The following is an excerpt from the script of my next Video featuring Illimitable Man's monk mode concept.

"Concept Four : Building Strengths, While Minimizing Weaknesses."

That phrase is the easiest concept to understand, and in my opinion the most important when it comes to monk mode, yet it's surrounded by plenty of confusion - so let's clarify it right now:

When someone tells you to Build strengths, it means two things:

  • First, you need to get better at what you're good at, good at what you're okay at, and so on. If you're a great writer, become an award winning novelist. If you're completely out of shape, be able to bench press a little more than your body weight. If you're a great painter, get your work into galleries. If you're a lousy cook, develop one dish that's orgasmic.

Picture yourself in a suit of armor. You want to develop and show off the strongest most impenetrable sections of it, while ensuring the rest of you is at the very least, up to par, because you're only as strong as your weakest link.

The idea behind this, is you're gonna wanna focus MOST of your energy on pursuits you have a natural affinity for - and your remaining energy on improving things you suck at.

This is known as the pareto principal, the 80/20 - 80 percent of your results come from 20 percent of your actions.

Lets say you have five hobbies, painting, writing, running, bike racing, and skydiving. All of these are fun, make you more interesting, but you happen to be really good at running - you got long legs, lungs stronger Usian's bolts... Running is the 20%, and it will bring you 80% of your life's results, a healthy body, a strong group of athletic friends, access to high status events and potential to win universally recognized accolades, and tons of bitches, all of which you never would have had the potential for in your other amaetur hobbies...

However, before you can reach those heights of greatness that comes to having a formidable strength you must understand the second meaning of the phrase "Building Strengths..."

  • Two : YOU MUST PUT YOURSELF INTO POSITIONS TO DEMONSTRATE YOUR STRENGTHS!

What good is it to be an amazing juggler if you never show anyone you can throw 17 burning knives between your hands blindfolded? Sounds impressive and amazing as fuck, but nobody gives a fuck about what they can't see! Pics or it didnt happen bro!

It is critical for your development as a victorious man, to demonstrate your skills and strengths through victory in competition and battle. This is the only way for you to gain true confidence, and feel that you are a master of your craft, hobby, or pursuit.

As you put yourself out into the world, you will find challengers who emerge from the woodworks, almost from thin air, as the universe itself were testing your abilities - okay I got carried away there but that's the way this actually feels like.

If you've only ever light-spared, you will never know how you will handle an all out fight, and I guarantee you will panic or at the very least be stressed out. There is a difference between practice and the real thing.

The only way you can honestly tell yourself that you have a strength is if you put it to the test, and win.

We ain't out here trying to build skills that we keep as hidden secrets, talkin all that "as long as I know I'm good, that's all that matters" bullshit - that's some beta male bitch shit, put yourself out there. We here to WIN nigga. Fuck.

Another great way to ensure victory is by Minimizing weaknesses.

Like I said earlier, show off the best parts of your armor, and improve your weaker links, because you are only as strong as your weakest links.

If you suck at something, work on it until you are somewhat competent and decent at it to handle yourself in the very basics of a situation to solve that problem.

  • If you're bad at something, work on it until you're atleast okay at it.

If you don't know a damn thing about cars, AT THE ABSOLUTE VERY LEAST have a company on file you can call to help you out if you blow out a tire. Now you're not COMPLETELY clueless, you minimized that weakness.

Don't know how to do laundry? Cant be bothered with learning? Hire a maid.

There are multiple solutions to a problem to achieve the desired outcome. Not every man is capable of lugging 300LB boxes back and forth for hours on end - so some guy invented a push cart.

He minimized his weakness in physical fortitude by building and emphasizing his strength in cleverness.

However, do not mistake this for foolish vulnerability. There is nothing noble about exposing yourself. You will gain nothing.

  • REMOVE YOURSELF FROM SITUATION WHERE YOUR WEAKNESSES ARE EXPOSED!

You don't go around flashing your weakest links to your enemies do you? Why would you, unless you're looking to get killed!

If you are absolute shit with coding and programming, DO NOT ENTER an all night hack-a-thon contest.

If you can't draw, don't volunteer to make someone's banner or t-shirt design.

If you can't fight, don't go looking for one! If you aren't strong, dont try to ego lift 500 LB and kill yourself!

If you can't shoot, don't become a cop! If you can't talk with people, don't become a salesman!

IF YOU CANT SING, DO NOT AUDITION FOR AMERICA'S GOT TALENT. YOU WILL END UP ONE OF THE FOOLS I WATCH AND LAUGH!

All of that will lead to unneeded, and unhelpful embarrassment and failure. Serious, only a masochist would do this.

Both aspects of the concept, of building strengths while minimizing weaknesses, are built on the foundation of the following premise:

"BE THE STRONGEST VERSION OF YOURSELF. BE WHO YOU ARE. DO WHAT YOU'RE GOOD AT."

Arnold couldn't have Nietzsche's literary genius, and Nietzsche couldn't reach Arnie's physique even if he tried.

As much as you can reprogram your mentality and belief systems, you could even spend years developing a talent that you initially sucked at, but you must also understand you have a genetic predisposition, and should not become deluded and try to become that which you are not.

You will probably never look like Arnie, but I'm sure there's SOMETHING you can do that Arnie wouldn't have the slightest chance at mastering.

Imagine, John and I are both painters competing for the same gallery spot, where as it took John 10 years to get as good as I am in my first year painting. And 1 year goes by, and I'm already leagues better than John again. What a waste of time.

Picture the suburban white kid trying to act hood, who goes into the actual hood and gets robbed.

Don't let that be you.

^Some ^quick ^disclaimers ^for ^any ^autists ^who ^might ^be ^out ^there ^-

^All ^men ^are ^meant ^to ^lift ^heavy ^shit. ^I've ^seen ^guys ^without ^legs ^who ^are ^stronger ^than ^most ^college ^kids. ^Being ^strong ^is ^a ^male ^STRENGTH. ^Some ^guys ^are ^just ^stronger ^than ^others.

Some quick disclaimers for any autists who might be out there -

All men are meant to lift heavy shit. I've seen guys without legs who are stronger than most college kids. Being strong is a male STRENGTH. Some guys are just stronger than others.

Seduction is not a weakness that you must hide either, it is a strength that must be
