1. Crazy doesn’t know they’re crazy, and stupid doesn’t know they’re stupid.

2. Your shit stinks. Just like everyone else’s.

3. It’s okay to ask for help.

4. You are NOT broken.

5. Whatever it is, its been done before. Its been said before. Doesn’t mean that whatever you’re thinking or doing won’t work. Don’t try and reinvent the wheel.

6. You are bigger than you know. What you say and do matters. Everything matters. Which brings me to:

7. You are somebody’s role model. Whether you know it or not. Somebody is watching you and learning from you. What are you teaching them? On a paradoxical note:

8. Nobody is watching you. They are too caught up in their own bullshit. Don’t worry about fucking up or looking the fool, nobody is watching and nobody cares. Which segues right into:

9. Go big or go home. Be bold. Be brash. Be audacious. Be polarizing.

10. Don’t worry about the small shit. Everything is the small shit. The shit you worry about will probably never happen, and the shit that does happen, you wasn’t worrying or thinking about in the first place.

11. Handle your shit. Nobody is going to do it for you.

12. However your life is at this moment, whether you like it or not, it’s your fault.

13. Persistence is key. In everything. Yes, EVERYTHING.

14. Your ignorance is your fault. There’s a ton of information out there these days that is totally accessible by you. Literally it’s a keystroke away.

15. There are no participation trophies in the real world. Life doesn’t owe you shit.

16. You’ve heard this all before right? So why aren’t you using it and doing something with it?

17. Stop playing the victim card. Reality doesn’t care. There are no victims.

18. There are some great women out there. Most women though, are insufferable. Knowing the difference between the two is key. Learn to recognize both.

19. There’s nothing wrong with being an asshole.

20. If you are pissing people off, you are doing it right.

20 Thoughts on Life

1. Rule #1.STFU. Not everybody wants to hear what you are saying. Say less than needed. Don’t volunteer more than asked for.
2. There’s always someone bigger, better, and badder than you. You keep acting the fool, and one day someone WILL show up and kick your ass.
3. If you’re a man, you have to prove yourself. Showing up and expecting something for nothing isn’t going to happen. You have to earn your keep. Which leads to:
4. Stop being a bitch. You know what’s worse than listening to a woman cry and whine? A man crying and whining.
5. If you work for somebody else, you can either be a prick or a fuck up, but you can’t be both. If you are a fuck up, but you get along well with others, you can usually get a pass. If you are a prick, you better be bringing your A game. All the time, every time. Your shit had better be tight. Spotless and flawless. Perfect basically.
6. Do you want to be right? Or do you want to be happy? Usually the two don’t go hand in hand. Take your pick and then deal with it.
7. A husband that takes his wife’s last name isn’t a man. He’s soy.
8. Stop pedastalizing your women. They are just chicks. They do stupid shit too. Which brings me to the next point:
9. Stop walking around on eggshells around your women. Stop being afraid of pissing them off. What? Afraid you aren’t going to get that good, golden pussy? There’s other women, and pussy is pussy. It all feels the same physically when you are up inside them.
10. Being good at being a man isn’t the same thing as being a good man. One is amoral, the other is moral. When the shit hits the fan, it’s better to be good at being a man than being a good man. Morality is a luxury for the most part. When the perimeter is secure, then the moralizing can begin. (Jack Donovan)
11. Don’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. (Rollo Tomassi)
12. Give credit where credit is due.
13. Reality just IS. It doesn’t give a shit about what you think it “ought” to be.
14. Most people would rather hear pretty lies than the truth. Which brings me to the next point:
15. Everybody lies. Everyone. No exceptions. You may not lie to others, but somewhere at sometime, past, present, or the future, you either have or will lie to yourself. Don’t do that.
16. Happiness isn’t an end goal to be pursued. It’s a byproduct of you doing things. Stop chasing happiness as if it was a static state, it isn’t. It comes and goes.
17. Thoughts are just thoughts. Feelings are just feelings. Are you in control of them, or do they control you? Either way, the external world (i.e Reality) goes on just the same as before. See 13.
18. Stop giving a fuck so much. You only have so many fucks to give in this life, make them count, otherwise you’ll drive yourself, and everyone around you batshit crazy.
19. Men and women aren’t equal, they are complimentary to each other.
20. Don’t argue with idiots. You’ll only be wasting your breath and your time. You can’t fix crazy, and you can’t fix stupid.

Recommended Reading List

Rob Says2 Comments

I’ve been a voracious reader all of my life, and I’ve read pretty much every genre out there at some point. My favorite “genre” if you will, has been non-fiction and “self improvement.” Why do I put self improvement in quotes? Because there are a TON of books out there that are absolute time wasting trash at worst, and a scarce few of golden nuggets surrounded by filler and fluff at best.

However, I’ve found a few books that are truly worth the price and the time to read. I’ve created a Recommended Reading List that has those books on it. I have read each and every one of those books from cover to cover, and some of them I have read multiple times. A few of them, (The Rational Male series) I not only have read multiple times, but I also have them in multiple formats. Paperback, electronic, and audio versions. Yes, they are that good.

This list is by no means exhaustive, and I by no means claim to be an authority on what to read and that it will work for all readers all of the time. I’ve found that they have worked for me, and if you are anything like me, they will probably work for you too. I’ll continue to add to this list as time goes on and as I keep reading more literature out there. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to let me know. I’ll check it out and if I find value in it, I’ll add it to the list.

Each book is worth the read as a man, each book is worth the time. There is very little if any filler in each of them. They are all gold. Read them. Then read them again. Then give a copy of them to someone you know who could benefit from them. You just might save a life. I’m not kidding about this. I’m serious as cancer or a heart attack when I say this.

The life you save just might be someone you care deeply about, or it might be your own.
