The ugly truth about why .5% of men make it and most live sh!t lives...
Is that you can't work or motivate yourself to success.
You have to create a metaphoric gun to your head with a very real mental bullet. An outcome that is up there with death.
Let me explain:
You won't see growth in your life... personal or in income... from motivation. You can't willpower it either.
You will see it when you've endured enough pain that you have truly had enough and refuse to stay as you are.
Most men only stop drinking when it makes their life unbearable.
Most men only choose to take big risks and become successful when they reach a breaking point from the work they are stuck in.
I for example NEVER wanted to be an entrepreneur growing up. It wasn't till I was 22, broke and stuck and hating my job, that I literally couldn't live any longer in my current situation. I didn't want to build a business. I had to. My life was unbearable due to where coasting had gotten me.
Only when "at any cost, I can't live like this anymore" becomes your motivation will you see huge growth.
The way to achieve this is by removing what numbs you. The things that stop you from looking in the mirror and going "what the fucking fuck."
The cheap dopamine, cheap thrills, booze/pot/junk that leave you foggy and unclear. The things that let you feel okay, despite your life being very much "not okay" if you actually look it in the eye.
Most men never do this. They never look at the things they CHOOSE accept about themselves. Poor health. Poor habits. Awful results in everything.
They just open a beer, load up a video game, scroll social media and bury it. This is because looking at how ugly you are is hard. The best way to ensure you stay metaphorically fat and disgusting is simply to not look in the mirror.
You have to look at who you truly are and feel such disgust that you will no longer tolerate staying where you are.
Without this you will only get temporary bursts. You will only make do on willpower, which is finite.
Something close to a gun to your head must be created in your mind. You must vehemently reject who and what you are to the point that it keeps you up at night.
Then you'll simply make whatever you want happen.
This is why most men never unlock their potential till they hit rock bottom. Most, despite WANTING success, are always in a numb state of "mostly" comfortable. The years then pass, they get old, nothing changes.
Whatever it takes to trigger this. Do it.
The answer isn't a self help book. It isn't researching and admiring other role models. It isn't envisioning a better life and mapping out daily steps to get there.
It's unbridled-unholy-rage as a result of where your life choices have gotten you.
This won't sustain you forever....But shit damn...It will guaranteed get you over the initial hurtle and to the point where "love of the game" will carry you.
Like I said before, it usually comes down to removing everything that is distracting and numbing you so that you are forced to look at yourself for who you truly are.

@0xSim0@Contango_xyz@eulerfinance@pendle_fi Love the breakdown and good looks on Contango, hadn't seen them till seeing your post.
Have you seen any real gains from Contango though? Been in a high APY position for a few weeks and the 'value' hasn't budged at all.
@phtevenstrong@syrupfi@Contango_xyz Have you seen any gains from Contango? I've been in a high APY position for a few weeks now and the value hasn't budged (other than small oracle price swings).
@looping_col why is there always such a big discrepancy between the wHLP monthly APY and the @HyperliquidX HLP monthly APR?
Different dates for the trailing month? Will they ever equalize?

@StargateFinance Is something wrong with the USDT(ETH) > USDT0(Plasma) OFT route? I keep getting this error "Transaction failed execution reverted" when I try to bridge. Happens any volume, any settings.
Would like to play around on @Plasma but can't get funds over.
Bitcoin-backed loans on @MorphoLabs crossed $0.5B+ in collateral. Total loan originations grew $100M → $300M+ in just a month.
In other words, the DeFi mullet is going vertical.
🚨 BREAKING: JPMorgan settles its first transaction on a public blockchain using Chainlink and Ondo to move tokenized treasuries beyond its private network.
@proofoftalk@trondao Can confirm, some shops in Argentina accept USDT and TRX, also seen signs in Brazil and Paraguay to exchange PIX (local Venmo) for USDT
