I wrote up a little inspirational post that I thought would help some people on here:

http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2011/03/the...-life.html

Basically a hallmark of what I write about is you really be who you want to be.

Life is tough, but if you believe it can happen.

Don't let anyone stop you from living the life you want.

Take it.

Good article. Definitely some nice examples of success.

If there's one thing I really believe in, it's mental toughness.

Most things worth having in life don't come without a fight.

Keep your eyes on prize, stay hungry, and never let anyone take your heart.

You gotta go out and get it. People who talk behind your back and hate are just jealous for whatever reason. This site is very inspirational for a young guy

I see this as the "Spiritual" part of the Game. A lot of guys want serious results but they don't take the Game serious. They think you can just go out on the weekends, have a few drinks, talk to couple chicks and they are gonna turn into George Clooney. Nothing great is easy.

Its the same for Boxing, Basketball, or Business. (and everything else)

If you wanna become great, you gotta eat, sleep, and breathe, this shit.

Like legendary San Francisco Player "Fillmore Slim" always says...

"If you respect the Game, the Game will respect you"

There are no shortcuts to greatness.

You East Coast boys should study the minds of the Rza, the Gza, and of course Jay-Z.

good read. I try not to have any regrets but one I do have is not realizing this when I was a lot younger. I guess back then I didn't know what I really wanted, and once I did I started the act-as-if and the nothing can stop me mentality, but it really can be applied to anything. I feel like if I was on this back when I was 17 instead of spending time getting fucked up my moves would be a lot more major today. they should make high school kids read the 48 laws of power lol
