Not fitting in with the education system doesn’t mean you won’t be successful.
That’s what they tell you.
That’s what they want you to believe.
That’s what they tell the parents.
That’s what your parents end up telling you.
I can tell you right now that just because someone doesn’t fit the mold of the education system, it doesn’t make them a failure.
I graduated with a 1.9 GPA (Dan Griener) AND was kicked out of community college.
It wasn’t until I found a passion that I had a “why” to actually try in school and finish college (which for the record, I use exactly 0% of MY education).
I knew the entire fucking time that what I was being taught is irrelevant to real life.
I was in the hall for 25% of the classes for not fitting in. I was put into a special school district study hall because I refused to take my Adderall (the drug they give you to fit in line with the rest of the class since you are different).
Real life doesn’t even start until graduation day, and on that day, the real game starts.
Graduating near last in my class means that every time I see them, there is a 95% chance they did better than me in high school. And there is a 99% chance I am doing better than them now professionally.
I still know people who graduated with 3.8 GPA’s who are working jobs making less than $40k/year 10 years after high school.
Don’t let your past failures dictate your future. Don’t hold on to it. If anything, use it as fuel to prove the system wrong.

Powerful Quotes
You have to do the work. No one is going to do it for you. No one is going to deal with your childhood shit. No one is going to fix your unhealthy relational patterns. No one is going to heal you from the outside. You must do it from the inside–Conor Beaton.
Golf is a game of inches. The most important is the six inches between your ears–Arnold Palmer.
Anyone can have PTSD. It’s not only for war veterans but that’s where it’s most commonly associated. For me, I just think it’s all about taking care of yourself.
Mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities can cope with the normal stressors of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make contributions to his or her community.
People love to talk about their problems because it makes them feel like they understand something at a very deep level without actually having to take any accountability for them–Jason Selk.
Most medicines will cover up a problem, so you can’t really see it at the time. So I really believe focussing on your mental health can fix a lot of the issues.
I’m not saying anybody to stop taking medicine, but I would say if there’s an opportunity for you to fix it yourself, I would try that.
There’s a ton of mental, not just the physical benefits of exercise. No matter what it is. Even little things like getting out for a walk can drastically improve your mood.

Powerful Quotes
A man’s work begins in pain. It begins in us being able to look at our lives in a very real way and say, why am I suffering?
I’m very grateful for having put in the work to be the man that I am today to give my son the best chance possible in a world that is admittedly radically chaotic.
Some men feel like frogs because they’re not owning who they are or what they’re actually doing in their life.
