Thanks for this thread, I think the forum needs more of this kind of energy.
My life has completely turned around since COVID for the better, I found Christ, joined the Church, married a wonderful woman (they are out there!!), and while career and finance is currently a struggle due to trying to jump ship from a dying industry (and a decade of poor decision-making), with God's help I believe it will turn around very soon.
Great advice, I have been a taker for most of my life and it is one of my biggest regrets. Not only for missed opportunities for giving but because I've created a lot of behavioral inertia where I still don't even think to be giving or generous in many cases when the opportunity presents itself. Seeing how generous others can be is greatly inspiring when I see it and I hope to do more and more when I can.
I don't feel that I have much wisdom to share at this time, other than the redpill basics... exercise, talk to women even if they're not someone you'd be interested to date or marry, always have a mission, don't spend too much time online... you are what you eat physically and digitally.
Learn your strengths and weaknesses and be honest with yourself. In terms of your weaknesses, try to gauge if they're something you need to work on or improve, or if they are rather innate and you should tailor your mission around them. For example, for a long time I wanted to be a creator, pioneer, leader, out of ego and glory-driven reasons. But I discovered with time and experience that I am innately much more of a facilitator, an editor, a mediator, someone who supplements, adds and revises rather than creating the initial spark and drive. Since accepting this humbling reality, I've become much less jealous and competitive with others, and less hard on myself, and instead clearly seen how and where I can effectively collaborate.
