Don’t Even Trust Me

 Yes. Even me.

Don’t outsource your brain.

Don’t swallow advice whole.
Don’t copy-paste someone else’s life.
Don’t treat anyone like a guru.

Including the person writing this.

1. Advice Is Filtered Through Experience

Everything I write.
Everything anyone writes.

It comes from:

• Their history

• Their mistakes

• Their personality

• Their bias

• Their environment

Advice isn’t universal truth.

It’s perspective.

Perspective can help.

But it shouldn’t replace your judgment.

---

2. If It Doesn’t Fit, Don’t Force It

Maybe:

• Reducing alcohol works for you.

• Maybe it doesn’t right now.

• Maybe “boring wealth” excites you.

• Maybe you’re in survival mode.

You are allowed to adjust.

You are allowed to test ideas.

You are allowed to reject things.

Growth isn’t obedience.

It’s discernment.

3. Authority Is Not Infallibility

Anyone who says:

“This is the only way.”

Run.

Confidence without humility is dangerous.

Real confidence says:

“This worked for me. Test it.”

---

4. The Goal Is Self-Trust

If you only ever follow external voices, you stay dependent.

The real power move is:

• Listening

• Considering

• Evaluating

• Deciding for yourself

That builds internal authority.

Internal authority builds stability.

---

5. Alcohol Lowers Discernment

It’s much easier to:

Believe hype
Follow bold claims
Overshare
Overspend

when clarity is blurred.

Clear minds filter better.

---

6. You Are the Final Filter

Take what resonates.

Discard what doesn’t.

Adapt what needs adjusting.

That’s maturity.

You don’t need a hero.

You need a compass.

---

Final Thought

Don’t even trust me.

Trust patterns.
Trust evidence.
Trust calm results.
Trust your nervous system when it feels steady.

Reduce volatility.
Increase margin.
Strengthen boundaries.
Lower alcohol if it clouds clarity.
Think independently.

If something I write helps — use it.

If it doesn’t — leave it.

The goal isn’t loyalty.

It’s your stability.
