Stop Confusing Your Weakness as Strength |
|
Do you visualize yourself as a strong, confident, and successful man who can achieve whatever he sets his mind to? Or are you weak, insecure, and dare I say, mediocre? If you’re reading this newsletter, I assume you want to be the former. But I have to ask, are you sure you’re not the latter? Most guys are blind when it comes to recognizing strength. So many men think that being strong comes down to how much money they make, how many women they sleep with, how much weight they can bench, or how hard they can drink and party. But the truth is that traits and habits like these don’t make you strong at all. These are traits that are actually f*cking up your progress and making you weak. What’s worse is that people can’t even see it as it happens. Weakness is not always visible on the surface which means the ‘strength’ of weakness is that it can be subtle, sneaky, and sometimes even come disguised as virtues. You’ve probably heard it before: “I’m against drugs, but weed is legal, so I’m good”, or “I only binge drink on the weekends because I’m a busy, high performer at work”. Great excuses. In the past I’ve talked a lot about the habits and traits that will make you successful, but there is one thing I haven’t really talked at length about…the parts of your personality that are killing your future by making you weak. I posted about this exact topic not too long ago, and I want to expand a little on it so you’re clear on what I mean. |

When it comes to spotting a weak man, you won’t find it out by listening to them. Everything you need to know will be revealed in their behaviors, actions, and patterns. To help you, I’ll explain in a little more detail: How to spot a weakling: - Indecision: This includes the procrastinators, the hesitaters, and the second-guessers. People like this let others make decisions for them, or just simply follow the crowd. What is the purpose of living if you’re just following other people around?
- Moodiness: These people let their emotions control them. Because of that, they are more likely to complain and blame rather than dealing with stress or criticism head on. Moody people also use that trait to make others feel bad. Has anyone ever told you, “Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my morning coffee.” Exactly my point.
- Laziness: A lack of proactivity can kill you faster than you think. These people sit around and wait for things to happen and end up relying on luck for anything good in their life. The lazy ones don’t set goals and thrive on wasting their time and others too. With no motivation or proactivity, how can you create any change at all?
- Entitlement: These people think they deserve everything and expect that others should feel the same way and give them what they want. The entitled man doesn’t work hard, learn, or try to improve any part of their lives because they don’t appreciate or respect shit. These men need to learn a hard lesson in gratitude and humility…which we all know life is more than capable of providing.
- Lying: This is more than just not telling the truth. These are people who also omit the truth when it’s convenient for them or deceive and manipulate people to get ahead. Lying also means broken promises, cheating, and even stealing. I’ll bet every one of us knows someone like this.
- Gossiping: No one likes someone who talks about others behind their backs. Not only is it a coward move, but it also shows a total lack of discipline and maturity. Has anyone ever started a conversation with you like this: “Don’t tell anyone I told you…but you’ll never believe what happened…”. That is your cue to leave that conversation immediately.
- Social Climber: These people are way too focused on status and popularity, which leads to a complete lack of originality. These people also make shitty leaders. Have you ever had a boss that was only interested in themselves and stepped on employees to get ahead? Maybe you work for one right now?
- Bullies: This one is pretty simple, but bullying takes different forms. Yes, there are grown-ups that still intimidate and manipulate others to get what they want, but this also includes people who love to insult and humiliate others…sometimes for no reason other than their own enjoyment. I’ve met a lot of people like this in my life, and I promise, they are all weak as hell.
- Fear of Failure: The only way to be truly successful is to take risks and face challenges head on. This is how you create opportunities for yourself. People who are scared to fail play it safe and encourage others to do the same. You can’t avoid mistakes, and you don’t have to let failures define you, but to know what you’re capable of, you need to put yourself out there and get outside your comfort zone…away from these cowards.
- Disloyalty: This is not just towards other people, but also applies to a person’s principles, values, and beliefs. People like this will avoid commitments and won’t sacrifice shit for anyone else other than themselves. These are the guys who are also most likely to betray or even abandon family and friends.
It’s a long list, but it’s also all true. So, it’s time for me to ask, do you recognize any of these traits in yourself? If so, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many men struggle with these issues, but the good news is that you can fix them. |

The key to all of this is that you have to be willing to change. |

You have to be willing to admit your weaknesses, face your fears, and overcome the difficulties that come with personal growth. Without the desire to work hard, continue learning, and developing new habits, you won’t get anywhere. You have to put in the work. I can’t do it for you. I am here as a resource, and to help support you, but you have to do your part. When I say do your part, I mean you are the one who has to be proactive and follow through. Are you ready for that? Are you ready to fix what’s been making you weak? If you are, then I’m glad you’re with me. If not, you can unsubscribe anytime. I won’t be offended. But honestly, I hope you stay. Why? Because I believe in you. I know all of you have what it takes to remove the weaknesses in your life. And I’m here to help you every step of the way. Let me know what’s holding you back or how you’ve removed weakness in your life. |
