Self-improvement is great, every man needs to take stock of himself see where he is coming up short and then work to remedy it. However this is meant to be a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. Self-improvement for the sake of self-improvement is futile. Something that many self-improvement for men sites get wrong and confused is thinking that making money, being attractive to women, and being strong and in shape is the end and not the means to something greater.
If the greatest goal in your life is banging more thots and making more money and nothing else then you’re life is devoid of much of the meaning it could have. Look no one is going to follow a leader that is repulsive to women, poor, out of shape, and lacks social skills but at the same time those things in and of themselves are not the point. The reason I harp on these things is to lay the foundation for something greater not so for the things themselves.
What Lies Ahead?
Eventually you need something greater in your life then the same rehashed “make money, get in shape, fuck bitches”. Again studying human psychology, making money, mindset, women, and getting in shape are all great and are what is needed for the average man to get out of the average trap. But if he just stops there he’ll never achieve true greatness and what he was created to be. As many others have pointed the “red pill” (for lack of a better term) is the entry point for something not the ultimate goal.
Man is three parts. Mental, physical, and spiritual. All parts must be developed to their full capacities not just one or two of them. And by spiritual I don’t mean following a certain set of religious morals (though that could certainly play a roll) I mean something much deeper and more primal than that. The red pill is the foundation for something greater and more eternal. There comes a time when one must build on top of it instead of endlessly going around in the same circle.
Foundation & Building
Read books, lift weights, and find something deeper to strive towards. Many make the mistake of thinking the red pill has no place in this but they’re wrong. The issue comes from making the red pill the only thing (by red pill I’m referring to learning to make money, get women, get in shape, etc.). I’m not saying you have to start a family or that you have to really do anything in particular, just that you should strive for something more. Something deeper, stronger, and more eternal.
So don’t get me wrong make the money, attract the women, get in shape, but then (and only then) direct all of that and yourself to something greater. A great task, a great work, or even to become a legend or hero. As always you should make your mission number one (just make sure to make your ultimate mission something beyond getting in shape, getting women, or making X amount of money although all those things will be a part of it).
Eternity Is Waiting
We all have a limited time on this earth and what we do with our time echoes in eternity and one day we will have to answer to our gods and heroes of the past when we asked what we did with our time. Will we be laughed out of Valhalla when we say “I fucked a lot of 6’s off Tinder and gold diggers with my lambo and make lots of shekels through crypto” or will we have something a little more eternal there?
Now on the other side you have guys who are broke could only barely attract their frumpy wife who go on and on about “tradition” and marriage and other things but they only do so from their inadequacy. Which is a whole other topic. Don’t be like them but don’t be the guy that gets stuck in the red pill forever either. Be the guy that accomplishes all the red pill sets out as you want it and then goes on to something greater.
