Boundaries
man the wifi here in the arctic is so bad, ya’ll should be thankful for this post.
Before you read, This isn’t meant to be as “Motivation” oriented as it appears to be in the beginning of my piece, Don’t forget this is more like a personal thing I write to myself that I want my future grand kids to be reading and i’m just sharing to the animals in the mean time, I know a lot of the Jungle is smart and doesn’t react at all towards this type of information but many of you are curious on my thought process on thing’s so here it is, my thoughts and experience with boundaries. I explain at the end how you can benefit personally from all of this.
Understand this: The world wants to assign you a role in life. And once you accept that role you are DOOMED...at least forge a new identity, one of your own making, one that has had no boundaries assigned to it by an envious and resentful world."
-- Robert Greene "The 48 Laws of Power"
I want to talk about this exact quote here because I was only able to read it after I already dropped out of high school my freshmen year, I didn’t know how to explain my thought process but now after reading this I fully comprehend my past internal being that just couldn’t take the environment anymore, Being in school I was constantly being assigned a role. If I had bad grades, I was deemed as nothing more than student people shouldn’t talk to because “I wont make it in life.” Of course I hung out with the delinquents at this point because they had been the only ones who saw past that whole grading concept, I realize now if I had accepted that role I would of been doomed. But instead I took an entirely different approach and completely left instead, I was ready to forge a new identify, to not be held by new boundaries. To meet people outside of school where they wouldn’t know a single thing about me and where I wouldn’t be forced to fake a character just so I don’t fuck anything up. That’s all school was for me, It was something that had constantly been setting boundaries upon my being. That’s flat out disrespect. I left giving not a single fuck, I don’t care where I would go in life or what would happen, sure I was broke as fuck but I rather be poor than forced into a being I didn’t want to become.
I the lonely fox born in the cold alone in the arctic snow have realized during all this time alone, it’s crucial you flow like water being able to take shape in any form. It’s not right to define yourself in this world, That would just be the ego talking, more or less probably why I hate most fashion. That’s why I only wear a BowTie, Latest Fox Industry fashion is just targeting emotions. Just your ego trying to explain an image of you in a materialistic way. A being that has no boundaries.. For me that mean’s finding something appealing and directing my creativity towards it. I do not care what my emotional being will tell me nor react to whatever resistance will try to hold me. What matters is that my rational being has found this something to be worth my time and I will direct myself into this, I am nothing but water turning into a tidal wave whenever I please, I am calm at all times, but when the moment is right I would conqueror just like a storm would.
I picture a Fox in the middle of thy arctic, all alone. Alone with his thought’s, This fox has nothing surrounding him but snow. He does not control his external world but has full control over his Internal and that’s where he will build his empire, for no one to see it but himself. He shall conqueror thy being.
Only you can be the deciding factor whether you are the King sitting in your Mind’s Internal Throne or if you are nothing but a sheep in the village farm waiting to be eaten by someone who has mastered themselves.
In all forms of live if you choose to assign yourself a role, You will have a master. Only when you figure out how to govern yourself will you not be condemned to other masters.
Even in our internal minds will we find ourselves on our knees being conquered by our emotions, Our emotions can choose to become our Masters if we let them. Oh how much of a mistake it is when we lose our internal battle for It is the only place where we have the most truthful source of power.
The sad part is in today’s society many being’s are controlled by masters which we call “addictions and emotions” For those who rather scroll on Tik Tok than create an Empire believe they are these being’s that “want” to scroll on Tik Tok but the reality is this being they claim to be is nothing but an over stimulated brain. Many deal with anxiety due to this over stimulation and that anxiety prevents them from ever going forward in life, just this internal battle they have with themselves they believe they cannot control. They set themselves within these walls, Like a castle. They’ll do nothing but sit in the castle and never leave it, oh how dangerous it is to never leave your Throne to experience the outside world.
I want you to take it back while you read this. Remember everything nature stands for, How we are born into this world with no power in the external world. We only gain the force to drive our external world by being allowed the ability to control our internal world.
