Fitness was a passion, but I let video games become more important, so I quit working out. Was 280 this time last year, at 5'8". (down to 240, getting back in shape.)

Time for some hard truth.

If you got 120 pounds over what is a reasonable body weight for your height, you're problem isn't quitting, your problem is general laziness. This entire post reads like you're trying to hamster your way into believing you're some paragon of ability when all evidence points to the contrary.

Stop talking about how great you are and learn some discipline. Buckle down and get it done.

I don't think it is your biggest mistake, money,power and fame don't bring much happiness, you didn't want to do it, you are missing the rewards that come with it, but if you can't enjoy the struggle or the road than it's not worth it.

Hilarious.

No girlfriend since 2010, 240 lbs, things have always been easy for me...
Usually quitters quite because they're actually not that gifted and they lack results.
TRP is about lucidity not lying to yourself, there are things you need to figure out to understand what you have to do now.

This ain't even about potential, you need to get your shit together, have the basics: lift, take care of yourself, money... Then you can start talking about potential.

And please stop saying things are easy when you're talking about middle school and a gf from 2010.

Lol it’s funny to me that lazy people with no redeeming qualities believe this about themselves because they got a few good grades in elementary school hahahahah.

Go lift.

Man, it's not "never quit" also - sometimes it doesn't make sense to invest more in a lost cause (a lot of guys stay in dead end jobs or relationships on that basis). Don't be afraid to fail, but strive to get better. Don't deal in absolutes, but always look critically at your life and surroundings.

My story as well, so many wasted opportunities.

Discipline is the small defeats that line the road to a bigger victory...

> Imagine if I had the foresight to live just a little bit disciplined, and never quit, what my life could have been.

​

Could've, would've, should've... Maybe also you'd then be a overthinking anxious soyboy, but a disciplined one.

The past is gone, make your choices now.

Thanks for sharing bro… One thing to point out here, is that will power and discipline isn’t like having blue eyes – a feature that you either lack or have… It’s a skill. Like tennis or hockey you can get better at it and train your brain to get better at staying on the path.

If you want to know your past, look at your current conditions. If you want to know your future, look at your current actions.

Learn that shit inside and out: your current actions set your future conditions. Quitting will give you the life of a quitter. Unless you're fine with that, quitting is not an option.

​

School was easy for me but...I quit, and didn't continue and even come close to my potential.

The military was physically easy for me...I quit trying to get promoted. Again, not coming close to my potential.

Women have always been easy for me...I haven't had a girlfriend since 2010 because she annoyed me and I quit.

​

Stop it. Just stop it.

Haven't seen this level self-rationalization in awhile.

Life is not fucking easy. It's like saying a marathon is easy when you quit 10 minutes in.

​

If you never quit and live with discipline. You may just live up to your potential.

If you quit and live without discipline. You likely won't even realize what your potential could be.

​

Sounds good. Do it.

Writing this is easy. Do it.

​

A general life advice "look for challenges and goals" without them your discipline goes limp and your potential stops meaning anything.
