Let’s set the stage, dear friends. We live in a world where men are energy givers, women energy receivers. Sounds simple, right? But oh, what a tangled web we weave when the energy exchange goes haywire! So, grab your cup of joe or that glass of chardonnay, and let’s dive into this juicy bit of controversy.
Now, I’ve heard whispers about my previous posts, about them burdening the fairer sex with the brunt of the relationship responsibility. Guilty as charged, darlings! You see, men, bless our competitive hearts, we're destined to release, and women, by their very nature, are destined to receive.
Imagine the energy as water, your hearts as buckets. Men will pour into your bucket – be it love, frustration, admiration, or annoyance. You, ladies, have to decide how much of it you wish to carry. Now here comes the catch – the size of your bucket and what you allow to fill it. You get to be the gatekeepers of your emotional realm. Ain’t that a kicker?
Picture this: it’s game day, and you, my lovely lady, have no interest in the sport. You disrupt his focus, he’s frustrated, and voila, your bucket gets a dose of 'regular' energy. Now both of you are livid! He’s off to work the next day, grumbling about wanting a wife who lets him watch the game.
Enter stage right: the charming co-worker who loves sports. Suddenly, he's tempted by a different 80%. This endless cycle can carry on until break-ups or divorce, only to realize, we men started this problem!
And so, ladies, to avoid any more heartache, you decided to become "independent". You threw a brick in your bucket, ensuring it would never overflow. You put up walls, branding it as being 'comfortably single'. And somewhere along this journey, you lost the ability to subtly suggest, to softly guide.
But here’s a funny thing about being an "independent" woman – you can accumulate wealth and material comforts, but when your maternal instinct kicks in, you’re back in the receiving end, yearning for the warmth of sexual energy.
Your directness, a trait that made you a boss in the first place, can excite us men. However, it can also lead to an unintended release of sexual energy before love, creating confusion and misunderstandings.
See, my friends, the confidence gap is the real villain here. We, men, need the courage to stay, to believe that we’re chosen for something more than just sexual energy. And you, ladies, need the faith to let us stay, to guide us subtly, to help us understand what you truly desire.
At the end of the day, all I’m saying is let’s play the game fairly. Let’s understand the power we hold over each other’s buckets and fill them with love, understanding, and respect.
As always, be fabulously selfish. Revel in your happiness, and let others witness the magic.
Remember, “If you can’t see your success, change your vantage point.”
What’s the price tag of your date night? Sure, you might think it's all about the swanky restaurant, the top-shelf wine, or the exclusive VIP nightclub passes. But honey, it’s about much more! Your time, your attention, and, oh, let's not forget, the secret currency of all relationships – energy.
Alright, buckle up because we're diving into the wild, wacky world of dating dynamics. This is a tale of two energies – regular and sexual. The 80/20 rule, that cheeky little scamp, says you get 80% of your kicks from 20% of your relationships. Sounds confusing? Welcome to my world!
Imagine you’re dating an alpha dog, the star football player or the irresistible heartthrob. You're his 80%. He wines and dines you, you receive his energy, and voila – you're on cloud nine! You feel alive, desirable, and oh-so-special.
Now, let me spill a secret here. You’re at dinner, indulging in the best culinary delights your beau can buy. But every cent he spends isn’t just for the steak or the wine. It's to keep you away from your 20%, your comfortable friend zone pal, your faithful BFF. Suddenly, you're not just dining; you’re part of an energy exchange!
You’re probably asking, "What's wrong with that?" Nothing! Except you’re trading your comfort for a high, a rush that comes with alpha energy. But remember, love comes before sex in the natural energy order. Mix up the sequence, and you’re in for a world of confusion.
Oh, how I remember an old flame of mine, a stunning redhead named Daisy. She was my 80%, and she reveled in the alpha energy I provided. Until one day, she asked, "Is this all there is?" That, my dear friends, was the day Daisy decided she was worth more than fancy dinners and high-octane nights. She sought love, not just sexual energy.
So, here’s the deal, ladies. If you’re someone’s 80%, charge more for your time. Get out of your comfort zone and start hinting that you’re ready for more. Flirt, push boundaries, steer the energy in your direction. You've got power! Use it to build the relationship you desire.
As for the guys, don’t just bank on sexual energy to keep her interested. Show her love. It's okay to be the "bestie," the one who gets her, the one she can count on. Remember, in love and in war, timing is everything.
