Our parents, society, and social media have all lied to us. We are not all destined for greatness. The truth is most of us will live a pretty mundane and average life. But, some will achieve something incredible. If you want to overcome average, bust your ass! Be willing to do what you need and stop blowing smoke up your ass, thinking that somebody will deliver you success by knocking on your door.
If you want anything incredible, you have to earn it. Life is not fair. But it is fair if you bust your ass and work. You will get out of life what you put into it, not just with money but also relationships. If you want deeper connections with people, you have to be willing to open yourself up and get vulnerable with them. If you ever want to achieve anything and live the best life possible, some harsh truths need to be learned. I’ll be going over some that are important but harsh.
The uncompromising facts of life you need to learn ASAP
- You were born average at most things, even though your mom and dad told you you were the best. Even though your parents told you that you’re incredible and can accomplish anything, that’s not the truth. Most of us were born average: 20% are high achievers (better than average), 20% are below average, and 60% were born in the middle. We’re average. The good news is that if we work and focus on ourselves, we can become better than our ‘average’ nature. Be willing to put in the time and work.
- Do not compare yourself to the 1% you see on social media. One of the biggest reasons men feel insecure and never truly feel successful is because they compare themselves to the 1%. You see the best of the best and the worst of the worst on social media. Basing your value or success on these extraordinary situations, circumstances, or people will never make you feel like you did well or accomplished anything — you didn’t live up to the arbitrarily high expectations based on extraordinary people. Life is not fair, and you better prepare yourself for that. Even if you feel entitled to something, it doesn’t mean you’ll get it. If you didn’t, ask yourself whether (a) it was fair that somebody got XYZ or (b) they were willing to do what you weren’t to get it.
- Respect is earned and not given. You need it if you don’t have it, and unfortunately, you’re never going to truly live an incredible life if you don’t. Part of that equation is looking good. I know it sounds vain, but you will not have the opportunities if you don’t look good. Part of self-esteem and self-respect is putting together a package you want the world to see. Taking pride in your appearance is a must and not optional or negotiable. In the first three seconds of the meeting, an opinion is solely based on your nonverbal communication. It doesn’t matter if you’re not smart or weren’t brought up in an affluent way; if you dress well, you’ll be respected and revered. If you dress like crap, have tattoos all over your body, and are pierced everywhere, don’t get upset when people do not hire, date, or trust you. And if you look like a savage, you need to up your grooming game. You need to smell incredible too. Check out Pete & Pedro’s Fragrance Bundle.
- You must engage in exercise and fitness. This was the best decision I ever made at 12 years old. It allowed me to build a strong and healthy body and mind. I was able to endure hardships and challenges because of exercise and fitness.
- Hardships and challenges are going to happen. You need to be mentally strong and endure the punches that life throws at you. You need to be able to overcome. If you’re mentally weak, you’re going to fold and crumble. You need to be able to move forward.
- You need to eliminate people who do not want the best for you. Toxic ass people in your life suck. Are they competitive with you or talk crap behind your back? Get them out of your life!
- Most people don’t care about you. We spend so much time worrying about what other people think and what they’ll say. The truth is they’re too preoccupied with their own life, doing their own stuff. They’re not worried about you. They’re not looking at you, and they’re not concerned with your workout at the gym.
- Stop obsessing about women. The manosphere is not a good thing. It’s wrong. Women are not the problem; men are not the problem. Men are not toxic, and women are not bitches or evil. Women want to be with a man that takes control and doesn’t allow life to bend them over. Do not allow life to give you the business because you’ll get sloppy seconds.
