Earlier I caught half of a Molyneux podcast (#5558) and he was talking about the small percentage of people that actually really apply themselves in therapy and the self-knowledge process. This has also born out, in my experience. One of the difference makers that I see for those who do make a lot of progress in this regard is people who have a supporting and activated spouse. Not only do you get double the growth with a significant other, the synergy can really kick off to new levels if the other person is a dedicated and devoted student.
I always urge people to work as hard on themselves as possible BEFORE they have children as even one child is a massive emotional and intellectual investment. For men, the time you have to spend going out and earning usually goes up, at least when you're young. For women, you are often low on sleep, pregnant again, or homemaking, which is no small chore and no easy task.
Another factor that works in people's favors is total commitment and focus. To get a job done right, you have to excavate your soul like your life depends on it. I continue to keep this ethic in my own life for a number of reasons. I have a highly competitive nature. I simply have a natural knack for the work. And I am often dissatisfied with my own performance once I've uncovered a new standard, which is happening on a nearly daily basis.
Getting to the golden shores of sanity is a ton of work, especially in the beginning. And getting there is not a guarantee of staying. People drift in and out. People make mistakes and then decide not to humble themselves and figure out why. The outside world of addiction, status, and evil against children is constantly putting pressure on people to develop addictions, worries, and conflicts with other sane people.
Having a look at one of Miles Mathis' "favorite films" and the social commentary relevant at the time.
A longer look at the evils of Section 8, the undue advantage it has granted, and the destruction it has wrought on Middle America. Enjoy!
Tracking has gone really well! I'm 90% of the way there on parts recorded, just a solo here and a fill there to go. Then mixing and mastering. That's SOMETIMES the quicker piece.
The lead single will be "Sabrina". It's about stalking a certain pop star who is always murdering men in her music videos. It's one of the best songs I've ever done. It will be the first track on the EP for max "visibility".
For a couple of years I've had a concept album kicking around in my head and as of tonight, I have the basics in place - meaning a good amount is already recorded. It will be called The Anti-Woman EP. Basically it will be a bunch of bait for womyn. I'm hoping it will have more commercial appeal so I'm thinking a lot about album cover art.
Once this one is in the can, I'll have a more "Steven Franssen" album basically ready to go after that. It's already 90% done. I'm considering doing a music video for the Anti-Woman EP. A few lyrics I will likely have to tone down because I don't want to get banned from Spotify. Like, I REALLY don't want that to happen. If you'll remember, one of my strikes on YouTube before my 17k channel was banned was because I made a spicy comment about a woman's weight.
I have seven songs and Spotify limits EP's to six tracks, so I have ONE to cut. I'll get you a track listing once it's good to go!
One of the songs is called Breeding Sow.
