Season of Patience

Patience Alone Won’t Build Your Abundance

How much of your life is yours… and how much belongs to your phone?

The other day I caught myself doing something I’ve warned my sons about.

I picked up my phone before I picked up my purpose.

Moving like a broke man.

One notification turned into ten minutes.

Ten minutes turned into a dopamine fog.

And before I knew it, my mind was loud, my intuition was silent, and the day had already taken something from me.

That’s when it hit me:

This season isn’t about grinding harder.

It’s about quieting the noise long enough to hear the assignment.

| This is for the ones who refuse to tap out

That moment showed me something bigger than a bad habit.
It showed me what season I was actually in.

We’re in a Season of Patience.

But don’t confuse patience with sitting still.

This meditation cycle for me has been about quieting the noise.

Not stopping thoughts.

Sorting them.

Directing the mental traffic so I can move with clarity.

The noise never disappears. It gets organized.

And you already know when your season changes. Your intuition starts whispering long before your circumstances shift.

Right now, the world is screaming at you to move faster, post more, scroll more, consume more.

But this season? This season is about something different:

• Cutting the dopamine drip.
• Listening to the voice under the noise.
• Training yourself to act from intuition instead of impulse.

Patience is the surface. Discipline and direction are what sit under it.

Patience isn’t passive. Patience is preparation.

And the biggest threat to patience isn’t impatience.
It’s constant consumption.

The Consumption Trap – The Attention Economy Owns You

I’ve stepped out of the attention economy.

I don’t consume content like a broke man. I use platforms as tools, not toys. I’m not scrolling for dopamine; I’m scanning for patterns and inspiration.

Most people are:

• Waking up and scrolling the world’s trauma before they brush their teeth
• Letting “entertainment” rewire their nervous system
• Confusing overuse with what it is: addiction

Most people are living like this:

Your phone is a slot machine:

• Red bubbles
• Notifications
• Infinite scroll
• Pull to refresh
• Auto play
• Fake alerts

You live inside that stimulation long enough, predictably happens.
Focus disappears. Restlessness grows. And instead of questioning the environment, we start questioning ourselves.

That’s not entertainment. That’s behavioral conditioning.

Attention is love.

Whatever you feed your attention grows.

If you can’t focus, you can’t love:

• your craft
• your calling
• your family

You’re present, but you’re not there.

Mislabeling High-Frequency Minds – “Neurodivergent” Isn’t Broken

ADHD. ADD. AUDHD. Autism. Neurodivergent. Neurotypical.

The world keeps framing these as flaws.

I don’t see it like that.

If you write bad code, you don’t blame the computer. You fix the code.

Most of what gets labeled as a disorder is a mismatch between the person and the environment.

High-frequency minds in a low-effort world.

We’ve killed the hunt.

Killed the challenge.

Killed real movement.

Then we wonder why men with high-drive brains are restless, angry, unfocused, or numb.

So the system medicates them, labels them, shames them… instead of teaching them how to build an environment that fits their operating system.

High-drive minds are dropped into low-demand environments; the result isn’t peace.
It’s dullness. And dullness corrodes people quietly.

The Dullness of Modern Living – Comfort Is Quiet Death

The world has gone dull.

No challenge. No real pressure. Just comfort, convenience, and scrolling.

We have:

• No boredom
• No silence
• No true stillness

My grandma used to say boredom is good for children. Now boredom doesn’t exist.

We kill it with a swipe.

Silence, patience, boredom, meditation, they’re all doorways to clarity.

So why don’t we use them?

Because a man who can sit still and think is hard to control.

What boredom does for a child, silence does for a man.

Hustle culture, constant motion, always-on grind that’s not freedom.

That’s a different type of leash.

So the question becomes simple:
If modern life numbs us, what actually brings us back online?

Activation Principle – Get Your Dopamine Naturally

You don’t fix a hijacked brain by adding more screens.

You fix it by going back to how you were designed.

Here’s the protocol:

Move your body.

Run, lift, calisthenics, warrior walks. Challenge your body so your mind has a reason to calm down.

Fix things.

Replace the fan.Patch the fence. Learn how your systems work. Don’t outsource everything.

Create instead of consume.

Build a home server. Learn Linux. Set up your own media instead of letting algorithms spoon-feed you.

Teach what you know. If you can explain it to your kids, you’ve actually learned it.

This isn’t theory for me.
I’ve watched what happens when I ignore this and what changes when I don’t.

Receipts

I had a ceiling fan in my sunroom that needed to be replaced for over a year. Not because I wasn’t capable but because my dopamine was getting hit from my phone, from markets, from noise. I couldn’t even focus long enough to execute a simple task.

Then I built a server.

I love movies. Old shows. The stuff you can’t always find on streaming services.

That’s not “tech nerd” behavior. That’s sovereignty.

Take the same energy the attention economy uses to own you and flip it into building systems that serve you.

Once you relearn patience with your hands and your mind, it starts showing up everywhere else.

Patience doesn’t only apply to your mind. It applies to your money too.

Timing, Intuition, and the Market

There’s a Warren Buffett line I heard:

The stock market is like baseball. You don’t have to swing at every pitch. You wait for the one that comes between your knees and your shoulders.

That’s patience.

Not laziness. Disciplined waiting.

I’ve seen this in my own life with Bitcoin and markets.

I saw patterns developing months in advance. Everyone on the internet yelling $140K+, but my intuition was telling me, “There’s a pullback first. There’s a reset coming.”

I was right.

Not because I’m magic. Because I shut up, watched, listened, and trusted the patterns instead of the hype.

That same principle applies to:

• Your career
• Your business
• Your marriage
• Your fatherhood

A Season of Patience is where you watch, learn, fast, and refine.

When your pitch finally comes, you swing with intention.

Knowing Yourself = Hearing God Clearly

Here’s where most people get it twisted.

All this talk about:

• Self-knowledge
• Neurodivergence
• Learning styles
• Intuition

This isn’t self-worship. This is self-awareness so you can finally hear God instead of the noise.

It’s about understanding the design so you can finally hear the Designer.

If you don’t understand yourself, you will never fully understand what God is trying to do through you.

• Learn how you focus.
• Learn how you burn out.
• Learn what environments drain you vs. fuel you.

The more honest you are about your patterns, the clearer God’s patterns become.

Silence is where you hear that.

Not in the scroll. Not in the noise. In the stillness.

Patience gives you the stillness. Stillness gives you direction.

Attack the day—
