Sometimes you are forced to go through an entire year where you feel you have no control over your time or life, no matter what you do. It’s like you’re in the military service or prison or something. Sometimes it’s a boring job where you can’t afford to quit at the moment because you need the money. Sometimes it’s a random thing that is just time consuming that you have to deal with on a day-to-day basis. It could be any kind of annoying thing that makes you unable to be productive, or remain in a good mood for long every single day. During that wasted time or period in your life, which again could be years, you are supposed to do nothing but focus on how can I get out of this period in my life with maximum or the highest productivity and rate of growth, progress, achievement, and success possible.

I know people nowadays demonize making everything about success. But during those dark periods of your life, you have to focus on nothing but success. Productivity, achievement, accomplishment, success, high performance, and progress, should all be your highest priority, during any time or period of your life, where you feel that no matter what you do, your time or life is being wasted anyway, against your will, no matter what you do, through no fault of your own. Everything should be about moving the needle forward, at maximum rate humanly possible, by any means necessary.

You have to make it so whenever you look back at this dark period of your life, you cannot afford to say anything but, you certainly couldn’t have been more creative, productive, and successful in your life, even if you had all the time in the world. You couldn’t have made more progress in any given year, more than you did in any single year of those dark years, even if you had total control over your life and time. Even if you had all the time in the world to do whatever you want, whenever you wanted, as much as you wanted. You couldn’t have accomplished or achieved more in that same period of time, no matter what you do. It couldn’t have been better. You made the most out of it, despite the horrible circumstances, against all odds.

They couldn’t stop you, and that’s what matters. You remained who you are, during all those years. You made the most out of those years, despite everything. You can’t look back at those years and think they were years that were totally wasted. You will be mind-blown by all the progress you’ve made and how far you’ve come, because even if you had nothing, nothing standing in your way, you couldn’t have been more creative or productive, no matter what.

“Much to learn you still have.” – Master Yoda

You don’t need to improve because you don’t have what it takes to deserve the new higher level that you’re aspiring to get to. You improve, because you can’t get to a higher level that is still beneath you without becoming godlike enough to overcome every single obstacle and hurdle the system throws your way in order to keep you down forever, no matter how good you really are, and no matter how hard you try.

There’s nothing wrong with you. You are doing everything right, but you are still losing anyway despite doing everything right and having what it takes to rank up in life or the dominance or competence hierarchy because things are sort of corrupt, unfair, and ruined by an endless swarm of sociopaths and pure evil, corrupt, immoral, and brain dead people.

There’s nothing wrong with you. You don’t need to improve to qualify for or deserve anything that you want that is better than the garbage can that you’re stuck in through no fault of your own, despite being genius.

You only need to improve because only through becoming unstoppable, godlike, phenomenal, extraordinary, and exceptionally legendary and great, will you ever be able to make it out of absolute rock-bottom.

There’s no other way out. You have to be too good to stay down there. You have to be too good it’s impossible for you to last there for more than a few minutes. You have to be too good to be trapped in any sort of rock-bottom whatsoever, no matter how hard they try to stop you, no matter how broken, corrupt, evil, immoral, bad, or unfair the system that is keeping you trapped is, or the people who will stop at nothing to waste your life and do everything in their power to stop you are or could ever be.

But you do the bare minimum. The bare minimum that means you deserve better. A little bit better than what you’re currently given or stuck with.

You think that this should be enough to get me out! It means I’m not that bad! I don’t deserve the absolute lowest. It certainly means and clearly demonstrates that I don’t belong to rock-bottom. It proves that I’m supposed to rank up! Why isn’t it working! The system is unfair! Why is this happening to me! Why me! I am definitely better than where they’re keeping me at the moment. Why isn’t anything happening? Nothing has changed so far. No difference whatsoever, no matter how hard I try, even though I’ve infinitely improved compared to last year or my past self or whatever. Why isn’t it working for me in particular! There must be something wrong with me that follows me around wherever I go, ruining my life and any attempt that I make to make things better in any area of my life, no matter what. I’m bad, I suck, and I should certainly hate myself to the maximum. There must be something wrong with me, and I also should hate everybody else who’s successful despite being insanely lesser than me in everything imaginable. I hate them all, because it’s unfair. I’m better than them. Why are they doing this to me. Bad people everywhere, even the ones that are definitely good people and really want to help. Because they’re successful and I’m not, despite being better than all of them.

You keep sinking further and further, to places you didn’t even dream are possible to exist. It’s like rock-bottom of rock-bottom. Nothing is below that. And you think you are a psychopath all the time.

