TO LOVE ALL IS TO LOVE NONE.
Do not waste your talents, energy, and focus for six month faces and P/T peers. Even if you are not an aggressive or hardened human you should be able to acknowledge there can really be true peace or one love. Maybe individually but to me that is a person who has stopped exploring or experiencing their path. It is vital that you must understand there are people in this world who would harm you because they can. They will do it without hesitation, no matter your best efforts to convince them otherwise. You are a small casualty in their fucking war. The times of being naive are over. It is the time to assert yourself with who is with you, who is against you, and which of those will switch sides. You are foolish to believe your crew can have no Judas.
To be truly dominate in the gym as much as your mentality in life, you must reserve your dark energy for the deserving. The strain on a persons mental endurance day in and day out is overwhelming. Even if you haven't physically exerted yourself. You can feel it after a long day your energy is depleted by the evening. Much of this is unavoidable due to career, education, family, or life's work. However, there are ways to conserve your mind's power and focus. One way is by weeding out the poison of others. You must learn that you cannot be everyone's friend. Even if you could, why would you? Spreading yourself thin hurts those in your inner circle the most. Which is incredibly damaging because the inner circle is the most intimate. It is the circle you see and feel each day of your existence.
To pull yourself inward and save your best for the most important, you need to establish who are your allies and who is your enemy. Accept there will always be people who won't like you or what your doing. This is a good thing. This can be the greatest weapon for a weightlifter since the squat rack. You can use their ill will as fuel for supreme dominance in the weight room. There is no better motivator than knowing you are getting stronger as your enemies get weaker.
The dislike or hatred people harbor for you is not your concern, it is theirs. To waste any effort on that is only hurting your strength gains. Which is exactly their intentions. Pushing you out of your boundaries and derail you. Everyone knows you need to be physically rested to perform at your best, but I meet few who understand how powerful a fully rested and focused mind is. Surely you have experienced this. Sometimes you get in the gym and your self esteem is surging, confidence is high. You already know your going to make this lift before you even get under the bar. You have told yourself you are making this happen. Get under it and get it done. Other times you feel like wet bread. You are self consciousness and bummed out about how you look. Disappointed in yourself that you missed too many days since the last lift. Its when 315 use to feel like butter and now its a grinding chore to get a double without bursting a blood vessel.
By assigning your energy to people, ideas, and concepts that mean the most you are doing two things. 1) You are conserving your complete strength (mental and physical) for better, successful sessions in the gym. 2) You are giving them the best and most deserving version of yourself available. You are not short-changing the people who hold you up. When there is balance in your life outside the gym, your time in the gym becomes more productive.
Hold yourself to a higher standard. Don't sell yourself to someone on why your a cool dude. Don't lower your self worth to some meaningless job in hopes they except you onto the team or job site on their terms. You don't need them, they need you! It's your life's mission to make them aware of that. It is the other who must earn your approval. They show YOU why they belong. You make them say "we want you on our team, we need you in our ranks."

| Productive motherfuckers making things happen on their terms. Not concerned with the activities of the weak and feeble. Focused on themselves and their brood. |

Your azimuth is shot, it points directly to your end point of success. You are too motivated to detour. You have to maintain accountability of yourself and your pack. You prioritize all decisions with "how will this effect myself and my group?" Picking up hitchhikers delays forward progression. Moves the timeline further to the right. It's another item on the list of life's bullshit. Looking to stop or distract you from getting what you deserve.You only help those that are able to help themselves by giving them knowledge and the tools to become self reliant. Do not care for the abled mind and body. Doing so makes them weaker in the long run.

| "There's an important phrase that we use here, and think it's time that you all learned it. Act as if. You understand what that means? Act as if you are the fucking President of this firm. Act as if you got a 9" cock. Okay? Act as if." - Jon Young from the film Boiler Room. |
"Act as if". I've said this before. It still applies. You fucking belong here. Write it down and repeat it. If you don't feel confident at your location or environment don't breakdown. The idea is to not let fear or doubt show. Wear the mask, act the part. Survey your surroundings and pay attention to the leaders. Follow their lead.
It's a advanced version of fake it till you make it but different in that were not faking ourselves. We are convincing them. If you are outside your element and it's apparent in gestures, attitude, gait, voice, or presence that you aren't supposed to be there, you will be fingered very fucking quick. They will attack. They will eat you up, spewing you out to the other side with the force of a hammer.

| Yeah, I work here. I own the fucking building. I own the internet in the building. I own the wires that carry that internet in this building. I own the water that flushes your painful shits because of your garbage nutrition. I am the first person you need to come to with a solution. I am the last person you want to see when there is a problem. I am the boss of all your bosses. I am the best looking motherfucker here. I am the most oiled guy on the block. No one is as well oiled as I am. I own the oil that makes me oily. I own oil. Olive, sunflower, canola, coconut....I own them all. The Oil in the Middle East? mine. |
Love for the deserving. Disdain for the undeserving. Love for everyone is superficial and meaningless. Control your empathy. Know that when you confront an enemy it is you or them. I trust you will act accordingly.
