I do not belong to the corrupted ruling class (0.1%).
And I do not belong to the mediocre (95%+).
I live in another category that few acknowledge.
Virtuous outliers are defined by character, not mood.
We choose authenticity instead of "desirable outcomes" every time.
We treat attention, health, and time as non negotiable assets.
Solitude is not escape. It is the preservation and nurturing of the soul.
I read, think, and write until illusions fall apart.
I train discomfort so comfort cannot rule me.
I accept what is outside my control and fully command what is inside it.
I refuse to trade reason and wisdom for approval.
Power does not impress me when it is unearned or unprincipled.
Popularity does not tempt me when it requires self betrayal.
I measure myself against my own standards of excellence.
The standards of society are irrelevant to me.
General comparison is a disease.
If I compare, it is to find inspiration.
When I am tired, my compounded habits and lifestyle carry me through.
When I am betrayed, my principles absorb the blow.
"There is nothing new under the sun." I do not worship novelty.
I build privately with precision.
Nothing can corrupt me.
Not ego. Not pride. Nothing.
Nothing can distract me.
I keep the momentum.
I align my actions with nature and reality, then I let the world do what it will.
This path is without regret.
The point is not to win the broken game.
The point is to protect virtue, authenticity, and wholeness.
I approach this life with strategy, reason, and wisdom.
This is the highest quality way of living.
