The cost of inaction is usually much higher than the cost of making a wrong choice.

Weak father = Slutty daughter Dominating mother = Mama’s boy Narcissistic mother = Insecure son Absent father = Self-hating children Poor marriages = Unhappy Homes Unhappy home = Unhappy society Broken homes breed broken men, and broken men burn the world. Strong father = Confident daughter Feminine mother = Masculine son Loving parents = Secure children Healthy marriage = peaceful home Peaceful home = Strong society

How to kill DEPRESSION (like a man). 1. Drag your body into sunlight even when your mind refuses, Light is medicine disguised as weather. 2. Lift something heavy. Your brain shuts up when your muscles take over. 3. Cut the people who drain you, Loyalty to poison is not loyalty. 4. Fix your sleep like it's a sacred ritual not an optional hobby. 5. Eat real food. Your mind can't run on sugar and sadness. 6. Keep your space clean, Chaos on the outside fuels chaos inside. 7. Speak your pain to one person you trust. Silence is where depression grows teeth. 8. Move every day, Walk, run, crawl if you must. Stagnant men rot. 9. Build a mission even a small one, Depression hates men with direction. 10. Forgive yourself for being human. Strength isn't pretending you're invincible. It's fighting anyway. NOW GET UP N MOVE YOUR A$$.

Any partner can stand by you when times are great. But a real partner stays with you through your lowest moments and helps you become who you want to be without asking for anything in return except love, support, respect. It’s why people often describe their partner as their “rock” - because it anchors their lives.

Be careful with the idea that ‘everyone is replaceable.’ Some people are truly one of a kind. If you lose them, life won’t hand you another version—you don’t meet certain souls twice.

Positive spin: The level of shock and surprise generated by this Springbok performance is only possible because they’ve been so utterly awesome for so long. Horrible day at the office. Expensive lesson learned.

Not a bad place to run. If you are going to suffer, you may as well do it in nature.

The goal of everyday is to leave nothing in the tank. No love in the tank. No energy in the tank. No work in the tank. To go to sleep empty, with every ounce of potential squeezed out. Then wake up and do it again tomorrow.

Some of my best friends are decades older than me..life hack
Underappreciated advice: Get friends who are significantly older than you. There's no mimetic competition. Just decades of wisdom they love to share. This was normal for most of your ancestors.
