One of the most liberating things you can realize is that life is a mutating state.

We are the product of millions of years of mutation. We are built for change by default, and this is where our potential lies. We are capable of more, yet resentment often exists within us as a psychological conflict between our idealized state and our current reality.

There is a way to resolve this state conflict: overwrite it upward. Most of our problems arise from resisting state transitions. This resistance comes from the psychological realm, from self-deception that we are somehow weak or not smart enough, and this false projection becomes something we latch onto for a long time. Look around, and you will see people as products of this mindset with varying outcomes. Some believed in the upward wind of change, while others believed in stagnation.

We can complain about lack of access or financial constraints, but the real bottleneck is not resources. It is an intuitive sense of the truth about human nature and what we are built for. If you have a clear sense of what you truly need, you will long for it, and getting started will require far less than you think.

Now, let us talk about our desire to be spoon-fed. We often interpret success through a biased lens, thinking "they are there because of that." But perhaps not. They may simply have managed themselves through certain states of transformation. This is not to say resources or circumstances do not matter. They do, but not to the point where they are the absolute key to progression.

As human beings, we are all instances of the same thing. We share the same biological apparatus. If we could resolve the psychological conflict of self-deception, this conviction that we are lacking and the habit of self-victimization, we would stop idealizing the belief that someone else is responsible for our being or that something outside of us controls us.

You cannot play the victim game all your life. It will limit both the pace at which you move and the states you can transition into.

You may have been told, "You are fine the way you are." Well, maybe not. It is too weak of you to simply believe that.

Take extreme ownership, deliberately seek state change.
