You should remember at all times that this is your ONE and ONLY life. You don't get anymore shots left.
If you're born short, there won't be a time where you're born tall. If you're an ethnic minority there won't be a time where you're born white. If you're poor now, there won't be a time where you're born rich. If you're young now there won't be another time where you'll be young again. If you're born in a poor country, there won't be a time where you're born in a rich country. Stop letting your mind play tricks on you. This is all you got. If you're born with all these disadvantages this is your only fucking shot. No more.
If you spend your time caring only what others think of you; If you burn all your time orbiting women who don't give you the time of day; If you squander all your time lazing around, not lifting, oversleeping and not approaching, then you will die having done ONLY that. You will never get a fucking chance to rewind. This isn't a game where you get second lives. You will never be this young again.
If you spend your life focused on your disadvantages like being poor, short, a minority, being dumb, having a disability, being shy, having a fucked up childhood or any other obstacle then reality check: This is your only fucking chance to get whatever you want. If you don't take it, you will rest in the cold ground all the same.
This is why we were born mortal. Because we are mortal, we are free. Because we got one shot, we make this the best fucking shot we can give. Fuck the limitations. You fucking chase your goals.
I don't know how many years I have left I'm going to get real weird with it.
Frank Raynolds is a TRP goldmine
I'm gonna make that whore my wife
I'd say that a cuck who raised two of Chad's bastards is far from a TRP goldmine.
But he bailed on the 3rd. He has a dgaf attitude. Who am I kidding hes not a RP poster child, Frank is in a category all his own.
I picture Frank saying that whilst drawing his handgun from its mysterious hiding place.
Don't drive in your rear view mirror.
“This is your life, and it’s ending one minute at a time”
Delete your Facebook, end the excessive masturbation, stop shopping for new clothes, and stop
texting girls all fucking day on your phone. You should be hunting wild game or digging huge
trenches to bury your enemies in, you shouldn’t be spending your time chasing skirt or looking at your
friends’ facebook pictures. Stop stalking halfass HB7s, stop playing world of warcraft, and stop
watching porn for theatrical purposes.
Everyone’s always complaining about how life gets harder as you grow up. That’s because these people
SPEND their time. As they get older, they run out of more and more time. Successful people INVEST
their time. Life should get easier as you get older, not harder. Why do some people have “everything”
while others have nothing? Because spending vs investing time is a habit and there’s no gray area – 95%
of our population have a habit of SPENDING time and only 5% INVEST their time; hence you have a
huge concentration of talent, fortune, and success in a very small portion of our population.
“In life, you will either live your own dreams, or someoneelse’s dream.” Choose, or someone else will
make the decision for you.
“Warning: If you are reading this then this warning is for you. Every word you read of this
useless fine print is another second of your life. Don’t you have other things to do? Is your
life so empty that you honestly can’t think of a better way to spend these moments? Or are
you so impressed with authority that you give respect and credence to all that claim it? Do
you read everything you’re supposed to read? Do you think every thing you’re supposed to
think? Buy what you’re told to want? Get out of your apartment. Meet a member of the
opposite sex. Stop the excessive shopping and masturbation. Quit your job. Start a fight.
Prove you’re alive. If you don’t claim your humanity you will become a statistic. You have
been warned”
That was formatted weirdly, but great post.
He was attempting to write like the character Tyler Durden by Chuck Palahniuk in the book Fight Club
Presumably copy paste from a source that had word wrap in those locations.
All I have to say is thank god I found TRP
Im in an elite position academically, for that I had to sacrifice a social life. I no longer have any doubts that I'm making the right decision. I will be successful because I am willing to give up more than other men are willing to give up.
Just note that while it's important to invest time into things like academics, that doesn't give you an excuse to not be social. You don't have to get wasted every night and stay up until 4am at the clubs, but you do have to understand the benefits of networking and social influence.
The best scientist in the world won't get very far if he doesn't have anyone who can support his research or publish his work.
