If you are going to be a man, you need to be able to get what you want. In life you get to make a choice, that is whether you let your circumstances hold you back, or whether you make something different for yourself. If you are not working on getting what you want, you are wasting your time.

In order to get what it is you want you first have to differentiate what it is YOU want, and what others want for you. This is really hard to do, but you have to dig deep and find out what it is you truly want. It probably isn't what you saw on a commercial, or what your parents told you. Buying the new truck to show off because it is what everyone else does is not being a man. You have to make sure that your resources are only allocated towards what is essential, that is working on your goal.

To get what you want you have to do 1 thing only. WHAT EVER IT TAKES. If it takes getting up at 4:30 am to lift while it is still dark and all your coworkers sleep in, so be it. You will be tired, you will want to make all sorts of excuses as to why you were wrong and you don't want it as bad as you thought you did. And it is right there where you decide who was right, the you who said you could, or the one who said you couldn't. Both are right.
