Wanted to make a post about that last tweet I made about turning down friends to go out drinking.

Had a friend I deeply respect on here reach out and had a good chat.

Made me realize a few things.
1) I should have said "No thanks" instead of getting all dramatic with the "I gotta disappear for 6 months" bullshit.

Was cringe af to be honest.

My ego got the best of me.

I'm not better than anyone for not wanting to drink.
2) I'm trying to share more personal stuff on here but posting that stuff is not the way to do it.

Still finding my balance.
3) Twitter is programming us more than we realize.

Even though the disappear for 6 months is practically a meme at this point, reading that stuff over and over still affects us.

Just a different form of affirmations.
4) You don't have to sacrifice your friends to pursue online business.

Those friends that messaged aren't close and I genuinely didn't want to go out. I just dealt with it wrong.

I still have my 2 close friends I hangout with.

But that's not clear from the context I posted.
The post was a mistake on my part and a good wake up call.

Shit on Twitter sounds sexy when there's no nuance but that's not the real world.

Don't make the same mistake as I did.

Always keep yourself in check.
Apologies for the fuck up.

Lesson learned and hope it prevents some of you from making the same mistake.

1. Learn a Skill

This is the biggest mistake.

Most people don't have any skills so they start a "Mindset & Motivation" account.

Problem is, you blend in with everyone else.

You also don't give many people a reason to follow you.

So what do you do if you have no skills?

Let's get into itπŸ‘‡

1. "Don't Buy $4 Coffees"

You're not paying $4 for a coffee.

β€’ Frees you from distraction

You'll make your money multiple times over because of this.

The coffee is just a bonus.

10 Reasons Why You Need To Buy a Plane Ticket and Disappear
At age 19 I was working 84 hour weeks

So I bought a backpack and booked a plane ticket to Asia

It was the best decision of my life

Here's why...

Society wants to trap you

You go to school to get a job you don't like

So you can buy things you don't need

To impress people that don't care

My father chose smoking crack over raising his sons.

I had to teach myself masculinity to overcome weakness and anxiety.

Here are 6 lessons I learned about becoming a man.

/THREAD/
If you grew up without a positive male role model, you have to find it through other means:

β€’ Books
β€’ Friends
β€’ Coaches
β€’ Podcasts
β€’ Accounts like @SaveYourSons and @pathtomanliness

Just because you're born without a father, doesn't mean you have to grow up without one.
@SaveYourSons @PathToManliness Having sex with a lot of women doesn't make you masculine.

It's a form of validation.

Men that are lost do this because they don't have a purpose.

Masculinity comes from defining your values and building a world that reflects them.
