Everyone has external excuses for why they act the way they act, or why this or that happened:
- “I am an alcoholic because my parents were alcoholics.”
- “I can’t quit smoking because it helps my anxiety.”
- “I sleep around a lot because my father was never around when I was younger.”
- “I do this because my ex blah blah blah.”
Everything you do in your life is your choice, and the way you let events affect you is also your choice. Literally the only thing in this entire existence you have any control of is yourself. If you’re a shitty person with piss poor habits, then don’t lie to yourself about it and make it seem like the world is just out to get you. If you have a problem with your life then do something about it instead of complaining about how the way you are is somehow not your fault.
Women do this constantly without exception because the world is always against them and nothing is ever their fault, but I see a lot of men doing it as well. It’s an awful effeminate trait that needs to be eliminated. Stop being a lazy, defeatist weakling and take control of yourself.
Being Highly Effective
When I was in college I had a Computer Science professor who taught programming basics and information technology principles. I was gathering text books before the semester started and I noticed he had an “optional” work in his literature roster: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. Despite being an IT professor who taught object-oriented programming fundamentals, he was an ardent tree-hugging hippie. He would wear flip-flops to class every session, even into the fall months. With that in mind, a small part of his curriculum was life coaching.
Now, I’m not going to sit here and try to tell you that I read the damn book. It was optional after all, and I had better things to do, but I did crack it open. Of the skimming I did, the biggest takeaway I got from it was to stop externalizing your problems and start internalizing them. The easiest way to be lazy and scapegoat any responsibility for one’s poor habits and life choices is to pass the buck. Blaming something out of your control makes your problem essentially unsolvable. Since you can’t control it, all you can do is bitch about it and keep going on business as usual. This is incredibly ineffective and shows a complete lack of self-control. This goes along with people being afraid to leave their comfort zone and would rather take the hit than make an effort.
Take Control—Maximize Your Life
If something is truly 100% out of your control, then it’s a non-issue because it can’t be helped. Most of the time, however, this is not the case. Even when something happens to you that you could not have foreseen or prevented, you at least have the mental ability to decide how you want to let it affect your life. We let breakups, failures, busy schedules, and stressful life events drag us down and we dwell on them and sulk. Why? Do you think life is long enough to waste any of it pissing and moaning about everything? Some may think this is debatable, but realistically your personal quality of life is based on how much happiness you can achieve and for how long. Minimizing unhappiness and maximizing happiness should be paramount. Things that get in the way of this goal should be dealt with accordingly.
Some broad you’ve been steady with for a while consciously runs behind your back and cheats on you. Is she a sleazy scandalous piece of trash? Of course. Did she do it because she secretly hates you? Maybe. Did she do it because she got bored with you because you weren’t man enough and you were too needy? Likely. The latter is something you can control. Instead of being a victim who got played, learn from it. Not making as much money as you want? Work better and ask for a raise. Not getting a raise? Look for a new job. Don’t make excuses for why you can’t change jobs. It’s 2013 and jobs are like underwear. You live on your own and all you have is basic bachelor bills – always be on the lookout for better opportunities.
Don’t Feed Into Negativity
Pessimism can be contagious, and it’s important to not let others drag you down. Nowadays, when someone bitches about something she refuses to deal with, I just shut down. When I hear people (women) ramble on about their baggage, my brain just turns to pudding and I tune out. Venting about something can certainly be a useful mental tool, but at the end of the day you need to learn to step up and help yourself. The world doesn’t owe you a favor, and you’re entitled to nothing but what you make for yourself.

It’s fucking hilarious that you posted this article when Roosh says things like “Oh I went to London and couldn’t get laid, there must be something seriously wrong with the women in London.”
That’s after doing everything humanly possible.
Doubt it. Someone is still fucking them.
While I do agree to some extent that some places are better than others, the whole city bashing has never sat well with me. It’s not like these women aren’t having sex. For Long-term relationships? Sure they’re most likely terrible candidates. But they are fucking. In fact, they’re fucking more than any time in history.
Thank God they’re fucking. Got to get me to the UK for a nice fat, over sized crapper, cankel ridden toothless whale!
in anglosaxon countries young hot women only care about looks to get fucked for good
no wonder roosh didnt get laid. Or has he tried wearing a mask too?
Dont think he said he couldnt get laid.

did you pass out and your fingers got stuck on the ctrl-v keys? stop being a dick already.
And thus begins the inevitable decline of RoK…
thanks for this article, I found it kinda motivating. don’t listen to your negative press!
