Read it, sit with it, tell me what died in you
My first Substack essay is live: "Rise First, Then Die", on letting an old self end while we are still alive.
Read it here: Rise First, Then Die
It is not light reading. It asks you to look at the parts of you that once kept you safe and now keep you small.
If you are willing to go there with me, here is a thank-you:
• 100,000 millix for a new follow (subscribe) to my Substack
• 250,000 millix for a meaningful comment on the essay that reflects on what it actually says
RULES
1. Post a screenshot of YOUR OWN follow or comment as a comment on this post. Proof sent anywhere else does not count.
2. Only your own activity. Showing someone else's comment, profile or subscription disqualifies you from the whole campaign.
3. The screenshot must show your Substack username and the date. Cropped, edited or reused images do not count.
4. We check every claim on our side before any reward. Verified rewards will be given out in a later post, not in this thread, in the order verified.
5. One reward per person per type: one follow, one comment, so the most one person can earn is 350,000 millix.
6. The follow must stay for 7 days. Unsubscribing before then cancels the reward, and if it was already paid, disqualifies you from future campaigns.
7. A meaningful comment engages a specific idea from the essay, in your own words, in at least 3 to 4 sentences. One-liners, "great post", copy-paste, generic or AI-written filler, and comments on other posts do not count.
8. Your Tangled account must be at least 30 days old with real posting history.
9. The campaign runs until Sun Nov 15, 3:30 PM ET or until the reward budget is used, first verified, first paid. Proof posted after that does not count.
10. We will never ask for your wallet keys, passwords, email or personal data. Rewards come only through Tangled, never by direct message. Anyone messaging you "on our behalf" is an impersonator, so report them.
11. Our decision on what qualifies is final. We may end or change the campaign at any time, and any change will be posted in this thread.

I must say, it was a worth reading content! One of the most profound aspects of personal growth is realizing that not everything we carry forward deserves to accompany us into the future. Sometimes, the very habits, fears, and beliefs that once protected us eventually become the walls that limit us. I've shared more about the article there, have a look! Once again, thanks for sharing it, best wishes for your writing journey with substack, my account there since 2023 but not active there. Have a blessed day!

Your article carries a beautiful lesson about life. True wisdom is knowing when to hold on and when to let go. Sometimes, the greatest strength is having the courage to change our own thinking.

A great article
A thoughtful and powerful reflection. Sometimes the habits we develop to protect ourselves eventually become the walls that hold us back. True growth begins when we understand our past, appreciate what it taught us, and find the courage to let go of what no longer serves us. We must rise within before we can truly transform.

I read through it and subscribed! It did make me think about somethings I had been reflecting on. Mostly for me it's letting go of my ego. I used to think I knew what exactly is truly perfect writing but that doesn't serve me anymore because I've been wrong quite a few times. True perfection is not easily understood. So I've relieved this guard and have been much less negative since. Even when there is something I passionately dislike I most often times choose not to mock it.

What's changed is that I know just try to do what I love but try to make it logical and as meaningful as I can. We are not at the point of perfection so I've learned to enjoy things that don't hold up to my prior standards. It helps me engage with others better.
