Excuses prevent men from achieving success and control over one's life

The dominance hierarchy requires competency, strength, and confidence. Men acquire these by placing themselves in optimal positions both mentally and physically.

The way we carry ourselves is a direct reflection of how the world sees and treats us. If we refuse to respect ourselves then why would we expect the world to respect us.

To stand strong with shoulders back as Jordan Peterson expresses, is crucial in placing ourselves in a state of confidence. We begin to see ourselves as somebody with esteem and so maybe the world will too.

An emotionally strong man is indifferent. He's not cold, but he knows that both good and bad things shall pass. He regulates his emotions.

A masculine man carries himself with composure and emotional intelligence. He feels the bad and good for what they are, temporary.

A good man knows the importance of a stoic mindset, one not a slave to emotions or feelings. His fulfillment is not dependent upon the temporary.

People don't owe you shit. Respect is earned. People respect value, they are attracted to what is interesting.

Are we boring, if so it is reflected in all our relationships. People scroll through social media because they find people interesting. Set yourself apart by becoming interesting and therefore valuable

We need to discipline so that we don't become lazy fat slaves to culture. Discipline puts in the work so that we achieve the life everybody else wants.

Discipline is made easier by removing distractions from your life. Put down your phone, turn off your notifications. Quit watching TV, do not buy junk food.

Next we have to have clear and concise goals, where you going, why, how you getting there and what does it look like along the way and when you get there?

There is a price to be paid when men chooses comfort and that is the loss of his freedom. We feel stuck, trapped and lost when we exchange sovereignty. Man was not created to be a slave.

Your identity is not in what you have but who you are, and if your stuck in comfort, you're possessed by fear. The ability to overcome these obstacles is what man is. Virile, strong, overcoming.

We can't breathe because we choose to suffocate ourselves in comfort and easy.

We confirm our bias by constantly seeking the same information. If the only women we see are the ones on social media seeking validation, then of course we will only see horrible women.

Bad news sells, the news doesn't report the good because people are not interested in that.

We like to make ourselves feel comfortable knowing that other people suck worse than us. It's time to get off our ass go set some standards and surround ourselves with like minded people.

It's time to quit looking for cheap motivation. We have to get our ass in the game called life. This game requires being prepared for the worst and the best.

Nietzche talks about the Ubermensch, a man that loves both the hard and the severe because it separates him from the average.

The more prepared we are for all outcomes, the better equipped we are to manage all areas of life.

There's a difference between having something and being something. Materialism does not equate to value. Now don't get me wrong, things are nice, but being a badass with character and integrity is far more valuable.

Who are you and what makes you, YOU. We think a new pair of shoes or a new car makes us happy, that's a lie. Corporations would have you believe you need their new shiny distraction.

But this doesn't bring fullfilment or success. These material objects are merely a crutch. Life is too damn short to be walking with limp. Know your worth and start living life in freedom.

Today's culture lowers the bar of want it means to be healthy. They lower the standard so that everybody feels included. But this inclusive does more damage than good.

Self image is the key to confidence and attempting new things. But when we lower the bar so that laziness is advocated we see a weak generation.

The premise of men is to be strong. We are competing and should raise the bar so that we compete to become better, stronger, healthier and more capable.
