The Key to the Whole Universe, Lies in the Steps That You Were Just too Afraid to Make
"Fear is the only thing holding you back from everything you have ever even thought that you wanted. If you have never been "red pilled" and don't know the concept I urge you to look it up before reading along. Well, let's dive in, shall we?" ~Charles Morey~ Thinking Like Tesla: How Conquering Fear Unlocks the Key to the Universe Nikola Tesla, one of the most brilliant inventors in history, has become a symbol of innovation and vision. Tesla is often remembered for his inventions—alternating current, radio, and wireless technologies, to name a few. Yet, his true genius lies not just in what he created but in how he thought. Tesla dared to dream beyond the limits of his era, to challenge the status quo, and to take steps others feared. It is in those steps, the ones most of us are afraid to take, that he found the key to the universe. To think like Tesla means embracing risk, failure, and the unknown—all the things that stop most of us in our tracks. But what if, instead of waiting for a breakthrough, you recognized that the key to success already lies in front of you, hidden in the steps you’re afraid to take? Tesla’s Journey from Humble Beginnings Tesla wasn’t born into wealth or privilege. He grew up in what is now Croatia in the mid-1800s, a time when the world was still largely agrarian, and electricity was barely understood. His father was a priest, and his mother, though not formally educated, was an ingenious woman who invented household appliances to help manage their family farm. From an early age, Tesla exhibited an extraordinary imagination and a passion for solving problems. When he moved to the United States in 1884, Tesla didn’t arrive as a celebrated genius. In fact, one of his first jobs was working for the famous inventor Thomas Edison, who was already well-known for inventing the light bulb. Tesla improved Edison’s electrical generators, making them far more efficient, but when it came time for Edison to pay Tesla the promised $50,000 bonus, Edison brushed it off as a joke. This moment—an intersection of betrayal and opportunity—marked a critical turning point in Tesla’s life.
