10 Brutal Truths Men Learn Too Late in Life
No.3 will sting
1) Your Mother is The Only One Who Will Love You Unconditionally
My Mother so bad at math when I asked for one bread she gave me 2
Not your partner. Not your wife. Not your girlfriend will ever have the same love your mother can give you.
You will realize love from a romantic partner and love from are not the same.
The first is conditional and the latter is unconditional.
Men who reject this truth are man-child. Adult in body but young in mind. Aka a "foolish man"
A mother's love is boundless. Many people seek love from other women and get played.
They disrespect their mother and love random women.
That's why men who have great mothers feel disappointed about life when they realize women are not like their mothers.
They don't realize their wife or girlfriend will not sacrifice herself like the way a Mother would to her children.
Men understand this: Your mother might nag you or get in your way—but at the end of the day—she is always on your side.
It's not she knows everything. She wants to help you even if her opinions are wrong.
That's why you should cherish your Mother. If you're a disrespectful little shit—you don't deserve love from anyone.
Yes she nags, yes she makes you sad. But no matter what—blood and family is always thicker.
2) Great Men Fall Because Of Lust
Samson was the strongest man in the bible yet because of his weakness for women—he fell for Delilah an agent sent by his enemies and got captured by Philistines because he revealed his secret.
Solomon had a vast amount of wealth and wisdom but because he married a lot of women outside his kingdom influencing him to worship other God's that led to his and kingdom's downfall.
David considered "a man after God's own heart," David's lust for Bathsheba led him to commit adultery and arrange for her husband, Uriah, to be killed in battle. These sins resulted in the death of their child, family turmoil, and national shame.
Following the little head under your pants and denying what the big head says—is a recipe for misery and problems.
Lust is a filter.
Once you stop seeing women with lust and see who and what they really are—you'll realize most of them are lame and it's their pretty faces carrying their whole personality.
I'm not saying all women are like this.
However the majority lacks control over lust. That's why porn companies make a ton of money.
Many men seek women not because of marriage or love. They want to f*ck.
And because most men can't control their desire to f*ck—they make irrational decisions that leads to problems and years of shame and difficulties.
3) Do Not Worship Random Women
The moment you make women your motivation—you're fucked.
Not only you are holding to a shaky vision and a unpredictable one—you are also going to suffer a lot
Outside of lust—another problem I see from men is worshipping women as if they are goddesses.
They are not.
I see men admiring a woman they like for years yet never making a move. I see men putting pictures of women in their wallets yet always pretending to be friends with them while having ulterior motives.
When you control lust and stop looking like a fool—you understand women are also humans.
Imperfect and faulty. Like man.
I've understood the reason men see women as goddesses is because of media.
We see women being glorified and worshipped. We see men taking care of them greatly in movies.
And in response—we copy what we see.
Don't get me wrong—this is completely fine especially if someone you take care of is your Wife or Mother.
But being interested in everyone woman you see is just stupid.
4) Laziness Will Kill Your Dreams Faster Than Your Mistakes
It’s better to have average intellect with great discipline than great intellect with average discipline —because discipline is what brings dreams to life, not intellect.
Laziness and procrastination are obvious dream killers, yet millions —even billions —of people still waste their potential by staying unproductive.
And despite knowing this truth, the majority continue making excuses, clinging to comfort instead of change.
Even so I know why.
People fail being seen as a failure. They want validation from people even if the said people are not important to their lives.
So even if they can learn from their mistakes—they avoid doing what is hard altogether.
Because shame is a strong emotion. And we feel shameful when we pursue our dreams but fail.
Then we see people who doubted us laugh at us—belittle our effort despite trying our bests.
That's why people stay lazy. And when we stay lazy we stay stuck. And when we stay stuck we stay the same.
Most men see failure as the enemy when it's clearly inaction.
If you struggle with laziness get Live Intentionally a 90-Day self-improvement program by Harsh Strongman. I've specifically used the tactics described in the e-book in the past to help me work 12 hours everyday. it has 10k sales and over 400+ 5 star ratings.
5) Hide Your Goals
Do not openly talk about what you want to achieve in life.
Discuss it with close friends and a few people you trust.
And even so—you still risk people messing up your plans and deliberately getting in your way.
Most people are envious and have uncontrollable amounts of jealousy.
Not only this will cause you problems—the emotions they influence you with—will affect the way you achieve your dreams.
If you believe everyone is your friend—you are foolish.
A lot of people do not care about you. They just pretend like they do so other people don't see them as someone who is cruel.
Many people do not think about you at all. It's just in your mind pretending you're important.
And because many people cannot take this truth bare—they continue trusting the wrong people in their lives that will later reveal they were never your friends because they liked you—but only because you were useful.
