This is Part 1 of my series: Being. It takes a look at different elements to greatly improve not only your internal state, but also your outer success. Combining these four elements, you can achieve the impossible. Once ready, be sure to finish the series by reading Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
Ever since I have taken a step back from going out (other than to run bootcamp), the epiphany moments I receive seem to dawn on me quite frequently. I can’t say I’m really surprised to be honest. With a lot of extra time lately, I’ve been hanging out with my cousin a lot. He’s one who has played a big role in my life. My extended family is Roman Catholic, and other than my cousin and me, nobody I know of has experimented much with drugs. This caused my cousin and me to get close simply because we could empathize with each other, share stories and also our experiences. Other than when he lived with my family earlier in my life, we haven’t had a lot of time together, say once every few months or so.
In June I moved to a basement suite two blocks away from where he lives. This was very exciting for me because it would allow us an easier access to spend time together. Needless to say, I’ve been hanging out with him a lot. So the other day he invited me out to the local community pub. I arrived and was quite surprised to see him sitting across from another friend of mine – a bouncer at one of the popular clubs in Calgary. Both of them are artists, and I enjoy speaking with them because it allows me the opportunity to receive a totally abstract perspective and different point of view from that I typically get.
At one point my cousin went into about a 30 minute rant. The next 30 minutes re-opened to my eyes to a concept I had been neglecting (along with many others). I have asked him to write a guest post about it, so be on the look-out for this soon. However today I’m going to cover one of the basic concepts he talked about: Being thankful.
This concept was a major player in my recovery from depression in 2007. I watched the movie “The Secret”, and even though it has taken a lot of criticism for its extreme point of views, it did make quite a few good points. One suggestion it gave was that every morning you wake up, the first thing you should do is say “Thank You”. That’s it, simple, wam bam thank you mam! Actively practicing this for a few weeks had a profound effect on my mood, and more importantly, my behaviour.
Too often nowadays everybody wants to have complete control. It’s even the whole basis of this seduction community! I cannot blame anybody for taking actions to gain control over situations, and especially not their own lives, however, I do think we all need to take a step back and just say thanks. The next time you have approach anxiety, take a step back, a deep breath, and just say thank you – thank you for the opportunity to be in this situation, one in which you are able to go approach a beautiful woman. Even if you don’t leave with her on your arm or number in hand, at the very least you went for it, put yourself out there, and remained thankful the whole time. This is really all that divine reality can ask for.
Thank you.
