If you want to be a strong, confident, and fearless human being, there are certain things that you need to understand. Truths that, while uncomfortable at times, are just the way it is.
I don’t make the rules. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in life, it’s that ignoring the things that help you succeed, be super fit and comfortably wealthy, is a dead-end road that far too many people take (me included). Most wind up turning back.
