RING-A-DING-DING: Time to grow the fuck up and stop being a petulant child.

How?

Well, here are 37 suggestions, give or take a few (mostly give).

1) GTFU & stop identifying with your children.

Yes, they carry your genes (unless your wife becucked you), but you will maim them by trying to live vicariously through them.

Let them be who they will.

2) GTFU & stop stuffing yourself with “comfort food”.

Or get ever more sluglike.

Who cares.

3) GTFU & cut the cord. Cancel that shitty expensive cable TV subscription. You can get everything on demand off the Internet anyway, including live sports.

Which doesn’t mean you should. Speaking of which –

4) GTFU & stop identifying with some sports team as an excuse for being a failure in your own life.

You’re not a $10mn/y player unless you're a $10mn/y player. Limit spectator stuff to going to the game itself. Put at least SOME skin in the game.

5) GTFU & cancel your newspaper subscriptions too. You're wasting your life – and likely destroying your marriage and family – by dumping time on other people’s irrelevant and ignorant opinions and on imaginary bullshit that doesn’t affect you anyway.

6) GTFU & stop listening to people who tell you how to live your life.

You can learn from others’ experience on HOW to do things. But you’re the only one to who can decide WHICH things are worth doing to You. Decide or decide to be a loser for life.

7) GTFU & move out of your parents’ basement – whatever that takes.

I mean: Seriously?

8) GTFU & don't apologize like an ignorant pleb.

If you did something out of character, rectify it. – If you didn’t, move on along and leave the lo-awarenes mass behind.

9) GTFU & stop dressing like a child, a hobo, a whore or some mix thereof (yes, absolutely including men in this – especially men). There's nothing original about it.

Join in on Patreon & get the book on basic style for free when it drops.

10) GTFU & stop buying bottled water on a trivial basis.

Invest $100 in a good filtration system and stop squandering money, rekking the environment and feeding metastatic corporations.

It's not rocket science, I promise.

11) GTFU & don't worship books. That sort of pathetic signaling does little more than reveal you as an ignorant pleb.

Most books are complete bullshit and a total waste of time. Find out what very, very successful people recommend – and never read political garbage literature.

12) GTFU & understand that you aren’t special just because you draw breath – an ability which you could lose momentarily.

13) GTFU & start preparing your own food. If you can’t fry some eggs in butter, you’re not a functioning human being.

14) GTFU & stop believing corporate-funded quackademic pseudoscience. If you think eggs and butter are bad for you, you proly don’t have a functioning brain.

15) GTFU & understand that no-one cares about your feelings. Not even people who tell you so daily. Even people who say they love you proly don’t care how you feel – because they never learnt HOW.

16) GTFU & take care of your hair. Unless you’re Mick Jagger or Winona Ryder, hobo hair doesn’t make you look cool.

17) GTFU & stop being reactive – to yourself and others. Have a plan about who you want to be and act like that person regardless of conditions.

18) GTFU & go see the world. No, spring break on Ibiza or the Florida Keys ain't "seeing the world". Go where the real people are, live with them, eat and drink with them.

19) GTFU & understand that you can’t build a personal brand without skills and experience. If you have none, go do and learn. Make a brand out of the journey.

Hint: If it don’t hurt, it won’t have much value to monetize.

20) GTFU & recognize tha humility is the mark of the sage. Life has a way of curing the arrogance of youth. Proly better if you did that yourself.

21) GTFU & expect that the brilliant idea you just had people smarter than you proly had thousands of years ago. Research before getting carried away.

And while we’re on the subject – if it really IS brilliant, most people won’t get it and will think you’re insane or an idiot.

22) GTFU & invest in learning how to do things with your hands – writing, riding, sewing, sowing, cleaning, washing etc. Manual agility is the fastlane to mental agility. And that’s where the Power is.

23) GTFU & stop condescending to people who don’t have 13 university degrees. I’m proly much more educated & well-read than you, and I tell you: most academics are credentialed idiots and most educated people would be better off not wasting time & money cramming harmful bullshit.

24) GTFU & stop believing everything you read.

25) GTFU & understand that corporations and governments aren't people and you shouldn’t treat them as such – unless you’re a masochist.

*But their employees ARE people, and you can turn their lives into a living hell with just a little bit of imagination.

26) GTFU & stop caring about other people’s opinions.

While you’re at it, stop caring about your opinions too. Unless it’s something you’re doing, it’s proly irrelevant anyway.

And if you’re doing it, it’s not an opinion – it’s a fact of life that you make manifest.

27) GTFU & learn some manners. A lot of manners.

Manners maketh man. And woman.

28) GTFU & keep your mouth shut unless you’re talking or eating. No-one likes a mouth-breather. It makes you look retarded, seriously. Have some self-awareness.

29) GTFU & don’t talk unless you have something to say. Stop trying to make other people and yourself comfortable by spewing bullshit every living second. Be present together for once – or leave.

30) GTFU & stop caring about celebrities.

Again: SERIOUSLY?!?

Your life has gone to shit thrice and you still fixate on some celebrity couple that’s even more miserable than you are. How pathetic is that exactly?

31) GTFU & understand that if you spend more than half an hour a day talking on the phone and don’t make money out of it, you have a serious problem. A very serious MENTAL problem.

32) GTFU & start a business or seven – then twak about free markets, free trade and free whatever.

(Hint: Ther ain’t no free.)

33) GTFU & realize that your tribal identity doesn’t make you special. It makes you tribal.

Baaa! Baaa! Baaa?

34) GTFU & stop smoking pot day in and day out. It ain't cool, it ain't rebel and it doesn’t make you anything other than lazy & weke.

There's the right time to party hard, to heal hard and to work hard. Which one do you think should take up the moast of YOUR time?

35) GTFU & accept that people don’t give a flying fuck about what you’re proud of. If they do, it’s because they want to know where to hit you so it hurts.

36) GTFU & stop buying into brainless pop-culture escapist bullshit like love at first sight, knights in shining armor and other modern fairy tales.

Nothing of value comes without hard work, and until you ded. NOTHING.

Even winning the lottery millions usually turns to shit.

37) GTFU & the spine to say NO. Bigly. Or better yet – learn to walk by.

Most people aren’t even marginally better than zombies. They will harm you with their very presence. More than by just wasting your time.

Remove garbage.

38) GTFU & understand that having kids to save your marriage, escape your shitty job or avoid facing the mediocrity of your life isn’t admirable. It’s degenerate, disgusting and depraved. Do us all a favor and GROW UP FIRST.

39) GTFU & stop wasting money on crap you don't need, especially brand & status trinkets. Save your money and run fast & far from people who tell you not to worry about it.

You will thank me later – it's not necessary, but you will want to.

40) GTFU & understand that the more I like you and the more I value you, the harder I will work to find ways to trigger you and challenge you. Especially about what I just told you yesterday.

If you're looking for a support group or a pat on the back, this ain't it.

41) GTFU & get on the email list because it's time you discovered your Mind.

Massive content rolling in.

Don't be left behind with the lo-awarenes crowd.
