I blew years on all this 'traditional' self-help - positive thinking, affirmations, fake it till you make it, Tony Robbins stuff, even therapy
I'd grind like hell, then bam, crash right back down
Anxious as fuck, feeling unloved, unwanted, beating myself up nonstop
Then I had my 'Aha' moment: every one of those 'traditional approaches' is in fact just different strategies to do the very same thing - rewriting your beliefs
And they do it in a very lengthy and clumsy way
People will respect you only whe you respect yourself already
Because most people are followers, too lazy and too scared to think for themselves
And so they will simple follow your lead
@PUA_DATING_TIPS People will respect you only whe you respect yourself already

Most people understand that their beliefs are who they are
And that's correct
Most people, however, don't understand that they can form their belief system into whatever shape and form they desire
And thus becoming a better version of themselves
When you truly believe in yourself and your own worth, it becomes very easy to say “No” when you feel like saying “No.”
No guilt
No explanations
No need to please people
Just you and what you want
When you chase perfection, you inevitably give up on reality
Do you understand?
True perfection in human life is impossible... because life is way too complex, chaotic, and messy
Chasing perfection is just a fancy way of staying stuck
@LibertyCappy Trauma fixed... Story not as powerful, though
There's a reason why the horse must die... so you feel like you need to read it again... and it truly can become The Never-ending Story
“You can’t know where your limits are if you’ve never tested them”
It’s an overused cliché, but it’s still true
Here’s another cliché/truth:
Most men live such cowardly lives
that they couldn’t see their real limits
even with the Hubble Space Telescope
@culturehedonist 'Most people live lives full of quiet desperation'
So does she... and she wants to escape it, and wants her man to be the means of that escape
A stable guy living in his head can't do it for her
It not that she loves toxicity... it's that she hates boredom
When was the last time you solved a real problem by getting emotional about it?
Think about it...
I bet that the only time that ever worked was when you were a kid throwing a tantrum to get ice cream
Yet, most adults still consider that an outstanding strategy
Feelings are great
You need them to actually enjoy life
But letting your feelings lead your life — as most people do these days — is simply idiotic
You can never build a long-term strategy with 'feelings'
Your beliefs are the GPS of your life
If it’s set to the wrong destination, you can drive full speed for years, feeling productive, thinking “this time I'm gonna get somewhere nice”
And still end up exactly where you don’t want to be
Master your beliefs
Your subconscious doesn’t give a fuck about what you “want” or “hope"
It only obeys what you, deep down, believe you deserve
It will move mountains, bend reality, sabotage you, or elevate you...
Whatever it takes to make your beliefs come true
No exceptions
When you know you don't understand something, that can be rectified easily
When you don't understand that you don't understand something, then you've got a serious problem
When you believe you understand something even though you don't, that's a disaster waiting to happen
Everybody strives towards having a better life... including women (Yeah, real surprise)
Women know they will have a better life when the man they manage to get is much better than them
If you're the one who's 'lucky' to found her... you're not better than her at all
Simple math
