The one truth every man must know to survive in this world is that he will, no matter what, no matter how many obstacles pile up in his way, he must know in his bones that he will find a way through them all. this is the only thing that matters, the only question worth asking, not what could happen or who might stand in your path, but whether or not you will, in the end. because if you start with that knowledge, if you hold it tight and let that truth seep into your marrow, then theres not a goddamn thing in this world that can stop you. not fate, not the whole weight of history coming down on your shoulders. youll shrug it off. walk through the deepest rivers of shit imaginable and come out on the other side. and heaven and earth will move for the man who refuses to flinch.

Life is a perpetual game of putting meaning to suffering. Those that learn to win from their losses are the ones that succeed. You are going to suffer. One way or another. You MUST find a way to make it meaningful.

Some of you clearly didnโ€™t pay attention reading The Great Gatsby in high schoolโ€ฆ You canโ€™t recreate the past. Itโ€™s gone forever. If you desperately miss certain feelings or moments in time; Youโ€™re going to be insane. Because youโ€™re longing for something that doesnโ€™t exist.

God is not going to drag your bitter half formed soul into a promised land, it would spoil the milk and spoil the honey, and you would wreck it within a year. the thirst is teaching you. the rations are building someone who can receive a promise without choking on it. blessed are those who walk it without cursing the sand, for every grain grinds a slave into a son

Your weekend perogative should be to use your phone as little as possible, enjoy as much as possible, and be in a parasympathetic state as long as possible

Major cheat code for life: realizing you really can just wake up one day and say "that's enough of that" and change direction completely.

I wanted a thousand things in my life, and most of them i didn't get. and i looked at myself the way this post is asking me to, and thought i wasn't smart enough. but years passed, and i started seeing what each of those things would have done to me if i had gotten them, and every single one would have destroyed me - some fast and some slow. everything i didn't get turned out to be the smartest thing that happened to me, but it was not my smartness. it was something else deciding on my behalf, because i was not smart enough to decide for myself. sometimes not getting what you want is the only proof that something out there loves you more than you were ever capable of loving yourself

Hot take: If you're not getting what you want, you're not as smart as you think you are.

The hardest lesson is that comfort and happiness are not the same thing. A comfortable life can still leave a man empty, while suffering can become the very thing God uses to make him whole.

There was a 40 year period in history when samurai, pirates, and cowboys all technically existed at the same time.
What is your favorite historical fact?

A few years ago, I got into an Uber. The driver and I ended up having a deep conversation. He traced his relationship patterns to how love was withheld from him as a kid. Before I got out, he told me he'd just asked God for a sign to change his life. I recommended a book and wished him well. A week later, I ordered another Uber. It turns out... It was the same driver. And this time, he was reading the book that I recommended to him a week earlier. He told me his life had transformed in that week. That's a Divine Moment. I've shared a lot of my Divine Moments over the past few years online. But I've never actually taught the process for how to experience them yourself. So I'm launching a 2-week course so you can experience more Divine Moments. Over 14 days, we'll use guided meditation and hypnosis to invite more synchronicity, joy, and magic into your daily life. Here's what's included: โ€ข 14 live Zooms at 12pm CST (Monday, March 23 to Sunday, April 5) โ€ข Full replay access if you can't make it to a live session โ€ข Lifetime access to the recordings โ€ข 100% money back guarantee โ€ข Investment: $44 Join the group here: dannymiranda.com/divine-momeโ€ฆ

bible doesn't tell you what abraham thought because thoughts are vapor. only tells you what he did because actions are real. philosophy lives in your head. story lives in the world. abraham walked. abraham raised the knife. abraham obeyed. that's the whole story

You need to be holding the door open for people You need to be polite to strangers You need to be giving to the poor You need to be visiting widows in their affliction You need to be consoling the grieving You need to be working the soup kitchen You need to be virtue maxxing

dostoyevsky said hell isn't fire and chains but simply being unable to love. we search for God in cathedrals when he hides in the eyes of strangers who need us. in the beggar we rush past. in the enemy we refuse to forgive. in the parts of ourselves we keep locked in darkness. we pray for miracles while ignoring the burning bush of every ordinary moment. the greatest sin isn't hatred but indifference - the heart that feels nothing when it should break. and on judgment day, you won't be asked what you believed, but who you comforted when they wept in the garden alone.

The spiritual awakening nobody talks about is the one where you realize God has been orchestrating black swan events in your life specifically to destroy every false thing you built your identity on, and what you thought was bad luck was actually precision demolition. The reason it had to be unpredictable is because if you saw it coming you would have braced for it

There's no such thing as a sunk cost. You have to eliminate this concept from your mind. Doesn't matter how much you gave to something if it no longer inspires you to be the best version of yourself No money was lost because money is energy, and energy can't be destroyed. You simply transferred it into the form of wisdom. No time was lost either because the only way it could've been a waste it is if your past failed to teach you a lesson. It's all setting the stage for something so much greater than you can imagine Life has to be lived forward. Don't let false ideas of scarcity prevent you from actualizing your true potential. Trust that everything happens in your favor, and every experience is positioning you for a win
