Good morning, X
It’s #ShamelessSelfpromoSaturday
Yesterday, I pitched myself to a US-based company, and I got a positive response almost immediately.
Today, I’m wondering; what if there’s someone who has been waiting for you to make the first move all along?
Take a chance on yourself if you come across this post.
Tell the world who you are, and what you do.
Your next client, employer or collaborator might be lurking👀
They won't reveal to others what they did to you. Rather, they'll merely mention how you responded to their actions. That's a classic manipulation tactic.
Words have shaped our reality more than we realize.
A lot of what we call “normal or natural” has largely been influenced by the meanings we’ve repeatedly attached to it through language.
Take something as simple as the statement:
“Men are naturally polygamous.”
We hear it so often that it starts sounding less like a cultural belief and more like an established fact.
A man cheats and someone says, “What do you expect? Men are naturally polygamous.”
A man struggles with monogamy and suddenly his behaviour is being explained as biology.
Repeat an idea long enough and people can forget that it was an idea in the first place.
They start using it to explain behavior. Eventually, they use it to justify it.
And these goes deeper than just single statements,
Look at how we talk about sex itself.
‘Men sleep with women.’
‘Women are slept with.’
The language quietly assigns a position one person acts, the other is acted upon.
And this isn’t universal; different languages and cultures describe intimacy very differently,
which should makes you wonder how much of what we call ‘natural’ is really just reinforced by the words we chose to describe it.
Words don’t just describe reality. They give us the framework we use to interpret it.
The words we use to describe people shape how we see them.
The words we use to describe relationships shape what we expect from them. And the words repeated about ourselves eventually become how we understand ourselves.
So maybe one of the most underrated forms of influence is simply knowing which words and ideas we repeat because eventually they stop sounding like ideas.
Before we change the behavior, we must examine the language we used to explain it.
It's better to say a lot and express how you feel than to say nothing and let it mess you up instead. Silence isn't strength when it’s destroying you from the inside.
One day you'll realize you weren't asking for too much; you were just asking the wrong person. The right environment will never make you feel like a burden.
