Remembering your mortality is a powerful motivator -
Once you become acutely conscious of how fickle life is, you’ll never waste a single day...
Any day not utilized to becoming more loving, creative & self-actualized is a wasted day.
Ignorant people never hesitate to employ the saying “life is short” as an excuse to indulge hedonism.
Wise people use it as a reminder to never take their life for granted & and put it to good use.
Intensify your passion towards your purpose.
Also ensure that you care intensely for your loved ones. At the end people won’t care how hard you worked, but how hard you loved...

How do you deal with this?
The solution to all passive aggressive manipulation is quite simple: IGNORE!
Pretend like you don’t notice the partner trying to ignore you. Do your work, and talk to them when you're done. If they exhibit said behavior, find something to do and completely ignore them.
Your friend calls you out for drinks and is waiting for you to pick up the bill, sense some entitlement there? IGNORE.
“The bartender said it costs xyz.”
‘OK.’
Don’t pay, wait and see what they do.
In both cases, you want to force the person to ‘STATE’ what they expect from you.
By coming clean, which they eventually have to if they want to reach the end goal, you can address the issue. If they refuse to come clean, then they’ll have to take care of said responsibility.
By complying with their whims and doing what they ‘EXPECT’ you ensure that the conversation is never had, and the issue is not addressed.
You’re essentially saying ‘I’ll do what you expect anytime you behave in this manner.’
You will be abused severely and continuously until you deal with the issue at hand, and the only way to do so is to force them to ‘bring it up.’
If they don’t, then fine, you don’t have to deal with the constant pressure they try to put on you.

False friends delight in your misfortunes.
The height of ecstasy for them is when they talk about it around them in order to push you down.
The problem is that it is often difficult to discern the real from the fake.
One technique I use regularly is to make false revelations about things that on the face of it would be embarrassing.
But I never give the same version. This allows me to know where the leak is coming from.
When the information goes around and comes back to me, I know who said what about me.
This technique allows me to clear out the weeds and keep only my most loyal friends.

Make people believe that you trust them before you truly do.
What this will do is make their masks fall (if they're insincere) or oppositely show that they deserve you trust.
How?
Very easy.
Fucking tell them.
"I trust you"
"I value you, people like you are rare."
This can be used both to get closer to people but also to test their loyalty.
Someone with poor intentions will very quickly see this as you admitting submissiveness.
Someone trustworthy will appreciate you more and try to show that they deserve your trust.
This is a good way to both establish rapport and weed out the undeserving.
In a way, the malicious will see it as a sign of vulnerability, while the genuine will see it as you validating them and having positive feelings about them.
This is a way to test people that comes at no cost to you.
Just a small little lie, that protects you.

Quick Body Language lesson:
Exposing your belly or throat is often associated with a confident body language.
Doing the opposite is weak and negative body language.
The reason is that both of those parts are extremely vulnerable, and hiding them shows a sort of subconscious fear.
Oppositely, not hiding your torso/belly and/or throat puts you in a "vulnerable" position that you're not afraid of.
People subconsciously pick up these clues, you should consciously pick up these clues.
Both for your own body language but also for cold reading people around you.

PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION
Accept this: Perfection doesn't exist.
You will always need to do better, you will always need to get better.
You will always need to be learning.
It never stops.
The moment you stop getting better, you start getting worse.
Don't let that happen.
You can afford arrogance.
You cannot afford complacency.

Allow me to talk once again about the most powerful thinking process:
REFRAMING.
Listen, I'm not even joking: Master reframing and you're set for life.
Reframe your beliefs.
Reframe arguments.
Reframe everything.
If you learn how to reframe ideas, you will be unbeatable.
You can manipulate yourself.
You can convince anyone of anything.
You can get away with arguments when you're wrong.
Your ability to propose alternatives will not only help you with the above, but it will also make de facto smarter.
You'll become better at communication AND you'll become an efficient problem-solver.
Break things into first principles.
Whatever situation you have at hand, focus on the facts and the things that can't be denied.
Use those parameters to construct and alternate solution or viewpoint that suit your own interests and preferences.
You hear people talking about "creating your reality".
Well, gents, this is it.

What is it called when a toxic/manipulative person is out of the sudden acting nice and agreeable? It’s like the person knows that she/he is in the wrong so she/he takes a step back to cover it up. Tactical retreat? Not really relevant to this message, but I would like to know more about it and the best way to deal with it.

If you're good at something and you're passionate about it:never give up on it.
Keep doing it.
Even if it doesn't pay you.
Of course it should not eat out so much of your time that you're unproductive.
But don't give up on your passion.
If you like a sport to watch, keep watching it.
If you like a video game to play, keep playing it.
These Twitter dudes want you to give up on everything and embrace the hustle culture.
Don't do it.
Of course, work your ass off to be financially free and comfortable.
But do not give up on your passion.
It will destroy you and eat you from inside.
Keep doing the things you love, keep doing the things you're good at.
It's good for your mental health.
Don't use them as a way to escape reality.
Face reality then take breaks to do the things you enjoy most.
Your time is limited.
You were not born to run after dollar bills.
