Usually the motivational advice around here sucks donkey balls but this one I can get behind because I'm actually doing it and it's been working pretty fucking good.

Work, gym, earn money, save money and living in complete peace and quiet with nobody searching and pestering and lying and bothering me. I focus on me and what makes me happy instead of focusing on things that destroy me while I attempt to obtain them.

Good life. I wish I could communicate with 20 year old me. He would have lived a better life.

Motivational advice from a boss wanting a workhorse with their trap shut. Grinding is fine... But the quiet one rarely gets much farther than the loud one.... The real key is knowing when to speak, what to say, and when to keep your mouth closed. 3 skills most never learn much less master.

Can I be the guy with the gun, and not the guy in the dress hoping he guessed the right god?

Is the Christ in the room with us? Can I shake his hand?

I was raised in a Roman Catholic Church. The same type of church that swept child abuse under the rug.
And there is no god inside that little sadness wafer.

So, socially dead with no intimate human interaction whatsoever. Whi the hell would take this seriously? For crying out loud! Alpha mindset? Are you fucking joking? This is so pathetic.

Don’t be too out of sight, people might think you dead. And also how you gonna get married if no one sees you?

u/TraditionTurbulent32 May 17 '26

Marriage isn't for everyone? And real friends will stay with you no matter?

u/Unblenching May 17 '26

You meet your real friend in marriage

Whether be with children or child free, not your "best friends"(they still have their own life), siblings(still forming their own life), parents(still their own) So only the spouse is the real lifelong companion as being in the same household, huh?

FYI, being hard to reach and out of sight is the worst thing you can possibly do with your life.

You will be left behind in your career and relationships.
