“I’m about to turn 60, and I still feel like I did at 25”
(photo: @wadeaustinellis)
I keep hearing about “adulting” and how hard it is. Well, it is hard and doesn’t get easier.
At almost 60, I still get scared, overwhelmed and don’t know what to do sometimes. I still have sleepless nights and wonder what the hell I’m going to do about some situations. The difference is I can use my experience in prior situations to assess the current one. Or, even better, I have a circle of family/friends/professionals that I can go to for advice. Ones that I trust, not the one on the next barstool or such.
But inside, I still feel like I’m 25! I like splashing in puddles, I sit in awe of a star-filled sky, I blow bubbles even when I’m not with the grandkids. I love shopping for new and different clothes in out of the way places, I still travel alone to places that interest me. I love to cook and try new things. I stay out late and sleep in sometimes, just not every weekend lol. I take up new hobbies and endeavors because they seem interesting. I still reach out to strangers and make new friends, so that I don’t get bored. And I LOVE a good whisky and the occasional drunk!
Everyone thinks there is a magic age when you feel mature. It’s not true. As you get older you get more responsible and you learn how to deal with difficult things because you’ve learned. You’ve learned consequences of being irresponsible suck, you’ve learned to deal with difficult things because NOT dealing with them is more harsh in the long run.
Yeah, ‘adulting’ is hard and not fun plenty of times. But being irreverant, immature and irresponsible is a lot harder, a lot harsher and very damaging. It makes a happy life just about impossible.
All told, I’m very happy to be looking at my 60th birthday coming up! I’ve had a wonderful and interesting life full of amazing people and places. I’ve worked extremely hard to get where I am in life and I am enjoying every minute of it!
My children are grown and I now have the time AND the money to do just about anything that interests or intrigues me. I am not wealthy, I am comfortable.
But that didn’t happen magically, nor was it inherited or handed to me. It took planning and diligence. At times, it took a great deal of sacrifice and pain. During the recession I almost lost everything and I lived in a lot of fear during that time. But I had already learned how to handle things. It took learning to know what was a need vs want, it took learning to save and learning to invest. I could have a fancy new car, or I could take that money and do something smart with it and settle for a really decent car. I could rack up credit card debt that would take ten years to pay back for a trip to Europe for a month, or I could travel when I could afford it, make the trips smaller, and use hostels, mid range hotels, campgrounds, etc. There is no need to go dirt cheap unless you need to, but no need to create debt, for the same reason. So, in spite of the recession, I survived those tough financial times because I wasn’t carrying massive debt for fancy, expensive wants. So I could focus my financial survival on what was within my means.
I’ve had fabulous experiences and travels and memories. I wouldn’t trade it for anything! Life has been good to me, but it didn’t happen without me preparing for it to be so. I’ve had some extreme difficulties, some serious challenges and a lot of tragedy in my life too, so it hasn’t been sunshine and roses. Life never is. But it didn’t make me lose focus, it didn’t take me to the bottom, and it didn’t cause me to burn bridges. I went through all of them, from the death of one child, through the mental health issues of another, and came out the other end a different person, but still one who finds a great deal of joy in life, rather than wallowing in the dark side of it.
I hope everyone feels this way when looking at their older years!

The Daily Man-Up
(photo: @amosbarzeev)
One tendency I’ve noticed about a lot of us who are into self-development is that we are incredibly hungry for information.
Some of us may have had neglectful parents or an upbringing that was very scarce, we may have not gotten the encouragement for self-betterment, we have no one around us who are striving for the best — so we want to consume and process all the information, methods, tips, and tricks we can.
I think that’s great because being deeply desirous to change yourself is better than being apathetic and lethargic.
Unfortunately, this over-consumption of information can become gluttony. Gluttony then leads to lethargy, which then leads to sloth and not doing anything with this information.
More books! More articles! More podcasts! More lectures! More, more, more! I need to know the secrets of the universe before I end up starting my business, before I apply for that job, before I take that trip, before I ask out that girl.
We need to be perfect and then, then we’ll act. One day. One day.
But one day never comes. Neither does perfection.
The real truth about self-development, the real pain is the application. It’s in the messy interactions between imperfect human beings.
