I've found that anyone can fix their life, no matter how far gone it seems.

Except for 1 type of person.

If you have a combination of traits that I call "The Scumbag Trifecta", then you are lost and will sink to the bottom of humanity.

What are those traits?

1) No self-awareness

I can tell you that you're wrong and acting stupid until I'm blue in the face and you're blue in the ears from listening...

But if you don't know that you're doing something stupid until you deal with the consequences, you're gonna hurt for a long time.

2) Laziness

Humans prefer to do things the easy way. This is fine some of the time, but eventually, you gotta do more than the minimum.

If this is you, you're gonna hurt for a long time because life doesn't get easier unless you get better.

And that means doing hard shit.

3) You think you know it all

Some people treat constructive criticism like background noise. Or worse, they view it as an outright attack.

Therefore, you can never get through to them to help them realize the error of their ways.

As a result, they hurt for a *very* long time.

By themselves, these are annoying personality flaws, but not a death sentence.

Even if you have 2 of the 3, there's still hope.

But if you have all 3, you're done. You will do dumb shit, be too lazy to fix your mistakes, and be too ignorant to listen to anyone who knows better.

Hopefully, this isn't you.

If it is, sign up for my newsletter so that you can get right.

Even if you don't have these problems, you should still sign up. Maybe you can help someone else.
