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.

Quick Reframing Lesson:
Stop calling things "problems".
Call them situations.
This slight change in terminology will change your approach to the whole thing.
You've seen me tweet one of these two:
"There are no problems, only solutions"
Or
"There are no problems to solve, only situations to deal with."
I mean it.
If you see things as complex problems (with all the negativity that word bears), you will find it harder to get through it.
Calling it a situation prepares you to deal with it with more calm and composure.
Additional tip:
Affirm 3 to 4 times throughout your day:
"I have no problem in my life"
Even if you do have some.
What this will do is condition you to see things as less complex and more approachable.
Trust me, it's more about how you see it than what it really is.
Have a nice weekend.

Contrary to what a good part of contemporary Doxa would have us believe, emotions can be controlled.
One is not always obliged to suffer, one allows oneself to fall in love (and one can refrain from doing so), and sadness, frustration or even anger are impulses that the man of reason and virtue can, at least in part, control.
In the society of the fragile, however, everything pushes you to renounce them.
Everything pushes you to join the group of the fragile, the whining, the pathetic.
The group of those who make excuses, of those who cry over the wickedness of others and of the world, to avoid having to face the sum of their weaknesses and vices

The 100/0 Rule:
100% Responsibility.
0% Excuses.
____
Real growth is when you start checking and correcting yourself.
Instead of blaming others, you take your power back by being responsible for your life.

Control the silence = Control the conversation
The one who can impose silence has an edge over the conversation.
Impose your pace, force pauses and be the one that picks up the conversation.
This is a sure way to find the right words and not stress out.
"Oh but Ego how can I do this?"
There is always someone asking so let me answer before you ask.
There is on thing you should remember:
> Body language is a more powerful communication tool, it will help you impose silence (getting to it in a moment)
One thing that creates silence is turning your back to your interlocutor when it's your time to speak.
Walking sideways or to the opposite direction.
Your movements have to be slow.
If you're too fast, you're fleeing away not imposing your pace.
Another anchoring word you can use is: "Wait."
Then complete silence.
Put people on a hiatus, take time to recollect your thoughts.
This values what you're about to say a lot more.

You cannot afford to get emotional about other people's decisions.
I've said in the past:
Do not chase people.
If someone walks away from you, let them be.
If they believe they're better off without you, let them go.
Do not hold people back.
If they stay around you against their will, your relationship will turn toxic and unhealthy.
Respect people's choices and boundaries no matter how unreasonable or straight out stupid they might seem.
Your friends are not your kids.
You have no responsibility over them.
This also applies to friends that are stubborn and don't want to listen to your advice.
DO NOT INSIST.
Let them make their own mistakes.

Impostor syndrome is a psychological phenomenon in which a person doubts his/her own abilities and achievements and start feeling like a fraud.
It mostly affects high achievers and they begin to question whether they are deserving of all their accolades and praises.
People brought up in families that stressed too much on achievements and success are more prone to this syndrome.
Achievements were overpraised and failures were over-criticised.
Later in life each little setback is to them a failure to please their parents and any success is felt like luck;
Totally by chance and not an outcome of their hard work.
First step in countering this effect is to know that this is a real psychological phenomenon.
Second, remember your past accomplishments and know that it was your own abilities and not mere luck.
People with impostor syndrome tend to be perfectionists. This is a result of that previously mentioned overpraised successes and over-criticised failures. Let go of the need to sharpen every corner. No-one cares.
Never brush off your achievements. Even if they are small ones. Journal them or share it with people close to you. Celebrate with them. When the panic hits later in time they will remind of your past achievements.
Take your failures lightly. Modern hustle gurus have manipulated you into thinking failure is a sin. To hell with it. Failure is a sweet reminder that you are not stagnant and are actually doing something. The only purpose of failure is to signal you that you need to make some changes: not that you are a complete douche.

THE DYNAMICS OF SUCCESS
What do the people that have various levels of success have in common? A sense of confidence, or a belief in oneself.
As the beliefs that we hold impact the reality we create for ourselves, confidence and belief in ourselves is a non-negotiable. The higher your degree of this feeling, the more success you will encounter.
We all know an arrogant person who has succeeded and just ‘seems lucky’. What is arrogance? It comes with it unwavering belief you will succeed and that good things happen to you. You take chances and act as if the world is on your side.
While arrogance is thinking you’re untouchable, it does yield the benefit of assuredness in one’s self - a high state of vibrational energy that attracts the circumstancces and people that leads to success.
When you succeed, you are reinforcing that you are successful. This makes you feel more confident about yourself, and then you are more likely to believe
It’s literally the hardest point to get the ball rolling from a stop. After that, you have precious things to look back upon as proof of your impending successes.
If you don’t have the confidence from performance yet, you need to have the belief that it is possible first. Picture yourself doing the thing you desire. Take steps and actions that would align with if you knew the outcome would be positive success.
This is why ‘The rich get richer.’ The successful attract more success.
At the start of any journey, there is the most amount of people ‘in the race’. There are a lot of people who have done one podcast episode than there are that have recorded 20. There are a lot more people who have played guitar for two months compared to played for years. The number of people who have gymmed for two weeks then stopped compared to people who work out for years. What happens is a cascade of accomplishment where the amount of people you are competing with decreases the longer you stay in the game.
Believe in your total success no matter what the physical reality may be showing you at the present moment. Stay the path for years. You WILL win.
