See sig- we all gonna make it, but what it is is up to you.




If you don’t like what you made then start working on making something else.

How do you define "making it"? Go do whatever that is now. Does that need money? Work harder.

Dunno, doesn't seem like theres much to it.

“making it” and having a good life are not the same.


no one said we are gonna have a good life. Just that we will make it. What you do with the life you make, is up to you. Not us.

Behaving in a degenerate way also has nothing to do with “making it”.

Stop projecting insecurities. People love jumping on the opportunity to pretend to be better than someone.

Feel better about who you are as a person?

There is no "making it"

Billionaires still wake up every day chasing more money because they still think they haven't made it.


So either follow a passion or just lay down and rot

Today I’m the oldest I’ve ever been

I make more money than ever

I’m stronger than ever

I’m in better physical condition than ever

I’m married but get more attention from females than ever

I’m not better than anyone else. I’m better than I was yesterday.

Is everything perfect? Fuk no

Have I made it?

I don’t know. I don’t think so.

But what I do know is that I am not done yet

Are you done? Are you giving up? Are you fuking done or what?

Life is simple but not easy. If life isn’t working out for you then you need to identify the problems and correct them.

If you try to find meaning in your life through other people you're never going to make it.

Your sloot will get the seven year itch, fuk tyrone, take half your chit, your kids, your dog, your house. 70 percent of your future earnings, half your retirement, while you live in your car or a rented attic.

We're all going to make it brah.

Ah yes at that part of your life when you're starting to ask questions... Why? WTF am I doing?


The truth of our existence is nihilistic, some cope with religion or getting kids but in the end, nothing matters.

Enjoy your short existence on this rock, do as you wish, fail or succeed in life. I believe it's comforting knowing your actions ultimately do not matter.

Hard to say what you're doing wrong- but I think it's easier to say that you've been living the same lifestyle through most of your late teens and 20's and don't feel like you're on a path to "making it" so I would suggest you try something new.

When you think about someone who has "made it" what are you imagining? Do that. If it means more white-collar job (this chit is soul killing FYI) then do that. If it means internal peace and happiness then you need to find ways to get there. If it means slaying sloots and getting fukked up all the time then do that.

What do you think "making it" means?

Those who lay down and rot (most NEETs and wizards) are the true MARTYRS of the Human Condition.
Any thinking person understands that life is absurd. This is because life inherently lacks meaning and purpose, in and of itself.
Now, some people are lucky enough to never come to this realisation. This is because they are either too stupid to even consider it, or they are too happy with their lives to question life's meaning.
However, most normal people will eventually entertain the notion that life is absurd at some point in their life. This contemplation is usually precipitated by some form of stress in that person's life (death in the family, a break-up etc). Nevertheless, while the vast majority of people will eventually acknowledge this truth, almost all of them will then actively blind themselves to it. This blinding is achieved by creating their own meaning and purpose in life. Most people will create meaning by choosing to focus on relationships and child-rearing, while others will choose pursuits like ****ing STD-infected sluts, careers and hobbies, as well as intellectual acitivities like art, science and philosophy.
This choice itself is irrelevant. What matters is that these people have acknowledged the core truth that life is absurd, yet they willingly (or absentmindedly) choose to forget or downplay this truth by occupying their minds with these created meanings. To employ a metaphor, these people have chosen to 'pull the wool over their eyes' for the sake of whatever happiness they can eke out in their existence. There is nothing wrong with this. Created meaning is still meaning — this cannot be denied.
Nonetheless, created meaning is a secondary meaning. The only primary meaning in life is this: Life is absurd.

My contention here today is that the act of forgetting primary meaning is itself a BETRAYAL of primary meaning. It is a betrayal of the fact that life is absurd.
Those who have chosen to lay down and rot have embarked on a life where the realisation of primary meaning is a daily, if not hourly, occurrence. Through either choice or circumstance, those who LDAR live a life that is mostly free from the distractions of created meaning. Sex, relationships, child-rearing: All of these common secondary meanings are absent.
As a result, those who lay down and rot will embrace the truth more frequently than the blissfully ignorant. Those who LDAR are HEROIC and VIRTUOUS in their constant acknowledgment of the truth, while those who forget are steeped in their BETRAYAL of primary meaning.
Those who LDAR will die contemplating the fact that life is absurd. And what is martyrdom but death for an ideal? We are MARYTRS, my friends. We are holy.

don’t listen to that self righteous pearl clutching man.

He doesn’t have anything you do not.

It comes down to mindset. And only mindset.


Here let me try…..


You actually are making it and you have been this entire time. Have you been prospering? No. Do you have trouble? Sure. Are you making it? Absolutely.

The only reason why you think you are not is because you think you are not.

There is a natural tendency humans have to focus on negative aspects of life. It is called the negativity bias. Evolutionally speaking, this can be a benefit in that if we are concentrating on negative things, we will prevent them from happening, increasing the potential satisfaction of our lives.

However, spending so much time/energy subconsciously obsessed with all the bad in the world can be detrimental. It leads to depression and anxiety, interpersonal security dilemmas and trust issues. It doesn’t create the ego, but it creates tm a place for the ego to flourish. It has such a significant impact on us mentally, it has effects on us physically. High blood pressure, etc.

The good news is we can break it, kind of easy. Easy enough at least to make the small amount of work required to do it, worth the reward. It does take work though.

Try this….
Before bed, think about three positive things that happened to you that day. They don’t have to be significant like a raise or engagement, just positive. Someone held the door for you, someone let you in front of them in traffic, you saw someone do something good for another person and it didn’t even involve you. You woke up, and if only a little bit, you tried.

Just prove to yourself that good things happen everyday. They do, you just have to show yourself. Set an alarm to do this at first. Take the time and do it.

After not too long, it will be habitual. You will acknowledge the positive aspects of life without even trying. It just happens.

This is only one example of many. I promise, to have a better life, you don’t even have to change anything. Just look at your life differently.

Next, identity. Your behavior is not you or your life. Your behavior can be altered easily while you remain intact as a person. There is no need to be afraid of changing behavior, if you feel the need, even completely.

May I ask about your daily habits? What do your mornings look like? Do you “snooze”?

Your thoughts are not you or your life. Your thoughts can be altered easily while you remain intact as a person. There is no need to be afraid of changing thoughts, if you feel the need, even completely.

Your thoughts and emotions drive your behavior and the consequences of your behavior. This is where our insanity as humans comes into play. Many times we “know” what the right thing to do is, but our current mindsets, habits, perspective, prevent us from acting on it.

So it is imperative we keep our thoughts and emotions in check. Again, this is easily doable with some work and practice.


Have you ever took the time to sit down and exercise your mind and emotions like we do our bodies? A lot of people do not. This can help.

This.

Making it is a mindset, having 'made it' is mindset.

Going by your post, you clearly haven't made it yet in your mind, and that's ok. You're exactly where you're supposed to be right now, and now it's time for you to sit down... map out what making it means to you and find that path. It starts in the micro - the small daily things that add up day after day. For some, progress is just getting up and getting out of bed. For others its getting dressed. For you, maybe it's not having that next drink, or maybe it's just opening your eyes a bit to see the world outside of your day to day and really reflect on what making it is to you.

It's time, you're gonna make it.

life is great when your accomplishments start stacking up and momentum is built. You will know it when it happens.
If it hasn't happened, worry less about when its going to happen and worry more about stacking accomplishments.
