In life there are some concrete truths… that have ALWAYS managed to stand… the test of time.
These are facts that the sooner are grasped by a man the sooner he can learn strategy to ‘combat’ them.
These truths are sometimes at best uncomfortable, but willfully ignoring them will only cause a man to experience much more greater hardship.
#6. Life Is Definitely 100% Not Fair
One of the biggest struggles that this generation is currently dealing with… is grasping the VERY SIMPLE Fact… that life is 100% definitely NOT fair.
Coddled to the point of harm, many people today live outright frustrated… at the disparity in incomes, social statuses and overall quality of life.
Understanding that life is definitely 100% NOT fair… and that’s simply just the way that it is…
Will allow you to STOP feeling sorry for yourself… and instead spend your energy on creating a REAL actual genuine strategy to get the life that YOU truly actually WANT.
We are all dealt a hand.
What you do with YOURS… is what literally makes ALL the difference.
#5. Everything Is Literally Impossible If You Don’t Ever Try
Want a guaranteed plan to stay average?
Don’t ever try.
Don’t attempt to ever get out of your comfort zone.
Don’t ever take any calculated risks.
Everything in life will be impossible… if YOU don’t ever try.
A fundamental difference between those who succeed and those who do not, is the successful see a challenge… while the unsuccessful only see’s NOTHING but an impossibility.
“If a man wants real success in this day and age literally NOTHING will stop him.
Nothing.
But it will take some work.
Work or simply be left behind.”
-Elijah “The Realist”
#4. If You Look To Women To Be Your EVERYTHING, Then You Will Have Absolutely NOTHING
Women are the accompaniment to a well-lived life.
Focus on your goals, be disciplined, and yes, enjoy the company of women, but don’t ever make a woman your whole ENTIRE life… or you’ll quickly lose yours.
#3. You’re The Average of Your Five Closest Friends
The famous quote from motivational speaker Jim Rohn is known by just about EVERYONE (unless you’ve been living in a cave)…
However, how many of you have made an active effort to clear the friendship benches of toxic people in your life?
The quality of people you surround yourself with, will either raise you to new heights, or drag you down into a pit of total absolute bullshit.
It’s your choice.
It always 100% is.
#2. Good Things Do NOT Come To Those Who Wait; It Comes Only To Those Who TAKE ACTION
The famous quote praising the virtue of waiting is about the biggest load of bullshit… reiterated by every generation after generation.
If you plan on waiting for your “lucky moment” to come so you can finally become successful, then you might as well simply accept defeat RIGHT NOW.
Good things come only to those who TAKE ACTION and make great things actually happen.
Don’t be a ‘waiter’.
Just simply be a god damn freaking doer.
#1. Just Because Someone Is Successful Doesn’t Mean They Are ALWAYS 100% Right
It’s easy to see someone who is successful and then automatically assume they must be always 100% right about EVERYTHING, however, people are people… and people are 100% fallible.
Daymond John (founder and creator of FUBU) turned down investing in UBER, as did Mark Cuban (because he thought the taxi cab red tape would be too much trouble).
Both mega successful men; both were STILL absolutely totally 100% wrong.
Consider the source, examine their track record and then make an educated decision.
You might just be on to something truly great… despite what ALL of the “successful people” are currently telling you.
Until next time.
Your man,
-Elijah “The Realist”
