The Best advantage you have as a man
The best advantage you could ever have in life as a man is an adversity. Most men see adversity as bad but if you use it correctly, it can benefit your growth and your success, like
I've never watched a movie worth a damn where the hero didn't have a painful beginning because having that adversity early on in his life makes him grow into the hero he will become, (examples being: spider-man, Batman, Superman, etc.) and you can’t do that if you don’t overcome anything. People inherently know this,
if you meet a rich guy who has all his stuff together and then you found out he comes from a wealthy family, a little part of you will probably lose respect for him because you inherently know that value should come from adversity and hard work. After all, value is directly correlated to how hard someone is. For example getting that Ferrari is seen as valuable because of how hard it is to attain, because of how much money you need and the trials and tribulations needed to attain it. but if it was easy to attain, like if it was cheaper Or more common in places, people would value it less because it’s easier to attain and see.
The power of adversity
With this in mind, this is why having adversity especially young is the best advantage you’ll have as a man because that adversity will teach you lessons, make you grow stronger, and will allow you to give out more value to the world as a whole.
it's not the destination it's the journey that takes you far because you can’t reach the destination without the journey in the first place. So if you have no journey, no adversity, no lessons and you have no stories, then the destination gets a lot more boring to get to and doesn't feel earned. so don't be sitting here complaining or getting sad about your situation, instead realize what you can do to reach your goals and reach them despite the adversity along the way because adversity leads to growth in all realms of human behaviour.
