Young Me …
All your life, you have been looking for an answer. You feel that you are different from other people. You know that you think differently. The truth is that you are different. You have been given a hard life because you can handle it. You have no idea how strong you become inside. However, the hard stuff is just beginning. The longer you live, the more pain you will experience, and you will lose everything you love over and over. The crazy part is, you are strong enough to cope with it all, so you go on and on. You grow old. And that is the secret to whether you live a good life, or a bad life. People who think that they can die at any moment act out of your emotions and make huge life mistakes. They have babies, join gangs, do drugs, get minimum wage jobs instead of careers. When those kinds of people grow old, they are hot wrecks… usually homeless. The truth is, they are very scared and very wrong: you end up living a very long life, and if you want it to be a good life, all you have to do is play the long game, and plan for a successful future. Plan to retire by the age of 50 (yes, one day you will be 50 years old!), so that you can spend all of your 50s, 60s and 70s traveling all over and seeing all the beauty of our planet. Life is much more than the street you grew up playing on.
I just literally gave you the secret to winning at life. So don’t be afraid. Be the successful person that you deserve to be. And all that stuff you think is cool now, all those dudes you see as “cool dudes,” you grow out of all of that stuff, and you come to realize that none of those guys are confident, they act how they act because they are very scared, and they have no idea who they are or why they are here. But we know. Cool cars, nice houses, beautiful women, lots of money, awesome friends, businesses, it is all coming your way. Whatever you ever wanted, you will have some day. I have already had all of that and have even lived in other states. So don’t worry about your future and imagine person you will be 30 years from now. What career do you have? How many houses and businesses do you own? What kind of cars do you have? What does your backyard look like? Do the friends you have over to your house look like your friends now, or are they more mature? What is your status going to be? Married? To whom? Be realistic, now…Ha Ha!
Finally, so we have made some mistakes with our life. We have a problem with authority right now, I get it. But look, man, look at the laws of America like this: you could do anything that you want to do in this country as long as what you do causes no harm to yourself or others. If you can remember that you will have an easy relationship with the law. Just use your good judgment and take care! | YC
