Do you want to achieve more in life? Good, you’re in the right place. I’m going to share something that most people won’t like or even find offense but hey, in the end, it’s your choice what you do with it. Choosing means losing and I’m not going to lose my ambition because others hate me or gossip about me. People will think you’re ignorant when you apply this but like I stated before, it’s you who has to make the choice.
Normally I wouldn’t devote a post to this subject but I witnessed something today that made me realize that some people will need it.
I was at the grocery store waiting in line and before me, there was a mother with her daughter. The daughter was happy that school was over and that she could play outside. The mother looked angry, maybe even frustrated by life. I don’t know why and I don’t care to be honest. But there’s one thing that’s 100% certain, she hasn’t read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (read here why you should read it). The daughter noticed that her mother was looking unhappy and asked why she was so unhappy. The mother replied pretty briefly, stating that she was unhappy thanks to her daughter. “I would be a lot happier if you would leave me alone for just a second.” was her response. I can assure you that that little girl her happiness was crushed after she heard that.
This mother was good at something that most people master. They master the art of blaming others. They master the art of gossiping about others. Those people throw tons of hate to others.
Well, we’re dealing with normal people once again.
So they master a ton of things but what are we going to master? Well, just one thing: the art of not giving a fuck.
Achieve more in life by realizing this
I wrote a whole post about the fact that a guy hated on my blog and he did something that most people do. They project their fears upon you and they do it more than once. They don’t want you to succeed because of this simple logic: if I can’t do it, you can’t do it either.
So what do we tell these people? You tell them: just watch me. Give them your biggest smirk when you’re telling them this. But there’s more, there’s a lot more.
Most people are freaking bored and will do anything to get the attention of others. I’ve had a family member who told me that someone he knew checked out my Instagram. I was wondering where this conversation would lead so I just kept on listening. He told me that she showed him my account and that he noticed some shirtless pictures. So he started laughing and called me a showoff. He also claimed that Zero To Alpha was a dumb name and didn’t get where it came from.
Well if he had read the about me section on this blog you would have known that I was going to share them. He could follow the link on my Instagram to my blog but he didn’t. It was all about getting the precious attention.
He didn’t get any attention to be honest.
It’s all about doing the least effort to 99% of the people
Most people create their unhappiness. I wrote about it in my previous post but it doesn’t stop there. Most people don’t want to do any effort to change things so what do they do? They blame others for their unhappiness. They project all their hate and frustration towards others. This could be their kids, spouse…
Be realistic and just admit that there’s only one person that you should blame. The only person that you should blame is yourself. Don’t be a pussy and face reality.
Achieve more in life be true to the real you
Most people are constantly wondering what others think of them but they forget one thing. The others have no clue what they should think about their selves. Don’t be fooled by their theatrical appearance. It’s all smoke and mirrors when they pull out a façade when they trying to show you how confident they are.
The post about normal people was written to help a friend.
The same goes for the post about the fact that I stopped drinking alcohol.
She asked me how I was able to deal with all the hate so I wrote two posts about it. I’m confident in who I am and I know who I’m not or don’t want to be.
There’s nothing wrong with having some confidence. Most people will call it arrogance because they’re the ones who’re insecure.
Don’t be arrogant (aka insecure) but be confident in who you are. You’ll be a lot happier I can guarantee you that one.
So be true to the real you. Don’t be afraid to show it to the world. But Alex, what about the opinion of others? Well, let’s dive into the last part of this post just to make sure that you achieve more in life.
Achieve more in life and don’t give a flying fuck
Make a bucket list or write down a future goal that you want to achieve. Don’t be afraid to chase your dreams. You just need to stop worrying about others and their petty feelings. Not everybody can like you.
I used to be the guy that wanted to please everybody and this was the biggest mistake of my life. I wanted to be liked by 99% of all the people. But I stopped doing it because it was useless. 99% of the people don’t like me but that’s okay since I don’t like 99% of the people. It’s a win-win.
You will never accomplish a single thing if you don’t leave this mental prison. I won’t apologize for posting a shirtless picture. I won’t explain why I do it, I just do it.
Hate all you want but I won’t quit writing blog posts. Why would I?!
The worst thing about giving in about other people’s hate is that they tell you that they knew you would give in.
Be confident in what you do and let the hate just pass by.
Show what you’re made off and don’t give a flying fuck (yes even the little girl should do this).
That’s all for today

Man. What’s up with all the negative people out there? We all have a bad day once in a while but some people seem to just be miserable every day
I think there’s something in the water over here. I’m happy that I bought a filter. Yeah some people really are the walking dead