And you still are debating with me whether or not it’s efficient or wise to go all in in order to save yourself. Whether or not you must do infinitely way more than is needed to make you win. To do infinitely more than is necessary to overcome all barriers, hurdles, and obstacles that get thrown in your way nonstop like there’s no one else out there that can receive some of these hurdles, obstacles, and barriers as well. Like the sole purpose of their existence is to stop you, slow you down, or ruin and waste your life by any means necessary. To do everything possible, as if you’re competing at the highest level, not just trying to get out of the non-stop pure torture that is rock-bottom. You don’t want to do everything in your power, but yet, you are complaining that they’re doing everything in their power, to stop you. You don’t want to do the maximum possible. You don’t want to do infinitely more than your absolute best. You don’t want to operate at maximum capacity. You don’t want to operate at your full potential. You don’t want to go all in, like there’s no tomorrow. You don’t want to do more than is necessary to make you win even if you’re competing at the highest level possible against the best of the best of the best. You don’t want to do your absolute best. You don’t want to do more. You only do the bare minimum that is supposed to get you out of the lowest level, rank, or place ever. Everything else does not belong here, it will be too much. It will be an overkill. More than is necessary! We’re trying to be efficient here and pace ourselves, because we still have a very long way to go! We will run out of fuel before we reach anything! We must think and plan long-term. Something that could be sustained, or else we will crash and burnout prematurely!

If any random one of those who are crushing it now in any area or anything whatsoever were in your place, will they still lose as much as you do? Will they still fail forever like you do? Or will they be able to get out of there in no time, like they were just warming up? And you still think there’s nothing wrong with you. You still think you’re doing everything right. And you still think you’re perfect the way you currently are, and that you don’t need any further improvement at all in anything whatsoever. Because you’re good enough! You clearly are not bad enough to truly belong to rock-bottom forever!

And that’s why you’ll remain in rock-bottom for all time, and there will never be hope for you.

Now I know why you hate yourself.

You don’t need more training or development. You just need to stop failing, stop losing, no matter the cost. That is what’s making you fail more, and fail harder, to no end, with no solution in sight that can help or work. You have to break the perpetual cycle of nonstop and never-ending failure, by no longer failing, even if there’s still an infinite amount of things you still need to learn and improve upon, in order to deserve your new place. Success is the only answer to being stuck and trapped at rock bottom, no matter what you do, not self-improvement.

You have to understand that one of the reasons why you may be struggling at the moment could be the mere fact that you haven’t made it yet, even though you haven’t ever failed in the past on the pathway to making the thing you want happen. You haven’t failed, but you haven’t succeeded yet, after years and years of constant trying. You’ve tried everything, but still nothing works. Nothing happened. You did everything right, according to you and also according to them, but still, you are stuck with no progress. You’re stuck with the same problems you’ve had right when you started, years ago. Nothing happened. Nothing progressed. Nothing changed. No matter what you do or don’t do. No matter what.

That is one of the main reasons why you’re struggling more than normal, significantly more than everybody else.

That’s why you feel like you are not allowed access to any of your full potential, abilities, or true power, which makes you feel like you don’t have any intelligence or ability in the first place, only endurance and perseverance.

That’s why everything feels like labor to you. You feel like you just struggle, without being able to reach any real outcome that has been attained by anyone you feel you are actually way better than them in terms of ability.

That depletes your Dopamine and Serotonin like no other, and makes everything a struggle, even the simplest of tasks. Even resting is too challenging and depleting for you. Everything is too hard, so why bother. Why even try. You don’t have the energy or motivation to do anything.

The problem here isn’t in that no habit, strategy, or piece of advice is true or works for you.

The problem here is that the only solution for you, the only thing that could ever help in your situation, is to win.

Never say no to something that you could learn that can make you better at anything that you care about or want to improve yourself in.

When you approach the process of learning all the time, you have to think of it not as a one time thing that is transformative and life changing, but as a continuous and never-ending process that has to keep going and taking place anyway in perpetuity, even when you don’t need it. Even if it feels like you no longer need to learn that much or at that rate anymore, because you’ve already arrived, or you’re good enough, or you know more than enough already.

Learning is supposed to be a continuous process or practice that you do, engage in, or have, even if it feels that you don’t need to learn anything anymore, because you have already mastered everything.

It is supposed to be something that provides you with a never-ending source or supply of tools, practices, strategies, knowledge, understanding, experience, mastery, abilities, skills, and stuff that you can use later on to help you get through anything. The more you have, the better. The more you have, the easier everything you have to go through will be. You can handle and face anything that you can go through way easier and better, because you have an abundance of solutions to every problem. You have an infinite number of things that can be so helpful in many situations. You have an endless source of ideas, one of which surely will get you through whatever you’re struggling with at the moment. You can get through any challenge, which makes you stay ambitious and have no problem with having very high standards.

You have been learning and improving yourself for so long it has become very rare to find something that you cannot already find a solution for from what you’ve learned before all those years, as opposed to thinking it’s impossible, because you’ve never been there before.

That’s why you need to learn everything. What you think you need, and what you think you don’t need. You may never know when what you’ve learned on any random day in the past could come in handy.
