you have to lie
it’s essential to lie to hoes, but it’s more essential to lie to yourself.
and believe in the lie. so deep you’d pass a polygraph.
dress up as a doctor. give someone a saline injection. tell them it’s morphine. they’ll take a scalpel with no pain.
it’s placebo.
psychology beats biology. we’re the only animal where belief rewrites the hardware.
took me a while to get that faith is just drowning rationality on purpose. holding it under until it stops kicking.
that’s hard when all you do is think rationally.
but only with faith can you turn the boxing ring into a playground.
only then does business become a video game.
when the outcome is so set in stone. you play.
to fill the boredom.
the boredom of certainty.
i make most money when business isn’t even a priority. when it’s playful. when you love it. it loves you back.
and when you love something. you play with it.
like a kid with a toy. you play with it.
like with a girl. you play with her.
i inject random substances into my body on a tuesday night. because i’m playing with the cheatcodes.
spending cash. i throw the platinum on the desk because i like the sound.
i play with it because there’s faith that more is coming.
smoke 15 cigarettes because i have faith i’m in good health.
it’s not a lie if you believe it.
stay busy.
