Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind II
What does the Tao say about attachments? It seems I haven’t been listening. Hu Wei, a simple philosophy that states let go, yeild, fly about the wind in the sky, be soft, be like water, let the momentum of the waves take you to where you need to be, don’t look to control external factors. Let your internal campus guide you. I am guilty of swimming against the tide. As a result I have failed to make any foward strides. How can I when I am living in the past chasing the green light like Gatsby. You can’t live in the past Jay. Daisy is gone and you just have to contend yourself with somebody else. Time moves like a goods train en route its destination, it waits for no one. You can’t redeem lost time like a voucher. We live, make memories and ultimately die. Life is a continual process and every moment is significant. Live every moment like it’s your last. When your chance is over, move over so another person can enjoy the roller coaster ride. I think it’s comical that “The Great Gatsby” is one of my favorite tales. Maybe subconsciously I think I am DiCaprio chasing a woman who can never love me. I am not stupid, I knew it would be difficult but I always thought that if I could stretch time I’d have a chance. Like Gatsby, I felt entitled to her. I was living in my head and had visions of sweeping her off her feet and running along in the sunset, this time, no Tom, no Wilson, just us. I was deluded.
I read somewhere on the Internet that Kanye West was getting a divorce and I felt a bit better. At least Kanye is going through what I am going through, but worse! It’s not like I’ve ever been married. I don’t have kids and I am not so emotionally attached. So I am sorry Kanye, I feel bad for my initial reaction. I am not a hater Kanye, I love you, you are my hero. I was just projecting on you because I was in love with this girl for a long time and now I realize we are an impossibility so it’s time to let her go. I was in love with an idea and you were in love with the real thing, so it’s a total mismatch. I hope the kids are okay and you’re good. I’d personally hate to lose you and your awesome energy over this and so I pray for your mental vitality, I hope you make it through unscathed. The world still needs Kanye West and your awesome ideas. It was good while it lasted though. You had the Marilyn Monroe of this generation. She was white, had good hair and a banging body. You were at the pinnacle of pop culture. You are blessed Kanye and I know you’ll come out of this stronger than ever. After all, “what doesn’t kill you, will only make you stronger” – Nietzsche, no I mean Kanye West!!
P.S. I hope you signed the relevant documents. It would totally suck if she took half of everything. I mean you just made Billionaire status. If you didn’t, it’s okay, it’s not a train smash. You have more than enough and your children’s futures are secured.
I got an opportunity to enroll in a “Market Research” course. It’s an opportunity I created literally out of thin air. The opportunity came to me because I outworked everyone, period, and a bit of luck. I got a sponsor through the Universe to pay for it. It’s a 4-6 months course and naturally I completed it in a week. The makers of the course are so impressed that they are fast tracking everything for me. I am in mentorship circles and the goal is to help the “antakalipa” brand grow. I am a business now, full out ready to conquer. No excuses, I take all that I’ve learned from my previous entrepreneurial endovours to apply it here. I am better now, I am smarter now, my logic is grounded in reality now, I am hungry for riches now, I am super focused now, It’s my time now. Everything is in my hands, if the business fails, I fail and that’s not an option. I liked the course, it asked me challenging questions about the brand. I liked the section about competition. It was a bit awkward considering I’ve not yet monetized the brand, however it gave me an opportunity to think. I listed my competitors as Lira, Cassper Nyovest and J. Cole. Sure, Lira is the outlier in that equation but I listed her because I really like her, I am a fan, I love her content, it centers around “Love and self-realization” and for a while she was in Jazz. I listed Cassper Nyovest because he fills up stadiums. I admire him for that. He is a dreamer with big balls who manifests his ideas with no fear. Plus he has good business accumen, he did everything his way. I love that. And lastly J. Cole because his awesome. I aspire to be on his level. I believe I can be on his level, with time and a fair chance. The whole competition section was lodged in my mind and after a couple of days I decided to review my options. I omitted the outlier and replaced her with Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamar because his so creative and talented. He is so good that he makes me feel insecure about what I can do. The way he puts out his content is amazing! Plus he has no bounds, he can do Jazz, Folk, Pop and Hip-hop. I want to be around Kendricks spirit in some capacity. Whether on the charts, stage, room or in the studio. He is “the guy” for me and initially I didn’t put him on the list because I was intimidated. But then I remembered artists don’t compete but compliment each other because we all different and it totally liberated me. I could be in the same industry as Kendrick and still be a fan of his work. But Kendrick opened up pandoras box and I was forced to reflect on the level that I was on. Truth is, I am at least a year behind Kendrick Lamar artistically. I need to bridge that to at least half. I need to write more. My content needs to be more profound and impactful. I need to do more and double up where I can. Then it occurred to me that I’d have to banish myself from the world. That I’d have to be a loner. No friends unless they helped me get to my goals. No fun unless we celebrating achievements. I need more screen time with the Infinite source. I need to be completely immersed in music and content development. That’s the price of greatness. That’s my sacrifice. I need to be more inward so it can translate outwards. I need to forget anyone and everyone whose not contributing to my growth and this ideal; eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, II.