Sucks to know right?
Well it's life. At most you will only have 10 people you can truly trust—like someone you will call when you're in a life and death situation.
6) Life Isn't Kind

“How to summarize personal growth in a nutshell”
Just when you think problems are going to stop—they won't.
Just when you think you can finally take a nap and rest—you can't.
Just when the bills are finally paid another one comes.
Life is a jester. It mixes up our emotions a lot. Gives us problems in the worst situations and mess up good times often.
The key is perspective. No matter how hard life maybe is—you need to stick to a vision.
Something you can hang on when life feels hopeless.
You need an anchor. To someone greater than you and something worth chasing after.
People will claw you, your family will doubt you and your friends will leave you.
Life is a brutal game and you're one of the player. The only difference is the difficulty we get. Some have it easier and some have it harder.
Someone who is blind but has a rich family has it easier than someone who has complete sense but has cancer and will die young.
Someone who has a whole body yet immature have it better than someone who lacks an arm or a leg.
Life isn't fair. And that's the truth many people often forget. Some are very luck and some are hardworking.
You just got to learn the dance and play the rules. Then you'll understand how it works.
7) Friends Are Not Better Than Your Family
"Have some integrity, strangers don't care about you, it's your family that's going to save you when you mess up".
Men mistake drinking alcohol and dancing in clubs with other men as brotherhood and neglect their families. Never realizing your family is the one who will take care of your ass the moment you get into trouble.
Real brotherhood is rare. Most people who say they have a brotherhood are fake. We are friends with our friends because of the vices we have or we go to the same place.
But the moment we stop going to school, stop doing the addiction—most friendships will be gone.
Those who sacrifice their family for their friends will one day realize how wrong they were—when they see blood is indeed thicker than water.
No matter how many fights
No matter how much you mess up
No matter how much you've grown to hate each other
You will only have one family.
Most people who say they have a bad family are ignorant and spoiled. The ones who truly have a toxic family and is hurting everyday—are usually the ones who never talk about it.
I see men hating their mothers and fathers for the sake of their friends.
I see them acting out in passive aggressive behaviors towards their parents just because they can't hang out.
I see them hating their siblings yet loving their friends unconditionally.
I'm not saying you should never have friends. I'm saying your family is important too.
Friends are great. I know that— they are the ones you can really talk about what you really think.
However neglecting your family will only cause you misery.
8) Money Is Not Evil
Money is a need in the modern world.
Without money—you will barely survive.
You need money for:
Clothes
Food
Shelter
Security
The hate of rich is just a way to keep most people poor.
If you believe getting rich is bad—then continue being miserable.
I talked about this in the letter: Why You Should Aim To Get Financial Freedom
9) Validation Is Useless
As a man your only goal should be to consciously improve yourself.
Most attention and validation people get is from the wrong audience.
That's why—when you see someone go viral overnight—they will also stop being in the spotlight overnight.
That's because they were found with the wrong audience.
The people whose opinion you should care about are those who are going to lift and improve your life.
Like a mentor or someone who is an expert in your field.
What random people say about you doesn't matter. You will get affected and influence but you must learn to not take things personally.
You must be able to smile while being pissed off. You must be able to continue being calm while having a crash out.
The greatest skill you can learn in the modern world where most people are increasingly becoming toxic and aggressive—is to learn how "how not to take things personally"
10) Looks Matter
The phrase: "Looks doesn't matter and it's all about personality" is BS.
Look around you—what type of men do women date?
That's right.
Attractive men.
Men who got muscular physique. Sharp eyes. Sharp jaws. And confident as fuck.
I'm not saying it's the end of the world if you consider yourself unattractive.
Men who get considered attractive are usually metered in 3 categories:
Fashion sense
Grooming
Hygiene
If you have a 10/10 face and you stink—you will automatically become a 2/10.
Not to mention—physique—bodyfat and the way you carry yourself are also all parts of the hidden categories most people don't see when they tell someone is attractive.
Changing the way you look is possible you just need to understand how: Hairstyle, bodyfat and accessories are all parts of tools you can use to increase your attractiveness.
Though of course this is for another topic.
The better you look—the better people will treat you.
Because you are being treated better—your life quality will get better. The better your life quality—the better your happiness.
That's why people who are considered ugly are usually toxic and aggressive. The world has treated them badly and instead of using it as fuel to get better—they use the same treatment they've got from other people who've never harmed them.
Or usually they are too hurt and too angry that the way they speak and talk is irritating or straight up repulsive.
As a result the world gets worse.
In any case—looks without confidence in a man is repulsive. Confidence in a man with average looks is magnetic.
That's all for today.
