MANIFESTO
Manifesto, a document publicly declaring the position or program of its issuer. A manifesto advances a set of ideas, opinions, or views, but it can also lay out a plan of action. While it can address any topic, it most often concerns art, literature, or politics. Manifestos are generally written in the name of a group sharing a common perspective, ideology, or purpose rather than in the name of a single individual.
Manifestos often mark the adoption of a new vision, approach, program, or genre. They criticize a present state of affairs but also announce its passing, proclaiming the advent of a new movement or even of a new era. In this sense, manifestos combine a sometimes violent societal critique with an inaugural and inspirational declaration of change. Although manifestos can claim to speak for the majority, they are often authored by a nonconformist minority and are linked to the idea of an avant-garde that signals or even leads the way to the future.
Among many notable literary and artistic manifestos are Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s “Futurist Manifesto” (1909); “A Slap in the Face of Public Taste” (1912), by David Davidovich Burlyuk and others; and André Breton’s “Manifesto of Surrealism” (1924). Several manifestos have played an important role in the history of social movements and political ideas. Famous political manifestos include Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’s The Communist Manifesto (1848) and the “Port Huron Statement” (1962) of the Students for a Democratic Society.

SOCIAL SELF VS ESSENTIAL SELF
Alex Heynes dives into the idea where we make decisions based on our social self or essential self. Social self is based on social influences, external expectations, others’ decisions, familial obligations, or whatever is the easier and safer route- it’s based on fear. Essential self is based on what you innately feel an affinity towards, your inspiration, simple pleasures, passions, interests, and curiosity despite whatever challenges and hardships required to strive for these joys- it’s based on love and excitement. My mantra has always been to know thyself, and to thine own self be true. And in this regard, in order to not feel lost in life you need to listen to your essential self, not your social self. Follow your inner North Star, your true self, follow your gut, follow your highest excitement, follow your bliss. Spend time in solitude and silence, away from all external influences, to be better attuned to what your essential self really wants.

HUMAN STRUGGLE
“You have to struggle. The bigger the struggle, the bigger the peace.”
“Biography is very valuable because you can see the mindset of the person who got it done and how they came over the same insecurities and pitfalls. Just the human story about struggle.”
“Look at your body, look at your temple. Look at your meat vehicle.”
“And then you realize there are no shortcuts. And you learn to embrace that no-shortcut mentality and enjoy the suffering and the grind of it. And there’s no finish line.”
“You gotta hang out with the people you want to be like the most.”
“People will definitely drag you down. Especially if you’re around someone who makes a lot of excuses and is always failing, they’re the opposite of inspiration. The people you’re around can suck the life out of you. Sometimes you just gotta be alone to get your shit in.”
