Spend your time working on your inward character

Written By Brody Galletti

There are so many events outside of our control. These are called externals. We only control what we do, internally. What you work on internally will shine out externally soon enough. This is why it’s always important to be working on yourself, to be ready, to be sharp, and to be prepared. 

I got this idea from reading (listening) all of Robert Greene’s books on audible. All of the famous subjects he writes about from the most talked about times in history had such distinct and unique inward characteristics that shone throughout their lifetime, which is why they’re remembered to this day and still studied. 

Your quality of life is determined by your thoughts, perspective and how you respond to the world. Your life has nothing to do with what happens outside of you, it is all that about happens inside of you. So why isn’t your attention directed towards your ‘self-improvement?

It’s called self for a reason. These are your standards. You don’t get to project these standards onto anyone else, that’s egotistical. They’re for you and you alone.

Read books, go do an activity that no one else likes but you do and do it alone, do your gym workouts, and fuel yourself with the right food. Learn and study what feels like play to you. Develop yourself. 

By developing your inward character you’re building a strong foundation and gaining more knowledge of who you are. Now, decisions will have more clarity, what to say yes to, what to say no to. Where to put your time and protect it.

A lot of people call this Building the kingdom within. Filmmaker and writer Guy Richie said on the Joe Rogan podcast “You must be the master of your kingdom.

This takes time. You must put in the time. Working on your inner character is a lifetime journey and that’s the point. There is no finish line. Only can you keep doing it until your last days on this Earth? 

By working on and mastering yourself, inwardly, you will create a ripple effect that will leave the world in a better place than you found it. What’s good for the hive is good for the bees.

Until next time,

Brody

I started this blog to share my love of self education and continious evolving. As they say “write the book you want to read, make the movie you want to watch.” I’m writing the blog posts that I want to see that other blogs are not writing about.

I’m also here to share my love of life, learning, adversity, how to be self-critical and self-aware, humility, philosophy, reading and how to become a better human being and artist.

There will be a special focus for young men and men’s mental health. How to be a man, how to navigate the world as a man how to become a better man and how to best serve yourself and others. That’s what were here for. For each other.
