Life is too short not to play the long game.

There have been many misses, mistakes, as well as all-out failures I’ve encountered in my life. Never once did it deter me or my attitude in terms of my mindset of the long term. Not only have I always thought long term, but I’ve actioned on every action in my life to make certain that I am the ruler of my destiny and that what I decide I make a reality. This was in direct contrast (as well as contention) with my peers no matter the situation because youth will be wasted on the young for most. In my particular case, I maximized my youth to the fullest extent, serving the persons in my network to get tangible and lifelong results, including financial literacy, stock market evaluation, and overall competence in terms of derivatives, maintainable custom eating habits, exercise routines, corporate advisory, individual 401k consultation, music production, music composition, songwriting, brand awareness as well as execution, medical tutoring, relationship analysis, and self-reflection, conflict mediation, and thinking outside the box (as well as in it, because thinking inside the box helps one understand how to make use of space in order to relate to the consumer and most importantly the engineering in architecture). Very few listened to what I had to say. Even fewer did anything they listened to me say. I learned so much from this level of intricate, individually customized service. One of the important things I learned from life is there is never a limit to the nuance of ego and how it can create unfounded confidence based on baseless entitlement lacking perspective. What I decided, I made a reality. I don’t depend on anyone else except specific individuals that know I am also dependable. People will always need people, no matter how self-sustaining an individual is. There is always perspective to be gained as each individual on this earth is just as much an individual as their digestive system. Playing the long game in terms of mental health will always be in direct proportion to the intestinal health one chooses. Thinking long-term is a great start but irrelevant without the accompanying choices. If one’s choices are in direct conflict with one’s thinking, that conflict will persist over the appropriate construct which, in the long term, has very little to do with the amount of money one gained, the property they owned, the relationships they established, the cars they purchased, or the external praise they received. The main metric will always be internal health in terms of the long game.
