1	Is it bad to be motivated by anger? Unpopular opinion from what I read, but no, it is not. In fact, motivation itself is a double edged sword. It can be good but also is bound to eventually fade, and then it will work against you. You can use anger or motivation in general to kick stuff off, as you've already done. But you will have to start to swift to finding an actual purpose, and changing motivation for discipline (the former comes and goes, the latter stays). And no, proving assholes wrong is not a purpose. I've been there an…	/r/TheRedPill	30/03/21 08:57 AM
1	Fake It Until You Make It Confidence needs to come from within, with you being actually content with your way of life. And to do so you have to both change stuff (like doing exercise, doing more fun stuff, or getting a better job) or change the way you think about stuff you do (so you are happy with certain habits or facts about your life). But do not lie to yourself or wear a disguise, this is worse than not getting pussy and will only make you unhappy in the long run...	/r/TheRedPill	19/12/20 12:31 PM
2	Don't be yourself. Definitely be yourself. Get good and get your life and purpose under control, and then you can be yourself. In the meantime, focus on getting your shit together, studying your philosophy and making your life purposeful, just, ethical, fun and exciting. Do not focus on faking, that will only make it worse. Not being yourself won't make up for actually being a piece of shit.	/r/TheRedPill	27/10/20 10:56 PM
1	You have a choice You always have a choice. Even in the extreme case of being asked for your wallet at gunpoint, you are making a (good) choice when handing your wallet to preserve your well being. But it's a choice nonetheless. Never ever use "I didn't have a choice" as an excuse for anything.	/r/TheRedPill	20/09/20 09:05 PM
1	The Two (D)immensional Formula For Success You also have to go for things that are not under your control, otherwise we wouldn't do anything at all. But do it always with no expectations and no irrational desire.	/r/TheRedPill	30/07/20 03:42 PM
5	The Two (D)immensional Formula For Success This can be good advice but with some clarification. As stoics clearly put it: only desire like crazy things that are completely under your own control. If you desire with your heart and soul things that are not in your own control, you are setting yourself up for severe disappointment. Some examples: - Desire with your heart and soul eating well, it ONLY depends on you. - Desire with your heart and soul exercising 5 days a week, it ONLY depends on you. - Desire with your heart and soul approach…	/r/TheRedPill	30/07/20 12:04 PM
12	How to build real confidence: If you can handle pain, you can handle anything. That could give you an illusion of confidence. Never rely on external opinions for confidence, or anything else for that matter. You become a slave of other people, they can take it away the very same way they gave it to you on the first place. Confidence needs to come from within, through experience and practice.	/r/TheRedPill	04/07/20 07:21 AM
4	Burying the need for a woman’s love at last I don't think you need to force any subject to come. If something bother you, it will eventually come by itself. I guess you just need to acknowledge it, and let it go. I've been meditating for only a month, and for me the idea of forcing or bringing a subject to your mind seems weird.	/r/TheRedPill	29/09/19 11:37 PM