Be unapologetically selfish. Because when you find happiness, you're giving others a chance to witness it too.
Remember, "If you can’t see your success, change your vantage point.”
In our quest for success, we often misinterpret the use of our energy. Instead of directing it towards the things that truly serve us, we tend to bottle it up or misuse it in an attempt to impress others. Energy, in its purest form, should flow – released and received in a constant cycle, but we often find ourselves directing it at things that don't truly serve us.
Consider this scenario: a young man yearns for the attention of a high school sweetheart, but she's drawn to the star football player. Without the confidence to express his feelings, he redirects his energy towards mirroring what he believes she desires. He builds muscles, amasses wealth, and pumps up his confidence. While on the surface this may seem positive, there's a fundamental issue: he's not being selfish – he's being selfless.
He sacrifices his own passion and identity to impress someone else or to evade potential rejection. In this process, the achievement becomes a potent cocktail of undirected sexual energy, a sensation of dominance that could potentially turn addictive. The result? A psychological addiction that escalates with each release when love is absent.
Jay Z and Beyonce once referred to Hollywood as the world's most addictive drug. To me, this Hollywood syndrome represents the addictive cycle of releasing and receiving sexual energy. The rush of being desired, of feeling powerful – it's like a heady, intoxicating drug.
Imagine a woman who, through association with an alpha male, is elevated in status. She's now the object of many men's desires, she's envied by women – she's at the center of attention. But as she matures, she realizes that she's chasing an elusive, superficial high – that her alpha male represents the 80% who can only fill her bucket with 20% of the energy she craves.
The quest for 'The One' – the partner who requires more than just sexual energy – takes both men and women through a series of relationships. 'The One' demands the release of love first, followed by sexual energy. 'The One' offers the best of both worlds: a bucket filled with love and sexual energy.
For a man, 'The One' helps channel his energy towards his passions. For a woman, she finds a partner who radiates confidence and offers her a satisfying blend of love and sexual energy. This balanced dynamic replaces the need for the addictive Hollywood syndrome, the artificial high of fame, and the superficial glow of the limelight.
Ever seen a man in the friend zone of the woman he adores? Or a woman longing for the man who showers her with love but lacks the confidence to make a move? Welcome to the love labyrinth, my friends. The intricate dance of emotions playing out here beautifully exemplifies the 80/20 rule in relationships.
A quick refresher on this rule: it’s the notion that 20% of your relationship gives you 80% of your happiness. Sounds skewed, right? Well, let me illustrate with a relatable example. Look into your wardrobe. You’ll find that you wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time. It's about finding the small portion that yields the maximum satisfaction.
In this puzzling game of hearts, the man often falls for a woman who fills his happiness bucket 80% of the time, possesses most of the qualities he seeks in a mate. However, owing to a twist in fate, he ends up releasing his pent-up sexual energy into another woman, who represents the remaining 20%. This relationship matrix spins further out of control when he exhibits supreme confidence with his 80% woman, yet stumbles when dealing with his 20%. The end result? A cocktail of confusion and misplaced energy.
Now, let's switch gears and look at it from the woman's perspective. Despite the man’s lack of confidence in expressing his feelings, he fills her love bucket. However, to tip over into the realm of complete fulfillment, she craves the super-octane fuel – sexual energy.
As the man continues to do all the romantic things - long walks, cozy dinners, intimate conversations – yet hesitates to unleash his sexual energy, she finds herself still longing for more. Thus, enters another man, who fills her up with the much-needed sexual energy, lighting her up, making her feel alive.
Here’s the fascinating, and somewhat tragic part: she knows that this man represents 80% of men who can only fill her with 20% of the energy she needs. It's the quintessential relationship conundrum: a woman's bucket filled by two donors, with a man releasing his energy into more than one bucket.
In an ideal world, we shouldn't split our energy between multiple recipients. Especially not after we've experienced love. As we grow and understand our sexual energy, it's essential to express confidence with our chosen partners, releasing all our energy into one bucket. In doing so, we not only take the pressure off ourselves but also foster a healthier relationship. In essence, removing the conundrum leaves us with just the relationship.
Alcohol, folks, is like a wild party in a bottle, a liquid pulsating with a sexual energy-like charisma. The catch? It's a master at amplifying your emotions. Picture it as a prism reflecting your feelings in myriad colors. It’s not the high-octane rush of sexual energy, but its formula mirrors it.
