If you're a man suffering from addiction Focus on 19 things, and become unrecognizable in 2024:
1. Go to the gym. Exercise and raise weights. You’ll feel better physically and mentally.
Become a ghost for 6 months:
Make everything your fault.
Find the beast within you.
Throw yourself into pain.
Cut out all the excuses.
Go all in on yourself.
Train like a warrior.
Work like a robot.
Eat like a king.
Reject vices.
Transform.
Upgrade.
Create.
Thrive.

1. Being physically attractive is a great way to get attention. Being mentally attractive is the only way to keep it.
Educate yourself, address your recurring toxic thoughts, deal with your insecurities, and learn to be happy alone.
3. Don't subscribe to other people's definition of "fun".
Fun doesn't mean:
• Drinking
• Partying
• Socializing
Fun can be a night alone, getting lost in a book, a deep conversation, a walk, creating art, playing music, or doing your work.
Fun is yours to define.
4. Before you get married discuss bills, parenting, what beliefs will be installed in your children, childhood traumas, sexual expectations, financial expectations, family health, career and education.
Love isn't enough.
Musashi Miyamoto wrote the Dokkōdō or The Way of Walking Alone.
It consisted of 21 rules to live life by.
The rules are strict yet honest and powerful:
Men need pain.
Men need defeat.
Men need solitude.
Men need struggle.
Men need suffering.
Men need obstacles.
Men need instability.
Men need loneliness.
Men need heartbreak.
Men need uncertainty.
Men need powerlessness.
You cannot master life by skipping steps.
2. Normalize saying "No" without needing to over-explain yourself.
If someone is offended by your boundaries, that's their problem.
The best weight you'll ever lose is the weight of other people's opinions of you.
5. The age of 15-30 is the golden era of your life.
You make friends and lose them too. You make mistakes, correct them too.
You fall, fail, learn, realize, you hit reality, you fall in love, and you get hurt too.
