Go rural. Dig. Plant. Grow. Create a garden. Raise poultry and livestock for your nourishment. Nature is cleansing to the soul.

Think of the internet as a buffet. Most people skip the meat and go straight for the dessert bar (social media) where they spend countless hours vainly arguing with people in the comments section, watching porn and/or gaming. The net result being a body made of jello, doomerism and a constant supply of SSRIs. The meat section contains all the good stuff: how to get fit, resulting in weight loss and greater self confidence, options for self employment from the people who have become successful actually doing it, and tips on how to improve your life through a healthy marriage/ family life. The only way to become more than what you are is by doing hard things. For example: set goals for your exercise of choice. Run a 5k, 10k or better yet, run a marathon or an ultra. Bench press your own body weight. Always set a progressive program of advancement. Efficiency is the enemy of achievement. Always be uncomfortable and uncertain. In terms of employment, there are too many people looking for a career and not enough people providing a career for themselves and other people. Speaking personally, I’ve discovered a lot more room at the top than at the bottom. There’s always a better you waiting to be discovered. Not easy at all but worth it.
