Why men are struggling

I found myself living in a rented room with rented furniture while renting out my time to the highest bidder. 

I had nothing.

Practically a ghost with a driver’s license. 

The only woman in my life was a waitress downtown who would give me a sympathy coffee from time to time. 

It’s painful when you’re doing everything you’re supposed to do…

And it just doesn’t work out. 

If this helps anyone out…

I’m not ashamed to admit I’d wake up to a wet pillow on my lowest nights. 

Something had to change. 

Otherwise I knew I would end up in the same place another year. 

This is what I resolved.

Taking full responsibility. 

“Success isn’t everything…” 

No sh*t dude. 

I know they mean well — but you’ll never realize how difficult it is to be average until you’ve opened your eyes. 

I’ve seen men lose everything while the world walks by.  

I’m sure you’ve seen it too. 

The truth is…

You must offer value to receive value. 

There’s no incentive for caring otherwise.  

So here’s the mindset switch — 

From now on, it’s YOUR duty to find success regardless of whatever obstacles cross your path. 

It’s may not be your fault for what occurs but take full responsibility anyways. 

Because when you create undeniable value in each area of your life…

Success is drawn to you. 

No more excuses. 

You’re more powerful than you think.

It’s just you. 

I’m not the same kid I was from last year.

Used to be readily available and offer my time like it didn’t expire. 

But no good deed goes unpunished. 

So I started to invest into myself instead…

And the skies parted. 

Get serious about your own life before you try saving the world.  

  • Make the gym your second home 
  • Dedicate yourself to financial freedom 
  • Do what they’re unwilling to do 

Life is a struggle otherwise. 

Sorry bro. 

As much as some will have you believe…

Qualities borne from scarcity thinking are never attractive. 

Nor are they logical. 

Be greater. 

Build yourself to the point where everyone thinks it’s magic. 

That’s it.

Determine your own place. 

Eventually the day comes where you’re sitting around the fireplace on Christmas Day…

Proud of your accomplishments.  

But only if you go out and see what’s possible. 

You can do it. 

There’s nothing ethereal that separates you from the man you want to be. 

It is simply a matter of learning and time allocation. 

What’s your alternative anyways? 

Let your struggles motivate you to close bad chapters and open new ones. 

Most men are slipping to self-doubt and complacency. 

But it doesn’t have to be that way. 

Go.
