Today, I'm going to share some tweets
Talk about masculine role models
And help some of you level up your mindset
Hope you're ready
Without further ado...I present
Principles That Will Make You Great - The Thread
⬇️⬇️
And talk about how a lack of good male role models is destroying the next generation
This thread is around 40 tweets so if you don't have time to read it
I recommend bookmarking it and coming back to it later
My Story
My dad left when I was around 4 years old
Not only was I fatherless but I didn't have many good masculine role models while growing up and certainly no true father figure
- Depression
- Obesity
- Porn Addiction
- Masturbation Addiction
- Video Game Addiction
- Attempted Suicide
- And a bunch more stemming from these things
Honestly, I'm quite content with who I am now but it took a long time to get here
Not only did it create pain but I had to learn how to overcome each of these things
In doing so I learned that many of these can be avoided by living a virtuous life guided by certain principles
I won't say all of it has to do with a lack of masculinity
But it's certainly one of the primary contributors
Boys need good men to look up to and learn from
If that wasn't enough we also have people defending this shit as perfectly healthy
It's a disgrace and when people say our ancestors would be rolling in their graves
They are 100% correct
We literally don't talk about the growing incel and extended adolescence issue
We have people claiming that masturbating every single day is healthy
People claiming E-Prostitution is totally fine because "Equality"
Nobody is going to do it for you, we must be the leaders that society has decided it no longer needs or cares about
Live a life of Principle & Virtue
And strive to be better than average
If you can internalize these you will accomplish unimaginable feats
If you haven't opened up a notepad yet, now's the time.
This thread could change your life
Lots of people cave to their weakness' for companionship and compromise their standards for an easy lay or to avoid loneliness
DO NOT BE THIS PERSON
Hold yourself to an ELITE level of excellence that includes the people around you
QUALITY PEOPLE ONLY
Set your core values and do not compromise them
EVER
Live this way and you will one day find yourself in the company of heroes
Principle - Maintain the highest of standards for your circle
Each one of these is your companion on the way to being successful and if you want to be a great man then you need to not only embrace these things
YOU NEED TO SEEK THEM OUT
Principle - Become comfortable being uncomfortable
This is a short thread and it's FUCKING GOLD
It has a few great concepts but the main one I want to talk about is mandatory-action
Don't waste your time dreaming
Identify what you need to do, and go fucking do it
So what stops them from doing it?
AVOIDING ACTION
It's actually that simple
999/1000 times, taking action is the determining factor in being successful
GO DO SHIT
Principle - Taking action is mandatory
This one touches back on the earlier point about your circle but I want to focus specifically on the ruthless response to betrayal
This is not something you can fuck around with if someone betrays you they are not worth having around
Throw them the fuck out of your life and move on
Betrayal is the ultimate sin and forgiving it is just you showcasing that you have ZERO self-respect
Principle - Never commit or forgive betrayal it is only done by the lowest of scum
Is every relationship going to be perfect? No
Is every girl you date going to be the one? Again, No
But to treat women as just a number and not give due respect to each experience is not healthy and in fact, it's honestly disrespectful
Probably at least a few times
Treat each of these experiences with the weight it deserves as a unique part of life
Principle - Each woman you lay with isn't just a number they're a unique part of your story, respect that
When you decide that something is important to you and you've decided that you want to accomplish it
There will be pain involved
The key is to learn from this pain, let the experience of pain be your greatest teacher
Experiencing pain is also what grants you access to experiencing joy, you can't have one without the other
Principle - Pain is a necessary part of life and when you experience pain, remember to look for the lessons and learn from it
This is one of the most important tweets on the list
It's important to be multi-disciplinary when improving yourself
If you only focus on one thing about yourself you may get ahead initially but in the longterm it's detrimental
You can only go so far developing one single piece of yourself
Strive for greatness in multiple areas of life
Principle - Develop all facets of your character or as @ellobosalvaje would say "TRAIN EVERYTHING"
This one takes a little bit of unpacking but it's really good
Bragging, Arguing, Complaining, Nastiness, Gossip
All products of unquietness
You don't have to be totally silent but most people could benefit a lot from shutting up more
Don't waste breath unnecessarily or discuss things that you don't need to
This one is extremely challenging and something that takes a good amount of work
Principle - Talk less, listen and observe more
Here's a secret
Everyone who is successful...
Has made big mistakes and failed many times
They've fucked up and failed more times than almost anyone else
But you know what that's given them? The ability to keep going
You need to fail
You need to make decisions that slap you in the fucking face and teach you that there are consequences
Principle -Do not be afraid to make some mistakes early in life, and when you experience the consequences? Learn from them!
Nobody likes the person who is late all the time
Actually let's be honest most people actively dislike that person
Showing respect for the most valuable resource every single person has is a sign of good character
Not only will people like you more but they will respect you more as well
Because being on time shows respect for both your time and theirs
Principle - Respect your own time, and respect the time of others
This one is pretty straightforward but it's still important to know
Life is not about the destination it's about the journey
Don't think that the destination will magically make you happy
It won't
Because it's truly all you've got
Always be learning something new and seeking to improve yourself
Principle - Happiness is found in the journey and there is no finish line.
This is a hard pill to swallow for lots of people
But that doesn't make it untrue
Most people who are "lucky" are people who worked their ass off and were provided opportunities based on that work
No, the universe definitely does have some chance involved
With that being said it's less than you'd actually think
You absolutely have the ability to create your own luck
Principle - Luck is something you can create
Here is the truth, If you think the world is actively against you
Then you are self-centered as self-centered can get
If you died right now, in this exact second it wouldn't even register
The planet would just keep spinning
Not for everyone else but for yourself
Let this knowledge make you strong and let it set you free
Principle - The world isn't against you, in fact, it's the total opposite it literally doesn't give a fuck about you

If you made it this far and took notes you should have some principles that if you embody
Will literally change your life and shape your destiny
This was easily the longest thread I've ever written
So I hope you took something from it
None of this would be possible without your support so I want you to know that I do truly appreciate you
Please don't forget to retweet the original tweet as it does make a serious difference
Stay Hungry. Stay Blessed.
