Accept Your Life for What it is

I agree with this to an extent. It is not healthy to be jealous of other people.

However, it is very healthy to want different circumstances for yourself and to TAKE ACTION, through setting goals, acquiring knowledge and following through.

The problem with "acceptance" is that it can be interpreted as passivity. Passivity is always bad. When your body is passive it gets worse, when your mind is passive it dulls, your business is passive it loses.

Do not be envious, but do not be accepting and passive in regards to what you want from life. Real men ruthlessly set goals for what they want and follow through with action, do not accept mediocre.

Along the same lines, if you haven't read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations, you really should do that right now. This is the wisdom of the ancients that has been all but forgotten in our feminized society:

It's not terrible advice, but it's kinda feel-good stuff that doesn't really add to the conversation. Sorry.

I like the 4th point you made. I tend to get bitter when I see women acting the way they do.

Also a little egotistical then when I get proven I'm not the center of the world it's like a big wake up call. It's like a roller coaster. One minute I'm happy as can be care free and not giving a fuck then all of a sudden my ego gets the best of me and I think everyone should see how awesome I am. It's like a validation roller coaster. Fuck.

Remember that most people feel good about themselves when they do something nice for others.

"Nice Guys?"

Hmmmmmm...

The point about selfishness is the most valuable one here, sometimes it's best to be selfish and in doing so focus on yourself, because it allows you to spend time giving value to yourself (eg. getting enough sleep, going to the gym, getting work done).

With time people will come to value your attention more, because it isn't something you have given away freely, and they'll want to bbe associated with you because you've taken time out to become a worthwhile human being.

It's a strange phenomenon..

You'll notice that selfish people are sometimes pursued more because to gain their recognition can be seen as an achievement, whereas selfless people are often abused because they give too freely