You’ve read what’s in that book about dating. Now, go out on a Friday night and apply it.
You’ve read how to start a business. Now, start your own.
A lot of people are dreaming with their heads up in the clouds, thinking they’re moving the needle when they’re just reading a book or an article online.
How many people are out there actively trying, failing, getting knocked down on their ass, and trying again? Very few.
Most people read about a diet in a book, try it for 2 months, then relapse into their old eating habits.
Many people say “I’m gonna meditate for 20 minutes a day” but they “can’t find the time…because Netflix”.
Then people wonder why 2019 is 2018 is 2017 is 2016. Repeating a fucking Groundhog Day existence for 30 years.
Then you’ll be 68 years old and realize that you just twiddled your thumbs in your ivory tower while your life passed you by.
Because the real pain of self-development is exertion, it’s doing it when you don’t want to do it, it’s progressively getting better and actively cutting out areas where you don’t need to be doing things.
What methods work? They all work. There are some that are more “optimal” than others, but they will all work – if applied. If you read a self-help book starting from ground zero (like you know nothing about this stuff), you will be a better person on page 258 than you were at page 1. I guarantee it. So it’s not about “choosing the right methods”. It’s about application.
There are people who think self-development and self-help is a joke. These people have never even walked into a book store and yet they’re laughing all the way to the bank or living the life that we want to live!
I can pretty much guarantee that if you took one book like Deep Work or Psycho-Cybernetics and applied everything in there to the T, your life would dramatically alter.
You wouldn’t need to be browsing Inc. magazine for the newest hacks. You wouldn’t need to go on Entrepreneur and say you’re “hustling”.
We need to stay focused, guys. We need to build a core set of practices and not stray from the narrow road of improvement.
We need to throw ourselves into the task with everything we have and not look around for another hack or tactic to help us when we have an arsenal of 1,000 inside our head.
You won’t know all the answers. You can’t know all the answers before you take action. You need to act before you are ready.
You will NEVER be ready.
You can’t solve the puzzle without taking action to assemble the pieces.
Get going and the pieces will start to fall in place. Then the puzzle starts to solve itself.

The Ramblings Of A Male Feminist
The concept of virginity was created because men are so egotistical, that they think that a penis can fundamentally change who a woman is. Meanwhile in real life our penises are pathetic when compared to the power of a vagina. Why do men say that women came from a mans rib, when it’s self explanatory that we came from a vagina. I also believe that if there was an Adam an Eve, because of history and not #herstory, Adam probably ate the apple then blamed Eve.
Female genital mutilation is carried out because men hate themselves. Men rape women because they want a false physical power over women, because they have an internalised inferiority complex as they know that women are more powerful than men. So we force them to cover up as children because we are weak. Or we force them to strip off for approval so that we can objectify them to feel better about our sh*t connection to real spirituality.
The only thing more powerful than a woman, is the holy trinity of mother father and child. Now the holy trinity is Father, son, ghost. Where is the woman? She is a ghost? She is separated at religious ceremonies. She is a survivor of rapes and sexism. She isn’t paid equally but she raised you. Are we actually stupid.
When I build sustainable villages they will be matrifocal, matriarchal and matrilineal, because I know that a people can only rise as high as it’s women.
Meanwhile evil men still rape women, conditioned men are still sexist and perpetuate rape culture. Women are Thots (that hoe over there’s) sluts and bitches, men are running the planet into the ground but don’t want to share power with women. They think that when you share power with with women you halve it, but my brothers when you share power with women you double it. Respect, balance, peace love and unity and Truth

What’s It Like To Own A Lamborghini?
(photo: @thomashaas)
I pondered this same question since I was 15. About 15 years later I am qualified to answer this. I’ve owned 2. 08 Gallardo and 2015 Huracan. How does it feel? I will break this down into two parts–from an automotive/mechanical perspective and an emotional/human perspective.