Your brain that is always and easily flustered with thoughts in this era, Need’s to be eased occasionally and we ease our mind’s by Meditating to live in the moment and forget our ego. The 20 minutes you spend meditating, Forever gone. You cannot go back in time to obtain those 20 minutes, But you have successfully used that 20 minutes to your advantage which will allow you to appropriately conqueror the next few battles with a mind that is trained to focus on being still and aware.
As I write this, I am having my first cup of Coffee in 3 weeks, Feeling really solid and happy right now. Especially due to the energy boost, To whomever reading this I want you to ask yourself, How often do you go by through life and question how you just spent the last 30 minutes ?
Let that sink in, 30 minutes.. Did those 30 minutes vanish? Or do you have some type of proof you had been there and here doing this exact thing, For example; A project could be proof of those 30 minutes.
What about 2 day’s ago? That random internal battle you had with yourself seem’s almost stupid to think about, After-all the past is the past and we shouldn’t think of it too much, But what could we learn from ourselves during that time? Is it worth it to study ourselves, how we spent our past? To really dial in everything we claim to be compared to everything we really do.
If we have a battle plan for the next day and stick to it like a robot, then we technically have a real listing on what we did on 10/27/2021 at 9:55 through 10:30, However should we keep track of our mental well-being as well during that time?
“ I just finished my project at 10:30 AM, Which started at 9:55. My mental being was calm and relaxed, I was able to fully engage into the task at hand”
Is writing something like this worth it or worthless? Where could this even take us, These 30 seconds of time of writing down how we felt during the past half an hour or so.
At 9:58, “ I felt like just deleting the entire project, It was stupid and worthless”
Fascinating how resistance the force opposite of love just pops in randomly, Like self-mental sabotage. If it’s really worthless, Why did I start anyway? What kind of stupid game’s am I playing with myself to suggest such a thing, Was this being telling me to delete all my work even really me?
Now you see what I mean here? One minute we are building an empire and then our mental self sets a boundary and completely tries to sabotage our work, Is it fair to call this being us even? Is Resistance us? What even is this force that tries to drive us away.
To get to the point here, I’ve found that tracking how we spend our time and how we feel during certain hours can help us really dial into who we are as being’s, When we act irrationally and emotionally and when we act rationally. Isn’t that the point? Figuring out what we’re even doing in the first place? Why we consider what we do to be rational? If it is truly rational why does my irrational side try to argue with me? I know it’s right but this other being inside of me disagrees? Multiple personalities or just different emotions?
But if we want to reach our highest potential is it right to disregard most of these thing’s? If we have a project that we know could really get us somewhere, then we should detach ourselves from this project and just focus on the rational being that will dial us into completing the task. I mean really what’s the point in being emotional about it when our rational self has already deemed that this will be a sufficient way to use our time.
After-all I notice my most calm and relaxed being tends to rise when I am creating like I was born to create.
I want you to leave today after reading this piece with the comprehension that we are not our thoughts, we are not our emotions, do not define yourself to these things, do not set up these boundaries for yourself.
I never fully understood the concept behind flowing like water until I started MMA and Boxing, When fighting and you need to be light only until impact where you hit them with all of your force I realized the concept is the same throughout life, you need to detach yourself from your emotions and watch them with an eagle eye, a 3rd perspective. Then as you slowly become good at being able to view yourself in this 3rd perspective when the time comes and you choose to be rational you will hit with full force like a tidal wave, do not confuse yourself with assuming this being is you either. When you sit down and work it’s as if another being takes over and you are nothing but this other source viewing it from a 3rd perspective, you are this rod that attracts the heavens as if god himself has taken over. Detach yourself, don’t box yourself, don’t set boundaries, be free and shape shift exactly like water.
“If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid.”
― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

I’ve met many people who have informed me upon this “way of life” and I’m very much curious how the rest of the Jungle and Anons approach this. Please feel free to leave comments and explain your thought process.
