Sup.
I much enjoy this forum. This is a forum where I meet men who are frankly smarter than me and who give some lifechanging advice to people, myself included.
One of the topics is to "stop action-faking", which is a very true, it has gotten me out of a rut and I resumed to take more action than I've ever done before.
Good.
A month has passed and it has been darker and darker every day. Every day I woke up, struggled against the voice, fought against mediocrity. But then each time failures hit, I was dropping. Lower and lower. I became angrier at myself. I felt like a loser who isn't destined for entrepreneurship.
And all of this while I have parents and frankly mediocre men around me, who make each fall steeper, who tell me I'm wrong. I've lost the sight, the feeling of where I want to go, and... Dread. Pain. To the point where you don't know what is right anymore and you fall deeper and deeper down the negative spiral.
But today someone has reminded me of a man who set me up on his journey - Hamza. True, his business advice (gosh) may be shit. True, sometimes he talks some such weird bs that you start to question whether he is sane anymore, but that man has reminded me that there are men in this world who we can aspire to, and keep going.
You might say that I'm still the man who has no business even though he was trying consistently for a year. True, I still have less than 300€ in my bank account. But I remember. Remember why and remember that not all is lost.
My point is - reading reminds that there is a thing to aspire to. When you listen to advice of stronger, wiser men (even though you sometimes don't need it), makes you stronger and wiser on some deep level.
We all need strong men in our lives. Don't take that away from people.
Best of luck,
