Contra

Your current limitations are not permanent fixtures of reality. They are simply the boundaries of your present understanding and effort. What you cannot do today becomes possible tomorrow through sustained focus and deliberate practice. The question is not whether you have what it takes. The question is whether you’re willing to endure the temporary discomfort of becoming the person who has what it takes. Choose growth. Choose difficulty. Choose the path that makes you slightly uncomfortable, because that discomfort is your compass pointing toward expansion. Make today count. Gm

gm You know that moment when you load up Nostr and the world's drama just doesn't appear? That instant sigh of relief when you remember exactly why you keep coming back to Nostr every day. No algorithmically surfaced catastrophes. No engineered anxiety. Just signal.

Gonna be spending most of the day spoiling Mrs. Contra for her birthday. Gm and have a great morning Nostr

Maduro’s phone after being captured

In the 1960’s, about 9% of children lived with a single parent. By 2020, it’s around 25-30%. It’s def higher today. Children in single parent homes have significantly higher rates of poverty, lower educational attainment, and more behavioral issues on average. I want to know your top 3 reasons why?

The elite class and governments exist in a constant state of capture…molding systems, extracting wealth, controlling narratives. Nostr is our response. Together, we have the opportunity to shape a future built on shared principles. Decentralized communication, sound money, and freedom from institutional control. Gm Nostr

When your housed at the same prison in NY City

People grinding through zero engagement on Nostr are built different. Patience isn’t passive here. It’s strategic. Nostr rewards consistency over cleverness. The protocol doesn’t optimize for virality. It optimizes for signal. Keep posting.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

“What’s the point of winning if you lose yourself to win” Success without integrity is hollow. If you have to betray who you are to win, the victory is meaningless because the “you” that wins is a stranger. You’ve essentially killed yourself to achieve something that no longer matters to the person you’ve become. Authentic victory requires preserving your essential self.

Brothers, when you return home to find your wife worn down by the day’s labors (children tested her patience, disorder crept in despite her efforts, plans unraveled), she may look to you as if you could fix what feels broken. Resist the temptation to become her functional messiah. Your calling isn’t to rescue her from every hard providence or absorb her frustrations as though you could bear what only Another can carry. Point her upward. The comfort she needs, the strength for tomorrow, the peace in chaos…these flow from the throne, not from you. Love her by reminding her where true help comes from. Pray with her. Open Scripture together. Lead her to the well you both drink from. You can’t be her savior because that position is already filled. Be the husband who faithfully directs her gaze to Him.