Both were V10’s and the moment you turned the key (or pressed the start button) you knew it was 10 cylinders. They were proper to use a bull for their logo because it sounds like a really pissed off bull being woken up too early on a Saturday morning each time you fire it up. Italians are about soul and lambos ooze soul compared to the other exotics and expensive cars I’ve owned. You feel alive when you drive them. Driving a lambo is a very visceral experience. It’s loud, and you can feel the engine rumbling through your bones as you shift (all paddle shift these days) and downshift. Everyone should experience a v10 downshifting hard through a tunnel at least once in their lives. Every drive is an experience and I would find myself with a big grin on my face any time I drove them.
A common misconception is that they’re expensive to maintain or are unreliable. 2005 and newer are head and shoulders above the pre 2005 models. Once Audi (or is it VW?) owned lamborghini and started sharing parts the car was so much better inside and out. Diablos and countach’s feel cheap and flimsy but the fit and finish after the gallardo came out is nice and tight like an Audi. Also I will say the AWD models make you feel like a great driver and safe even on wet surfaces.
Ok so here’s probably what you’re more interested in– what does it feel like, how do people react, etc. You’re going to get a lot of attention. I never had yellow or green or orange but those attract even more attention. Meaning when you drive it, expect at least a few people to take pics and/or video (while they have one hand on the wheel of their own car), people will try to race you, follow you, stare, honk their horn, give you thumbs up, etc. Sometimes it’s downright dangerous because they are paying attention to your car when they should be driving.
When you’re getting gas or stopped somewhere that’s when it can get awkward. Every week I’ll get a couple of questions that bug me:
“How much did that car cost?”
“So what do you do”
I don’t mind if you ask how fast it goes. Or if you can take a picture or look inside. I’ll even let people sit in it — all the time! But don’t ask me how much it costs. Just google it. And asking me what I do… As if you’re going to turn around and start doing it too? That’s like asking someone how much they make. You don’t want to know, trust me.
So I used to struggle with this and would try to avoid it. Now I just tell people. $285,000. Ok there. Are you happy now?
If you like the car you should see my house.
It’s a no-win situation. I tell you and it makes things weird or I don’t tell you and you think I’m a lambo driving asshole. Oh well, comes with the territory. I still don’t have a great way to handle that question.
People treat you like a celebrity (not justified) because of your car. Most people don’t know what kind of car it is. Most people have never seen one up close. Boys from the ages of 8-18 freak out — I did the same when I was their age.
Gas mileage sucks. 10mpg sounds about average.
Insurance is not that bad. I’m paying about $250 a month (over 25, no accidents, multiple car discount, etc). Not all insurance companies will cover lambos. Progressive does.
Cops. Beware. If you drive a lambo you are begging to get pulled over. That means you do one thing wrong: roll through a stop sign, run a yellow light, go 5mph over the speed limit, have an expired license plate, swerve in a lane (ESP at night), expect blue and red lights to come on especially if you aren’t in LA or Miami where they are common. Been pulled over 4 times in the lambos. 3 were fine. One was straight up harassment and I was scared. I won’t drink even a beer if I’m in the lambo, it’s just not worth it.
Overall I haven’t had that bad of an experience. It’s been positive and fun. I go to car shows. Take neighbors’ kids for rides. Answer everyone’s questions at gas stations and am as nice as I can be. I’ve been fortunate in my life and so I feel like it’s my job to share the car with people even if it’s just a selfie for a random stranger at the supermarket. (And yes I drive it to Kroger and yes a couple of bags of groceries fit in the trunk).

A Few Tips, Tricks And Hacks That Will Make Your Life A Whole Lot Easier
If you forget people’s names almost immediately after they introduce themselves, repeat back their name when you shake hands
Hi, I’m Sam”
“Hi Sam, I’m Jo, nice to meet you”
Repeating their name and looking at their face will help lodge it in your memory.
Often, being liked doesn’t require you to be interesting/funny. It just requires you to make other people feel interesting/funny
In most interactions, everybody is heavily self-monitoring and will base their judgement of the success of the interaction on how people responded to them. If people laughed at their joke. If people found their anecdote interesting or shocking. If people agreed with their opinion.
So the upshot for people who are shy or worry that they’re boring is: you don’t need to put so much pressure on yourself. Honestly most times all you need to do is take an interest in whoever you’re talking to. Listen. Ask questions/follow-up questions. Laugh at their jokes. And they’ll come out of it thinking you were a really cool person to talk to, when actually what they mean is you made them feel like a really cool person to talk to.
