There’s a feeling that arises in the pit of your stomach.
Maybe the boss lady came into the office and is looking over your shoulder.
You’re lectured about TSP reports.
Maybe some teacher calls you into his office.
Maybe you step into the gym, fearful that you don’t belong as you are currently fat and weak.
Whatever the situation, we all understand that EXACT feeling.
It’s an entirely unconscious feeling.
Your stomach tightens and your body language closes off.
Most people submit.
You have been taught to VERY simply submit.
The fear sets in and you VERY simply…obey.
You should listen to that fear.
Then you should immediately disobey it.
That feeling tells you it might be time to commit murder – to kill the old you.
Fear is telling you to hold on to whatever identity or life that you’ve created.
Fear wants you to hold on.
Fear despises growth and change.
The weak sloppy YOU that you’re afraid of looking at in the mirror?
I’ve certainly been there.
Fear told me to simply ALWAYS stay home.
Won’t people laugh at a fat guy in the gym.
I disobeyed the fear.
I used to be fat – no, obese.
Now people might try to make fun of me for being “too alpha.”
The fear that would have kept me out of the gym… would have kept the old me alive.
The old me is NOW officially dead.
Disobey the fear.
Kill the old you.
Why are you afraid of getting “caught” at work when you downright hate your job?
Are you REALLY going to starve?
That’s only fear talking.
You may lose you job or your friends or… flat out EVERYTHING.
You will start over MUCH stronger.
Why are you holding on so tight to a life that is not REALLY yours?
Why do you fear losing the approval of people who you do NOT actually REALLY respect?
Fear is telling you to conform to a diseased, debased society.
Modern culture is controlled by fear-mongers, the debased, and the easily offended.
You must tip-toe around at “work” or at dinner parties, lest you offend someone.
Double standards abound.
Mainstream media outlets mock domestic violence against men and tell you to pay that alimony and child support – because well… male privilege.
Why do you actually care if people who you DON’T even like look at you funny?
Why do you REALLY care if people actually hate you?
Fear is telling you to hold onto that YOU – the old you.
I haven’t felt ANYTHING remotely resembling fear in a long time.
Yet the feeling surfaces, as it’s deep within our unconscious.
The Social Justice Warriors will soon be coming for me.
The mainstream media is coming after me.
People are currently saying mean things on the Internet.
Why do I actually care?
I do care.
I actually REALLY love it!
Does this mean I will no longer be welcome in respected society?
I won’t be able to “get a job” at a large corporation with a huge HR department?
People who are vanilla and boring won’t like me?
People who submit to Social Justice Warriors as Masters will NEVER talk to me again?
The attacks are REALLY a blessing in disguise.
The attacks remind me of my life’s purpose and give me the opportunity to experience a full-frontal attack by the media.
I fully welcome the hate.
I love the attention.
It makes me grow MUCH stronger.
The last bit of mainstream respectability I have is NOW dead.
At first there was unconscious irrational trepidation at the assaults.
This made no sense to me.
Why do I care?
Fear is simply unconscious.
It tries taking complete control over you, to preserve your old life at literally all costs.
Talk yourself through the fear.
When the fear sets in, listen to it.
Talk to it.
What is the fear currently telling you?
The fear is telling you to hold on to a lifestyle that YOU do NOT want to KEEP living.
The fear might be telling YOU that it’s time to die – which means that YOU will finally REALLY get to live.
It’s TIME to live in a NEW home, a place of true freedom.
Until next time.
Your man,
-Elijah “The Realist”
