If you’re in your 20s, someday you’ll be 37 like me. So read this. I just turned 37. In my twenties, I thought my life would be over at this point lol. Ironically, I’m in the best shape, mental state, wealthier than I could of ever imagined, healthiest, and imo most attractive I’ve ever been in my life (before you roll your eyes, I was gross in my 20s… not hard lol). I literally have everything I ever wanted. Including a wonderful wife. But only because I sacrificed. No one I know personally growing up went to the extremes I did to learn about health, self-development, social skills (which I had zero of). No one tried as hard or as long as me to get rich. I’m not saying look at me, I’m special. I’m saying I sacrificed a lot, took a lot of risk, and was very uncomfortable all the time. And what I’m trying to convey to you is that the sacrifices you’re taking or considering taking are 500x worth it. You should sacrifice more actually, and do it with glee. Go live in a $500-a-month apartment in Thailand and burn everything at the altar of your character arc. I literally wish I had just done that at 20, trained Muay Thai and BJJ, and built harder. Big life regrets. Anyways. People (losers) will tell you you’re being crazy and missing out. Stop being money-focused. Stop trying, being so vain. Live a little. They are wrong. Really fucking wrong. So unbelievably wrong that I would literally jump off a bridge if I had to switch lives with them and suffer the consequences of their life of no sacrifice. You are missing zero. You will regret zero. Proudly go psycho monk mode and become as great as you can be. You won’t regret missing getting drunk at the same bar 500 times with people you don’t even talk to at 40. You won’t regret missing the pointless dating. You won’t regret taking risk and failing. You will deeeeeply regret at my age not sacrificing. You will start to see the decade of choices deeply and permanently in your and other men’s—you knows—lives. And you will see this post is the truth. After your twenties, the lifestyle, women, and all that shit you want will figure itself out and just come to you. Hell, it’ll probably come to you in your early 20s and try to distract you because you’re building up so much power. Keep sacrificing. It’s all completely worth it, and you’ll realize it’s actually the most fun part. I work and sacrifice more now than I ever did… because it’s awesome pursuing the best possible potential for yourself personally. Anyways, eat the shit. Skip everything. Picture your perfect character arc and light everything else on fire to get it. And when you are at an age in the future that seems terrifying now, you will actually be enjoying the best times of your life. Move fast, young man. You will be an old man who’s about to become an even older man soon.
