Happy Friday Anti-Marketer!!!
As I get ready to prepare for a 2-week travel to Utah (my “roughly yearly” tradition), I checkmark all my essentials.
As usual, I will stock up on:
– Pure clean water
– Tons of green vegetables, pasture raised eggs, and healthy meats
– Books that will make the most difference in helping me think and act even 1% more successfully
I will prepare my routines in advance including:
– 7-9 hours of deep sleep
– Daily workouts (3 out of 5 of which make me feel like a cheetah after chasing and catching a gazelle)
– Ditching all sugar
I have my laptop ready to go… as I’ll be writing and editing the flurry of articles and projects that just came in.
While stupid @ss news works 24/7 to make everyone panic and believe the world is coming to an end… I can relax knowing, “You have absolutely nothing to fear.”
Fearing shit is an error in thinking.
It’s a trademark of the ignorant.
If you fear a single goddamn thing, you’re already off track and “missing the point” of life.
The biggest thing I have to “fear” is whether I can get the person in the mirror to do all the healthy habits I decide in advance. That’s it.
Hell, once those actions are firmly established as a habit… you don’t even have to try to “get” yourself to do anything!
It just happens automatically.
I’m in the habit of writing, editing, selling, bashing predatory marketing, helping my clients sell with anti-marketing… and of course fucking shit up on the dance floor! (Well, mostly my living room floor, which doubles as a mini dance studio for now).
Is anybody in the news reporting that “letting your immune system be weakened” is something you have a LOT of control over?!
The last time I got sick, it was 100% self-caused.
I was tolerating too much stress and eating too much sugar… and not taking proper nutrients for immune system (www.getimmunefx.com!).
I’m a firm believer that our results in life are largely caused by our own choices.
You make stupid choices, you get f#%cked.
You make wise choices, your life starts to move in the right direction.
If you don’ believe that… then what’s the alternative? Believing you’re a victim in life?
Victim mentality and victim-thinking are, by far, greater threats than any new strain of “virus” that pharma wants to make you paranoid about.
But you already knew that…cause you’re an anti-marketer who sees through the BS of predatory marketing. (Vaccine marketing is extremely predatory. See “Medicinal Chemist: Why We Didn’t Vaccinate Our 4 Children.”)
Maybe your customers don’t know that, and they’re freaking out.
So this weekend (and this year, and this decade) — be a model of calm, peace, and stability (or your own version of these things) for your fans, and INSPIRE them to live their lives fully and successfully.
MEI (motivate, educate, and inspire) them not to fear a single thing!.. but to DO the things that make them happy, healthy, successful, wealthy, and wise.