I fucking love fight club. It contains such amounts of great philosophic advice for men like us who want to achieve more in their lives.
Ps - im not a native speaker
we buy things we dont need with money we dont have to impress people we dont like
I love investing my time reading so I can generate new ideas and what not. Is this a waste of time?
I've come to learn that if it increases your "skill stack" (skills available that you can use at some point to better your life/achieve goals), improves you in real ways, or gives you ideas you can implement in real life, then it's not a waste.
I quit reading things that are purely for intertainment - that's time I burned up without really gaining anything.
I read (typically, sometimes paperbacks too) Kindle self-improvement books by succesful men or similar. Along with things here and at other helpful websites.
Invest time reading real life shit instead of wasting it on novels.
I'm pretty sure I stole this from some user on TRP.
So that's 5 week strategy. Or do you accomplish all that in a week.
I imagine you could just repeat that every month.
Shameless Plug.

Ok. Well whats the best way to start a fight? (I'm good at getting beat up, ive just never started one)
Knock a bible out of a priest's hand, and soak it with a garden hose. Scene from the movie >-)
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry because tomorrow we're going to die? This mindset is deceptively destructive and self-gratuitous.
Without a strong sense of uplifting values we as flawed humans tend to gravitate to empty habits to fill a void witin us. A void that can only be satisfied by the pursuit of Truth and consistent upright behavior.
That's not what the post said at all.
The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning. It's to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense and eventually, you'll be dead.
This my friend, is a lie. The Universe is a reflection of transcendent Harmony from the movement of celestial bodies to the motion of atoms. Those who are under the influence of falsehood who disalign themselves of ethical thought find themselves enthralled in states of persistent chaos. All is Love. It is we as individuals who chose whether or not to align with it's influence.
What an esoteric Mumbo-Wumbo, jeesh.
You're free to believe as you wish. We were designed to be free moral agents. THE Reality is self-evident for those who draw close to IT'S influence by means of their deed and depth of true undestanding.
Upvote for the Bojack reference.
What is the [definition or referent of the term] Truth?
Where is the line / how do you tell the difference between upright behavior which will have a good result and upright behavior which comes from an attachment to right and good?
Edit: clarification
The Absolute Reality and Source of the Highest Consciousness from wence everything in existence stems from. The problem facing Humanity is that instead of abiding by the framework set by the Original Source of Consciousness we were deceived into believing that we can govern and control ourselves independent of IT'S influence.
The underlying spirit in which the behaviors were committed. If one is under the influence of Truth upright behaviors will stem. If one is under the influence of deception chaos in mind, emotion, and deed will stem forth. It's either one or the other. There's no middle ground between vice and Virtue.
Okay, so, what exists in reality?
What can you see from the level of the Consciousness you refer to?
What framework do you mean? I'm looking for the exactly correct teaching itself.
Do you believe in evolution?
Okay, interesting. But how do you confirm what is completely true? Can you confirm the degree of precision with which you can make confirmations about what exists in the world of the Truth?
Reality is the underlying essence of all existence. By aligning with the Highest Consciousness one can see that all of Humanity is in a state of mental bondage by way of deception. By taking in an adequate knowledge of The Truth one can be liberated from the influence of false perception and moral degradation. Experiencing life as we were meant to as opposed to the destructive, disjointed, lawless chaos we're bearing witness to today.
Ancient alchemists attempted to transmute gold from lead and failed miserably. A species can't suddenly become another species.
Overtime individual species may develop adaptations in relation to certain environmental factors like light pigmentation in darker climates and dark pigmentation in bright ones but a duck doesn't suddenly become a jaguar over time. A duck is a duck.
By the manifestation of IT'S presence. Truth is self evident and absolute. Eveything that varies in degree in reference to the Truth stems from falsehood and delusion.
