It’s easy to say that from the moment we begin socializing, we’re on pace for our end game. I get that. Honestly, a lot of it holds weight. The same virtues that began blossoming at a young age are what developed me today. The part I can’t agree with is that your reputation will prevent/gain you access from opportunity. Sure, in some cases, but don’t let that stop you from creating bigger opportunities. Not everyone will like you, that’s okay, in the game, there is a stat sheet. Are you scoring or bench warming? Acceptance of yourself is required for wealth, acceptance of others? No. Get to work.

Phase I Environmental
The truth in every life is we are conditioned, it’s our birth right. Now if we can take a mutual understanding early here, let’s agree that any conditioning takes place over 7 year periods, to set in and be our way of being. Doing that, we can accept that each upbringing from 0-7 is unique and different. Before we can even get a grip on the depth of mathematics or various literatures, we are set on being conditioned in an environment we do not control.
Limited grip on who we are to become from 0-7..
If you’re like me, somehow you ended up with a $20, or sometimes more, for the Scholastic Book Fair. That doesn’t mean I knew what I was looking for, the way I do now . . But one year, I got the Chronicles of Narnia set, and I read the first 3 right away, getting stuck on Prince Caspian, and fantasy, this is the age of 7/8, maybe 10. Those were the first novels I read by my own accord. A lovely experience.
I was also very intrigued by the journeys of the mystics at an early age. Often gravitating to Ancient Egyptian Picture Books in my early childhood. I’ve always been more of a visual/audible learner, throughout grade school, even now, but it wasn’t until I passed the age of 13 that I became a true visualizer.
However, I didn’t pick up many books then, mainly a PS3 controller to play various CODs, with my cousin and his friends, then a 360 controller to do the same thing with MW2, except mostly with my friends, and step dad, we played Madden for a bit too.
You can imagine how easy and safe those times were, in the comfort of your home, getting respawns often, depending on the game mode.
Many times when I was on my own, I’d play FIFA Seasons. Sometimes wishing I was introduced to the sport at a younger age, being that I had many Futbol friends then and occasionally played indoor soccer with them.
I felt I lacked experience always, in my teens, but all those times were fun, and no regrets about the process is important. The conditioning you experience from 14-21 includes lots of blunders, and learning experiences on your way to finding your purpose, never stop seeking it. These years can be foundational, but it’s not all of life.
Hypothetically, let’s accept that to condition/de- or re-condition ourselves, each phase takes 7 years to fully settle / take affect (with bones/foundation taking 15 yrs). That’s a lengthy remediation of the dirt within our skin. That’s committing to something for 84 Months, 336 weeks, 2,352 days, 56,448 hours, 3,386,880 minutes, 203,212,800 seconds (if you’re about it every second of everyday for 7 years straight).
You do this already . . through the conscious, unconscious, and subconscious minds. Through the mind of the gut and through the spine, till your end of time. In hindsight, if I’m going to die, don’t I want to be in better awareness of every second? Right?
Phase 1: is realizing how wealthy we are, without even burning 10 years of time.
Knowing that our reputation develops over a lifetime, rather than simply in childhood, you can now take control in any moment. You’re already worth 9 figures, so chill out for a second and be present . . Take in abundance. Here’s a short excerpt from a Human Design Article on Deconditioning and it’s uncompromising nature.
“This process can also take a lot of time. It’s often suggested that it takes a minimum of 7 years to complete a full deconditioning cycle. This happens to be the length of time for a Saturn square (transiting Saturn is 90 degrees to natal Saturn) to occur in one’s birth chart and is said to be roughly the time it takes for a majority of cells in the body to regenerate. Note: current scientific research holds that some of the body’s cells regenerate much more quickly, while others like those in the skeletal system can take as long as 15 years (two Saturn squares), and some of the body’s cells will never regenerate.”
I don’t mean to push anyone towards Human Design and I’m not some guru giving out readings or anything like that. I got The Definitive Book of Human Design, (it doesn’t even feature much info on me) to learn about the 5/1 Emotional Manifesting Generator, what it says I am. But the realizations and the things that click throughout learning about the system are pretty intriguing and challenge your perspectives, if you choose to educate yourself on them. The one key of this entry is that ‘some of the body’s cells will never regenerate’.
Sometimes a bridge gets burnt so bad, it’s never rebuilt, find ways to live with that.
The point of utilizing a Human Design reference and pointing at conditioning is to reinforce my next entry, the Phase 2 Report, where we will briefly dive into being remediated. In Joy.