As I have seen recently in abundance – people will actively try to suppress the mindset of taking control of your life, living with discipline and productivity in mind and especially if you choose to repel the conditioning society likes to ladle onto you. Projection of insecurity or plain envy? Who can say.
Articles like this remind me why I put up with it.
Most people can’t handle the stress that personal accountability puts on their egos.
Thus they turn to religion, liberalism, and all other blue-pill beliefs.
Religion is about as annoying as Feminism to be completely honest
Religion is way more annoying, it fucked up the conservative intellectual high ground in policy making.
Nothing is more annoying than feminism. I could care less about any religion, those people do not bother me at all.
You could care less? Why don’t you?
Haha, that is a pet peeve of mine as well!
Buddhism is an okay religion…notice how I said just “okay” though. It’s an interesting mixture of red-pill self-reliance and blue-pill groveling (even going so far as to not eat meat because it hurts animals) and I assume every religion could also be described in this way. Barring thinly-veiled cults like Scientology.
I doubt most of those speaking in general of “religion” have any real familiarity with the subject at all. “Buddhism” or “Hinduism” pretty much sums up their entire academic interest on the religions of the Orient. They probably think Catholic and Baptist are two different religions or that Islam is pretty much Protestantism with a turban on.
There are over 500 religions practiced in Africa alone. Are you familiar with every one of them? I doubt it.
I don’t care if you are critical of religion in general, but I wish most people would insist on acquainting themselves with religion in general before making pronouncements on religion in general. It is not as simple to boil religion down to a few concepts as it is with feminism. You can’t say,for instance, “religion is a belief in God”,because not all religions have a God.
Nearly all religions do have a moral code,though. Are any of you objecting to this? Even people here have a common moral code, so why would a system of morality be “annoying” to you?
I’m left to conclude that the bulk (not all,perhaps a slight majority) of those who speak negatively of religion don’t even know what it is.
Internalizing your problems is bad advice for the legions of insecure, beta men who comes to this site for advice and will exacerbate any problems they already have with their confidence.
People classify events according to the parameters changeable / unchangeable and internal cause / external cause. If youre emotionally healthy and want to stay as such you blame external factors for your misfortunate (dont bitch about it to others though, no one cares). If you want to improve yourself youll blame internal but changeable factors. if you want to be depressed, like most of the mannasphere, youll blame internal factors that cant be changed (i could never be a bad boy alpha fucker)
That is an absurd parody of the facts about the manosphere and this site’s readers. There’s plenty to object to without making stuff up, and this:
“If youre emotionally healthy and want to stay as such you blame external factors for your misfortunate (dont bitch about it to others though, no one cares).”
is bizarre….There’s no other way to put it. The fact that you talk about blaming others for your “misfortunate” is enough to show that you are retarded. Misfortunate isn’t even a word. It’s unfortunate or misfortune. Besides that, emotional health and mental health are very closely related. That’s why a chronically depressed individual has a “mental health issue”, not an emotional health issue. Those who are healthy get or stay that way by purposely rejecting what is unhealthy (consider for a moment what a diet is), and in order to do that, sometimes (many times,even) one must place blame on oneself.
Blaming others or external factors is how to be emotionally healthy (not even sure what that means,so I’ll translate to mental health,the nearest equivalent)? Doesn’t make any sense. It’s certainly not what a psychologist* would advise.
*Disclaimer, I am NOT a psychologist, though I have some familiarity with the field and its techniques through study.
Great post. If you have not read 7 Habits, get a copy and read it. GREAT BOOK. Athol Kay’s new book, Mindful Attraction Plan is along the same lines but more practical in my opinion.
“Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change,
he courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.”
― St. Francis of Assisi
This…. THIS. This article is beautiful, and it’s so true. In psychology it’s referred to as an “internal locus of control”. People who feel like they’re in control of their own lives, what happens to them, and their own successes are FAR more successful and have an overall better quality of life than those that say “Meh…world’s against me, might as well quit.”
Failure is a necessary sign of success. If someone says they never failed, they’re either a liar or a loser.
Yup.
“Everything you do in your life is your choice, and the way you let events affect you is also your choice. Literally the only thing in this entire existence you have any control of is yourself. If you’re a shitty person with piss poor habits, then don’t lie to yourself about it and make it seem like the world is just out to get you. If you have a problem with your life then do something about it instead of complaining about how the way you are is somehow not your fault.”