When you’re down in the dumps, alcohol might lead you on a tear-streaked journey. On the other hand, if you’re radiating positivity or brimming with love, it might transform you into an affectionate teddy bear.
So remember, friends, alcohol is like a revealing mirror. It peels away your shields and uncovers your true emotions.
Now, let's bring men into the picture. Picture a man who's been amping up his tank with sexual energy, and then alcohol comes into play. Boom! Things escalate real quick. If his feelings are anything but love, he's ready to brawl. But if love's the culprit, he's looking to, ahem, "get down to business."
Ladies, here’s your turn. When your emotional bucket is filled with negativity, alcohol tends to provoke a masculine response, making you feel invincible, even imagining taking down a man in a fight. On the flip side, when love's got your bucket brimming, and alcohol's added to the mix, it nudges you towards releasing sexual energy. Caution, ladies! Proceed with care, unless unexpected consequences don't faze you.
In short, alcohol is like an emotion enhancer. It amplifies the three forms of energy - love, negativity, and sexual - leaving you in a whirlpool of confused feelings. Unless you have control over your emotions, this confusion can lead to dependency.
Marijuana, my dear friends, is like a symphony of love. It relaxes your mind, opens new channels of thought - the telltale signs of love energy. It's like a key that unlocks your subconscious mind, flooding it with ideas about things you cherish. When you’re under its influence, releasing sexual energy feels purely physical. Plus, marijuana-induced killing sprees? That's a narrative you don't hear.
I believe Marijuana's illegal status is tied to its feel-good factor. This joyful state can lead to creative, self-focused ideas, which may seem revolutionary or unconventional to some.
Let me drop some truth here. You're in charge of your own love saga, folks. You're the skipper steering your love boat towards the mystical island of ‘Happily Ever After.’ It’s like the iconic poem, Invictus, you're the boss of your fate, the lead actor in your romantic comedy.
Picture this: Your best friend, the one who's stuck around through your dramatic breakups and weird obsessions, happens to be of the opposite sex. You've both been in this Platonic purgatory for years, believing that dating each other would be as disastrous as pineapple on pizza. I beg to differ!
In this energy-charged dance, there's always one doing the tango of love. Often, this tango manifests subtly, hidden under layers of friendly banter and harmless suggestions.
Once upon a time, I had a client. Let's call him John. John was stuck in this situation, holding a torch for his best friend who was blissfully unaware. Over the years, he silently filled her love bucket but never managed to refill his own. As John's romantic energy turned into sexual tension, he struggled to make her see his feelings for her. His other relationships fell apart because all his love was parked in her heart, leaving only negativity to share with others. All the while, his best friend remained oblivious to his coded messages, resulting in a self-fulfilling prophecy of a relationship doomed before it even began.
Flip the coin and meet Jane, another client. Jane was filling up her love tank, banking on her best friend to eventually see the light. But here's the tricky part. Jane, just like many of us, had her insecurities. She questioned if her love was enough, if her capacity to love was as big as she thought. And you know what? Her insecurities were like a brick, blocking the way to her heart and holding back the love she truly deserved.
Let's clear one thing up, folks. The idea that things just ‘happen’ - nah, it’s a myth. Remember that steamy eye contact with a stranger at a party? It was no random coincidence, darling. Those shared emotions were all because he turned up the charm, lit the spark, and played the game of attraction with finesse.
Hey there, sexy souls! Ever thought about your first love, that sweet little girl or boy from the good old days? Buckle up, we're heading down a trail of memories that may just reignite that childhood flame.
Remember when you were just a sprout of nine? You and the cutie from across the street, partners in crime since the sandbox, spent hours transforming the wooden playground into your secret castle. One fateful evening, as the setting sun cast a golden glow on her face, you thought, "Dang, she’s stunning!" But, as the innocent little rascal you were, you brushed off that enchanting moment, returning to your playdate like nothing happened. Your parents saw you two as lovebirds in training, while you bravely protected her, the young Alpha in shining armor.
Then, just like a romantic plot twist, her dad’s new job relocated them across town, and the playdates came to a sudden halt. It felt like your hearts were being separated forever.
