When you will be judged, envied, and found guilty of being an individual, embrace the hate! Here’s what I mean!
Embrace the hate. Thrive on your individuality
When you decide to stand up for yourself and define yourself as a man with boundaries and dignity, the shallow world will reach a verdict. Empty souls, shackled to delusions of victimhood and promises of selling out their dignity for success, will find you guilty of being a fanatical individual.
Some people will point their fingers at you for not embracing the commercialism fed to them through trends and advertisements. On top of this, they will also criticise your failure to buy into the brain-sucking nonsense marathon shoved down their throats on shallow apps and addicting programs.
Once you start speaking your mind freely, friend, expect people to accuse you of the most appalling conspiracy: the conspiracy to educate and incite people of all ages to rise against the professional liars, to think for themselves, and to take control of their own lives.
If you find yourself in this position, I dare you to have the strength of character to stand your ground and hold your path.
Never bend to the pressure of the masses.
Look around and take note of the products and promises, the commerce and compromise, the haves and have-nots, the predators and the victims. The world seems to be a grim place. In many ways, it is. Yet, often hope seems but a silent dream that never seems to die.
And yet, you still dare to dream… Never blame yourself for needing to believe in something or needing to become something more than your sad circumstances might allow. Do not blame yourself any more than you could blame a child wishing on a Christmas present or a dying star.
And as you wish for a better world, a better future, a better you, as you struggle to become more, as you reach higher than those that came before you, be alert, friend. For haters will attack you from all directions, so stay vigilant.
NEVER COLLAPSE TO THE FALSE PROMISES OF PLEASURE.
You must not give in to temptation. You must not fall for the eternal trap of buying hope. You must be strong enough to not buy a promise or believe in cheap lies. Moreover, in a world that shines on every screen and a time of constant temptation and delusion, remind yourself that what appears to be a path to the stars is really a trail to nothing. The elements needed to build a foundation in life are always tough and rugged. As a man, you have known that for a long time.
Do not let your vision be tricked or clouded by images of false rewards and shortcuts that promise elevation without effort.
People will whisper in your ear to buy a program promising to equip you to conquer the world instantly. They will tell you to forget about the painful teaching experiences that living through challenges produces. Furthermore, they will try to make you forget that life itself is your teacher, not some neatly packaged quick solution.
Some will lure you into thinking that buying expensive cars will transform you into a superstar hero surrounded by worthy and beautiful people. They will persuade you to forget that truly beautiful people would never flock to a shallow image.
YOU WILL NEVER CHEAT LIFE
Be careful, friend, to not purchase a dream. Be careful not to cheat life and all it can teach you. You may believe lies as much as you want. You may compromise yourself if you think it’s best. You may deal with the currency of nonsense in circulation if it excites you, but you can never cheat life.
Every man is born in debt, every man owes, and every man eventually pays. That is the way of life. Goals and dreams won’t fall into your grasp without hard work. Houses aren’t built out of paper. Relationships aren’t kept with cheap illusions. You cannot realise dreams without strife and hustle.
Fall in love with your Struggles
Grow to love your chains, friend. Embrace the hate. You need your confinements. Embrace the hate. You need struggles to be able to feast. Also, you should expect people to hate you for your words, your individuality, and your beliefs. People always hate you when you tell them the truth about who they are, the truth that they are too afraid to face.
Dare to face being hated without letting it affect you. Dare to use that as a reminder that you are alive, not a victim, not a slave bound to an impulse, a temptation, a master for your existence. And most importantly, dare to not buy into any of the cheap nonsense you are being fed everywhere.
Dare to live your life on your own terms. Dare to break free from a fate shaped by your circumstances and dare to create your own destiny.
Will you be strong enough to forge your own path in life or will you crumble under the pressure of the world?
The choice is yours to make!
