1. Do for self. Friends and family will only help you if they have to, not necessarily cause they want to. And if they do, be prepared to be degraded for it. Put yourself in a position to always be able to provide for yourself. Dont overextend yourself to help others either.
The first 8 months or so of 2013 I was doin pretty good with money. Always gave my friends and family money if they needed it, never asked for it back. Whether I had it or not. I went a month here and there skipping my car insurance bill...or my credit card bill...just to make sure people close to me had money to eat, or get to work, etc. Last couple months of the year I was short on ends...it was like pulling teeth to borrow enough money from these same people to pay my damn cell phone bill. Instead of trying to lend a helping hand I should have kept up with my own bills and paid off some of my court fees. I would be in a much better position right now if I would have done that. From now on I'm only helping other people if I have absolutely NOTHING of my own that needs attention.
2. Start taking the steps necessary to be where you want to be in life.
I figured out what I want to do professionally, and where I want to live. That was step 1. Now I need to take steps, no matter how small, towards reaching those goals. Even those baby steps add up. A quote I like from Mad Men, "pennies make pounds. and pounds make profits." Sure a penny by itself is insignificant, but a hundred of them make a dollar. And a hundred of those make a $100. And a hundred of those make $10,000.
3. Relationships should be mutually beneficial. If it isnt, then you need to end it.
I spent too much time chasing p*ssy in 2013. If I woulda invested 1/2 that time, energy, and money into myself I'd be making a lot more money right now, ergo probably getting a lot more p*ssy. I'm going to put a hold on chasing women for awhile....its done nothing but keep me stagnant. I have no interest in getting one of these hoes pregnant and stuck paying child support, or worse stuck with them trying to raise a kid. I have no interest in derailing my personal goals for female, or even putting a female 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in order of importance when it comes to my life. Therefore I am not going to sacrifice anything for any relationship. If I find a female thats cool with that then good. If not, oh well. I need to be free to make decisions without worrying about how thats going to hurt my significant other or whatever.

couldn't have worded this better myself.
