The misc is a great place to read posts because it has such a wide range of people from different locations, races, age groups, values and beliefs etc who all have had different life experiences, but we all share a common interest of bodybuilding, exercising in general or dieting.
Everyone in this thread share a lesson YOU have learned in life so far through your experiences.
I'll start:
Cut out everyone from your life who brings you negativity, even if it leaves you with no friends. You will make new ones with similar interests if you do what interests you.
I done this with most of my friends who I had throughout high school years after I left. I realised we had nothing in common anymore because they were in pursuit of something different from their life than me. They used to bring me a lot of negativity because I didn't go out drinking with them and go clubbing, I received a lot of insults from them. I hate clubbing and getting wasted didn't interest me (not because of diet). I would rather chill myself and drink 1 beer watching a movie than go to a bar and get smashed.
Once I cut them out completely I had no "friends" I could go out with but I quickly made new ones I liked better because I met them through a similar interest. I started going to the gym instead of using my chitty home gym and met some sick people there with similar interests and some of us go for a post workout meal a few times a week. I met other people at uni on my course who were chill. I go to watch my local football team and met some dudes there and now we all go to games together.
The point I'm making is not to be afraid to cut out people from your life who bring you negativity because you will meet new people who you have more in common through doing what interests you. Do what YOU want to do. I have even cut out my cousin because of the negativity he brought me. Surround yourself with people who positively impact you and do the same with them.
Don't expect to see positive changes in your life if you surround yourself with negative people. Surround yourself with people who only lift you up, life is full of people who want to bring you down.
*Cliffs- surround yourself with only positive people. Cut out people who bring you down.

> The only thing that makes you cling to any one particular girl is your own brain. There's nothing special about that girl. You WILL feel those feels sometime again, so don't worry about it.
> If you dislike your degree or your general career path, stop what you're doing and change. Seems like common sense, but it's easy to get 'railroaded' in your own mind thinking youre stuck on this same path just because of some fleeting decisions in your early 20's. I'm 26 and back at uni doing engineering, and i'm phucking loving it. Happiest i've been in years after making that decision.

If you ever get into a long term relationship and manage to fall for someone deeply, make the most of it every single day because someday you might just not ever see them again, until you realize how much that said person impacted your life...May sound Beta but it's true.
Moral of the story...don't undervalue anything that you enjoy in life and make the most of it, because one day you may just lose it for you to only realize how **** your life is afterwards once it's gone, this goes for anything..not just relationships.

Money isn't that important beyond what you need to live the way you want. My dad is an attorney, grandpa is an attorney, pop-pop is dentist, uncle is dentist. All the men in my family are CEOin. I grew up with everything I could possibly need. Vacation homes at that Jersey shore, and a private beach in Maine. Trips all over the world. The list goes on. But my ballin dad asked me a question a few years ago. I was talking about how I wanted to make chitloads of cash so I could do the things I want. He says, "do you enjoy sitting outside with some good music and a book like we are now?" I said yeah. He asks, "Do you enjoy going to concerts, and playing guitar?" I said of course. He asks, "Do you have a good time chillin with friends and family?" I said obviously. And his response was epic. He asks me, "What do I spend all of MY time doing? And how much do you think that costs?"
I was floored, because my dad showed me that just because I CAN make lots of money, doesn't mean I need it. I live on my own now, I have plenty saved because my family taught me well. I make music for a living, and I scrape by, but I wouldn't have it any other way.Here for the gains.
We're all gonna make it brah.

Let me tell you about two types of people in this world
- There is the person who thinks that happiness and success is from a predetermined set of rules to follow, hoops to jump through, milestones (grade threshold, degree level, etc.) to reach. They will follow these steps to the end, will never deviate from them, will panic and stress and feel life is ending when they fail to live up to their established plan. Their mindset is never "I will do this, which I enjoy, and it will help me in the path I've paved" but rather "This will help me in the path I've paved...therefore I enjoy it". They have drive and willpower and work effort and will undoubtedly get to their goal
- There is the person who thinks that happiness and success is whatever you make of it. They go as they please, believing in the pursuit of what is enjoyable, desirable in the moment. They do not believe in the established path, decrying it as useless to their pursuit of happiness and purposely avoiding it. Conventional wisdom and procedures of life, to them, are a waste of time. They don't plan their future, but live in the eternal present
Both are fools

Don't get into a job/career just because you may make a lot of money. It's a terrible feeling to dread going to bed every night because you know that when you wake up you have to go back to doing something you absolutely hate.

If someone in a position of power has someone you need or want and they don't want to help you, then go above them. There is always a way and exceptions can always be made.
Get rid of negative thinking.
Don't fully give your opinion on subjects or ideas that don't pertain to your company. Keeping your mouth shut and your ears open tends to open up more opportunity.
