The unhappy, the unlucky, the weary, the broken

Being weak, chaotic and unlucky makes you depressed. Being depressed makes you weak, chaotic and unlucky. Being weak, chaotic and unlucky makes you depressed...

“A couple of decades ago this acronym popped up and became real popular.

“FML”, which stands for “F*** My Life”. And a lot of women will purport or hold up publicly that they’re victims of things. ‘My boss is this’, ‘Becky in HR did this, that and the other thing’. Their car’s never working, it’s got bumps and scratches and dings in it all over the place, and it’s always somebody else’s fault.

“The thing with women who are always unhappy, unlucky and inviting chaos into their life, it’s generally because they hold a terrible belief system that is used to make choices that generate awful results.

“You always become the average of the people you spend the most time with, and if you’re going to deal with a woman on a long-term basis that is unhappy and unlucky and makes bad choices and has bad results, she’s basically going to make her problems your problems.”

This is from a segment of the “What is Money?” Podcast last year, hosted by Robert Breedlove, advocate, philosopher, entrepreneur and communicator of all things Bitcoin.

This speaker was slightly different from Breedlove’s typical guests, often similar BTC advocates, philosophers and entrepreneurs.

Richard Cooper is the author of The Unplugged Alpha: The No Bullsh*t Guide To Winning With Women & Life.

From the blurb of Cooper’s book:

“Most men today are sent off into society with a broken belief system, which they use to make choices, that get them terrible results with life and women. Men have been conditioned to be the quintessential ‘nice guy.’ They're trained to be overly humble, kind to a fault, and that just "being themselves" is enough to attract and keep the woman of their dreams. Men are told to believe that conventional masculinity is toxic, and to put women ahead of their own interests, passions, and purpose. This has led to an entire generation of men forming very unhealthy attachments to women that they, unfortunately, often make their sole focus of their lives. The playbook to women and life has changed, but most men missed the memo. Do you want to succeed, and level up in every area of your life?”

For a long time, I invited chaos into my life.

For a long time, I was one of those unhappy and unlucky people.

For a long time, I was that nice guy, a broken belief system very much intact.

Here’s what happened.