Fast forward to your college years. You're at a different university in another part of the state. She’s somewhere else too. Attending a love conference with the infamous Swagger Coach, a sense of familiarity washes over you as the Coach narrates a tale eerily similar to yours. With every sentence, your heart pounds harder, memories flood back, and there it is—that picture of her in the golden sunlight, forever etched in your mind.
You get lost in your inner dialogue, pondering a barrage of what-ifs. As the Coach's voice fades into a thunderous hum, his shouts of "YES!" matched by the crowd's affirmations, you begin to unravel the depth of your feelings. Amidst this turmoil, you realize you've left your cell phone at your seat. The relief of finding it in your vest pocket is short-lived as you feel a familiar energy around you.
Walking towards your car with an overpriced soda in hand, you see her. Yes, HER. Amid the hustle and bustle, you clumsily bump into someone, attracting everyone's attention. Then you hear it, your name in her voice. There she is, standing in front of you, and you both start talking as if you're twelve again.
As the sun begins to set, you see the twelve-year-old girl in her, and this time, you audibly tell her, "You're beautiful."
This was a tale of young, innocent love, where he felt good around her, and in return, filled her bucket with love. As a naive child, he didn’t understand the intense feelings he had for her. However, upon recognizing her beauty, his sexual energy emerged for the first time.
These early love experiences often result in a bond with that 'bucket.' And even if she isn’t the original love or an exact replica, a man will eventually seek a replacement.
Young, immature relationships are often filled with unreciprocated feelings. But what if that girl, your childhood flame, was your 'rib,' your soulmate, and you didn't even know it? The beauty of this 'rib' connection is that, like a boomerang, it eventually returns to its owner.
That sense of completion when you're with your 'rib,' that unspoken understanding, that tumultuous love-hate relationship—it's all part of the magnetic pull between two connected souls. And it's up to you whether you want to reunite with your 'rib' or let it go.
So, if you're reading this together, remember how innocent and immature you were, and how those experiences shaped your reunion. Love is the most powerful energy, and there's only one 'bucket' designed for you. ALLOW HIM TO LOVE YOU! ALLOW HER TO LOVE YOU! Keep this love cycle spinning, like a merry-go-round with infinite passes and endless time. It's all good!
Remember, always be 'fuching selfish.' It's through witnessing your happiness that others can see the same in themselves.
“If you can’t see your success, change your vantage point”
Hey, lovers and love-seekers! Buckle up because we're about to embark on a tantalizing journey into the high-octane world of relationships and that elusive attribute we like to call S.W.A.G. Ready? Good, because I’m dying to share some dynamite insights, served with a side of flirty humor.
You're all too familiar with gas stations, right? Now, imagine people—yes, you and me—as those fascinating fuel pumps. Men are the generators, creating energy that women happily store. Oh, but don't underestimate our female counterparts, they've got their own sustainable energy production, too!
Regular is the energy equivalent of that late-night Netflix binge—an easy fix but not so great in the long run. Next, we've got Plus, the classy energy of love—think of it as the Dom Pérignon of feelings. And finally, Premium, the racehorse of energies, powerful, intense, and hmmm... sexually charged!
Let me share a little secret from my younger years. I was a total Regular guy—cheap, readily available, but somewhat destructive. Once I discovered my Plus and Premium energy, my love life shifted gears dramatically. Trust me, unleashing your inner Lamborghini beats being a clunky old jalopy.
Now, let's talk about that perplexing puzzle. Why do men pick women with small energy buckets, and women opt for men who can’t quite fill theirs up? Brace yourself for a sharp turn into the intriguing world of S.W.A.G.
Men often lean towards a smaller bucket—mostly due to a love-first, sex-second approach. It’s like expecting a juicy steak dinner and settling for a quick burger. Sure, it's tasty, but it leaves you craving for more. Ladies, on the other hand, are quite the tacticians. They pick guys who just can’t fill their buckets, making them spill all their love and sexual energy. Clever, isn’t it?
Some crafty folks have cracked the code of this energy dance. Ever seen a guy driving a Bentley on a McDonald’s salary? That's a perfect metaphor for someone releasing sexual energy before love. It’s like the Plus energy gets bumped to the backseat. The downside? It's a rather bumpy ride and can end up with one’s heart in the repair shop.
Women pull off a similar trick. They find men who give it all but still leave some room in the bucket. This constant shortfall pushes them to refill their own buckets or stick with the memory of the man who once did.
