“Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength.
Carrying two days at once.
Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow,
It empties today of its strength.”
~ Corrie ten Boom
I am Jordan, 23 yrs old, did over $4M in Revenue,
Hired over 50 people and make videos on YouTube since 2012.
I share this, because you may think that because I am the CEO of my company, I experience more stress than my employees.
If you think this way, then understand this:
From the Elon Musk’s in this world to the average Joe, we all experience stress.
You may experience stress or overwhelm less frequently than Tim Cook (CEO of Apple),
But it does not mean it is easier to achieve peace.
In fact, it is likely to be more difficult. More about this later in this letter…
I also share this because you have been conditioned to care about numbers and appearance.
But the truth is that it is effectiveness > appearance that works.
So what is effective?
To NEVER feel stressed again.
Right?
Please think about it.
🔴 Not meditate so you don’t feel stressed for 15 minutes.
🔴 Not Wim Hof Breathing to feel calmer afterward.
🟢 But to NEVER feel the pain of stress again.
This is what I consider effective.
But is it possible?
Your mind questions you, if I may assume…
Let’s not listen to the mind, shall we?
This inner voice has only been making things worse.
Do you see this?
“Man is not worried by real problems so much
As by his imagined anxieties about real problems”
~ Epictetus
For instance:
Reality: High $ bill coming up…
Mind: You will be homeless
Reality: Your boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife wants to divorce/breakup
Mind: You will be alone and unhappy for the rest of your life
I can continue.
But I think you get my point.
DISCLAIMER: I am a conditioned individual like you.
I am not ‘better’ than you.
I have not understood the intricacies of my mind yet.
I may have made some realizations that are absolutely true.
But never ‘believe’ me.
As beliefs will always be beliefs.
If you are really serious about eliminating stress forever, you have to SEE for yourself.
Do NOT read my words, believe them, and continue practicing nonsensical methods from doctors on YouTube.
The unserious people in this world keep taking medicine when they feel sick.
Some may work temporarily, but they are now dependent on a medicine that becomes less effective over time.
So with this all being said.
How can we never again feel stress, anxiety, overwhelm, and so on?
You REALLY have to care about it.
Before I continue, I have to say it.
For else, nothing matters.
I mean, billions of adults say they want to be rich, right?
How many ARE?
The ones that are rich, really wanted it above almost everything else in their life.
The same applies to stress.
You REALLY have to want to understand it.
Not because I say so.
But because you feel this way inside of you.
Your heart desires freedom from all painful emotions you have felt in your life more than any other freedom or pleasure.
If you do not feel this way (yet), it can change with time.
But remember, it is only you who can find out what you truly desire most.
This being said.
Let’s assume you really desire to eliminate stress for the rest of your life.
How do we get to such an existence?
NOT by a method.
I’ve already shared why, in the beginning of this letter.
They don’t last and when they do not,
You switch to another technique,
Or keep asking if you practice correctly.
You will stay trapped in this cycle forever.
Because you are DEPENDENT.
It’s important to understand you cannot be dependent on others.
Even IF they say they have solved anxiety in their life.
Including anything I say.
I say it often, but it is important not to believe me and others, as this would create a belief.
Why don’t you want beliefs?
Because you don’t KNOW if it is TRUE.
When you are following, you are NOT examining for yourself, correct?
Why do you want to observe for yourself? You may ask.
Why build your house on sand? I ask.
If you believe the surface you build your house on is concrete because I say so.
And you start building your dream house on top of it.
A villa with a swimming pool, garden, all of it.
But one day you REALIZE that it was built on sand.
Then you see that it can collapse at any moment.
You would be unserious to continue to live in your house on sand,
AFTER you get a glimpse of this reality,
That it could collapse at any moment.
You would be silly, wouldn’t you?
So are you capable of letting go of the comfort behind your beliefs?
Letting go of the beliefs of your:
– Boss
– Priest
– Coach
– Father
– Society
So that you can start to see clearly.
Not through a broken mirror.
Nor through a field of mist.
But to finally start LOOKING at yourself as you are.
Not through the lens of good or bad.
Not through the filter of the mind.
If you want to find more understanding about this filter of the mind, you may find it here.
So we are talking about how to observe yourself as you ARE, without rules or beliefs or any judgment.
Who we ARE, not who we SHOULD be.
So if I desire cocaine. Then this is the truth.
NOT, I am a cocaine addict and I should go to rehab.
This creates conflict, you see?
Because you DESIRE cocaine, but also feel you SHOULD NOT and go to rehab…
If you can be completely honest with yourself, the consequence is clarity.
WHEN can you start to look at YOU with clear, honest eyes?
When you are 100% serious.
When you really, REALLY want to.
Therefore it often happens during a crisis in your life.
Financial crisis…
Health crisis…
These are moments when most of us become COMMITTED to finding the truth of what matters to us.
Because the question of how to never feel anxiety again, wouldn’t arise right?
Maybe it would, but it would be out of curiosity…
Not a DESIRE to KNOW.
Does this mean you have to CREATE a crisis?
No.
What you really experience on a daily level.
Is this not a crisis my friend?
I am asking you.
Do you want to live the rest of your life with your days looking like this:
90% negative emotions (irritated, fearful, stressed, …)
10% positive emotions (happy, excited, calm, …)
There may be a few people who read this and SEE that their current existence IS a crisis already…
And to him or her, the question remains:
“How can I see the truth of my stress?”
To this person, I can say:
Your answer will come, not through me or anyone else.
But within you.
You can only find the truth of your current emotions by yourself.
By looking at it, without judging it.
You are strong my friend.
Don’t depend on me, god, or other human beings nor their methods.
May you see the truth in your life, WHILE you live it.
So you may finally start to live in the peace that is available to you.
Talk soon.
Jordan
Here’s my poem about the essence of it all.
Because you love to be entertained, don’t you?
a poem to read when you’re stressed.
To NEVER feel stress, that’s what I crave,
Not anxious Tomorrow again, remaining this slave,
To emotions until my grave.
A crisis may awaken our desire to know,
To understand the root from which our struggles grow.
Letting go of judgments, beliefs, and more,
Clarity may arise, unlike before.
For in observing without judgment or fear,
The path to inner peace can become clear.
May you find the strength to look deep inside,
And let go of ALL that keeps you tied.
For in that stillness, peace resides,
A freedom our heart would love to find.
