You need to actually care about your future self.
It helps if you’re confident enough to know you’ll get everything you want in life, but are humble enough to know that it won’t just come to you.
We like to put things off and say we don’t have time for it. But we know we’re lying to ourselves.
Everyone has time for things, it’s just that we don’t make it a priority.
It might be we’re avoiding it because we’re scared of failure.
At some point we’re going to need to go for it.
It’s up to you to decide when enough is enough and make a change.

The Story Of The Cuban Punk Rock Community Who Chose to Infect Themselves with HIV to Escape Persecution
It’s hard to imagine why anyone would voluntarily infect themselves with one of the deadliest viruses in human existence, but for “Los Frikis” – a Cuban punk community living under the regime of Fidel Castro during the 80s and 90s – injecting themselves with HIV-infected syringes was the easiest way to escape persecution and police harassment.
Los Frikis, the name than became synonymous with punks, metalheads and pretty much anyone who didn’t fit in with mainstream Cuban society, came together during the late 1980’s. Their music, dressing style and culture were influenced by that of similar communities in the United States and other European countries, something that didn’t sit well with Fidel Castro’s communist regime. Most of the bands also sang in English, which only made things worse for Frikis in general. Although the language was purely an aesthetic choice, speaking English in those days was considered a huge no-no.
Confessions Of A Freemason
(photo by Aphexlee)
For those of us who don’t really know, can you summarize what the freemasons are all about?
Freemasonry is the largest fraternal organization for men who believe in a Supreme Being in the world. More or less.
Is it true that the Freemasons secretly control or maintain a portion of the real control over the United States Government?
It is true that many of founding fathers and patriots (Washington, Franklin, Hancock, Revere), US Presidents (Truman, Ford), Supreme Court Justices (Warren, Marshall) , et al are or were Freemasons, and many of the government buildings were laid Masonically. The influence is undeniable. The Boston Tea Party was carried out largely by Masons, for example. You see many facets of Masonry carried over into our system of government — one person, one vote, secret ballot, executive term limits, even the oaths of office have similarities.
But that said, Masons don’t run the world as if we were a secret cabal. It just so happens that many of our members are accomplished men, which includes politics but is hardly limited to it. Harry Houdini was a Mason. Duke Ellington was a Mason. John Glenn is a Mason.
