You cannot survive where other men have failed

You Cannot Survive Where Other Men Have Failed

There is a dangerous belief spreading among many men today.

A belief so powerful that it has convinced thousands to walk confidently into situations that have already broken stronger men before them.

The belief goes something like this:

"I'm different."

Different from the men who came before.

Different from the ones who left.

Different from the ones who tried and failed.

Different from the ones who thought they had everything under control.

Every generation produces these men.

The rescuers.

The heroes.

The men who believe they possess a special ability to succeed where everyone else has fallen short.

And every generation teaches them the same painful lesson.

Life does not care about confidence.

Reality does not reward assumptions.

And experience is a far greater teacher than optimism.

The strange thing is that warnings rarely work.

A young man can watch others struggle.

He can listen to advice.

He can hear stories.

Yet somehow, he convinces himself that those stories belong to other people.

Not him.

His situation is different.

His love is different.

His understanding is different.

His future is different....
