also being a good muslim is not just about avoiding sin or sinning less than others, but actively seeking out good deeds. we have been commanded to compete with each other over good deeds.

98% of people seek entertainment.
2% of people seek results.
The 98% hate the 2% and call them lucky.
You, can not, help 98% of people.
The best thing you can do is sell them entertainment they can afford.

When you "hit a wall" in something you are trying to learn, it's typically just a massive debt of unlearned prerequisites that are finally being called due.

Your biology is savvy. It will not adapt if it doesn’t have to. Why waste energy on testosterone production when you have no need for competition? Why sharpen your cognition when you have zero cognitive demand? Why burn fat when you have no energy expenditure?
It also adjusts to inputs. An apple doesn’t taste very good if you housed a sleeve of Oreos beforehand. Reading a book is torture if you just spent an hour scrolling TikTok.
Understand adaptation and use it to your advantage. Otherwise you will be taken advantage of. By manipulating inputs (neurochemical precursors, environment design, stimulation diet etc), you can force upregulation in areas that you want and avoid downregualtion in areas you don't

the truth is you’re ordinary until you prove otherwise.
no one is coming to discover you. no one is waiting to be impressed.
you build the proof yourself or you remain what you are.