I agree with every word of this. And that’s tough to admit cuz it’s coming from General Stalin,but if you were able to ask God himself,this is what he would tell you. Stop being a pussy. Accomplish what you can accomplish,and what you can’t do, leave for someone else and SHUT THE FUCK UP with your whining about it.
great article thanks….. an additional thing that people do is to complicate their lives so they have excuses…. i have a dog so i can’t do xyz…. shoot the fucking thing…. no one ‘needs’ a dog except perhaps a farmer….. people surround themselves with all manner of crap to restrict themselves…. we are terrified of being free, most people know they will go completely insane….
trim your life back to the absolute basics…. all you need should be able to fit in the trunk of your car… or a small mini van worst case…. look at nutcases like steve jobs… didn’t bother to buy furniture for his house to keep it uncomplicated….
all this crap we attach ourselves to simply inhibits us from discovering new and interesting things…
Good article GS. Men are such pussies in the west now it’s unbelievable. So different to when I grew up.
Some advice? I did a lot of this “self improvement” stuff in the 80s and early 90s. I read all the books and listened to all the tapes from all the big names. What I found was that you had to remember what to do. You had to make habits out of them like 7 habits says.
In February 95 I did the Landmark Forum for the first time. I repeated it twice over the years for different reasons. For my money? Spending a year at Landmark was the best investment I ever made in myself. I recommend it to all young men, or, indeed, older men. Nope. I don’t get a commission.
If anyone wants motivation to do it? The second time I did it I did it around being successful at selling. I was failing to sell and had failed for nigh on 5 years. I was beginning to think I would never make a good salesman. This was the first thing I had ever failed at in my life and not been able to master. Nothing I had tried had worked. I just could not close those “big deals” no matter how hard I tried.
Anyway. I did the LF in December 96 with an eye on “having a breakthrough in selling”. In Feb/March 97 I was involved in closing more than USD3M of business for Hitachi in the Business Intelligence area. In 97 I was involved in closing more than USD10M worth of business. I went on to be one of the most successful BI Sales People in Australia closing 75% of the deals I went after. Not bad when your competitors are IBM, Oracle, Teradata and the big Systems Integrators.
I even closed the Telstra (australias ex government telco) corporate data warehouse project for PwC against IBM Global Services Australia in 99. This was the best sale of my life to date. The reason being that IBM GSA was 25% owned by Telstra and IBM had the 10 year support contract for all things Telstra. 3,000 Telstra staff had been transferred to IBMGSA.
So when IBM GSA has THAT sort of relationship with their customer? To win against them was pure pleasure. The PwC partners were so sure we would lose that they did not allocated the people to do the job and I ended up resigning from PwC. If PwC did not want to go find the people for winning the largest contract in my area for the entire year? Why stay?
Anyway…here is my personal reference for landmark education. I really recommend young men listen to this and consider it carefully. You go through this training all the way to the end of Self Expression and Leadership Program or whatever it is called now? You will never be a pussy again. I can assure you of that. This is the best thing I ever did…period.

Great post.
This is a good article, but it’s very, very weird to see advice on “How to be highly effective” from a guy named “General Stalin.”
Stalin was pretty effective.
Good article. What did that old adage advise? 20% of life is what happens to you and 80% of life is how you respond to that 20%…in other words, you’re always in control.
Only problem is that for 80% of your life as a white guy you will be getting screwed over by someone or something, and until later on in life you will be too dumb to even know it.
Take control of the way you speak. Uptalking is for valley girls (and pussies). If you think you’re a man, don’t do this:
Nice manjaw on the one on the left. Are they going to be bragging about this on their Twitter feed? Hope they dont think we are creepy.
It’s not a manjaw unless it’s on a man. They’re both hot, but holy cow, their voices. Definitely fuck’n’chuck-worthy though.
I was thinking about this today. It’s important to be cautious but that doesn’t mean one can’t approach situations optimistically.
I can’t stop having anal sex with feminists because the Lord commands it.
Take control over the things you can change (yourself, your behavior, your believes, your actions)
Become okay with the things you can’t change (some parts of your external world like certain types of change resistant people and political decisions)
This leads to a feeling of acceptance and you can become at peace with yourself.
So true. I $#@%$#ing hate crybabies
I’ve never read 7 Habits, but I’ve now got it on hold at the library (I never pay for books if I don’t have to) and I’m looking forward to reading it! I know I’m certainly not as effective as I could be.
I hate negative bitchers and I do my best to eliminate them from my life, and that includes family members. Too bad, so sad, don’t call me.
