Becoming great demands attachment to the unknown
*It’s natural intuition to avoid danger.
When you hear of an oncoming tornado, you’d shield your family by staying in your basement to avoid danger.
The best way to deal with physical danger is through avoidance.
However, the worst way to deal with emotional danger is through avoidance.
Nothing great is ever achieved by inhabiting the familiar.
Being a follower only enslaves you into a herd mentality, where conventional perspective is worshipped and creativity gets punished.
Innovation and creative destruction is reduced to a myth in such a reality.
Becoming over-average requires a venture outside familiar territory and into innovation.
Becoming great requires the greatest journey towards the deepest depths of the unknown.
Alexander the Great maintained his rule by combining unparalleled tactical brilliance with a visionary yet controversial approach to cultural innovation.
King David of the Old Testament seized victory against Goliath by ignoring the traditional “Marquis of Queenbury” rules and used a sling to slay Goliath.
Becoming a philosopher requires defiance against conventional belief and slave morality.
Becoming a billionaire requires creativity and daringness to do what others fear.
Healing from mental illness demands exploration and integration of the greatest depths of your unconscious, which very few complete or even commence.*