Time for the grand reveal: S.W.A.G. is the magic touch that converts this chaotic energy dance into a passionate tango. It's your unique charm, your irresistible smile, your special brand of charisma, and your boundless energy all wrapped into one. With S.W.A.G, you're like a magnet for both sexes. Everyone wants a piece of your energy, and boy, are you ready to share!
When women channel their S.W.A.G, they become an irresistible force. Men are drawn to them like bees to honey, competing to fill their big buckets.
Greetings, lovers! Ever felt like a wild panther, stealthy and tantalizing, yet misunderstood? If you've ever identified with the smoldering allure of Edward Cullen from Twilight, you're in the right place.
“I'm the world's most dangerous predator. Everything about me invites you in...I'm designed to kill.” Powerful, isn’t it?
Like me, perhaps you've experienced moments where your internal predator surfaces, where your inner sexuality roars like a lion. Confused? Allow me to clarify. Men are often labeled as the alpha or the puppy, women as the vixen or the serial monogamist. All these roles boil down to one thing: a potent sexual energy, a force that magnetizes others towards you. This, my friend, is the real origin of being “thirsty” – a thirst for power born from sexual magnetism.
The predator within us craves a challenge. We're fashion savvy, our outfits meticulously chosen to stand out from the crowd. Whether it's a deliberately disheveled look or a high-end ensemble, it's designed to enthrall, to intrigue, to invite you in. It's a siren's song in the form of a Versace suit or a little black dress.
Oh, those seemingly spontaneous encounters with a charming stranger? As unplanned as they may seem, they're actually tactical maneuvers, akin to a grandmaster's move in chess. And just like in the Greek myth, we predators can be sirens, enticing others towards us, using our melodic voices to weave a web of enchantment. We master the art of conversation, spinning tales that keep you hooked, while we carefully avoid revealing too much about ourselves. Our true lies and deceptive truths create a hypnotic dance that seduces you into our world.
Remember the time you casually mentioned your preference for hard candy, and I playfully turned it into a risqué innuendo? Ah, those were fun times. It's this subliminal language of seduction that keeps the conversation stimulating, raising the sexual tension, yet keeping it playful and mysterious.
But it's not all about sight and sound; let's talk about smell. Our heightened sexual prowess releases pheromones - undetectable yet powerfully compelling. Like animals sensing danger or attraction, these pheromones create an instinctual reaction, a primal call that's impossible to ignore.
How to combat this seductive onslaught? The answer is surprisingly simple – get to know us. In doing so, you flip the script, turning the predator-prey dynamic into an engaging dance. After all, isn't the ultimate relationship challenge more exciting than fleeting sexual conquests?
Being a sexual magnet isn't about scoring or winning. Instead, it's about creating a connection that transcends the physical, a crossing of paths that steers you towards the success you desire. It’s a beautiful crossing of paths that changes the course of your life, setting your GPS for a successful love journey.
So, be unapologetically selfish in pursuing your happiness. Like I always say, “If you can’t see your success, change your vantage point”.
Hey there, curious souls! Ever wondered why approaching women seems like an uphill battle? Let's rewind and dive deep into the tantalizing world of the past. Back in the day, catching a glimpse of nudity was like finding buried treasure. National Geographic or fuzzy cable channels were our tantalizing gateways to the forbidden.
But oh boy, times have changed! The internet unleashed an avalanche of explicit content, available at a moment's notice. It's a world where desires run wild, but could this relentless access be messing with our real-life connections?
Hold on tight, folks! We're about to uncover the naked truth about porn's impact on your dating skills. Don't worry, we won't leave you hanging.
The Hunt for Nudity Let's reminisce about the days when sneaking a peek required serious effort. No instant gratification, my friends. We had to rely on good ol' National Geographic or, if lucky, softcore cable channels. And if you were without cable, well, squiggly lines became your bittersweet enemy. Talk about a treasure hunt!
Fantasy vs. Reality Ah, the power of imagination. Our brains possess this incredible ability called visualization. It lets us step into the shoes of those lucky devils on the screen and pretend we're the ones in action. But be warned, my friends, relying too much on these fantasies can leave you high and dry in the real world of dating. It's time to separate fact from fiction.
Technique or Just Smoke and Mirrors? Porn teaches us a thing or two, right? Well, sort of. While you might pick up a move or two, let's face it, real connection goes beyond what happens on the screen. Trust me, I've had my fair share of experiments. It's all about practice, my friends, and learning what truly ignites those flames of desire.
