Proverbs 16:27 “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop”
This is absolutely true.
Is there a devil?
I don’t know.
What I do know is my personal experience.
By the way, if you’re new here, I am Jordan.
Did over $4.5M in Revenue.
Hired over 50 people.
And found out that these things actually do not matter.
What matters to me is the truth.
And the truth is that when I am NOT DOING…
I start thinking.
Sometimes thinking creates positive emotions.
Sometimes thoughts create negative emotions.
When they become negative, my mind wants to escape.
You can try to ignore or resist this escape, but willpower doesn’t last.
So what happens sooner or later?
Your idle hands become the devil’s tools.
For instance…
To escape the negative feelings thoughts arise.
“Eat chips”
“Go masturbate”
“Watch YouTube”
“Scroll on Instagram”
…
“The devil’s finest trick is to persuade you that he does not exist.”
~ Charles Baudelaire
You see this happen all the time with…
…Music artists when they are not on stage or in the studio.
…Founders who just exited their company for 7,8 or 9 figures.
…Professional soccer players after they have retired from the game.
And likely within yourself when you find yourself in emptiness, boredom, or unclarity.
What is the solution you ask?
To be the person who lives in clarity.
To be the person who lives in freedom from their mind.
To be the person who spends most of his waking hours engaged in their craft, people, and surroundings.
This is the ultimate.
This is the place every human being longs to live, whether they’ve realized it or not.
You can find this place.
The faster you can find it, the sooner your bad habits start to fade.
You can find it all by yourself.
If you prefer my guidance to get there faster.
You can send me an email ([email protected]) or schedule a call with me.
Talk soon

The Devil Hands Poem
Idle hands, the devil’s tool,
In the quiet, thoughts can rule.
Is there a devil? I can’t say,
But I’ve seen the price we pay.
When you’re not doing, not engaged,
Your mind begins to feel enraged.
It drifts to places dark and deep,
Where negative emotions creep.
“Eat some chips,” my mind will plea,
“Watch Netflix, escape and flee.”
Resisting only works so long,
Willpower fades before it’s gone.
You see this trap in others too,
In artists, founders, athletes—who
When their purpose fades away,
Struggle to fill the empty day.
But there’s a way to break this chain,
To free your mind from endless strain.
Stay engaged in what you do,
In your craft, your passions, in all your pursuits.
This is the place we don’t want to leave,
This is the place you find relief.
