In the western world, we have seen, and will continue to see organizations and groups being built with a sole purpose of promoting the acceptance of weakness.

The easiest path typically leads to the least amount of suffering. And, the world will tell you that path is acceptable to take.

It’s up to you to call yourself out on the bullshit every single day. That is, if your goal is to not become weak. There will always be someone there to tell you the path of least resistance is acceptable. You may even be encouraged. Conversely, no one is going to be there to supervise you or prevent you from taking the path of least resistance. It’s up to you to make decisions that lead you away from it at every turn.

Most people don’t want to do the hard thing and stop making excuses for themselves. Because simple answers make your problems make sense, and justify your current situation in life. And, it’s never easy to tell yourself that you need to do more.

It’s simple. When you allow for weakness to creep in, you become weak. Overtime, subtle weakness will begin to infiltrate your life if you allow them to. The real danger isn’t necessarily being weak. In this world, that’s actually just fine. You’ll be taken care of and catered to.

Rather, when a difficult situation arises and you’re incapable of commanding, overcoming, or sustaining, that is where the real danger comes into play. When you want things for yourself: women, money, friends, and you’re weak, that is where the real danger begins. That’s when people begin to hate themselves for becoming weak.

The harder you become, the easier life becomes. The harder you become, the more people will look to you for strength.

Always take the hardest path. Always make the hard decisions. And always take responsibility for yourself, your actions, and your life’s circumstances.

Resist weakness at every turn, and do the opposite of the masses. Do everything you can to not become one of them.

Do all of this so your life ultimately becomes easier and better as time goes on.
