- You're not bored. You're just not retarded enough.
You're not bored. You're just not retarded enough.

We all know it, when life feels so fucking boring.
When nothing happens.
You're in your routines, going through the motions and "improving".
But there ain't shit happening.
no adventures
no sidequests
no fun
no opportunities
And you know why nothing is ever happening?
Because everyone's just waiting for something to happen.
Everyone's waiting for adventure, fun or an invitation.
And when everyone waits, nothing happens.
There's a solution to this, but it's pretty retarded.
Everyone is waiting for:
someone to invite them
the girl to approach them
the adventure to just appear in their lives
But that's just not how life works.
Life doesn't reward the waiters. It rewards the doers.
You plan, you prepare, you optimize.
But that won't do shit.
You're not gonna win accidentally. There's no mission that'll just pop into your life. No friend group will just say: "Yo wanna come on an adventure with us?"
Almost nothing in life just falls in your lap.
So what can we do about that?
We have to first accept that the guys who win aren't smarter, they're dumber.
They don't think.
They don't wait.
They don't plan.
They ACT.
The INITIATOR will always win.
Message people first.
Say yes before you're ready.
Invite people.
Be the initiator.
Be the guy bringing adventure and fun not only to your own life, but to the lives of many others.
Imagine two guys:
Guy A:
wants friendship
watches YouTube vids on "how to be more social"
is still waiting for someone to invite him
aka guy A is a passive bitch
Guy B:
wants friendship
texts 3 guys: "Wanna go to a lake next week?"
one guy goes with him
they eat, swim, laugh, and have fun
and the ball started rolling
Passive people will NEVER win. You have to initiate shit.
Even in the bible:
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
You have to ask to receive.
You have to seek to find.
You have to knock to get the door opened for you.
There's always an action of yourself causing the good thing. The good thing never just comes.
This concept is simple really:
Cause and effect. The effect (a good life, adventure, fun) won't come without the cause. And you HAVE TO BE the one causing it.
So how do we do that?
Initiate something THIS week.
Text the guy. Take the call. Do the thing. Invite the friend.
It doesn't matter what it is. Just initiate SOMETHING.
Ask the girl.
Shoot the shot.
Launch the business.
Run the ad.
Quit the job.
Take the risk.When you’re 85 years old and on your deathbed, you’re not gonna wish you had fewer crazy stories.

Take fast, retarded action.
Get idea → do idea.
The shorter the time in between the better.
No "what if's". No planning. No thinking.
Be that guy.
The guy who starts shit.
The guy who invites people over.
The guy who turns "nothing" into "one of the best nights of our lives".
Become that guy who's known for always doing cool shit.
That instantly makes you a so much more interesting person.
“I was waiting for something extraordinary to happen, but as the years wasted on, nothing ever did unless I caused it.”
Be the spark lighting the fire.
Throw the punch before the enemy does.
Shoot when you can't even see the target.
Badabang badaboom. Make shit happen.
Don't wait for the lifemaxxing. Just lifemaxx.
Get on the fucking train.
And figure out where to go after that.
Badabang badaboom.
