>traits that determine your value as a man
nah
it's not what you are
it's what you do
you don't get to pick the cards that are dealt...
...but you do get to decide how to play them
>b-but i'm ugly
success isn't reserved for the beautiful
>b-but it's easier for them
in some ways, yes
nothing is stopping you from outworking them, though
people with natural abilities and talents tend to get lazy
a hard-working underdog that understands the value of the struggle will almost always trump the lazy but gifted champion because that champion never had to put in real work to earn his title
>b-b-but superior g-genetics
100% cope
we all have the same stuff
what matters is what drives you
what matters is your will to act
so many people on this board look at themselves and say "no, i can't" because they are demoralized and mentally weak
they are too accepting of someone else's reality, like the reality that the OP is manufacturing
when you look at yourself and ask "well, what if i can do it?" then you put your own will to power back in the driver's seat and start living for you
there are plenty of ugly, short motherfuckers with cash money and bitches
do you think they gave a fuck about the type of shit that OP posted?
no
>b-but not everything is a meritocracy
100% correct
you will get fucked in many ways by life
the question that you have to ask yourself, though, is "can i become the absolute best version of myself and outwork the competition in spite of the shitty hand that i got dealt?"
if you hesitated when answering that question, then you need to make your mind stronger
the answer to that question should be an unequivocal "YES!"
spending hours in the gym throwing up plates to make your biceps hard is pointless when your mind is as soft and malleable as putty
exercise your will
go beyond
don't accept other people trying to limit you when you haven't even begun to reach your own limits
you are so capable of great things
