My journey from cocaine addiction to Self mastery
Hey guys, here is my journey and the lessons I learned As @Mark X requested I share it her it is It all started about 20 years ago when I was 15, at the time I was feeling a little bit depressed and wanted to build freedom in my life, my parents were very strict and did listen to my complains seriously I was being bullied at school since the age of 8 and couldn't take it anymore, I was raised as Catholic and in the bible Jesus said if you get slapped on the right cheek give them your left which might have worked for him but didn't work for me, more Than that the only option my parents allowed me to use was to report the Bulling to the teachers... which only made it worse I remember the day It all changed, it was science class and someone made fun of me, and everyone laughed... even the teacher deep inside of me I felt rejected and, I felt betrayed by my parents, I had done everything to be the good kid they wanted me to be and I was forced to go to a school where I was just suffering So I made the decision to become the most rebellious and most popular kid of my school I started organising parties, first in bars (alcohol consumption for beers and low % beverage is allowed from 16) then at my parent's house when they were away, one day I met a dude at apery I had done in my parent's house we had ecstasy this blew my mind (duh) and I decided I was going to sell it, it would make me popular, feel good, and get money which happened, for the next ten years I was selling and making money I was known in various circles and clubs, owners would often prefer me as I was suppling their clients with good stuff without causing trouble this activity gre pretty well and I had a large range of products, basically all I'd want to consume on a daily basis at the peak I had 8 people working for me, and this is where things got tricky, one day my associate and best friend decided to set me up, this started an spiral of paranoia and overconsumptions, guns got involves and I wasn't ready for it

Finger Pointing at the Moon
"It is like a finger pointing away to the moon. Don’t concentrate on the finger or you will miss all that heavenly glory" I'm sure every fan of Bruce Lee will recognize this quote from Enter the Dragon. But I started to read Tao of Jeet Kune Do, and Linda Lee's words led me to a new level of understanding. Of course in the context of the movie, Bruce Lee is mentoring a junior martial artist. But like most of his teachings, the advice goes beyond fighting. And I dare to say, I feel this quote also encapsulates a huge struggle he had to face in his own life. It's no secret that his Jeet Kune Do was a mix of Eastern and Western schools of martial arts and philosophy. But I didn't know how big of an influence the Western ideas really shaped him. According to Linda Lee, many of Bruce Lee's own theories are directly related to those expressed by boxing and fencing coaches, such as Edwin L Haislet, Julio Martinez Castello, Hugo and James Castello and Roger Crosnier. For those who don't know, like I didn't, Edwin was a boxing coach who wrote Boxing. Julio Martinez Castello was a legendary Spanish fencing figure. And Roger Crosnier wrote Fencing with the Foil. When I had the image of boxing and fencing in my head, I could see how Bruce Lee got his footwork and quickness from. And I'd like to point out his quickness, which ironically isn't about being physically quick. In his Chinese handwriting, he said, "physical power is weak relative to that of the mind; the body is slow but the mind is fast." From my experience playing basketball and competing in sports. I absolutely agree with him that being fast really is about mentally prepared. When you can anticipate situations and know your options, you get to act immediately when situations arise. Now anticipation of situations must not be confused with anticipation of results. The latter is wishing for certain things to happen. And it's a dangerous trap! Bruce Lee specifically called this one out. If you anticipate winning, you relax at times you shouldn't and will be caught off guard. If you anticipate losing, you freeze at the moment you should act.
