Conclusion
Ruthlessness is far more than simply being mean. It is far more than just being rude, cruel, or selfish. It is an entirely different way of living in a world where you’re constantly put into the box of compliance. We’ve spent a great deal of time talking about all the different things in this world that are meant to control you. We’ve talked about the different ways people try to get their hooks into you and all the ways that they steal your free will. You might feel like it’s too hard to buck against the trend of society. You might feel intimidated or nervous about the idea of standing up for yourself and refusing to follow the rules that the world has put into place. How many of us in this world are carrying a burden that we never agreed to take on? How many of us are put into positions of compliance even though deep down on the inside we seek to be free?
The reality is that if you want to change your life and become more confident, you’re going to need to learn how to be ruthless. It won’t be easy but that’s okay because looking for the easy way is the enemy in our lives. Comfort breeds weakness and complacency. You must embrace discomfort; you must embrace the rugged and independent life. There is no instruction manual to truly becoming the ruthless individual past but we have shown. It’s easy to have this knowledge in your head, it’s easy to know what the right answers are, but it’s hard to actually implement them. If you really truly want to achieve all these great things in your life, then you’re going to need to start working hard to develop this mindset. It’s possible to achieve all of your goals, to break free of the system that has tried so hard to keep you down, but doing so will take everything that you have to achieve victory.
Stand up for yourself, don’t be afraid and never ever give in to the desire to be like the world around you. You can be a ruthless, strong and smart individual who is able to achieve whatever you put your mind to. You just need to have an attitude of pragmatism, a willingness to question everything and the desire to break free from the corporate machine that has taken over all of our lives.
