Overconsumption And Hyper Materialism Will Not Save You Or Level You Up

Overconsumption and hyper materialism will not save you or level you up

Do you know why stanley cups have millions of followers lining up to get them and why all the girlies are constantly lining up for the next pink item?

It’s the exact same reason ‘’that girl’’ finds on amazon sell out immediately.

Because these items promise them a feeling and state of being they don’t already have through marketing both intentionally and otherwise.

You’ll find that whatever ‘’aesthetic finds’’ you think you want aren’t really what you want.

What you want is what those items represent.

They are artifacts of being.

When you put the CEO of Target up a tax bracket to become ‘’that girl’’ what you really want is what you think she has.

Discipline,Good health with all the stereotypical markers of it, Good habits,Elegance, Financial stability and The ability to take your pick of everything and everyone.

You can’t buy the things you really want but you can develop them, and when you have them no one can take them away from you.

I’m not saying every purchase comes from having a void and a desire to own the qualities we observe in those that broadcast their ownership of these artifacts of being, but many of them are.

Buying everything in sight will not bring you closer to your goals and most of the people you admire started small and relied on improvisation and invention when they really felt like they absolutely needed a material item for their journey.

Level Up Harsh truth

The harshest truth about productivity and leveling up is that you do not have time to be chronically online.

Let’s start with a simple calculation. You have 24 hours in a day, for peak cognitive function 9 of those must pass away in your bed leaving behind 15 hours which are then split into usually 8 hours of full time school or work and 7 hours free.

That 7 hours is all a person has for everything else, leveling up, fitness, study ( self led or otherwise), child or pet care or care for sick family members or whoever, socializing and whatever else.

There simply is no time for scrolling heavily without intention and that’s why successful people and well adjusted people seldom are chronically online and chronically online people are seldom well adjusted and successful.

Doom scrolling, hate watching, fandom discourse, consuming other people’s lives and arguing with people online is absolutely not worth my time because my time is precious and limited and will be spent on things that matter.

The mute,block and not interested buttons are my best friends in online spaces and it cannot be any other way.

Your life and goals must be more important to you than internet strangers if you intend to win.

People you do not know and love do not get to waste your attention and time (achieving their own ends and goals in the process) at the expense of you.
