He's definitely inspiring. But I tend to struggle with this all-or-nothing mindset, and have a tendency to self sabotage when I try to live my life that way! I think this could be a great mindset for some men, certainly not all, and I agree that a lot would depend on the existing structure. It's definitely a masculine approach. Women are fluid creatures, which is a beautiful thing. We need to give ourselves lots of grace 🤣.
This is a great article. Mental toughness is key. I have lived by some of the 10 rules, but my #2 is not "turn darkness into power," but "avoid the dark, embrace the light." Depends on your goal in life. Mine is to get to heaven. Sometimes you should push yourself beyond limits--physical and mental. "A man's reach should exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for?"
In fairness to Brendan Fraser, I think he had a physical breakdown from all the injuries endured filming his stunts in the movies. He ignored what his body was telling him--heal thy self--and pushed through injuries, not pain. There is a difference.
I hope to do a lot of good for the world with this stuff. And "embrace the light".
But for those that mocked and belittled... i have a special reserve of darkness tucked in deep. It's what motivates me far more than the light. For better or worse.

this is also a mindset of a well structured person.
I find it a lot easier to apply some of his principles now then 3-4 years ago. Despite the fact that i made no effort.
And i bet the same will be with you.
As you improve his principles get easier.
So was it the principles or just structure? Probably combo of both... but more structure in my view.
Makes sense! I look forward to putting this to the test.

for me its not black and white.
