A friend spoke to me about feeling insecure and possibly never being a master at his craft.

Like a gold medalist olympic athlete or the #1 scientist in a specific field.

I had an answer to it (You may not like it)

"I'm worried I'll never be the best at anything"

Well man, since you're saying those words to me right now, you very well may not ever be the best.

"Are you kidding me? Aren't you supposed to encourage me?"

Alright then listen up-

What is stopping you from being the best?

"Time. I have the focus I have the motivation, I want to be the best. But I'm 31 now and don't give me crap about Bezos, Musk, or Jobs being old when they broke through"

Okay, then do you know what a Set Up Generation is?

"The f*ckin what?"

Don't you think that gold medalist had a dad, or a parent that supported them? Drove them to practice?

What about that #1 scientist, who bought them the books and their first lab coat?

"You're saying I'll never be the best aren't you"

No..

I'm saying if you're the best at being healthy, making the best choices right now for yourself, you can set up your son.

"Give my son everything I didn't have? Isn't that spoiling him?"

Give your next generation time and the seed of greatness for them to grow.

A Set Up Generation is everything in growing that person that is #1

"You ain't sh*t, that was a long winded answer for saying it's okay that I'm not the best, as long as I'm the best version of myself for my kids"

Uh yeah, take care of yourself my dude.
