I write about strength, nobility, and the way of the masculine man.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

Welcome to the Strong-Pilled corner of X.

All masculinity.

No AI.

No rage-bait.

Just your daily dose of manly wisdom and inspiration.

And occasional pop culture nostalgia.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@TonyLardarello Yes, potential isn't enough. It has to be realized, and it takes work.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

One of the hardest things I've learned is to have patience with people. They're doing the best they can.

Don't put up with them treating you badly. Meet them where they are and just realize they will have flaws that may annoy you.

But get rid of useless people.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@SIGMAPROFESSOR Definitely a skill issue.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@Kpaxs Give yourself permission to act without permission.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@Masc_Empire Neediness is a turn-off.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@TonyLardarello True, and with enough self-control and consistency, you can develop skills equal to talent.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@MasculinePeak It's a dangerous but effective crash course in economy, for sure.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

The secret of success isn't knowledge, how-to guides, or courses.

It's action and consistency. Momentum.

It's doing things regularly that move you towards your goals. and never giving up.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

If you're waiting for your real life to begin, it's already begun.

If you're waiting for the perfect time, it's now.

Stop preparing. Stop waiting. Start living.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

Being detached doesn't mean you don’t care.

It means you're not too attched to an outcome. You're not needy.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

If you're going to do something, do it with confidence.

There's always a chance of failing.

So what? Until you're dead, there's always another chance.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

If there's something you want or need, don't waste time and energy worrying about it.

Stop procrastinating and just take the next viable step towards it, no matter how small.

You're procrastinating right now. Go do something worthy. After reading my posts :)

@VivaldiVril It's the new version of metrosexual.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@AvantPrince_ Become the hero in your own story.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@re4mat0r True, some of the biggest idiots I know are delusionally confident.

Getting competent may increase confidence, but it's not a prerequisite.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@Brian_The_Stoic The only shortcut is consistency, which takes a while to compound.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@colejaczko "Remember that's it's all a game" is a good mantra. Act accordingly.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@SolBrah Complaining makes you weak and solves nothing. It lets you off the hook.

As problems arise, fix them if possible.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

The world is better now than it ever has been in most ways.

Don't let the comforts blind you to the problems of the modern age.

Getting too comfortable can be a problem itself.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

@SagoLabsVC Right on.

[Scott Praetor @ScottPraetor]

Not everything that happens to you is your fault.

But it becomes your responsibility.

You can't control everything, but you can take control of how you react.