Phase 2; Mostly Mental
After we go through our Phase One to attain our equity multiples, we move to Phase 2, which would reflect ages 21-28, where you can really start to change drastically, putting yourself in opportunities way, you can even put yourself in shape to excel in any range, or level up, from 28-35, 35-42, 42-48, 48-55, etc, etc. We are only as old as we make ourselves out to be, it’s why I’m 26 getting mistaken for 19 or 17. Regeneration.
When working out these times in your life, you start to develop a much more well rounded personality, as the years come and pass. You’'ll likely become more socially aware in the first 7-21, you start to break some rules hopefully 0-21 (and sometimes till 27).
Start to experiment with the things you might like, but not falling into your parents footsteps so much, just doing what feels most purposeful and right, to you, in each moment. Be grateful.
My dad was out of my life when I was 2 and my mom was still partying by the time I was 4, I was conditioned to call my grandparents “mom” and “dad” - as we all lived in the same house, myself, my younger aunt, my older aunt, grandparents, and mother. So naturally, I was conditioned to call them what everyone in the house did.
However, I started pushing the back of envelope math pretty young. I remember early in my career, roughly 5/6 years of age, I was getting ready to go to school, and my mom asked to see my homework for spelling, weird? But check it out, I intentionally wrote down ‘ass’ instead of ‘as’ - my smirk when confronted by her made sure I received a nice spanking, on the divine denim behind, those jeans protected me from pain often.
I was a lil punk those days, either the belt my grandma would wear around her belly, or La Chancla, I was finding ways to get my ass whooped in the sub 1,000 sq ft 3/1 😆.
I’m not here to have you hear more stories. I want you to realize, whether you’re a parent or plan to be, currently have younger siblings, or whatever the relationship is.
DON’T SCRUTINIZE PEOPLE TOO HEAVILY.
We want to be conditioned by the environments WE CHOOSE, not controlled by the ones that were our ‘birth right’.
We also don’t want to be projected on negatively by those who are older in age.
Let us be. That was my childhood mentality. Might still be present in me . .
That’s why when we moved out of my grandparents house, I was always outside. I had friends throughout my 7-14 years that always wanted to bike, skate, be outside, play with lightsabers, shoot BB guns, do cool ass kid shit that unfortunately . .
the adults of modern age do not endorse that, either because they’re bums who don’t believe in themselves or they’re playing it too safe with their ‘babies’
That’s why I’m often in a ‘F**k You’ attitude.
Because I’m forced to personally step up and start taking on the 💩 most of you let go by, not even realizing . . .
Why do I have to be the age I am and realize the disgrace of some of the generation that ignored important junctions when they were supposed to be watching our 360?
Our ‘big brothers’.
Instead we got Big Brother, working to surveil everything we do… recording our lives.
So I will spit on selfish behavior and shine light on righteous behavior every damn day.
Which always cracks me up about engaging with the old heads. I love them but can you just show us the way to do what you failed to do early on, instead of muting or spitting on the choices we’re making . . . in our early on . . . we to be the greatest men or women we can be, in life and business, for YOUR Kids. And our own. Thank you.
To Exercise Contingency or Not
Well you got what you came for, the money’s on the wire. Your darkest demon rising.
If you act like you’re not up against the clock, you’re going to lose that Earnest Money Deposit. Wake Up. Don’t be a little shit.
I’ve put 3 RE deals under contract personally, and looked at probably the same number of CRE, in serious consideration, but never made an offer in CRE. Maybe one was a dev site that was 5 houses to be torn down, but I wasn’t who I am now, someone who could pull off the plan I had for such a thing. I failed to submit the EMD.
Only 1 of 6 I made something with, not that the others made absolutely no sense, there was just the risk of taking on outside capital while being an unstable 20 something.
So I’ll take ~16% win ratio on being solo, and preserved Rep. That’s fine by me, even if the win was a wholesale that I blew all the commissions on before I looked back up again.
Fine by me.
Sometimes you lose that earnest money deposit, or fail before it, it’s what you do next that matters most. Are you out of the game for 3 months in a row, or are you back in the kayak, tryna find your next dough?
Whenever you’re feeling low, just try and be less like him, and go in with the right mentality. No matter what anyone tells you about ‘your reputation’, they’re gossiping to begin with. Figure out solutions and be of high value to yourself foremost, everyday. Stay focused. Prove yourself to you that you are and don’t worry about the opinions of people who aren’t.
Geronimo have a great week and crush it daily, like you have been. 🇺🇸💹