One thing I do to maximize my life is to eat a diet full of superfoods and premium dietary supplements and shun all processed junk foods. People say to me, “Do you think you’re going to live forever!?” No, I don’t want to live forever, I just want to look and feel good for as long as I can. I like how I look in my mid 40s and I want to maintain my looks as long as possible (so I can fuck my brains out regularly in Phils…heh heh).
And sure, I may be a red wino, but I love it and I’ll never stop. I love catching a buzz and I love red wine sex!
i use a very simple heuristic to stop myself bitching, or being weak.
i call it the 5 minute rule. [AKA holding the line] If you can hold out for 5 more minutes without giving an inch, the lesserman/feminist/manbearpig/woman will always yield.
Every time. winners win often by the slimmest of margins, and its usually always from pure force of will.
That point when you feel sick to your stomach and think you should back down, or that bit when you think you’ll ring or message that girl because you’re wanting that strange and she’s not getting here fast enough. hold the line. don’t bitch out or cop out.
I always think of that scene from gattaca where the genetically inferior ethan hawkings goes up against his brother or something and they have a swimming competition. when his brother nearly drowns, and he [ethan] has won the race he saves him, drags him ashore and the other questions him about how he won. His reply is simply that he never left anything for the swim back.
That’s how men should behave 24/7. If you can hold the line you can do some crazy ridiculous shit. Hell look at ROK in the face of all the raging torrential hate over tuth’s article. they held the line, and all that ocean of hate did is bring red pill awareness to a new generation of men who went to investigate what the fuss was about, and found some kind of truth.
hold the line.
We are the last bastion of defense in a pussified PC world.
” The easiest way to be lazy and scapegoat any responsibility for one’s poor habits and life choices is to pass the buck. Blaming something out of your control makes your problem essentially unsolvable. Since you can’t control it, all you can do is bitch about it and keep going on business as usual.

Great info here, not just for dudes. I hate a lot of stuff on RoK, but the non-female bashing information is actually awesome.
Keep it coming.
FUCK yes. LOVE this post fellas. Keep positive articles and vibes like this coming. It’s helped jump start being a man and stop making excuses. Red pill for life !
You can stick “Women do this constantly without exception” right where the sun doesn’t shine, sweetheart.

I’m an anti feminist so it’s true.
Damn i needed to hear this! Thanks so much for a great article. Definitely hit home hard.
I have to agree that women are prone to this externalization of fault. And guess who the culprit is??? Men of course! Women will agree they tend to be crazy but then say men are the reason for said craziness. Women don’t develop self enough and end up pinning all their hopes and dreams on relationships, making marriage the end goal which will solve all problems. If the relationship ends, they’re destroyed and unprepared to handle life again. Oh and be assured if you break things off with a girl, get ready for the onslaught of slings and arrows about how you ruined their life, never loved them anyway, etc… The funny part? They tend to be on to the next guy weeks later.
As a grown woman who has been dealing with the worst shit life could hand her (losing two close family members to cancer in 12 months; suffering constant anxiety; living in hell with a serious stomach problem that has the potential to kill me) I refute this completely.
I rely completely on myself. I’m not on meds, I’m not in a relationship, I don’t go crying to anyone. I’m still acing all my classes and maintaining a healthy lifestyle when my body is ready for collapse and my mind still spirals into emotional hell at the flip of a coin. And when that does happen, I’m the only one there for myself, and I don’t put anyone else under the blame.
I have been handling life on my own so far and I’m not even going to think about getting a partner until I’m sorted and I’m on my top game again, so there goes your argument about relying on men.
As for self development: I know what I want in life (I don’t mean a man) and I know how I’m going to get it (I’m already working my ass off for it). Your argument is based on an incorrect stereotype that few women actually fall into.
Just basing my comment off my own personal experiences. Of course not 100% of women fall into this category and I commend you for fighting your way through all the obstacles in your life. Your case is unusual though and I still feel many women fall into the victim mindset. Your situation sounds like a definite extreme which has probably made you a stronger person. The type of victimization I speak of tends towards the privileged. If all you stated is true, hats off to you for persevering and I wish you the best in the future.
You write this article (intentionally or not) as if being effeminate, or even female, is bad. I really don’t see how you don’t see your own website’s behavior, which tends to blame women and femininity for many of your problems. I think I would call that… externalization, maybe?
Seriously. Blame the behaviors, not our entire gender, for your problems.
