Life Lessons Only A Father Could Give To His Son. by 6ixpaq(op): 7:43am On Jan 15, 2025
Listen, there are some life lessons only a father could give to his son.

I was foolish when I was younger and I had to learn things the hard way.

It took me 7 years to realize these lessons, and I will tell you in 5 minutes.

1. Learn About Female Nature
God can't save you from women nature.

If you don't learn GAME, you are done for!

Boy, Learn About Female Nature.

Many guys that have no success with girls will call them unpredictable and complicated.

The opposite is true.

Girls become extremely predictable once you understand how they work.

Not understanding female nature can ruin even the greatest man's life.

It will cost you greatly sooner or later if you underestimate this.

So learn about female nature even if you are not dating at the moment.

2. Take Life Seriously

Do not listen to the people that tell you to not take life so serious.

They have forsaken themselves and lack ambition.

Young men are gifted with high testosterone and energy and when you are not taking life seriously, you are wasting that gift. Pathetic.

Instead, you must aim to become a monster.

Get on self-improvement and ruthlessly outgrow all your friends.

If there are friends that can keep up with your improvement, that would be great.

If they can't, that is their problem.

3. Build A Relationship With God

When I say this, I already know there are some people that will get triggered.

We live in a time where people get angry when someone gives praise to the Creator.

Listen, the only way to truly be strong when all hell breaks loose is by trusting in God.

And the only way to stay grounded when you reach the top is by giving all praise to God.

4. A Good Friend Is Golden

One loyal friend is worth more than 10,000 relatives.

It may be difficult to find one, but if you do have one, make sure you cherish it.

One should be willing to fight and even die for a true friend.

5. Pick Your Battles Wisely

In life, you will come across many battles that are not worth fighting, whether it's physically, mentally or verbally.

This is a mistake I made in the past.

My ego would not allow me to avoid any form of confrontation.

It resulted in me getting further and further away from my goals and success. I was a fool.

You must be selective about your battles.

If you fight them all, you'll be too tired to win the ones that truly matter.

6. Forgive Others Out Of Selfishness

Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness but because it will bring you peace of mind.

If you don't plan to take revenge, there is no point in not forgiving someone.

It is only putting a great deal of pressure and strain on yourself.

7. Avoid Bad Habits Like The Plague

Don't have TikTok? Good.

Don't play video games? Good.

Never drank alcohol? Good.

A lot of people will pressure you into forming bad habits.

They will tell you how you are boring and need to join them.

You might even start believing that you're missing out on all the fun.

Here is the reality.

Bad habits are easy to build and hard to break.

The more you can avoid completely, the better off you are going to be in life.

The same people that are pressuring you into doing bad activities now will have to fight later to break those same habits.

Many of them will fail breaking those bad habits and stay losers as a result of it.

8. Build An Iron Mind

Many people have weak minds because they don't suffer enough.

The number one way to build a strong mind is to build a strong body.

They are directly linked. Whether that means you go for sprints early in the morning, join an MMA gym or do heavy sets of squats in the gym, you must find a way to suffer and build a powerful body to build an iron mind.

9. See Through Manipulation

Whenever something is being told, don't blindly assume it to be the truth, especially if it's coming from the media or government.

Always ask yourself who is giving you the information and why would they want you to believe it.

What is the benefit for them if you believe it to be true?

Human nature has not changed over the last hundred years.

People in a position of power know this.

They know how to use strong emotions against you such as fear and anger.

It doesn't matter if the news is about a war or a virus. Always objectively analyze.

Don't allow people to control your emotions.

10. Pay Yourself First

This is more of an investor mentality and is a phrase that is very popular in the personal finance world.

However, it doesn't refer to money as the phrase implies.

Instead, it can ultimately mean to put yourself first.

No one else will do it for you.

11. Talk Is Cheap

I've met many men in my life that talked a big game but never delivered.

It is disgusting. A man cannot build a reputation on what he is going to do.

If you seek a good reputation, you need to go out there and put in the work.

12. Don't Label Yourself

When you put labels on yourself, you limit the results that you can get in your life.

For example, if you say, I am weak, you have now put the label of weakness on yourself.

The moment your arms start shaking a little bit during push-ups, your mind will automatically convince you that it's because you are too weak and you will quit.

Instead, you must only put empowering labels on yourself or not put a label on yourself at all.

13. Learn To Stand Firm In What You Believe

In 1967, Muhammad Ali refused to be drafted into the army due to religious objections against the Vietnam War.

He was sentenced to prison and was forbidden to fight for years during his physical prime.

No matter the consequences, Muhammad Ali stood firm behind what he believed in, as any masculine man should.

14. Build High Income Skills

Times have changed and people still haven't fully realized it yet.

They still work a regular job and don't capitalize on the internet.

The sooner you can start learning online skills, the better off you will be.

Look for skills that are evergreen, meaning they will always be important and highly paid skills.

Sales and copywriting are two examples of such skills.

15. Know Your Next Moves

If you want to win, you need to know how to be strategic.

Don't just be a meathead and let life happen to you.

Plan ahead.

What is your next move and what is the move that comes after that?

The more solid moves you are able to plan ahead, the better.

16. Pivot

Even if you plan everything out perfectly, things will happen.

Storms will come your way, and there will be many times where you will have to adjust your plan.

You need to be able to switch your moves up quickly if necessary.

Don't hesitate. Decide.

17. Listen To Understand

Humans are naturally selfish.

We love to talk about ourselves and feel like the main character of life.

Some people listen only to agree or disagree right away.

Listen to understand, don't listen to respond.

18. Don't Be A Coward

The worst type of man is a coward.

It is so disgusting that you can't even call this individual a man.

Aim to be brave no matter how you feel and always have the back of the people in your close circle.

19. Always Be Grateful

No matter what happens in life, there is always a reason to be grateful for something.

I don't care what you are going through. You could have the worst day of your life.

It does not matter.

There is always something to be grateful for.

You could have been brutally murdered today.

Remember that.
