, reading, or other creative endeavours.

The entrepreneur is how you monetize this creative pursuit.

You want to find a way to do your creative work while being paid.

Being a philosopher, writer, and painter, like DaVinci.

You want to paint on a piece of tissue and sell it for a million.

Because you have achieved a level of accomplishment, a status so high that people would pay a million for your craft.

And this is now easier than ever.

The internet and AI make it possible.

To follow a craft that is unable to replicate.

A brand uniquely bound to your self.