Social Media is Your Seductive Vice Oh, ladies, don't think you're off the hook! Social media has become your own seductive playground. From envy-inducing relationship posts to bitter rants about men, it's a never-ending soap opera. But here's the catch: investing too much in these online tales can leave you with unrealistic expectations in the dating game.
When Online Meets Offline Picture-perfect couples, dreamy quotes, and endless relationship updates—social media makes you crave that fairytale romance. But guess what? Those carefully curated profiles rarely reflect reality. Don't fall into the trap of forcing connections that aren't really there. It's time to break free from the virtual illusion and embrace genuine experiences.
Escaping the Porn Spell Ready to shed the shackles of the porn-induced haze? We're here to guide you. It's time to set realistic expectations, ditch the scripted fantasies, and rediscover the joy of genuine connections. Trust me, the rewards are worth the journey.
The drumroll before the curtain rises. That's where we find ourselves when we're presented with options. It's a tantalizing dance between what could be and what is. Is the availability of choices a divine gift or an insidious curse? That's the puzzle I've been contemplating since my last post.
The price tag for these musings? Merely the minutes ticking away as you read and digest my thoughts. But, am I satisfied with this arrangement? The answer is a muddled yes and no. Sure, I pledged to dispense my wisdom freely, but don't mistake that for lack of desire for substantial compensation. The 'free' approach keeps my expectations low but should I be hungrier?
I'm a sucker for painting vivid mental pictures, so bear with me. Imagine yourself peckish, not ravenous, just enough to stir from the couch and saunter to the fridge. You swing open the door, greeted by a feast fit for a king. So, what do you do? You close the door, retreat to the couch, and wait till starvation strikes. Then you grab whatever will satiate your hunger fastest.
This metaphorical dance mirrors the quandaries of those 'commitment-phobe' men. The men who have "the threecies," that irresistible cocktail of charm, charisma, and confidence, find themselves in a unique conundrum—the dilemma of options. The buffet of potential partners stretches out before them, tempting and tantalizing. Is broccoli appealing when you're hungry? Absolutely, unless there's pizza.
With a smorgasbord of choices, committing feels like inviting regret. The angst of making a decision, followed by the depression of potentially making the 'wrong' one, is the byproduct of having options. When you have a single option, your expectations are modest, and decision-making is stress-free. But the more options you have, the higher your expectations skyrocket.
In the world of commerce, there's this term called 'opportunity cost'—the potential benefit lost by not choosing the alternative. This could only be determined by comparing one option to another, thus creating a new option. Let's picture this: You play the Mega Millions, you hit the jackpot and win a million dollars. Hooray! But wait, what if you could've won eighty million?
This concept spills over into why some men cheat or avoid commitment. When you choose a partner based on fleeting moments of confidence, the dynamics change post-marriage. The security of having someone at home fuels your confidence, leading you down the path of desiring more.
So, what's my advice? Embrace the binary—life or death, chase dreams or don't, make a choice or not. When faced with multiple choices, pick confidently, knowing that it's the right choice at that moment. Learn from every decision and realize there's no such thing as a 'wrong' choice. As Jay-Z puts it, "I will not lose for even in defeat, there's a valuable lesson learned." So, let's embrace our options, and remember, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Boom!
Imagine a road trip of self-discovery, a two-hour ride, no radio or TV distractions, just the hum of the open road and the ebb and flow of your own thoughts. A ride to assist a total stranger. Seems strange, right? Let me explain. My self-imposed mission of the day: probe deeper into my brand of selfishness - the pursuit of happiness, and more specifically, why I love lending a helping hand.
Relationships, dear readers, are the Mount Everest of emotional landscapes. On one end, the land of men, the other, the realm of women. A bridge connects these two continents of the human condition, a bridge we all try desperately to cross when we feel the pangs of need. Yet, when we are content in our own company, crossing that bridge is a breeze. I consider myself your Sherpa on this tumultuous trek, guiding both sides towards a happy middle.
For years, I strutted around like a rooster, squawking, "I've mastered the game of love, and I need a student who will listen!" Then it hit me - why not open up my wisdom to the world, free of charge? But here’s the catch, my advice wasn't taken seriously because, let's face it, we don't value free things. So, I found a way to charge a premium without the exchange of a single dime. The price? Your time.
