Quick reminder that things take time.

there's something called motivational hierarchy that goes like this.

Enjoying the process > Self improvement > End goal

that muscular body takes time, that woman you like takes time, understanding knowledge takes time.

don't go on a date thinking that you need to get laid, think about having fun and enjoying the interaction.

go to the gym for the sole purpose of feeling that bar go up and down.

and last but very important, stop controlling your emotions or you will damage yourself

TLDR slow down, if you don't exercise patience your life will fade away in a blink of an eye

good Friday to everyone

Edit:

Controlling emotions means judging events before they even happen, such as thinking: my friend's birthday is not going to be fun. you're not giving yourself a chance to see things for what they are. Another example is to try to control affection: 'oh I'm really having a good time wirh this girl but AWALT, divorces and hypergamy'.

Yesterday I was on a date and I was constantly sabotaging it mentally 'she may be lying about X, she may not be interesting enough or attractive enough' AND I WAS HAVING FUN