Don’t delete old playlists if you can prevent it; years later you can listen and not only rediscover music you were into but also experience whatever emotion you had associated with your tunes at the time
Don’t take unsolicited advice personally. Most of the time the person giving the advice is giving advice they wish they had, not advice they think you need.
If you are buying anything for your wedding, do not tell the vendors it’s for a wedding. Just say a party. Most companies charge 3-4x for weddings even if it’s the same stuff.
This includes cakes. You can just say it’s for a party before the wedding. Same cake. Hundreds of dollars cheaper.
Don’t judge your “market value” as a romantic partner during your teenage years/ early twenties. A lot of decisions during that time are hormone-driven
Adolescence lasts much longer than most people think, until around 25. Before that, the human brain is not yet fully mature, meaning that psychological and behavioural patterns still undergo changes. Thus, our “true personality” only manifests itself during the late twenties.
Before that happens, people are often “in lust” rather than in love, but without realizing it. Our bodies are wired to produce as much offspring as possible as soon as possible, because early humans used to die young. This can lead to our relationship decisions in high school and sometimes college being based on biological urges rather than compatibility of personalities.
So don’t worry if you can’t find a partner in high school or even college – the good times are still ahead of you!
It’s FREE to go to the humane society and pet kitties—this can help someone who is unable to have pets and/or people who are chronically lonely.
Also, if you like to walk, jog, or run, you can stop by the Humane Society and ask to bring a doggo on your walk, jog, or run. The dogs love it, you love it, and everyone wins!
Carry around a card in your wallet/purse with some important phone numbers like parents or friends. If your phone dies or you don’t have it, you have all the numbers you need, and you can use a pay phone or borrow someone’s phone.
Struggle at writing Essays? Outline them extensively. You’ll end up writing 80-90% of your content and the actual essay writing portion comes down to pasting and polishing.
Look at it like how stories are developed. Most writers outline ideas and direction they want to take the story and continue to build off it once they have a clear vision. It’s easier to write once you determine exactly what you’re writing about.
Do not listen to anyone who tries to explain to you that you can afford more than you think you can.
These people usually are trying to get something (money) out of you, or have bad financial management skills and are (intentionally or not) trying to drag you down to their level.
When buying a new appliance (eg, washer, dryer, dishwasher) ask an appliance REPAIRMAN which model he recommends. Don’t ask the salesman
If you ever need to send a serious text message write out a draft in a note app apart from your texting app so you don’t accidentally send a half written or unedited message. This is especially helpful when your emotions are running high. Take a minute to read it over and think

The Daily Man-Up: Start Small
(Photo by Mikito Tateisi)
As I talk to more and more people, it’s become clear what the most common sticking point is: getting started. I don’t think I’ve repeated any phrase as often as I’ve said, “Start small.” No matter what it is that you’re doing, whether you think you need to or not, whether you’re changing your life or starting a new project, start small.
Stop trying to overhaul your entire life overnight. I know you want results, and you want them now, but trying to change every habit you have immediately is unsustainable. You didn’t create all of your current habits in one day, so you’re not going to replace them in one day. That’s just not how it works for 99.99999% of people.
You know all those people living the life you want, the ones getting their homework done on time, exercising, drinking enough water, getting up early, meditating, etc.? They’ve spent years working up to that lifestyle. Don’t try to run before you can walk.
Sustainable lifestyles are built slowly. I know it’s easy to feel inspired one day and try to change it all at once because you want that new life NOW, but you’re setting yourself up for failure by trying to change everything immediately. In six weeks when you still have to maintain those habits—because, yes, you have to keep doing this forever—and that new-me energy is gone, will you have the self-discipline to maintain all 308 changes that you made? Probably not.
It’s faster to change slowly. If you build one new habit every six weeks, that’s eight new habits in a year. In one year you could be eating your vegetables, drinking enough water, meditating daily, keeping your space clean, sleeping 8 hours every night, waking up early, exercising regularly, and writing an app in your free time, if you make all of these changes in a sustainable way.
