Discouragement is simple; all you need to do is fail once, twice, three times, or even a little more. Only a few disappointments, betrayals, rejections, and dejections are required to accept the defeat mindset.
You can even predict your next failure based on a few signs, which is all it takes for a person to completely give up, but this is not the "hustling man."
The Hustling Man
A hustling man is someone who works tirelessly to better his own and his family's lives. He puts in the work when others are sleeping, taking risks, overtaking difficult ventures and putting in blood and sweat.
The hustling man exemplifies loyalty. He understands his responsibilities, and he is never satisfied with mediocrity; despite the various limitations of life, he has continued to work hard, putting in the hours and effort, and never giving up.
Sacrificial Awareness
The typical hustling man is the person who realizes they cannot raise kids in a war-torn area, and they risk everything to migrate their kids to a better country even at the expense of their (own) lives.
They're the people who are two steps ahead, they realize they that one job cannot sustain them, so they go ahead to take on two jobs so their wives or husband can get more degree and in turn, help the family.
The hustling man is financially conscious, understands the meaning of repercussions and consequences, and strives to make better decisions whenever possible. They are the people who spend 50% and save the other 50%; they understand the concept of "rainy days" and work hard to plan for them.
The hustling man is not the type to engage in unprotected sex when they are aware of the consequences, particularly when faced with unexpected responsibilities.
They're not the type to chronically purse or seek pleasures, they're weary of the byproducts of excessive fun, and where it might potentially lead them and why they prepare for it.
These guys are the ones who see things that others do not.
Foresight in a blind spot
They have good foresight and are always suspicious when people are relaxed, fearful when people are partying, and opportunistic when others are scared.
It is easy to believe that the hustling man is ideal: able-bodied, strong, agile, active, and strong. Unfortunately, they are not. In fact, they are not necessarily men; they could be women who have comfortably assumed the role of men and made difficult decisions in the past. They are wayfinders, trailblazers, alphas, and people who have stood the test of time, surviving difficult eras and changes and adapting to life's ever-changing trends.
Generation Wealth Families Have the hustling man
If you look closely at a family with generational wealth, you will notice a hustling man who has made significant sacrifices to ensure that their generation is never poor again.
They may be dead or alive, but their actions are often immortalized and can be seen in the lives of future generations.
People who do not have a typical hustling man in their families or lives are somehow handicapped in life. We can not all be "hustling men," because it takes a special kind of ingenuity to "be" these people.
When we can not be one, we desperately need these people. They could be a benefactor, a friend, or someone who significantly changes the course of a person's or group's life for the better.
In fact, they may not even need to be wealthy; they may simply be a genius among many; a person who can significantly solve problems and come up with incredible solutions to complex problems.
Unfortunately the world isn't filled with a lot of hustling men.
This is why pre-wise people can be foolish for the rest of their lives, never realizing their inner "Hercules."
Sometimes people are like lamps in need of light, and there are those who are "light" enough to simply light up the lives of others without depleting their own. As I previously stated, we cannot all be geniuses or heroes, and as a result, we require individuals who can make us stand out, advocate for us, and even significantly improve our lives.
Many people do not have the typical hustling man around them, which is unfortunate because all of their gifts, talents, potentials, and capabilities will never be realized; they will die within themselves. Can a regular person be a hustling man?
Yes.
We are far more capable, and life's experiences can sometimes bring out the best in us.
For example, losing a close friend because we could not afford their surgery may make us paranoid about never wanting to die poor. The fear of the unexpected can serve as motivation.
Negativity can be used as a positive motivator to work or struggle harder; pain, fear, discrimination, and stigma can turn us into the typical hustling man, and this is how we go about raising a generation of mentally strong people; however, the hustling man can also potentially raise weak people, because weak people are born out of comfort and complacency.
