Thread: It’s exhausting working to be above average brahs

Some days like today make me think

Eating certain foods and working my body out hard every day so I can look great. All for what? Yes I love it and the benefits are great, but it’s so much easier to eat whatever I want and not work out. Everyday filling myself with dopamine and pleasure. Not a bad life

Putting in extra hours at work, studying psychology and sales and working on my confidence outside work to earn more. Saving instead of spending and spending time working on my side business. Early hours instead of sleeping in.

Sometimes I wonder, what’s the point in trying to be better?

But then again, I think of the alternative and if I lived a life knowing I’m not reaching for my potential, and that would be miserable

On an existential level, there is no desire other than my longing for absolute power, knowing I've extended the capacity of my abilities beyond natural means and exerted it long past exhaustion

Fuark I like the way you worded this. Repped

Nah i actually get what you mean 100%

A few years ago i was obsessed with self improvemnet, no fap, IQ maxxing, studying reading... i was just better and above the average person (not being condsecending it was true)

but honestly, i felt lonely and miserable a lot.. and thought what's the point?

Then i met my gf (who was a total degenerate) and she was just so happy and positive and uncaring it made me stop caring so much about "self improvement" and care more about just being happy/positive and just living life.

As a wise man once said - self improvement is masturbation.

You gotta pick your battles. You don't want this to turn into an ocd thing & make yourself miserable for the sake of it.

As long as you get reward for effort it’s worth it. I haven’t so I don’t bother much anymore

Its hard to be above average when democrats are doing everything in their power to make below average people lives easier and above average peoples lives harder

It would be a shame if a man didn't spend his life living up to the potential of what he can be. The pursuit alone is purpose.

When I was younger a coach of mine said something that left a pretty big impact on me. It was in high school and he knew how much potential I had, but despite how hard a worked in a lot of ways, I was childish in others not pursuing to be better. Basically instead of prepping on game day he caught me eating pizza, pop, and candy at lunch. Things like that.

After kind of yelling at me, he said "Do you know what the difference is between a man and a boy? A boy does what he WANTS to do, and a man does what he HAS to do."

Left a pretty big impact on me at that age. Kind of made me think more about my decisions and demand more of myself. No point of doing something or pursuing to be better unless you actually follow through and put the work in.

Dang this thread + intense cardio made me realize something huge


My main goal in life is just to continue to strive and reach for my potential

It’s never been a money goal or girlfriend goal or physique goal. There’s never been a “goal”, it’s just the process of improvement that fires me up

Sounds like you are a phaggot.
