• question every desire to see whether it's really yours or it's memetic

• invert your goals to become anti-goals

• alternate nostril breathing to disrupt desire energy patterns

• finish what you start to build your willpower

• once the road is known, even when no one walks with you, walk like a man and go on alone

• don't try to change the old energy; instead, create a new energy vortex

• allow yourself to be yourself; others to be others

• do only what is effortless, enjoyable, energetic

• do what works; do what is right
