Man-Up

I’d hold you up to say to your mother, “this kid’s gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid’s gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew.” And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilige. Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you’re no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that! I’m always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You’re my son and you’re my blood. You’re the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain’t gonna have a life.

– Rocky Balboa

This process changes – and usually improves – the life of every man who even attempts it. Here’s the best part: You can channel that change and focus it on your sex life, if you choose to, and it will get you laid. IF you do it correctly, that is…. and don’t cheat.

Here’s how: you have a primal, almost irresistible urge to procreate. That biological urge, when mixed with your testosterone, is intended to motivate you to jump out of bed in the morning ready to fight and fuk your way through the herd, leaving vanquished foes and satiated hoes in your wake. Unfortunately, our advanced brains and opposable thumbs over time have discovered an almost perfect and flawless cheat: Masturbation. After all, it’s so much easier, so much less of a hassle, to simply cut all the corners, skip through the level, and polish that platinum trophy really fast until the end credits roll.

Here’s where this wonderful thing we’re discovering called NoFap comes in: You, being the horny, over-sexed, perverted woman crazy fiend that you are, have a choice in how you get off.: Your hand or a vagina. You may feel like only one of those choices is viable, but that’s merely because it’s the EASY choice, so it appears to be the preferred one. Guess what: If you actually stop jerking off, and I mean STOP – eliminate it as a possibilty from your life (as I and many others have) – your sex starved brain and testicles will literally lead you out into the world and between the legs of a female. It just HAPPENS. Try it, you numbskull. You’ll see that I speak the truth.

Echo Charles :  “How do you deal with setbacks, failures, delays, defeats, or other disasters?”

Jocko Willink :  “I actually have a fairly, simple way of dealing with these situations. It’s actually one word to deal with these situations…

And that is “Good”.

This is actually something that one of my direct subordinates, that worked for me, pointed out to me. He would call me up, pull me aside with some major problem, some issue that was going on…

He would say “Boss, we have this, and that, and another thing…”

And I would say “Good”.

Finally one day, he was telling me about an issue that he was having, some problem…

He said “I already know what you’re going to say.”

And I said “Well, what am I going to say?”

“You’re going to say ‘Good’. That’s what you always say. When something is wrong and going bad, you always just look at me and say ‘Good’ .”

And I said…

“Well yeah and I mean it.”

And that is how I feel. When things are going bad, there’s going to be some good that is going to come from it…

Oh, the mission got cancelled? — Good…. We can focus on the other one.

Didn’t get the new high speed gear we wanted? — Good…. We can keep it simple.

Didn’t get promoted? — Good…. More time to get better.

Didn’t get funded? — Good…. We own more of the company.

Didn’t get the job you wanted? — Good…. You can get more experience and build a better resume.

Got injured? — Good… Needed a break from training.

Got tapped out? — Good…. It’s better to tap out in training, then tap out in the street.

Got beat? — Good…. You learned.

Unexpected problems? — Good…. We have the opportunity to figure out a solution.

That’s it. When things are going bad, don’t get all bummed out, don’t get startled, don’t get frustrated…. No.

You just look at the issue and you say “Good”.

And I don’t mean to say something all cliché and I don’t mean to sound like “Mr. Positive”. Find the positive, but do that! Focus on the good. Take that issue, take that problem, and make it something good. It’ll bring that attitude to your team too! You go forward.

And lastly, to close this out. If you can say the word “Good”, guess what….it means you’re still alive. It means you’re still breathing. And if you’re still breathing, well then you still got some fight left in you.

So get up, dust off, reload, recalibrate, reengage, and go out on the attack!

And that right there is about as Good as it gets. “

"As I gain followers I’ve found it’s important to make sure everyone knows what I am about. People swing by my page for different reasons with different expectations and you’re all welcome. That being said please know, among my others interests and passions, first, foremost and unequivocally I am a bowhunter. I train everyday for one reason, to be the most effective bowhunter I can possibly be. Being “effective” as a bowhunter means when I head out on a hunt, from the plains to the mountains, my goal is to harvest an animal. “Harvest” means kill it with an arrow. So, yes there will be photos of dead animals on this page (from grizzly bear to bull elk), but with the death of my quarry life is sustained and just maybe souls are enriched by this powerful illustration of the circle of life? I know mine is. All the meat from the animals I kill goes to my to freezer and feeds either me, my friends, my family or is donated to a homeless shelter to feed those that need it more than me. And, their antlers, hides and skulls are displayed in my home to honor their life and memory of the hunt. If this makes me a “trophy hunter” so be it. I feel respect for the animals I hunt and I feel empowered and more “alive” than any other time in my life as I roam the country they call home with a bow in my hand and a sharp knife on my belt. If the fact that I am an ethical and merciful hunter and share in my complete journey as a hunter, including the kill and butchering of this beautifully organic harvest, bothers you please leave. If you’re here as a lifelong hunter or a new hunter who like me takes self-sufficient ownership over the death of the animals I eat, welcome."
