Instacart, bringing the store to your door this Halloween. Mediocrity is behind you. Success is in front of you. We choose to go to the moon. In the lonely chapter, you decide which way you will go. We have ignition. All engines are running. We live in a world that demands more thought, more deep work. The lonely chapter can be defined oftentimes as a season where you go to war with yourself. This is 3-Quote-A-Base.

The eagle has landed. I'm descending the ladder. See the Earth? Entire planet Earth? You decide which way you will go. And we are immersed in whirlpools of busyness, noise, and pleasure. And the question is, can a man cut off temporary pleasures for long-term purposes? The pain that you feel right now, this is the sign.

of success. It is the sign of a man or a woman, a boy, a girl who is willing to make the necessary sacrifices to achieve their target. In order to get through the lonely chapter, he must embrace the lonely chapter. There comes a time in every man's life, a moment of clarity where one realizes

There is more. And in order for us to manifest more, we must become more. And this requires us to withdraw ourselves at certain moments and seasons and chapters at a time to find ourselves or to rediscover ourselves or to reinvent ourselves. When was the last time you sat alone with your thoughts in silence? You went for a walk, a bus ride, a train ride,

A trip away, a climb in the mountains, a hike down a trail to rediscover yourself, to find who is the real you. There are seasons in our lives that summon us to go deeper. The question is, can you detach yourself from every disempowering, limiting belief? From every lid, from every label, from every limitation, from everything you've made a crutch?

Can you resist what has been irresistible? The false dopamine that you have so heavily relied on. Can you delete the app? Can you cancel the membership? Can you end the subscription? Can you step out of the toxic relationship? We want proximity. We want attention. We want availability. We want the presence of people who are draining us. Ask yourself this question.

Are the people in your lives fountains or drains? Do they give to you or do they take from you? At this juncture, nothing else matters. I gotta disappear. I got work to do. There is a chapter that is on the horizon where you withdraw yourself from every distraction, all artificial significance and noise, and you find yourself. This is the place where every aspiration has a voice.

and every dream grows wings. Our dreams do not grow wings in the stillness of the night. Somewhere inside of you, there is a spark, an ember of possibilities that you could become the man or woman of your dreams, the person you desire to be, the person that you desire to see. Solitude is the corridor and the gateway to the future. It is the trail

and path most avoid when i get alone with myself i get along with my thoughts i realize i've made solitude a monster masquerading in my life as a constant reminder that i am not enough when the truth is solitude is a gift solitude is a bridge a gateway a path

out of the simulation of artificial significance. It's amazing to me how we build these lives of simulations, these imitative representations of reality. We construct these lives of artificial significance, busyness, distraction, noise, emails, text messages, DMs, and a cloud of people that call themselves our friends, but are only with us when we are winning.

And they don't even know who we really are. And the moment that we go through a losing season, they're gone. They will abandon us. When I can get alone with myself, I can step into identity. Most people don't have what it is that they desire because they really don't know what they want. They don't know what they need and they don't know who they are.

When I can get along with myself and my thoughts, I can plan tomorrow, today. I can journal, I can walk, I can work out, I can get in touch with my strengths and my weaknesses. I can identify where I'm winning, where I'm losing, where I need to improve, how I can step up.

I can schedule my priorities. I can manage my energy. I can scrupulously investigate and evaluate where is my life and where will it be in the next five years? When people see me, what do I want them to think? How will I be remembered? What will I accomplish? What will I become? Can I get to this place that I've never been before? It is possible to do this.

When the chapter of being alone is no longer seen as lonely, but we see it as beauty, brilliance, wisdom. You know, sometimes being alone is about protecting your peace. It's about understanding that peace is like a crown jewel. It's finding that quiet space to find myself and begin to deconstruct and begin to unlearn some things and relearn some things.

You got to get serious about your peace and your future. I've got to find what I've been called to do. I've got to discover my purpose, make that difference, make the connections, create something, build something, and then go back and help the people that were lost with me. And so that alone time is that time to reflect and recharge and to imagine bold, courageous, more intentional, more dialed in.

Some of the strongest souls, innovators, pioneers, captains of industry, CEOs, entrepreneurs, game changers, city shifters, world changers have emerged out of suffering and solitude. As you step into this chapter alone, my question to you is, who will you be when you come out? And what will you give back to the world?
