No passion, need advice

Bro, you're only 17. I didn't have my shit together until I was 30. You've got plenty of time. Start off by lifting. That's vastly important. Then decide the direction you want to go and make steps every day to get there. Now your going to have to make a sacrifice for these things. It's one that most guys aren't willing to sacrifice.

You need to sacrifice your need to complain about the past and the present. You can't have both.

You can decide to hold onto your complaints and the world will keep you down. Everyone will treat you like a little bitch. Or you can decide to change. But your right to complain goes with that.

You'll find that if you try your best, people will help you. If you complain the best, people will want you to fuck off.

Hahaha. 17. At that age I was skipping biology to go into the nearby ditch to play Pokémon ruby and playing WoW until 2am.

I’m 30 now and have polished up real nicely over the last decade and most of those kids I looked up to at your age are broke and lost themselves. You’ve got plenty of time. Relax.

Stop comparing yourself to others and embark on your self development journey today. The biggest mistake you can make is feeling guilty and regretful of the past and worrying of variables in future that are out of your control.

Focus on what is in your control now in your life. Make no small plans, stay present, and enjoy the journey.

Good luck kid.

While you’re sitting here typing you could be working on your passion. Just try random shit until something sticks. Music. Painting. Sculpting. Kayaking.

It doesn’t take much energy to become really good at something. It does take a crazy amount of consistency though.

Spend 2 hours everyday working on what it is you want to be good at.

Yeah you're 17. Life's just beginning. As an adult there aren't any excuses, so if you want to look like Bruce Lee go do it. What are you doing next year once you graduate from High School?
