Or rather, simply grow up and move on.

Listen, too many guys (and girls honestly) need to grow up these days. You've either got things too easy, or you hang on to hatred and bitterness that you should let go of, or you don't open your eyes to the world around you.

I don't care WHAT you've been through in the past. If you don't move past THESE conditions, you will NEVER grow up and be an adult or live the full life you CAN and should.

As far as PUA goes, you'll never find a good, quality girl at this rate. As far as life goes, you'll never find that quality, happy life that you truly want. Not unless you move past these issues.

"You don't know me." "You don't know my life." "You have no idea what I've been through." "You haven't seen the hell I've seen." "You don't have the family I've got." "You didn't have the upbringing I had." "You didn't go to the schools I went to." "You haven't been in the horrendous places I've been." "You haven't had to sacrifice the way I have." "You haven't had the setbacks I've had." "You haven't had your life on the line, with death being in front of your face."

You know what? Every single one of these are excuses. I hear them. And, you know something else? I'VE LIVED THEM. Yeah, you have no idea what kind of life I'VE lived either. So, you're excuses, your attitudes, your bitchiness, your childish ways don't fly with me. In fact, I'VE personally been through a couple of experiences that weren't even listed in those excuses above.

So, whatever your crutch is, get over it. You will never, and I repeat, never grow up as long as you hold onto that crutch. Period. End of discussion.

But, since we're still here . . . let me add something to this. Something meaningful. Something thought provoking. Are you ready for this?

It's never as good as it looks, or as bad as it seems.

Seriously.

Can you grasp the full meaning of this? In other words, if you've been on your death bed, barely escaping with your life . . . "it's never as good as it looks or as bad as it seems". It's just an experience that you've had that CAN help you to be a BETTER person, IF you learn from it.

The flip side. If you're a multi-billionaire . . . "it's never as good as it looks or as bad as it seems". Granted, being that wealthy has it's perks. But, it's not all peaches and cream either. There ARE definite downsides. It's, again, something you can learn from and grow with.

So screw your excuses, grow up, and learn from your experiences. Be a BETTER person because of what you've been through. Not a bitter one. Not a hermit. Not an angry, irritable, wanna fight everyone person. Not a 13 year old in a 45 year old body.

Grow up. Live life. Enjoy life to it's fullest. LIFE isn't stopping you from doing that . . . YOU are stopping you from doing that.

Great post. I could not agree more. Without going into too much detail, I have been through A LOT these past two years and I think I needed this swift kick in the ass.

The hardships you go through should better you, not define you.

People truly are their worst enemies.

Hey Tripp, have you noticed how many entitlement complexes there are out there these days as well? I just find it interesting that they've increased along with the rampant excuses for failure. Failure = Entitlement. I'd be concerned if it wasn't just so damn fun to pick apart with some slapcheck reframing. I'm tempted to conceal a camcorder, record some of the expressions I get, and e-mail you a few laughs.

I have noticed that. Pretty pathetic in my book. Nobody can get off their lazy butt . . . grrr. LOL.

Now that would be a much needed laugh. I'd love to share that, lol.

That's true dude, one of my favorite saying is, "what life may we call death, that in death we may call life." Meaning exactly what you say, if someone were on their deathbed they'd realize that the life they had wasn't that bad, that in the end they had the power and opportunity to change it all in any way they wanted, and also wish for it again. I think people just gotta stop being greedy, wanting things they're too afraid to get, and then complaning about it. If life is tough... tough shit, go and be happy. No one's stopping anybody, right? So, well put brother, keep on teaching.

One more thing, I think one thing people should also grow up about is the idea of Mr. and Mrs. perfect that most of us create when we were young. After growing up I realized that was one of the worst misconceptions in my life.
