Hey Brother,
Here’s a simple yet valuable piece of advice.
I’m not here to act like someone who never faces problems or struggles.
I've had my own share of negative thoughts on how things "are so over" at times.
I’ve dealt with death, both my own and those close to me, and I’ve had moments where it felt like everything was falling apart.
But if I can share one thing from all of this, it’s this:
As a man in this world - your world - you’re here to face challenges and deal with difficulties you didn’t ask for.
You might struggle and see others seemingly succeed with ease.
You’ll have to fight with both tears and a smile, only to sometimes see others enjoy the rewards you’ve been striving for.
The key is never to complain about your shortcomings.
True power comes from facing internal battles and telling yourself, "That’s okay, I’m going to make it happen anyway."
Don’t dwell on things like your race, height, genetic traits, or any other factors you might use to explain why you’re struggling.
The real victory comes from perseverance, not just from reaching the goal.
Life may be tough, but it’s also full of unexpected rewards.
A man who complains is just waiting to be judged.
Don’t accept that behavior.
If you catch yourself complaining, let it pass and then shake it off.
Feel what you need to feel - anger, sadness, tears - then pick yourself up.
Give yourself a hard mental slap if you have to, and remind yourself that you’ll succeed one way or another.
If you’re still standing, you’re still in the game.
You’ll find that many of your insecurities and doubts were either self-imposed or influenced by others who also complain.
You’re not defined by those studies or surveys.
You think differently, suffer differently, and move forward differently.
Forget about those negative thoughts and get up, try again and again.
It gets easier, but you can’t afford to have a complaining mindset.
It’s the worst trait a man can have, worse even than disloyalty because complaining is a form of disloyalty to yourself!
