Alex won the game.

One who succeeds in obtaining large sums of money gets noticed in a society that believes security comes from wealth.

I’ve had money. At times quite a bit. What I’ve never had is “fuck you” money. My confusion drew me to Alex. How do I get freedom, please?

I’ve risked my future on a dream. Alex uncovered the secret to success. I wanted wealth to enjoy the good life that follows accumulation.

Freedom from security freed me from needing wealth. Prosperity followed the death of craving. Why do I care about him since my liberation?

He means well, self-reflects, and built a social media bonfire. What matters to me comes from knowing that the flames keep us trapped in the matrix.

The assumption that supports his celebrity status comes from a simple belief. He got wealthy from winning and how-to-succeed approaches.

The shift to knowing that wealth does not provide security from the condition of being human comes when this fire burns itself out.

Freedom comes when awareness shifts from getting to knowing. It’s what’s next and the new game. Nietzsche’s Superman arrived with a whisper.

Alex Hormozi is as close as it gets to truth on social media.

Is that good or bad?

It depends on your perspective. I’ll share mine. It’s proven in the marketplace of experience, knowledge, and freedom from struggle.

Know the difference between wealth and prosperity. Risk everything in the chase and end up with nothing but wealth, fame, and status.

Wealth: an abundance of valuable possessions or money. the state of being rich; material prosperity. Plentiful supplies of a particular resource.

Prosperity: the condition of being successful or thriving especially : economic well-being.

Prosperity comes with the feeling that success is inevitable. It’s activation requires clarity, confidence, and certainty. Actions come in fluid motion.

Successful people measure to validate themselves. Original creators of whatever the creation gain freedom. Everything including money follows.

Hormozi knows how to persuade. He got me to follow. That’s not easy. I’ve never been one to step in footprints made by others to scale hierarchies.

Life on the razor’s edge is my status quo not social media mountain climbing. You can’t be on the edge and inside the cocoon. The opposite of wealth is prosperity. It comes after one becomes free from false beliefs.

My great-grandfather knew this. He came to America. Jews sold stuff, told jokes, or made bagels. Leo Kaul picked sales. He’s in me. I’ve slept on my version of gym floors, ground myself to a pulp, and risked everything to avoid conforming. Unlike Alex, no $100 million. What was I doing wrong?

What happened brought a twist. Life rewarded me. It came without notification. Force, hustle, and metrics were crushed by my journey through an enormous black hole. You can’t bring wealth, as Midas learned.

Winning is not the goal of life. This has never been true across the story of humanity. The goal is to know your goal. It is to embrace the daily void. Prosperity takes care of itself. It comes with knowing nothing is missing.

Entrepreneurs are not gamblers playing the odds but rather warriors who create in flow not knowing how, when, or where the next battle will come. Safety in social embrace with wealth is the opposite of realizing prosperity.

Alex Hormozi is the real deal. Success came from the courage to become himself. What’s rarer is an individual who stands free outside the matrix.

This is truly the road less traveled. It’s what leads to lasting freedom, never the marketing offer. When I made the leap onto the razor’s edge it got clear.

“Magic will find those with pure hearts, even when all seems lost.” This is a prosperity strategy. It’s a killer part of his book. The most important one.

Alex succeeded by following these principles through knowing them in his experience. My burning desire to be something in the world came from inside. Freedom came not from success but rather being myself in motion.

All successful warriors throughout history, including Disney characters, must go through ordeals. I’ve sharpened my sword over a lifetime of entrepreneur adventures. The result? I’m steel wrapped in cotton.

The teleportation from rags to riches is an illusion. Alex Hormozi embraced a true inner experience, honed his skill in the fire of the market, mastered a business domain, surrendered to life, and took right action.

The money and amount of it is not relevant. Miracles come to those who stare fear in the face, admit the truth, and walk into the fire alone. I gave up everything that I have, knew, and did for prosperity. Freedom follows.

Alex’s talent is vast, potential huge, and it may be fulfilled. Black holes have a way with gravity. Will this broken funding system find a savior?

Stop wasting time following gurus who don’t tell you not to follow in their footsteps. They never did as they blazed the way. This is the freedom train.

Consider shifting your attention from wealth to prosperity. Think hard about these definitions. Find freedom in knowing the difference.

Prosperity as a state of being fits through even the smallest cracks. Wealth comes when you no longer care about money. It’s not found in the mirror.
