The only thing that matters for a man in life to be successful in all areas is competence.
It is not money, not muscles, not "intellect", not "mindset", not status, not connections... It's competence.
If you have money but are afraid of things and can't come up with cool ideas and do whatever you want, you will be miserable.
If you are jacked, but are fearful and resentful, are affraid of women and can't even talk, you will be miserable.
If you are intelligent and know everything, but can't dominate and make things happen, you will be miserable.
If you have high status or are popular, but are naive and needy, you will be miserable.
Life rewards competence. Money, strength, intellect, status, and anything else has value because it gives you competence and leverage. Without competence, these are just tools you don't know how to use.
If you want an exciting life and success in every area, focus on becoming competent. And for that uou need to be curious and brave. Go explore the world. Everything will click when it is time.
