As a man

People don’t respect you at the bottom

They ignore you in the middle

And they hate you at the top.

You’ll never have everyone’s approval.

Focus on what's best for you.

No one cares.

Detachment doesn't mean you don't own anything.

It means that nothing owns you.

A decade only feels like a lot of time when you have no plan and no fucking idea what you’re doing.

If you’re truly on a quest, you know that even a decade is nothing.

Blink and it’s 2034.

You have no time to waste.

Life is short.

Once you understand this everything changes.

If they say “you’ve changed” just remember it really means “you’ve grown.”

You can’t get confident by just reading/watching videos, you have to go out there in the field and practice.

Do what makes you feel less confident.

It is better to be a man of action than a man of thought. Get shit done.

Too much circulation makes the price go down:

The more you are seen and heard from, the more common you appear.

You must learn when to leave.

Create value through scarcity.

The best way to make a leap toward a better life is to force yourself into a place you don’t belong.

You can get scared and run away or grow until you belong.

What the fuck are you afraid of?

Death?
We’re all gonna die.

Bankruptcy?
You can make it all back.

Shame?
Everyone will forget in a week.

What the fuck are you afraid of?

There is nothing to fear.

Learn to stay calm.

Your anger is someone else’s victory.

Some people want to see you fail.

Disappoint them.

Nice guys are scary ppl.

Being nice ruins the world.

It makes men lash out on friends, erupt in anger, & get angry w/ women.

If you want to be respected.

You need to be disagreeable.
Opinionated.
Strong.
Out-spoken.

and honest.

Destroy the niceness in you.

If they don’t respect you, Don’t engage with them.

If they don’t value time, Don’t waste yours on them.

If they don’t pursue growth, Don’t stagnate with them.

Set aside 1 hour a day for the 2 most important people in your life:

1) You
2) The person you want to become

You can't fill anyone else's cup if you don't have anything to pour.

People will mirror the respect you have for yourself.

Set high standards for yourself.

Get in shape, speak positively about yourself, maintain a firm handshake, take up space, and communicate loudly and clearly.

People who spend their time judging others tend to struggle with anxiety, because they think the rest of the world is constantly judging them too.

You want better mental health, focus on a meaningful, challenging goal, you will understand that no one else cares about you either.

If you're lost, the answer is education.

If you're educated, the answer is execution.

If you're executing, the answer is persistence.

If you're persisting, the answer is experimentation.

Depression comes from: "No Options, No Action".

Anxiety comes from: "Too Many Options, No Action".

Cure to Both: "Action".
