Right now, some things sound more attractive than others.
It sounds good to eat pizza.
It sounds good to relax and not work on the business.
It sounds good to take the easy way out.
But then something always happens.
For the blind sheep they see no connection. But to the wise, they see it clearly.
Something happens where you are slapped in the face by your lack of preparation.
A beautiful girl who you hit it off with realizes you’re not the hot shot you presented yourself to be.
You have to take your shirt off in front of everyone.
And that’s when life gets real. That’s when you realized you were making a big mistake and right now it is all being paid for.
You see in life we don’t get away with anything. We just think we do for a short while.
99% of life we can bullshit through. Very rarely are the cards face up on the table and that’s why everyone’s full of shit.
If you are wise, you will live in those cards down, shirts off moments in your mind as you live your life.
If you have been burned by them they sting so clearly you will never forget.
You will not miss the opportunity again.
You remember how it feels to be called fat, or for that girl to leave, and you remember the sting. People are brutal. Life is brutal. Choice is brutal. We live in a world of euphemisms but the undercurrent is real, raw, and violently unforgiving.
Wise men know that the raw unforgiving undercurrent is reality. The 1% of the time when it’s exposed. Not the 99% bullshit euphemisms.
So wise men know that they must live in reality. Where the shirts are off and they’re looking at your belly, and the wallets are open and they’re looking at your bank account. Today might feel like nothings wrong but you know it’s all fake.
Cowards love the euphemisms. They hate the truth. They hate having to pay for their gluttony and their sloth.
Men who seek truth love reality and wish it was the default state. Where nobody got away with anything even for a moment.
Are you ready for the opportunity or are you living in bullshit euphemism land? Where it’s okay to be a lazy fatass and nobody judges. They judge every day they just don’t say it out loud as to not hurt your feelings.
Are you going to live life in reality?
Or just wait blindly until it forces itself upon you?
As many repetitions until it takes for you to finally understand…
That shirts going to come off again. The opportunity in business will come by again. Will you be ready?
