“Happiness is not the reward of virtue, but is virtue itself; nor do we delight in happiness because we restrain from our lusts; but on the contrary, because we delight in it, therefore we are able to restrain them.”

Trying to control what you cannot control will traumatize the way your brain responds to uncertainty. The illusion of control: what a fool believes.
Girl:
Master, why is it if a man sleeps with many women he is a legend, but if a woman sleeps with many men she is a slut?
Master:
You see my child, if a key opens many locks it is a master key. But if a lock is opened by many keys it is a shiitty lock.
What a woman thinks of you is none of your business.
What anyone thinks of you is none of your business.
"If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."
Shatter the illusion, own yourself. Confidence goes a long way.
You can be creatively imaginative, or destructively imaginative. Both are just as easy. You choose which skill to hone. Imagine success or failure, whichever you choose your nervous system will believe you.
The mind that tells you about the world is the same mind that reacts to the world. Believe you are under attack by a bear and your nervous system pumps you full of adrenaline and draws blood to your legs for running. This happens regardless of whether the bear is really there. The reaction is to your belief, your imagination, not to reality. And you have complete control over your imagination.
There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
If you catch yourself seeking praise, stop, and focus on a higher calling. Praise is the goal of weak minds, and the spur of noble ones.
People: "oh you two broke up?"
A man: "naw she's broke, I'm up."
An interesting woman isn't convenient and a convenient woman isn't interesting.
The most free man is validated from within.
The more circumstances upset you and the more frustrated you feel, the more disconnected you become from reality. The better thinker, fighter, builder, lover will always be the more calm and calculated. When you can solve problems without identifying with them you become untouchable.
Work with your mind in the direction your heart compels you and never stop for any woman. Your passion always comes first. Any good woman will know this and you'll feel she's a helpful joy, not a ball and chain. The compatible woman will come to your side effortlessly.
Think about the past and future, but identify only with this moment.
Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.
The novice blames others, the expert blames himself, the master blames no one.
The greatest mistake a man can make is to be afraid of making one. -