Or you could try four times to make all of these changes at once, burn out, and be in exactly the same place next year.
When it comes to starting a new project, I find the opposite issue is true—it’s not that we start too big, it’s that we don’t start at all. I know you have a project sitting in the back of your mind that you’ve been thinking about for months, maybe years, that you just have not started because it’s daunting. You don’t know where to start. You’re overwhelmed.
Start small. Writing a book starts with writing one sentence. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Don’t worry about the big picture. Starting is half the battle for a reason. It’s intimidating, but starting small makes it manageable so you can actually get started.

Man Suffers Identity Crisis After Jiu-Jitsu Trained Girlfriend Chokes Him Out
My gf and I have been dating for about 6 months. We both go to the same school, so we see each other all the time, and are both going to graduate in June. We have had a great relationship, and I have no reason to dislike her. She is a rational, level-headed, and smart woman who I absolutely trust.
My gf is trained in Jiu Jitsu and I believe she is decently good (I’ve never seen her fight). She has been training at a fancy gym consistently since she started college 5 years ago. I have zero self defense training as I don’t have the time or money to go to classes or a martial arts gym. I boxed briefly in early college but had to quit pretty early on because I got a new job.
So last night we had just got back from my friends birthday party and we started to mess around. Sometimes we play fight and wrestle around, normal couple things. But last night while we were rolling around out of nowhere she puts me in an ACTUAL head lock. For context, neither of us were intoxicated. We had both had a couple drinks a few hours prior but we were totally sober by the time we got home. Also for context, I am about 5 inches taller than her but I don’t think I outweigh her by too much (I don’t know how much she weighs but I am pretty skinny, about 145 lbs). I think I am stronger than her but again, I don’t have any training. I tried to get out of her hold but I didn’t know how so I’m just kinda squirming around. Then she really starts to tighten up. In a matter of maybe 2 seconds, she is full on choking me. My airway is completely closed and I immediately become extremely angry (don’t know why really, is that the normal reaction?). My emotions just start going crazy, which is clouding my judgement and my thought processes. I didn’t know what to do so I started tapping on the ground and on her head. She lets go and I backed away quickly. She still had a smile on her face, I’m assuming because she thought we were having fun. I immediately started yelling at her and was completely enraged at this point. She was initially confused because she didn’t seem to know what she was doing. I walked downstairs to try to cool off and process what happened. When I came back I didn’t really know what to do, so I decided to just go home. I started to put my clothes on and she starts crying and apologizing, saying she didn’t mean to and didn’t think she was doing anything serious. I felt bad because this was the first time I’ve ever seen her cry. I’m still very angry at this point but I decided to stay. I still didn’t really know what to do so I just decided to go to bed. She went downstairs and came up a little bit later and eventually came to bed. Now we sleep together probably 5 nights a week but I have never slept with her angry so I just kinda faced away from her and tried to fall asleep. She kept apologizing quietly but I told her I just wanted to go to sleep. We woke up this morning and took a shower together (something we normally do) but we didn’t talk and I didn’t touch her at all. We talked a little before I left (I had to go study for a big test I am taking tomorrow), and I assured her I wasn’t going to break-up with her over this incident. She seemed worried that I might end it.
I am still very confused about the situation and seek advice on how to deal with this. I don’t know how to feel about her, but also, and maybe more importantly, I don’t know how to feel about myself. I felt something I haven’t felt in a really long time. I felt helpless. I thought about trying to hurt her to get out of her hold but I refrained because I would never hurt her. But now the thing that keeps plaguing me is that I don’t know if I could’ve gotten out of her hold. I don’t know if I could’ve defended myself from her. This feels like it is taking a big toll on my confidence and my self-esteem. Feeling helpless to defend myself from my own girlfriend is a very confusing feeling when I know she didn’t “mean” to do it. Another thing that made me feel even worse was she kept saying (in an apologetic tone, not a mean one) “I do that all the time at practice, with that amount of strength, and it never seems to have that effect on the other person”. That made me feel like she was implying that I was weak or something. Like my neck was somehow easier to choke than the other people in her gym. That made me feel like I was even more helpless than I previously thought.
Please advise, I do not know what to do. (via)
