Young sir I hope you have some self respect. Don’t deter your life with an abundant amount of it for the reason that it will be perceived by the outside as egocentrism. Don’t have to little or none of it, because then people will find you to be a black hole of downer-ism. Having trouble riding this wave? Let’s talk about the two areas, how to solve it and then check out the hook while my DJ spins it.

OD’ed on Self Respect

Keep yourself in check. No one is perfect, and if you bask in your awesomeness you’ll only end up being hated by people. When you receive compliments show gratitude and delete it from your head. Feeding off of this for self love is a one-way-ticket to assholeville. It is hard to notice when you have climbed your own pedestal. The best way to take a step back is to remember your flaws. We all have them. If I find myself quite happy about where I am, I knock back by writing down my flaws. I’ll share some with you to help out how to check yourself before you wreck your vehicle.

1. Shut up, you tell too many stories. Spend more time listening.
2. You’re not a 10/10. You’re bald, have a 20% body fat ratio, and have a crooked nose.
3. You forgot your collar stays this morning. Way to be clean cut.
4. Your breakfast had cheese and a little potato in it. Welcome to Failureville, Population you.

I seriously could go on, but you get the point. Everyone is flawed. I think it’s what makes us beautiful in this world. It’s our flaws that separate us from the animals. Without them we could not aspire to be bigger and better. Remembering your flaws helps you become indestructible and humble at the same time.

Oh Lord, why let me keep breathing

Get out of bed, brush your teeth and go for a freaking run. Sure you have flaws, but swimming in them only keeps you underwater and invisible to what’s around you. You must wake up and realize that we all wear them. It’s what we do with them in our lives to help move forward. Sure you were dating Jessica Alba and she dumped you for your best friend. Guess what. There are six billion people in the world and those were just two people. Your only flaw was to surround yourself with people who would do those actions to you. So now you can wake up and go find people that wouldn’t dare do something like that to you. If the situation that brought you down was so destructionably-devastating that you haven’t left your bed, I’ll only give you half of a day at most. After that, as your friend, I’d black-card you for wasting human life. We need you out there to fight the good fight for the gentleman world.

Where am I today?

I have great days, where I wake up at 5:00am on the dot and on fire for the gym. I have days where I want to call in sick and not leave my bed unless I have to go to the bathroom. Even that would be questionable, but I don’t want to ruin my mattress. It’s quite comfortable. That’s not the point. The point is to find out where you are and adjust to that perfect equilibrium. Catching yourself is the hardest part, but when you do, you’ll love it and be on a fast track to become a role model in the Gentleman world.
