From The Desk of Maverick Brenton.
Subject: Why Named Days Are an Illusion.
What does every normal person on earth, have in common?
Let me tell you:
They always know exactly what day of the week it is.
And their mood, energy, and overall well being, is usually determined by what day of the week it is.
On Monday - all the normal people are sad. And they’re sad because they know they have to spend the next five days doing shit they don’t care about.
On Friday - all the normal people are happy. And they’re happy because they know that for the next two days, they are free.
This is how they live their life - as resources on someone else’s schedule.
And they buy into the trap of actually thinking named days exist, when in reality, there is no such thing as named days - there are only 24 hour cycles, where the sun rises and falls.
Do you understand what I just said?
Here it is again, in case you missed it:
Named days do not exist.
Monday through to Sunday, does not exist.
It’s an illusion - a tool of the modern world that helps organise, control and direct the workforce.
Named days make industrialised life easier. And they make normal people, aka slaves, easier to manage.
Monday through to Friday - you’re expected to be at your job, making smarter people, wealthier.
And on the weekends, your allowed to rest and do what you want to do - if your boss, aka your master, lets you.
I’m not sure about you, but to me - that appears to resemble the life of a slave.
And if that hurt your feelings: it’s probably because you are who I am talking about.
You’re probably a slave, reading this on the toilet at your shitty job, that you hate, and only work because you’re lost and unsure, and don’t know how else you can make money, because all you learned in school and from your parents, was how to be a slave - just like everyone else.
I don’t apologise, if my words just hurt your feelings - that’s my occupation.
And I love it.
Everything else is just bullshit designed to make the unbearable, kind of bearable.
Now: let’s talk about what’s normal, and what isn’t - in the mind of Maverick Brenton.
For me, it isn’t normal, to work all the time doing things you don’t care about, and things that don’t make your life better - in return for a few pieces of paper called money, at the end of the week.
What’s normal to me, is to sometimes work a little, and to sometimes work a lot, to KEEP the fruits of your own labour and to make your own life better - instead of giving away the fruits of your own labour, to someone else, while making their life better, and not yours.
Hustling for your last name and your own blood. Hustling for your family, and not for someone who does not give a fuck about you or your family - that is what’s normal, to me.
And I am simply incapable of stomaching, any other way of living.
So, if you’ve ever sat back and wondered why most people remain as slaves, and why they think that it is normal to live as slaves - you were on the right track.
The truth is: we all think it’s normal because that’s what we are led to believe growing up - but it’s actually not normal.
However, it’s required by the masses, if the machine of modern society is to continue operating how it is currently operating - from what I can see, at least.
If all the slaves kicked off their shackles, quit their jobs and decided to become their own masters - you probably wouldn’t be able to live as comfortably as you do right now.
The lights would go off. Supermarkets would close down. And shit would just stop working - like it’s currently working_._
But.
The really amazing thing about this is, if you find the balls to kick off your shackles and go after what you want - the world will just keep spinning like it is, because very few people will actually make the decision to become the master of their destiny, and go after what they want.
Right now - you can quit being a slave.
You can decide to become free.
You can become the master of your destiny.
But you must decide to actually do it.
And you must refuse to go back once you decide, no matter how scary or hard it becomes.
Now - I have another question for you.
Do you know what every master of their destiny has in common?
Let me tell you:
They never know what day it is. And they usually do not care what day it is.
They are not sad on Monday’s, and happy on Friday’s, because they do not work normal jobs like normal people.
Instead, they own their time, and how they spend their time is controlled by them, not somebody else.
Did you read that last line?
Let me say it again:
They own their time, and how they spend their time is controlled by them, not somebody else.
That’s why they don’t care what day it is.
Monday is just another day. And so is Friday.
Their day to day happiness is not determined by what day of the fucking week it is, because THEY CONTROL THEIR LIFE.
When you give away control of your life, and you hand over your time to somebody else, for them to organise for you - you reduce your happiness, in my opinion.
I like being able to do whatever I want. When I want to do it. And I’m pretty sure most people on earth are the same - whether they admit that, or not.
Now - before you piss your pants or start crying, that does not mean there is something wrong with me.
I just don’t like having another human being, who does not care about me - **control my time.
**Why?
Because when another human being, who does not give a fuck about you, controls your time - your time is controlled by another human being, who does not give a fuck about you.
And you’re a resource to them.
I have zero interest in being a resource.
Who the fuck does?
I like being me: a unique and often offensive expression, an individual - and an Artist with a purpose on planet earth.
I like to live on my terms. And I like to be in control, because that is what makes me happy - so that is what I build every day.
That is what gets me out of bed and working.
It would probably do the same for you - if you just had the balls to admit it to yourself.
But if you’re still a slave and not a master, you won’t admit it.
You will look in the mirror and tell yourself you love what you do, when you know you don’t.
You’ll lie to the face of the only person who can get you what you want - and that person is YOU.
I used to do that.
And it was like eating my own shit for breakfast every morning, while pretending that I had pancakes, instead.
No matter how hard I pretended, though - it always tasted like my own shit, not pancakes.
After having enough, I decided to make a change.
I decided to stop eating my own shit. And I decided to eat pancakes instead.
So, if you are ready to make that decision and become a master - here is my advice:
Find your obsession. And find your real work - then become obsessed with doing your real work, until you become a massive success.
“Oh, but, Maverick, I don’t know what my real work is. I don’t know what I want. Can you please tell me how to figure out what I want?”
Firstly - you’re a liar. You know what you want - you just cannot admit it to yourself_,_ because you’re afraid.
Secondly - of course I can tell you how to figure out what you want.
Here’s how you do it:
Go to your bathroom. Look in the mirror. And stop lying to yourself out of fear. Just admit what you already know to be true about yourself and go do exactly what you want to do.
It. Is. That. Simple.
Here is something you MUST understand:
There is never a magical moment.
There is never an “Ah Ha” moment.
I waited a long time, for that moment.
And I waited, until I realised - that it never fucking comes because it does not fucking exist.
There is only deciding to do what you want, then actually doing it.
Once you decide what you want, and you actually do it - things fall into place on their own, but NEVER before.
Understand?
Masters live for their work.
And in their minds, a day is nothing more than 24 hours of opportunity to get better, and move forward.
In the mind of the obsessed Master – named days do not exist.
And they don’t exist because when you are obsessed with what you do – you stop paying attention to what day it is.
So if you want to transcend and become a new being - here is a new rule for your life:
Only do what you are obsessed with, because when you only do what you are obsessed with, you forget time, you kick ass, and you love life.
Normal people won’t like that rule.
And that’s why they’re normal - with normal lives, normal bodies, normal bank accounts, normal jobs and normal misery.
For the aspiring masters however, when it comes to this thing called time - the sun rises in the morning, and the sun sets in the evening.
That is all you need to know.
When that sun rises. Get up. Get ready. And go hustle for what you really want.
Go hustle for your last name.
When that sun sets. Lay you head down. And rest well.
Then repeat.
Until Next Time.
