Someone asked me how to deal with embarrassing moments in the past
We all have done things that we’d like to forget. Things that to this day make you cringe when you think of them
The 3 easiest ways to deal with past embarrassments
1. Realize that you’re only embarrassed when you think about it. It doesn’t matter 99% of the time, only when you dwell on it. Humans have 6,000 thoughts a day, don’t get stuck on this irrelevant one, don’t dwell in any negative ones
2. While you’re remembering this embarrassing moment realize that literally no one that witnessed it is thinking about it right now at the same time as you. The moment is more significant to you than to any of the parties involved and the chances that anyone is even remembering it at the same time as you are slim to none. You’re all alone.
3. Simply start owning every mistake of the past. Turn everything into something funny to laugh at or a sign of progress. Sometimes the stupid shit you did IS funny. Other times it’s proof that you’ve grown.

Learn to suck it up and do better next time:
I recently got fucking rekt while playing poker, lost a considerable amount.
What frustrated me the most is that the last hand I lost was to someone who didn't even know what he had.
A beginner that was just calling my bets hoping I had nothing when his hand was far better than mine.
Announces he has a pair, ends up with a straight flush.
Anyway, without getting too much into details, I had lost to a man who had no idea what he was doing.
Ngl that pissed me off.
Then I remembered something I tell you often:
You shouldn't worry about what you can't control.
I played well and still lost, what was I going to do about it?
Yeah, nothing.
Composed myself and left.
That image kept coming back to me in the days that followed.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that all I had to do was to suck it up and do better next time.
Not only was his way of playing irrelevant but I also realized that even if he knew his hand, he was still winning.
Thing is we tend to easily complain about luck, circumstances and all that shit we have no control over.
Where does it lead?
Damn right, leads nowhere.
I'll do better next time.
Have a great weekend Basedonians.

Nothing fixes itself.
Don't be delusional.
Believing that time will do "its work" and that things will be great if you give them time is a delusional belief.
It shows a lack of responsibility.
This is the last thing you should worry about.
Time does its work after you're done doing yours.
Time doesn't fix everything.
You fix everything then give it time to see results.
Using time as an excuse not to put in the efforts is weak and delusional.

The top 10 strategies of mass manipulation:
1) Distraction:
In order to manipulate people, one of the most powerful weapons is distraction. Shifting your attention to less important or insignificant news actually allows you to divert your interest from much more vital issues which, in this case, take a back seat.
2) Problem and solution:
Showing a certain topic as a problem allows you to create a solution that is often unpopular and has already been decided a priori.
3) Graduality:
In some cases, in order to manipulate the masses, it is necessary to do it gradually. In the case of the elimination of certain basic rights, for example, it is better to eliminate them in small doses so as not to provoke protests from citizens.
4) Delay:
In this case, some reform takes place, ensuring that in the short term, although negative for citizens, it will be positive for all. In this way, people are less likely to protest, waiting for the benefits. When it turns out that these benefits were false, it will already be too late and people will have become accustomed to change.
5) Infantilising the public:
In advertisements and political speeches, people often tend to talk to the audience as if they were children. In this way, the critical faculties of people who are more likely to accept the message are eliminated.
6) Using emotions:
Messages that try to manipulate the masses do not invite reflection but, on the contrary, are based on emotions. In this way, rather than rationality, we focus on the subconscious of the recipients who may perceive the general message but not all the details, thus neutralising the critical aspect.
7) Keeping the audience ignorant:
An ignorant public is the best ally of mass manipulation. For this reason, the deterioration of the education system is a very powerful weapon for controlling citizens.
8) A willing public:
The media are used to showing how superficial, ignorant and vulgar fashions and trends are. In this way, citizens are made to get used to mediocrity.
9) Reinforcing the feeling of guilt:
This strategy of mass manipulation tends to make people believe that all their problems come from themselves. Instead of rebelling against the system, citizens will therefore think that they are directly responsible for what is happening.
10) Knowing the human being
The system has a vast knowledge of the human being, thanks to the progress made, and therefore manages to have greater control over the citizens.

truly we create our own hells
It is grating being around people with persistently negative mentalities once you become aware of it
To these people, everything has a reason for why it won’t work, Everything has a high possibility of going wrong
The worst assumptions of your mind never comes to pass - and if something goes ‘wrong’ (which is a value judgement based on your perspective anyway) then you will deal with it IF it comes to it. There is zero point wasting time on entertaining these negative ‘ghost’ events that will not even happen.
be around the right people and you learn and progress effortlessly through osmosis
Be around the wrong people and you become dragged down simply by being around them
It is imperative to curate an environment of positive mental programming, from other people, music, tv shows, movies, social media, etc.
All must be conducive to success and happiness.
Thought is the coin of heaven, Money is it’s earthly symbol
You must invest your thoughts as you do your money:
⁃ Invest = positive thoughts and assumptions of success
⁃ Spent frivolously = negative thoughts and wastes of time
Every moment must be invested wisely rather than spent.
The present moment does not fade into the past - It advances into the future to meet us, depending on how we chose to use it.
If we spend our days thinking of the bad things, of why everything is bad, then that version of reality will be coming round the corner to greet us.
Similarly you can picture the perfect vision of how you want life to be and how it WILL Be, in every way.
If God is the consciousness of your mind, then everything is possible through how we choose (as we have free will) to use that consciousness.
Our power as humans is to create whatever version of reality is pictured in our minds eye.
We stumble through life when we don’t have this knowledge. We think negatively then our minds express this onto the world and we think we are a victim of life instead of realising we are experiencing what we have previously pictured.
You can be a victim of circumstance like everyone else, Or do whatever it takes to learn the tools to create your reality - then use them.

If you ever want to lie, you need to make sure that nothing you are saying can be verified.
If one or more parameters can reasonably be doubted, then you already got caught.
It is important to keep in mind that lying is a tool and should not shape the way you see reality.
With that in mind, if you need to lie and want to get away with it,
Make sure no one else knows the truth.
Relying on people backing your fictive story will not sooner or later fireback on you.
Dont make anyone else part of your lie
Dont give anyone the power to expose you
Now, how can a lie be believable?
Use someone else's real life story.
Instead of making it up all from scratch, tell a real scenario with real details, which comes from your memories rather than you imagination
Why?
To not contradict yourself.
The more often you lie, the less likely you are to remember all the lies you said.
Keep that to a minimum.
Better, tell many people the same lie so you:
-Practice your fictive story
-Get backed without exposing your secret
Disclaimer:
This is to use when you NEED to lie about a specific situation
If you NEED to lie just to feed your ego, sorry to say but you need a doctor.
Use lies but don't become a liar, you will only lie to yourself and lose discernment between reality and your imagination.

Friendship is one of those things for which you don't pay upfront.
In fact, it's something you only pay for once you lose it.
The problem is, you don't have sole ownership over it.
Sometimes you pay for it even before you realize that you lost it.
