oudYou probably think that I’m mad when I tell you that you should face struggle. Struggle isn’t that bad, it makes or breaks you. It all depends on how you deal with your adversity and if you ever learn anything from it. Do you think that a real man always gets lucky when he dates? The answer is simple: NO. There are some things you just can’t control and dating is the perfect example. People like to nag and complain when life gets a bit tougher. We’re all becoming spineless pussies that accept whatever comes around. We just let the problems keep on coming but we won’t learn anything if we don’t take action. You can’t sit down and watch life go by. Read More

Are you the hero of your movie? Wait for what?  I mean are you living the life that you’ve always imagined living? It’s easy if you have no clue what you want in life. You can’t be disappointed if you haven’t got a goal in life. But would the hero of your movie do nothing? Would the hero be someone who stays in bed all day? Would it be someone who doesn’t kick start his/her day the right way? I guess that we can conclude that the answer is no?! Read More

Be curious, not judgmental. It’s a simple quote by Walt Whitman but so many people don’t seem to get it. They’re part of the herd and the herd is pretty judgmental. Those people are the so-called experts and can’t see the world from another perspective. Oh, the “normal people” entertain me every time they speak or share their expertise. Those people wouldn’t even get the real meaning behind this quote. It means that you should be open-minded instead of close-minded. Still, so many people are the latter. Let’s see how this can wreck your whole life and sometimes the lives of others. Read More

The nice guy will always finish last. This is a saying that so many guys don’t seem to get. They don’t know how to act these days so they act like a nice guy or the wannabe tough guy. Those guys want to be liked by everybody but they don’t realize that this behavior has the opposite effect. Those guys finish last due to their actions. People will walk over them and they’ll have no clue why it happened. Those guys crumble when a girl tells them that they’re “such a nice guy”. You know what this means right? You’ve just entered the friend zone once again my friend. You’re just one of the guys. Good luck getting out of that situation. Spoiler alert: you won’t. Read More

The subtle art of not giving a fuck is a book that has been written by Mark Manson (buy it here). Famous people like Chris Hemsworth (on his Instagram), Brandon Carter (popular YouTuber) …. recommend this book. The problem is that it’s easy to tell others to not give a fuck. Most people even admire people who’re able to do it but they can’t do it themselves. It’s not that hard, to be honest. You just have to realize the mindset behind it. Now I already devoted a blog post about it but I needed to write a second one (read the first one here). I came to this conclusion while I was researching about Stoicism and found a blog post about this subject. Read More

This may come as a shocker to you but being busy doesn’t equal a successful lifestyle. Most people assume that the busiest people are the most successful but those people get nothing done. You can watch television all day but that doesn’t mean that you’re going to get anything done. Most people use the “I’m too busy” excuse way too often in my opinion. You have to read between the lines when it comes to this one. Those people just don’t consider it as a priority but use the no time excuse to cancel on you or other things.  Read More

Are you using your phone way too much? It’s possible since most people are social media zombies. I’m the lucky guy who has friends who don’t use their phone so much. I even have a friend who recently deleted her Facebook because she was sick of it. But I have something even more impressive. There’s a guy who takes me to the MMA training sessions and he was recently using an old phone. A phone with buttons instead of a touchscreen. So I asked him if he had lost his smartphone. He told me that he had bought that type of phone because he felt that his phone was killing his productivity but there’s more. Read More

Have you ever heard of the 3 generation rule? Probably not since I called it this way. The theory behind it is from someone else though. Socrates was the man behind the theory. Firas Zahabi mentioned this on the Inside Quest podcast and it got me thinking. I wrote a post about the fact that the craving for comfort is a threat to society. I suddenly realized that it was only the tip of a much larger iceberg. So I just had to write a post about it since it solves some questions that we had for centuries. Pretty crazy right. Let’s dive into the generations. Read More

Have you ever had to deal with rejection? Of course, you have. Don’t lie to yourself. You don’t have cover model looks and you don’t have my looks so it’s normal. 99% of the people aren’t that attractive. That’s just a matter of genetics but beauty is the worst trait that you can possess in life. You’re fucked if you’re not smart as well. Most people just can’t handle rejection and completely freak out when it happens. I wrote a whole post about women and exes and some people still didn’t get it afterward. It’s pretty weird how childish people can react to rejection. Their whole world collapses and they freak out like a little bitch. It’s sad and pathetic at the same time. I have just one tip for these guys: shut up, step up and man the f@ck up. Read More

I recently visited Stockholm with a buddy and it was only a matter of time before I wrote a blog post about it. You see I wrote a blog post about the fact that traveling can be a form of escapism. So most people were assuming that I was escaping a job in a factory but I wasn’t. I didn’t have to escape anything. I just wanted to visit that city anyway and I wanted to train MMA over there. Some top competitors come from Sweden so I figured that I could improve even more by training there. Oh, I also wanted to interview Alexander Gustafsson; he’s a top MMA fighter for those of you who don’t know him. Well, enough chit-chat let’s see what happened during the trip. Read More
