Memo: "Is it possible to drink and not be basic (have a mission)?"
Posted: Thu Feb 29, 2024 8:34 pm
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,520
Is it possible to drink and not be basic? Absolutely. Is it possible to
2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,440
elevate from being basic while drinking? No. Can't find your mission while
3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:26,640
you're drinking. Maybe you know it already, but you can't. I mean I found
4
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,920
I'm before I started drinking. I started drinking later. Yeah, maybe I got
5
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:39,080
off track, maybe I did it. And there's definitely been multi-year periods of
6
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:48,160
not drinking since then. But sometimes some beers are good. Sometimes some
7
00:00:48,160 --> 00:01:00,520
liquor is nice. Sometimes occasionally, gods regularly, what's the difference
8
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:11,440
between those words? I mean even regularly isn't quite the right word.
9
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:18,760
Habitually, like you can't need it. If you can't do it, then it can't be a
10
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,320
problem. You can't want to do it. You can look forward to doing it. You can do it
11
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:30,520
every week. But if you don't do it that week, then how do you respond? That's the
12
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,280
question.
13
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:43,120
So what's your mission? If you don't know, put down the bottle. If you know
14
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:49,240
your mission and you got some bottles, have fun. If you got bottle issues, put
15
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,320
down the bottle for a little bit. If you're on your mission, you're not going to
16
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:58,840
be picking it up too much anyway. So that's that. So if you ever see me
17
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,600
drinking, I'm not a hypocrite. If I'm telling people to stop drinking, because I'm
18
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:08,760
like, you're a basic. You don't know what your mission is. What are you doing
19
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,000
drinking? Where are me? I'm like, yo, I've been working on my mission for a
20
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
long time. Yeah, maybe I've been sidetracked. You can point to that. But if you
21
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:25,600
see me drinking, it's probably not a problem. Oh, but it might be so I better
22
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,920
just ask you just in case you shouldn't. I can't believe you anyway, because alcoholics
23
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:37,800
never tell the truth. Yeah, alcoholics who are basic. If you're on a mission, if you
24
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:45,160
got a mission and you're becoming alcoholic, you'll notice. So none of that basic
25
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,040
stuff applies to creators who know their mission.
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,120
Contrary to alcoholics too, there can be people who are like so opposed to it that they
2
00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:19,720
won't even talk to a person who knows they drink, but that's just unrefined.
3
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:27,160
You actually want to be avoiding basic people, not people who drink, but one a lot more
4
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:35,560
basic people than people who know their mission will drink to begin with, but you know, everyone's
5
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,880
a little bit different and some people who have their mission can be heavy alcoholics, earnest
6
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,920
timing way, right drunk at it sober.
7
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:53,200
See, he knew that he had multiple jobs as a writer and an editor and he knew what he could
8
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,200
do.
9
00:00:55,200 --> 00:01:03,680
He had his mission, that's fine, be a drunk, do things drunk, have fun.
10
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:12,040
But if he was just some guy, read a book once, he's like, yeah, I'd be like him in a way,
11
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,920
I'd just get missed, but I'm not a comp, him in a way wasn't accomplished at one point either.
12
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:24,520
So, but before he was accomplished, he knew what he was going to do, probably you worked
13
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:31,440
in that direction, you made accomplishments, you got there, stuff like that doesn't
14
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:37,760
just handed to you, however it may look from the outside, 10 years to make an overnight
15
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:44,920
success is a meme, everyone knows that.
16
00:01:44,920 --> 00:02:00,920
So, I've been a 10 year overnight success and I've been a failure since then, but I know
17
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:09,360
my mission and so, winner is just a loser who got up one more time, people on a mission
18
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,240
will keep getting up, totally fine and normal.
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,240
There is this sentiment that while in practice can be helpful over a lifetime is probably
2
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:16,600
destructive because of what I was talking about with a basic versus addict and someone
3
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:24,400
who is on their purpose so you can be on your purpose and addict and still reach your
4
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:31,840
purpose reach for your purpose you know and it's a problem but if you're just basic
5
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:36,400
and you don't have a purpose then the addiction sort of fills the void of purpose and
6
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,640
it feels like your purpose so there's no end to it. It's hard to say that you know
7
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:48,120
celebrities who are on their purpose maybe they're not maybe they're just in a side
8
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,440
track that they're really good at too and they don't have their purpose and they die
9
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:00,360
of addiction and it's side effects like overdosing just trying to chase that, chasing the
10
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:18,800
dragon but if you have your purpose probably less likely it can probably happen mistakes
11
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:33,920
happen misjudgments you know but yeah someone is like yeah I respect someone
12
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:45,240
10 times less if I know that they drank. Wow that's just way too basic of a
13
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:55,480
view and you know on the contrary someone who is basic could be rich and seem like
14
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,160
they're not really on the contrary just why I said about celebrities they could have
15
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,680
found something that works and kept going with it and the world keeps feeding them because
16
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:10,800
the world wants you to stop developing your purpose maybe the world can see your purpose
17
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:16,200
but they still encourage you to do acting or sales or whatever it is because you're
18
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,640
good at it and it keeps you distracted because you're good at it and I even might even
19
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:30,080
grease the wheels help you get some wins. It's your like yeah I'm really good at this I
20
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:37,520
just forget about whatever else like but that's where the addiction to fill the void of
21
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:49,560
your purpose would come in is okay now you're you know doing what the world wants and
22
00:02:49,560 --> 00:03:02,200
it's all great but you know a deep inside you're not doing your purpose and so you do
23
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,640
something else because you're like man whatever I'm doing's working you didn't even know what it is you
24
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:13,000
don't even know that it's like oh yeah let me get messed up because I'm not on my purpose man I'm
25
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:19,400
killing it why am I getting so messed up you just don't even know
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,520
Is it possible to drink and not be basic? Absolutely. Is it possible to
2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:15,440
elevate from being basic while drinking? No. Can't find your mission while
