Mountains and valleys, and stop lying to yourself
Most men lie to themselves.
They believe they're better than they are, in areas that they are not so good.
Blindspots. Valleys that they get stuck in.
Additionally.
Most men lie to themselves.
They don't own their full talent and potential, their areas of brilliance.
Fear. Mountains they won't stand atop.
Additionally.
Most men lie to themselves.
They don't recognize this dichotomy... they smooth out an uneven world, an uneven mind, an uneven character, presenting themselves as entirely balanced and flat.
Delusion. Reality they won't confront.
Additionally.
Most men could do better.
You'd have to take a thorough self-assessment, and own what you're bad at, and - perhaps even more difficult - own all of your potential.
Maddening. Owning your upside means you could fail; owning your downside means you must be honest with yourself.
But.
Additionally.
You would be able to do immensely more for humanity if you did this.
The world isn't flat.
You're not flat.
There's things you're bad at.
Own those.
There's things you could be brilliant at.
Own that too.
Do more. Win.
