What Is Making The World Sick?
And Why Self-work Is The Medicine.
Personal development and self-work are not good for business.
What is good for business?
What is good for business is mass manipulation. Laziness is also good for business. Constant distraction is so fucking good for business.
These are the areas where plenty of money is made. Yet, these are still the areas where much of the world's sickness comes from. However, as I sit down to write this letter, I have some good news for you.
There is true hope for those of us who are ready to step up and focus on ourselves in order to thrive in life, work, and business without relying much on what is going on in the mainstream world of politics, business, and religion.
So personal development may not be good for business. That’s right. But it is good for you since it turns you into a business. And being your own business is something you should be considering.
Anyway…

Yesterday evening, I was hanging out with my clique while enjoying drinks in the presence of chilled music and pretty girls. And I am going to tell you a story…
Magret, -not her real name- is coming out of a failed marriage after 4 years and having a baby girl out of it. She and I are standing on top of an apartment rooftop. Leaning onto the walls and grills while overlooking the green Banana hills in Kiambu. The horizon is orange as the sun ball slowly lingers down shining in the west. Marget is new to me. Like I have never met her before. This is the first time I’m meeting her and it’s through my man[ name hidden.]
But Magret is not alone…
Neither was I alone. There is Clara [not her real name] Clara is Magret’s friend. And then there is [name hidden.] who is also my man. So that is 5 of us….3 dudes and 2 chics. I know that is not a good ratio but… really, there is something wrong with the world.
You see… after some deep but short conversations with Magret, she openly admitted to me that men are trash and that she feels every day like going to hire a gun and kill her baby daddy. I won’t tell you a lot about Magret but what I’ll tell you is this…Magret admitted that she won’t ever be settling down with a man again. She is better off dating and enjoying sex while living her own life. Magret clearly told of how she wasted her life on a man who ended up ruining her and leaving her for the trenches. For a minute I felt for her. Because I know that when a man chooses a girl, he has to be able to provide, protect, and guide her. And I know that the tribulations of Magret and many other women like her can be reduced if men worked properly on themselves[raise their consciousness] before choosing to have babies with a girl. Might be biased, but that is it.
Now don’t get me wrong. I do not support Magret and her ideas of hiring a gun and shooting men. I don’t certainly believe when Magret says that men are trash.
Because who knows? Maybe the trash is herself.
What I am supporting is you and I focus on ourselves before we open up and welcome others into our intimate world. Raising your consciousness by heightening self-awareness and empathy is the secret medicine to leveling up your life enjoyment and healing the world's sickness. It’s your life’s purpose to unlock your mind from the mental sickness of the world. And through these series of letters, you are on the train of doing just that. Together, you and me on board.
Socrates, one of the earliest Western philosophers used to teach a really interesting idea. He had an interest in the politics and affairs of the state but never went for political office. He believed that the only way to purify the state was by improving the individual citizen through the education of his mind to recognize virtue and right. That is why he spent much of his life solving the puzzle of human enlightenment.
Guess what Socrates taught? Know thy self. Yes. Know yourself to separate yourself from the sickness of the world
And that now brings me back to the title of the letter.
What is making the world sick?
One of the biggest problems with the world is that people are vibrating at a really low frequency and energy.
People are unconscious of the actions they take every day. People are unconscious of their environment.
Oh my god, people lack the secret spice of life known as self-awareness.
And it’s not people’s fault. No. All blame goes back to the governments, the school system, the employment system, the religious systems, and any other mainstream systems you can think of.
Now don’t get me wrong, I am not saying all those systems are bad per se. It’s the sick and evil minds of people in those systems.
Moving forward…
Everyone who has ever existed as a human being is a victim or was once a victim of worldwide oppression.
But guess what?
We are not going to sit there and cry about the sickness of the world. We are not going to victimize and cry and despise one another like the way Magret despises men.
No.
We have only one good chance to turn things around and experience true life enjoyment. For example, whether Magret likes it or not, the world will still be cruel if she refuses to heal and open herself to unconditional love.
Now how to do this? How do we heal and help heal the burning soul of the world and experience true life enjoyment?
Surely that is going to need another letter or maybe two letters to explain. That is why I am going to stop there and kick on again next Monday.
And now my call… Three years ago, I quit my job in order to work on my mindset and follow personal freedom. At that time, my world was burning with a soul-crushing job among many other crazy stuff. But today, I am happy to report that I saw the light and my awareness has been heightened. I am in a different career field building and already enjoying my personal business. And now I can only rise higher. I can only move forward. And I wish the same for you.
Ok. I don’t think 1 million people are going to get this message now. But I believe 1 million people can get this message. So remember to tell a friend about this letter. Until next we
