Self development is a great thing, but motivation and saturation are important. If self-development is simply gaining, more and more and more, without limit or satiation, then you really aren't doing anything that 95% of people are doing these days. Self-development doesn't just mean "I will have more of this" or "I will get better at that".

The fact is there are so many things in life, and because we are irreconcilably selective, we can only do so much. Then to a certain extent, to have a good life, you need to balance your desires with your ability to fulfill them. I see alot of talk here about what men can do to improve, in terms of gaining. But actually what is just as important is what you lose.

To become "red pill" is not just about doing certain things, it is about dropping certain things also. For example, you can lift and look aesthetic, and that will help you. But there are plenty of blue pill men doing that too. There are plenty of blue pill men "improving" themselves by climbing the ladder society gave them, and they are miserable.

In a way swallowing the "red pill" means to see things as it is, rather than what they are purported to be. Now what I see when I look out into society, is a generation of spoilt and rotten women. If something you do in your life is not serving you well, then to get rid of that and overcome it is a kind of self-improvement. And definitely the thirst that men have for women is a big problem, and results in many problems. Just a few commentsandcriticisms.

A large part of our society preaches humility as a virtue and narcissism as the sin. The trouble is that the people who need to be more humble rarely see a need to be, those who take it to heart are those who are overly humble to begin with.

Liking what you see in the mirror is an important part, but owning and being proud of your own accomplishments are critical to developing a real sense of self.

Confidence is a function of accomplishment, so as you accomplish your goals it will naturally grow, but only if you have a mindset that permits it. Too many people I've met in self-development contexts are the type that will make great strides in relatively short periods of time and then will continue to beat themselves down for not being good enough or doing more.

Look in the mirror: That's all you need to make it!

"Kill the Beta"

The beta has no separation from the herd mind and can't admire himself.

Ego... it's a good thing up to a point.

The ego is where masculine polarity begins.
