If you ever lack drive to do the thing, Force yourself to remember exactly why You want to do the thing. Steep yourself in that feeling of desire. Let your lesser drives sublimate Into that unifying purpose of Will.

@MindOfUmair One of the biggest mistakes is listening to them even in adulthood.

@MindOfUmair We should be just as grateful for every loss as we are of every win.

@Unexpected_Win Sunday funday is a tradition worth maintaining.

@sheshn94 It’s actually kinda crazy how a single change of mindset can transform every aspect of your life.

@LiveWithSalazar Indeed.

@LiveWithSalazar So many people sell the end result. But the road to get there is the real gold. This is a wonderful place to start.

@sheshn94 Every struggle is a gift. Pain in the solvent of the soul, separating the worthy from the worthless. Love your struggle as the treasure it is.

@the_erik_doran If you’re not careful, you’ll hit the bedrock of reality…. 🪨⛏️

@IllesKovacs1 Pretty catchy ngl Though I’d hope your true goal is to live your own dream instead of theirs

@MindOfUmair This meme is actually real tho lol Can’t tell you how many times it’s played out like this in my own life already. Forget being cool. Forget being cringe. Just do the thing that gets results, because that’s the whole point of the game in the first place.

Without authority over your inner world, the outer world is completely beyond your control. As Confucius said, “To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.” Or, as a Canadian would say, “Clean your damn room.” Though I’m sure you’d like to phrase it a bit deeper than that. 😉

That’s the state of the vast majority of people. They deny responsibility for anything that happens in their lives, and in doing so they deny their own power. A man once said, “with great power comes great responsibility.” The truth is, power and responsibility are not just linked, but literally identical. The more you claim authority and responsibility over your life, the more power you have. Those who deny all responsibility, have no power at all. This is the difference between the sheep and lion, slave and master, üntermensch and übermensch. It’s not a black and white binary, but in practice it does trend to express as a bimodal distribution. I try to focus my energy on those in the latter category, or those who have the potential to become such.

It really depends on the situation imo. I think that complaining about problems for the sole purpose of emotional validation, aka dumping your shit on people, is generally a terrible idea. But there are rare occasions when it’s actually good. Chris Bumstead has publicly shared a personal story as a perfect example of what I’m talking about. It’s the job of men to solve problems, and so every problem a man faces is an opportunity to express his power, and thus it should be guarded like a sacred treasure. Needlessly sharing one’s struggles is a sign of not only weakness and cowardice, but also foolishness and shortsightedness. Of course, as well, you will be judged for your behavior, and such is the basis for certain decisions, but this is the lesser concern compared to how each of your actions affects your own strength. To the extent that others will judge, then I’ll say that women who love you and men in general will both respond well if and only if you share your pain while maintaining your frame and strength. Acting as if you are too feeble to overcome what’s before you will rightly earn nothing but pity and contempt, the worst possible reputations a man can have. With women who don’t love you, any word of struggle will make them feel this way. Ultimately, it’s not a black and white issue. There is no “alone or shared” dichotomy. Every relationship is different, and there are many ways to share your struggles, some of which are contemptible, while some are admirable. It just depends. And it’s not a matter of feelings. It’s a matter of power.

@TheDeadScholars I’ve heard vitamin K2 during development is also a factor in jaw size.

@sheshn94 It really is the only fight that matters. In some sense it’s the only fight that exists. If you win and pursue growth over comfort, the world is yours.

@MindOfUmair I think you’re on exactly the right track my friend.

Sometimes I get into a very critical mood. I doubt, I question, I dig, I find errors. And this is one of my greatest gifts. I used to point it out at the world. Then I pointed it ay myself. Now I point it at my ideas. I philosophize with a hammer. And I'm stronger for it.

@woofertester @ItIsHoeMath It’s the difference between “please buy from me” and “this is how my offer solves your problem.” Lead with an open hand, let them cling to you. Your clients will be much happier. And so will your women. And your friends.
