Life lesson 2: If you plan to get STRONG. Plan for it to HURT. I’m not taking injuries. But pain.

Don't shy away from building an audience before you're a true expert!!

Frame yourself as the intermediate who is hungry, learning and sharing the journey.

People will ask you questions. That's when you realize how far you've come and what you can offer the world.

Men don't realize how valuable their attention is.

If they did, 99% of IG models would disappear & thirst traps would evaporate.

There's SO MANY PEOPLE to learn from here on Steemit. Start using this platform to it's damn potential! It can LITERALLY change your life.

But nah...you wanna argue politics, thirst trap, troll, and all types of other bullshit. Instead of using social media, it uses you.

It’s crazy how some folks still complain about their president day in and day out since he got elected but have never did anything to improve their personal lives

What is the worst experience you have ever had with a bank?

Extra points if you name the bank 🙏🏽

I robbed a First National and they put those fuckin' exploding ink packets in the bills.
I couldn't get it out and I had to throw the whole outfit away.

You get stuck in a rut because you aren't patient, deliberate, and you've surrendered control.

You forget that:

-Bad things happen quickly, while good things tend to take a while.
-Big success is the result of many smaller success.
-Only you can change your life

1. Intelligent + Lazy
   Failure

2. Intelligent + Driven + Timid
   Mediocrity

3. Clever + Driven + Courageous
   Success

Few will Truly Understand + Appreciate this masterpiece

"Im a male feminist"=Sexual predator that hasn't been caught yet.

Change my mind.

Your actions speak so loudly that I can not hear a thing you say.

Growth is painful.
Change is painful.
Sacrifice is painful.

But nothing is more painful than being stuck in a place you don’t belong.

So make a commitment to yourself to move forward each and every day.

You don’t need to be the best tomorrow.

You just need to be better.

LMAO if the richest woman in the world gets her fortune through divorce

#bezos

Wonder how far you’d have to go down the men’s richest list to find the same

Waaay back childhood friends are potentially very dangerous

They may never truly embrace your growth

This can slow you down significantly when they instill guilt for changing

Old friends who embrace growth are to be cherished

#friends

People will feel threatened when they see your standards are higher than theirs.

Any attempt from them to pull you down is their admittance of that fact.

Be you, unapollogeticly.

Technology is good for the world but bad for testosterone.

This doesn't mean testosterone is bad for the world, but make no mistake about it:

The ONLY reason why "toxic masculinity" is now a thing is because technology has replaced almost all positive uses of masculinity.

Only in this world of technological ease could someone seriously believe that men and women are the same.

Think about how advanced we are to be able make AND argue that statement with a straight face.

If you live in a developed nation, your environment will not challenge you; therefore, you will not grow.

You need to challenge yourself. No number of internet debates or Netflix binges will do it for you.

At some point you gotta decide if you're gonna be the man or just watch someone else become the man.

For YEARS :

1. You refused to Exercise plus Ate Shit

2. Remained both ‘in’ & ‘out’ of that Toxic Relationship

3. KNOWINGLY abused your BEING with Drugs

Consistently you made Shit Choices to build your fucked Existence...

And now you want INSTANT Results.

God help you man.

Get a little freedom and you want more.

Autonomy is the best gateway drug there is.

If you want people to be real with you, you better develop some thick skin.

The problem with guys who say 'only 20% of guys get girls'

Have they tried going out and talking to 100 girls?

10 a day for 10 days?

Have they tracked stats, made notes of how the girls reacted, tried to improve their game?

Or have they just wanked over soy-osphere videos?

The most powerful "lifehack" I know is this:

Take responsibility for everything. Even for things that seem to "randomly" happen to you.

This changes your thinking and forces you to consider the extent and effect of EVERYTHING you do.

Yo, whatever happened to the migrant caravan?

#Staywoke

The problem with putting others before you is you’ve taught them that you come last.

Warren Buffet is not the best investor in the world.

Jeff Bezos's wife is

#1 productivity lesson I've learned:

Avoid people who drain you of time & energy like the plague.

Abundance mindset is a skill you must practice.

Don't believe the hype. It's not just a switch you turn on and start seeing everything in everything.

It takes work. It takes time. Don't feel discouraged when you occasionally slip into scarcity based thoughts.

Every day needs to begin focused and centered.

The best way to achieve this is to have a morning routine, and to remain fasted.

You'll be able to focus on yourself, rather than what the world wants from you.

Your brain will be sharper.

You'll be more productive.

Play stupid games.
Win stupid prizes.

People hate what they won't become far more than what they can't achieve.

make a beautiful life out of the ugly things you've been through, or make an ugly one. the choice is clear... to some of us.

Life can be a constant battle with:

-temptation
-urges
-emotion
-reaction
-impulsion
-feelings
-desire
-complacency
-instant gratification

Self-control is the ultimate freedom.

Every so often I stop and think to myself, "Imagine if you had just started getting your life right today."

It would be worth it and it'd be the right thing to do, but holy hell I'm grateful I got serious at 21.

We may disagree on specifics, but all success meets these two fundamental conditions:

1 )Freedom of choice in how one uses time without sacrificing/risking a baseline of abilities/amenities

1. Acquisition of desires without inflicting collateral damage

My two favorite sayings on leadership:

1. Your successes are yours, your failures are mine
2. In victory, lead from behind. In failure, lead from the front

Be kind, but don't be a pushover. The opposite of a bully is just as bad and uninspiring. Actually, it's worse.

No one likes weaklings or bullies, but even bullies manage to posse up.

How blissfully unaware do you have to be to ask someone to marry you and get told "no"?

If you don't know by the time you pop the question-regardless of what she says--the relationship isn't going to last long..

Asking should be a formality; not a gamble.

When I talk about writing, many dismiss it and automatically think of something like blogging

Not at all where writing’s borders end:

-Advertising
-Presentations
-Email marketing
-Superior communication skills
-Writing your book
-Freelancing/Ghostwriting
-Recording your story

You can't help who you are, but you can help how you express yourself.

Remember this whenever someone says "I'm just like that" to explain their shitty behavior.

My mom couldn't give me shit growing up, but she's happy I figured some things out

I bring her back a souvenir from every place I visit. She doesn't even care about the items so much as what they represent

That I get to see something bigger than a housing project or prison cell

"When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong."

• R. Buckminster Fuller

Type B: “Stop and smell the flowers.”

Type A: “THERE ARE NO FLOWERS, ONLY GOALS.”

Let’s pretend this is a safe space. Are there any foods you are embarrassed for other people to know you eat?

In campus, I used to love a Ritz crackers.
Now they are treat and NEVER in the amounts I could get away with before

If you plan to get STRONG. Plan for it to HURT.

I’m not taking injuries. But pain.

Learn to deal with it. To train through it. It’s part of it.

As my old school lifting mentor taught me “DON’T BE A FCKIN BTcH”

Not everyone will be an early-riser.
Not everyone will be a night-owl.

But anyone who wants to to be someone will have to pick one.

The sooner you figure out your type, the more efficient you can be.

Most people are Neither.
The Most of the Best are One or The Other.
I Wake Up Early and Stay Out Late.
Like a Leopard.
Most people do Not have The
Physical
Mental
Spiritual
Toughness to do something like this.
Nor do they Know The Secret to this

Make sure you have a non-destructive way to blow off steam. It doesn't have to be exercise, but it's a good idea if it's not boozing and drugs.

Either accept it or change it.

No use wasting energy comparing or getting jealous.

Negative thoughts are an indicator of ignorance.

A self-aware person would never hurt himself on purpose by lowering the quality of his brain.
