It is so easy to be wrong—and to persist in being wrong—when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.

Love a man who can seat himself in any room and still speak their language. Armed with the wisdom to meet people where they are and then expand them into more.

Communication isn’t about agreeing, it’s about understanding.

The modern woman wants a traditional man without being traditional herself

Women who're continuously defiant even in the presence of a dominant man who takes care of shit are too damaged to be worth your time Find a woman who appreciates masculinity and will complement you with feminine polarity rather than a man hater constantly plotting an overthrow.

If you're observant enough, people usually tell on themselves.

If you’re marketing looks like everyone else’s, your prospects will assume you’re like everyone else—mediocre.

Self love isn’t a wine and spa day, it’s holding yourself to a higher standard than anyone else does.

When you're lacking motivation, remind yourself: discipline now, freedom later. The labor will pass, and the rewards will last.

There’s no greater waste of time than justifying your actions to people who have a life you don’t want.

People are always so quick to burn bridges and cut ties, then complain about feeling lonely and depressed. Even the best relationships have their ups and downs, if you want to feel part of a great community, if you want to feel loved, then learn the value of commitment first.

If they stand behind you, grant them protection. If they stand beside you, grant them respect. If they stand against you, show them no mercy.

Nobody is thinking about you. They're too busy thinking of themselves.

Lord, protect me from my friends; I can take care of my enemies.

Life is short, you live, you die, that’s it. Most people you crossed paths with already forgot about your existence, so relax. Stay humble, don’t assume you know better. Be ambitious, but not greedy. Be open-minded, but not confused. Be curious, but not distracted.
