The saddest archetype I observe is the comfortably numb 27-year-old guy with a “stable” job making around $150k per year. He probably wears a no-date submariner and lives in a respectable apartment. He looks forward to his 7 pm Chipotle burrito accompanied by the new show he’s binging on the couch after work. Every day is the same, and it’ll stay that way until he has enough in his 401k to retire or he implodes and drops everything – whichever happens first. Eventually, one of his “work buddies” will introduce him to a girl he deems good enough. She’s not everything he dreamed of, but he’s almost 30 and feels the societal pressure to put a ring on it. He gets angry when he sees younger dudes on social media driving supercars and finds a way to invalidate their success. “That’s a scam,” he tells himself so he can comfortably ignore the possibility that life could’ve been more than looking forward to the weekend and football season. To his bubble of naivety, he returns. He’s miserable but not miserable enough to actually change anything. It’s a life of good enough. An existence that consists of negotiating down dreams that were once possible until he started to give in to the comfort that comes with predictability. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it. He’s not doing anything harmful, and maybe he finds enjoyment in the monotony. I can’t hate on a path I didn’t choose, but I never felt like it was for me.

you aren't lost. you've just developed the habit of waiting for permission, and now you constantly want to be told what to do. you ignore the voice in your head that knows the answer until it's echoed by someone else.

The trajectory of your life is determined by your ability to block out the voice in your head that seduces you into idleness.

no amount of money can buy the feeling of being obsessed with a craft. the rush you get when running back to your computer to implement an idea. the sound of the ball bouncing on the hardwood in an empty gym. it’s a constant energy that comes with alignment to your purpose.

the girl you’re nervous to talk to is overthinking more than you are. the prospect you’re scared to pitch will hire someone with less experience than you. the content you deem too cringe to post can open doors you could’ve never imagined. get over yourself.

Life is beautiful. Do not miss it. Do not take it for granted. Do not tell yourself something is missing, as you will always find something to look for. The thing you are looking for is you.

quickest way to completely destroy your natural spirit is to convince yourself that analyzation makes you mentally superior. you second guess that feeling in your gut that knows when to let it fly. you hold in every joke or comment that could lead to real connection. you pass up the business opportunity and tell yourself it didn’t “feel right,” even though your true instincts told you yes. you talked yourself out of it. you’re expelling the authentic, carefree version of yourself and replacing it with a robotic calculated formula of who you think you should be. you’re not a “deep thinker,” you’re an idiot.

i asked a girl if she wanted to get drinks yesterday and she said no i followed up today with “hey i was overwhelmed with the amount of girls that asked me to go out last night. i have one spot left tonight. limited time only, you in? she still said no lesson in there

75 and sunny, top down, spotify shuffle randomly playing bangers from 2017. what a beautiful day.

she was great, i just wish i met her a dozen years and $100m later

your success is largely dependent on your ability to shut out the voice that tries to talk you out of action. there will always be reasons to go back to the drawing board. but it’s impossible to intellectualize your way to a goal. sometimes you just have to jump.

Life is actually incredibly fair. You get what you truly believe you are capable of receiving. But you can’t deceive the universe the way you can your own mind. There is no hiding or contorting the truth. If you don’t get what you want, you’re not unlucky, you’re undeserving.

you’re not free until you know that you could lose everything and get it all back

brute said the real utility of thinking is knowing what thoughts you shouldn’t listen to that’s a bar

ngl “based” girls who eats raw eggs and are super health conscious are such a turn off to me. first of all who taught you that? discipline is a masculine trait. give me the girl who’s diet consists of a cookie and piece of fruit. give in to your emotions. that’s feminine.

Yeah bro the best way to capitalize on the greatest technological advancement of our lifetime is definitely selling AI lead gen to dentists. See you at the Lambo dealership!

walking by the line at the coffee shop to grab your mobile order that’s already on the shelf is crazy aura

I woke up Saturday morning with a visceral urge to buy a 911. It’s been my dream car for as long as I can remember and luckily they were still running a black Friday sale (i got absolutely killed). Took a few days but got the deal done :)

I’ve generated over $700k from webinars for my clients in the last 3 months. I made a 1000 word doc outlining the process. RT and comment “GATEKEEPER” bc i’m not sending you shit lolololol

places to never take your girl: NBA games (watching other men compete) comedy show (laughing at another man’s jokes) nice restaurants (eating food prepared by other men) the bookstore (reading another man’s words) movies (i think you get it now)

shorty said a man should be making at least $100k by age 30 go scroll through the comments on this vid and you’ll see just how low the bar is for normies

Imagine as a man sitting at the dinner table with a beautiful woman and saying “hey baby i’ll be right back… i have to pee” are you 12? can you not control your bladder? she will be gone by the time you get back keep your “bathroom break”

yep just skip haircuts and one day you’ll wake up a millionaire

There are no fitness trainers anymore because they all started coaching fitness trainers on how to make money as a fitness trainers even though they never made any money as fitness trainers but they made a lot of money coaching fitness trainers.

A corvette C8 is not a supercar. It is plastic. It’s only acceptable to buy it as a sub 20 year old who doesn’t know any better. Or a 60+ year old who wants to experience a “supercar” but can’t afford a real one. In any other scenario you look like a tasteless child.

new apartment on the water. much more chill. i got tired of the constant sounds of engines revving and hippos blasting sexxy red. although she does have one song that’s a banger. i can’t hear any of the poors up here. turf and dumbbells are a nice touch. very peaceful.

just told a 4 she looked beautiful, is this what it feels like to donate to charity?
