I lost both my parents to cancer last year. I haven't really talked to many people about it. I couldn't find a way to share how I felt. Your music gives me that release of pent up emotion. Idk why but I just started crying while listening to this. Thank you and love you Sir Akira. Not fishing for sympathy or anything. Just saying your important to alot of peeps man.

I know many of you are struggling to do what you know you should do. The thing is that your Ego and logical mind are battling each-other. Your ego is what's stopping you from doing what you're supposed to be doing. It is sneaky and can only attack you when you're feeling tired and weak.

To fight your ego you need to build your defences while you're still strong and lucid. Make systems that help you during your times of weakness. Protect yourself from your weakest time.

Jocko DOES sort of look like Bruce Wayne in The Dark Knight Returns now that i think about it....

I think I've had this feeling.

The problem is, the feeling doesn't always align with what people seem to want me to feel.
And when it happens on the scale it has to me recently, it's like feeling myself to be in opposition with everything.
So what happens is I react in a very polarized way. Instead of going towards what's being indicated or even outright offered to me, I go in the opposite direction.

Because the two things aren't aligned.

Let's say everyone says I'm A or should be A. The first letter of the alphabet.
But what I actually am is M. One of the middle letters.
But there's such a large discrepancy between the inside feeling and the outside feedback that I recoil and say that I'm Z.

The last letter of the alphabet.

This is no more accurate that the initial assertion. But at least because I've chosen it myself in order to reign in some measure of psychological control, I can readily convince myself that that's the way it is.

The above scenario may be wrong. But that's not the point.
I'm going off this beaten track because I want to know,

How do you know *this is it?*

Eddie: I heard that the Bat got him.

Nic: The Bat? Oh, man. Gimme a break, will you?

I love how your intro where it says “akira the don” then Jordan Peterson saying “he’s got clout” 😂 where did you get the sound bite of Jordan Peterson saying he’s got clout
