Tl;dr Your goals are always more important than women. Make sure you do everything you can to accomplish your mission. Your woman can either be an anchor or a booster.
Here is the video in question: Goals over Girls. A lot of you probably know Elliott, those who don't - he is known mostly for his youtube videos about fitness and vlogs.
In his recent video he responds to a viewer's question, a guy whose goal is to make career in music, but his gf is afraid that he will be financially unstable and wants him to make a diploma. The guy goes on:
I wanna have both her and music, but if I'm not going to get a degree she may end up breaking up with me, because she doesn't want to struggle financially.
Now Elliott drops one of the core RP truths, telling a story from his life:
So when I started dating Kelly in high school, I was already very clear about my purpose. I knew I was either going to be a professional athlete or a coach.[...] I warned her: I'm going hard. I've a mission. It's going to be a bumpy road I'm on. I'm ready for the struggle, but I'm not going to stop until I get where I'm going. I love you, but this is where I'm going. You can either come with me or not.
A lot of you probably will disagree with him, saying shit like: 'You can't say that to women, you must show it!' or that expressing your affection is a mistake. What I see instead is a man who didn't waste a second on bullshitting. He had his mission, no time wasted. By the way, he end up marrying her and they are together to this day.
Later he explains the difference between women and man and says:
I recognize the feminine in my wife and I do my best to create an environment for her, so she can blossom fully. But she also, very early on, gave me room and encouraged me on my purpose, on my mission. And she has reaped the gifts.
Guys, it's your journey. It's time to realise that you're the prize. If the woman is good at being a woman, allow her to join you, but don't lose your focus. Eyes on the mission.
A lot of women try to knock men off their paths. Like you! - he refers to the music guy - You're about to get into that trap! You love her, I get it. You love her, but mission is number one for men.
Translation: dump her. If someone doesn't support your cause, don't waste time. You have one mission and one life. There is no time for people who slow you down.
I have written this for you to give you a general idea about what he is talking about. Go ahead and watch it, you won't regret. Eyes on the mission!
Lessons learned:
Your mission is the most important thing in your life
Women can join you if they want, but dont lose your focus
Next people who don't support you, reward people who do