So do you mean to say that in reality the Consciousness determines the operations of everything in the world? For example Christians sometimes use the term, "the author of a life".
Yes, I agree. The reason is that they have their own origins of life. In order to change into another species they have to abandon their existing self and change problems. Would you agree with that?
That may be completely true, but it doesn't prove you know what the Truth is or how much of what you can see is in Truth. Don't you think it's important for your truthfulness to know?
What you may be missing is that those small adaptations get magnified over immense amounts of time. Descent with modification from common ancestors is reality.
This is motivating and a nice reminder
Motivates to hedonistic. Not much time left!
Good shit I like to live by the " If I died today what would I think of my life" perspective . Sure i've done some things but for all those things I've never tried, experienced, explored, or had that I truly want one day I need to start finding ways to achieve and experience those things . When I die I'd like to say I lived a life and enjoyed experiences that made me proud . The less regrets I have the better I sleep each night when met with the prospect that Today could be my last day and you get to revisit that idea and create more goals and decide on more experiences to enjoy the next day .
Life is a gift as long as your heart is beating you owe yourself to enjoy that gift .

Reminds me of this scene from collateral
This is fantastic. But, also covers why the mainstream will never accept red pill. They take existentialism the wrong way. Then, kill the messenger.
Fucking idiots, can never properly apply laws of power.
Never give a million dollars to a normal person. They will spend it all within a year. Lamborghini, house, bs expenses. They already fucked up.
Million dollars for a person with millionaire dollar mindset becomes billions.
Live life like a game of poker. You do the best you can with the cards you're dealt, complaining to the dealer isn't gonna do shit.
This is why I think Religion is so dangerous. (most) Religions teach us that there is a afterlife, reincarnation or otherwise second chance. This causes us to devalue our only life. IMHO Religion is a corner stone of the blue pill conditioning and brainwashing.
Motivation is one thing, but what if there is nothing valuable to do for someone in your position, your age, your skillset?
Just doing something for the sake of doing it, isn't time wisely invested.
There is only so much time you can spend lifting. How useful is working 40-50h weeks if you can earn the same amount with 10h/weekly. Or if you only have access to dead end jobs.
Don't just say do it. Tell me, what to do.
I needed to hear this, a lot.
“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
Actually, nobody knows for certain what happens after you die.
I know I won't be needing to take action or persevere. This brigs me great relief.
I agree with the Carpe Diem shit, but do we really have to take it in a YOLO direction?
We can all learn from this.

I generally agree with what youre driving at. It's curious that women's solipsism and extreme self interest makes it seem like their actions are full of confidence and certainty until they face their own mortality; they then become very afraid.
Meanwhile I've seen timid guys, guys never having put their foot down in any arena in their lives swell with bravery in front of imminent death. Interesting phenomena
I think if you told me this is just one of many lives it would be more inspirational and motivational. I wouldn´t be so worried and risk more in life, because if I fuck up I would always have another chance.
I'm gonna get my kicks in before the whole shithouse goes up in flames, all right..
The future's uncertain, and the end is always near.
I just had this thought as I was walking to class. Trp must be setting in.
This is a bit more poignant for me. I was blessed with ridiculous top one percent genetic advantages. This by itself did little for me except create a dissonance with how I felt about myself. I was raised bp by divorcee mother of four. Breaking the deeply inset binds on normal male behavior is royally difficult. People in my life kept telling me I was special. My life was telling me I was shit.
I have a different perspective now. I am special. I am one of a kind, similar to a snowflake. Yet I am simply a man like any other. It is on me to recognize where I have the individual advantage over other men. I am recognizing these differences as important now. Kind of leverage.
Yes, and even if you believe in an after life or reincarnation, the post is true for this life. If your current life is so bad, and you believe in reincarnation, then you should probably kill yourself.
I've always considered that there are three possibilities for existence:
We die and that's it forever - most likely We die and there's a religious heaven - least likely in my opinion We die and consciousness continues in some form like out of body experiences/near-death experiences etc.