Believe it or not, I’m not motivated by money. My joy? The “attaboys”, those heartwarming pats on the back that mean “job well done”. Because, let's be honest, people don’t give attaboys unless you make them happy. And making others happy? That’s my guilty pleasure.
I’m the guy who donates tons of clothes and shoes, who gives without a second thought because the image of a beaming beneficiary fuels me. Picture this, someone admiring my cool style and thinking, "If I wear his clothes, I’ll be cool too." Voila! A happiness exchange!
Here’s my confession. My blogging, my care, my advice are not because I dream of making it rich. It’s because this process brings me joy. My ‘selfish’ happiness lies in a world filled with happy people.
Remember, if you do anything repeatedly, it becomes a habit. So why not create a habit that includes a little selfishness and a whole lot of joy?
As a young man, I was frequently encouraged to be the "bigger person" and apologize for my transgressions. This notion wasn't about physical size but a metaphorical nod to my potential power. It took me years to understand this potent equation: thought + emotion = feelings. And within this concept lies the key to understanding and controlling our emotional triggers.
Consider this situation: you're cut off on the highway. The immediate reaction of most is to honk the horn, yell, and make crude gestures. These reactions are predicated on assumptions – that the person cut you off intentionally and that your aggressive response will induce the same emotional reaction in them. But what if their actions were due to an emergency, or they were preoccupied with personal issues, or they just didn't see you? Where does your responsibility lie in all this?
The first step is accepting 100% responsibility for our own actions and reactions. We react in anger because we allow an emotion to time stamp our thoughts, leading to particular feelings. We can't truly know what the other person was thinking in that moment. Thus, we must account for our responses. We need to be more in tune with our feelings to manage ourselves better.
We have become so preoccupied with the feelings of others that we neglect our own. Many react with shock when I suggest being "selfish", but not putting yourself first can lead to a violent rejection of your own needs. Selflessness does not always deserve a badge of honor unless it involves saving another's life while risking your own.
Often, we behave in a way that we believe will please others, not because it aligns with our genuine feelings. You may accommodate me at 2 in the morning despite your discomfort, hoping that your compliance will make me value you. However, this is not a healthy negotiation. Your tears may stem from your hurt feelings, but they could also be because you disregarded your own needs.
Here's a metaphor to consider: a $100 electricity bill might seem substantial if you only have $10. But if you have $1000, that bill feels less significant. The same applies to problems. If you're 'bigger' than the problem, it feels light. By apologizing or expressing regret, I lift that emotional weight, showing my control over the emotional trigger. Waiting for an apology essentially means waiting to be controlled. If you truly value yourself, you should be willing to lift that weight yourself.
Alright, my daring decision-makers! Let's talk plans - Plan A, Plan B, the works. But let me drop a bomb on you - there's never been a Plan A that's worked with a Plan B hovering around. Why? It's simple: If you have a Plan B, it means you're doubting your Plan A. And let me tell you, darling, doubt and success rarely mix.
Here's the real kicker - your Plan B often works because, deep down, it's the one you truly believe in. So, why not promote it to Plan A? After all, it's what your heart's whispering (or shouting) to you. It's like trying to fit a round peg in a square hole and then realizing you had a round hole all along!
Got an opposite-sex best friend forever (BFF)? Guess what? You might have your Plan B hiding in plain sight. And let's not kid ourselves - this Plan B could be your real Plan A. The one who's always there, offering a shoulder to lean on, with no ulterior motives, just pure, platonic affection (or so it seems!).
Here's a truth bomb: If you're reluctant to let go of your BFF because they're nice to you, maybe it's time to ponder whether your current Plan A is all that nice. If not, should this sweet, reliable Plan B step up to be your new Plan A?
Remember, if you have a Plan B, it's most likely what you're genuinely attracted to, and most importantly, what you need. Your current Plan A might just be a jumbled mess of someone else's wants and needs. And no prize for guessing, that's why it's not working out.
So, my daring decision-makers, consider promoting your Plan B to Plan A. After all, your happiness, your decisions, and your life shouldn't be on standby for a plan that's more someone else's dream than yours. Plan B could be your real path to success, and it's time it got the limelight it deserves!
Remember, in the game of life, sometimes promoting your Plan B can lead you to the success and happiness you truly desire! So, "Ditch Plan B: Make Your Dream Plan A Reality!"
