A Heart of Gold makes you kind, but a heart of steel makes you anti-fragile.
You’d ask, how to achieve antifragility?
First, you must have the mentality that you’d be okay with killing parts of yourself that aren’t conducive to your growth/are making your life worse.
Second, you need to make it harder for yourself everyday, but just by a little, so that you can progress through the load.
Day by day, you’ll see that happiness and sadness other emotions are merely theatrics that your programming is pulling to get your attention and pull you back to previous comfortable modes of living.
But ultimately, you’re the designer of your reality, not whoever gave you your current programming, so the choice of going back to comfort or pushing ahead is up to you.
What do you choose?
Remember, the truth can only liberate you. It doesn’t promise you success or happiness at the end of the road.
With the path I just revealed, in case you didn’t already know it, you’ll become way better, and you’ll achieve a much better life quantitatively and qualitatively.
You’ll have more and better relationships, better opportunities, and it won’t be long before everyone wants to know your name, wanting a piece of you.
Just make sure to ground yourself consistently, or else you’ll lose track of what actually matters and start pursuing arbitrary goals.

Blurb:
I haven’t studied as much as I would’ve liked to for today, but I’ve noticed that studying at least a little comes to me much easier than ever. With this, I’ll push my limits bit by bit, and be the person I want to be.
As much as it saddens me to say, but I had to make certain sacrifices, especially my current social life. With the exception of two to three friends that I see regularly, I pretty much went cold turkey.
Most of that has to do with expectations, and different goals in life.
