I've been seeing a lot of this lately - people just falling apart, especially with the quarantine. People getting depressed. People getting frustrated. People wondering what to do. How to get laid. People acting like this has ruined their lives.

Here's the issue, brothers: You all need to realize that this is a perfect opportunity to get your shit together. First and foremost, stop worrying about banging chicks. They will be there when this is over, and it will be easier than you ever imagined for reasons listed below. Just get that shit out of your head and focus on the real opportunities at hand.

If it's your thing, limit gaming and social media to one hour a day. I love me some call of duty, but I need to limit it or it will get in the way of my life. It will always be there. Times like this aren't.

This is a perfect time to work on your diet. You're quarantined, so you're in complete control of what you eat. Start to figure out how many calories you can eat, and log it all in myfitnesspal on your phone. Figure out what you're going to do with your diet when the quarantine ends with your diet, and work on that.

If you're reading this, you have internet - get on youtube and figure out what you need to learn. Watch videos on how to build credit, how to invest, how to eat, how to live. It's full of good advice if you drill it down and focus on it. Or read the sidebar again. Refreshers are always nice.

Stop the fucking sodas and the fucking pizzas. That's what everyone else is doing and they are all failing at life. This is why you're tired all the time. You're not moving. You're not eating well. You're not sleeping well. You're not LIVING. Clean out the freezer. Experiment with new recipes. Figure out macros. Give clean eating a try. Work on shredding down and getting your body fat to new lows. Youtube home workouts. Do them until they hurt.

Some say they have no goals. Your goals should be YOU, always. Write down exactly where you want to be in five years financially, socially, and physically. Figure out what you need to have done in two and a half years to hit that five year goal. Then figure out what you need to have done in one year to hit that goal. Then six months. Then one month. Then one week. Then tomorrow. THEN FUCKING DO IT.

You're expecting to be pushed through motivation, and motivation (in my opinion) is the biggest path to failure because motivation, like a girl, is only there when things are good - never when things are shitty. Relying on motivation is like relying on a woman to help you when you're broke, jobless, and tearful - it's just not going to happen. Discipline is what you need to cultivate - to do what the fuck is necessary even when everything in your life is wanting you to do something else.

GET THE FUCK OVER IT. Everyone is in a slump. Everyone is feeling this way. Everyone is going stir crazy, and everyone is nervous. Times like this make you prioritize what's important in life, and gives us a reset to wake up and really figure out what it is that is important, and what it is that we want. Use this time to really self reflect. If the world is ending, how do you want to go out? Personally, I want to go out like a man who handled his shit and rose to whatever challenges life threw at him. Practice mindfulness. Find yourself.

I believe that people are freaking out over the quarantine because they are starting to realize that they are spending a lot of time by themselves, or with others, and they don't really like themselves or the people they thought they once liked. If you don't like who you're with, that's an easy fix. But if you don't like yourself, the fix is a little longer, a little harder, a little more painful, but a whole hell of a lot more rewarding. This is what shapes men. This is what builds societies. Years from now, people will have anxiety and remember this as a horrible time where they couldn't get Doritos without a face mask and got divorced because they spent their hours on social media wishing the world was different. Others are going to come out of this with purpose, with passion, and with a sense of what's important. They are going to be dating all those newly single people and they are going to be grabbing life by the fucking balls, and squeezing until the world hurts.

I said this before, and it was well received, so I will say it again. The greatest stories start just like this. The shittiest stories end just like this.

It is up to you which story you live. I'm rooting for you all.