Even if we do survive death and there is a heaven or alternate realm, you will never be you as you are now, with your quirks, talents, likes and wants. When your heart stops, all that is you ends no matter what happens after.
So why not spend the 80 or so years you have to be fucking awesome and pursue what you want to be and what you want to achieve with every fibre of your being. There is NO excuse for complacency. There is no room for concession. Especially not after you've become aware of the red. Do it and do it now.
great perspective first of all, it came to me, the idea of this post sort of just last night. and as a christian what am I to look forward to?
and reading post how christianity has become so bluepill even within the church, preaching basically bend over backwords for your wife.
not the point, but I began to think about how some people get seriously involved in the church and that's great if you want to help people but some people revolve theirwhole life around going sunday and wenesday and people they've met in church and so on.
Just for what? so they can have a "garunteed" ticket to heaven?
I don't go to church all the time or considor myslef a perfect christian, but I want to live this live to the greatest, I hope I can do good for people in the future but I won't base my life around it for some afterlife ticket or risk my life preaching in some country where christianity is illegal like a dumbass, I value my life alot.
if someone wants to do that then great, maybe you die and think "I know I am surely going to heaven spreading the word of god"
but I value my human life more, I have my beliefs and I'm not going to live my life waiting for the day to "go to the better place"
I hope all christians think about that sentence
lot of writing but sharing my thoughts on it as they came, we only get 1 human life
Matthew 10:39
"Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."
you can say a quote all you want, but there's a difference voluntarily going to a place knowing you'll die like a dumbass with no really no pros to convert people that don't give a shit.
over non christians forcing you to convert in a life or death situation and you do not.
Get your one sentence shit out of here, if that's all you have to say
"People that don't give a shit" included you and your people at some point. And/or you and your people only got Christianized because someone else made the decision to spread the gospel regardless of how hard they'd have it.
OR, we're just in one giant never ending chain of striving, and we are trapped like sisyphus to eternally run from pain and towards pleasure, and none of it really matters because the average experience of life must be, by definition, average.
Maybe the solution is meditate your life away on a mountain top and deny all appetites.
Or most likely, this whole line of reasoning is nonsense.
Or most likely what you decide to commit to fits conforms to certain psychological traits. It is utterly pointless to tell someone who wants inner peace and spend their life meditating to become a baller hollywood agent and another who wants to fuck a lot of chicks while making bank to seek inner peace in a Buddhist Wat.
The faulty line of reasoning is to impose the same outcome or behaviour on everyone while ignoring their individual wants.
Yes, thats my point.
Like I said, the whole line of reasoning is nonsense, I was just throwing that out there to show how easy it is to justify the reverse. People are going to do what they want regardless of whatever bullshit metaphysical justification you invent.
What would it be like to go to sleep and never wake up?
Good stuff and a good reminder for those with low self-esteem to go out there and get it.

You will never be this young again.
deleted What is this?
Since moving jobs, i drive past two cemeteries , two on the way, two back, so 20 times a week i am reminded of mortality, and see fields of gravestones as i trudge through slow moving traffic.
This has actually made a greater impact on me than even trp, the constant reminder that you will end up like them, and not to give a fuck what people, especially vapid bitches, think.

Delete every fcking instagram, snapchat and other time consuming shit off your phone. Start using hours on shit that matters, shit that makes you a better person. A day not doing something that makes you better is a fucking joke. Peace.
As a Hindu, I think you should speak for your self.
"If you are a minority there won't be a time when you are born white" ?!? Wtf did I just read?! OP...White is not the opposite of minotity dude! It's majority. Meaning most minorities are actually from places where they are in the ascendency. That point is moot.
Secondly, you might be shocked to find most minorities do not have a smidgen of desire to be white. Just to enjoy the same access. Slow your role Cecil Rhodes! Other than that some good points.
So what you're saying is:
YOLO
