"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Improvement in your own life can anger others?

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Great Canelo Alvarez footage and message. They are bad, judgemental, narcissistic and are quick to cut you down. Be careful, as they are family AND friends, not just strangers or mere acquaintances pulling this fvcksh!t.

Once it starts it never ends. They work to reduce your improvements in effectiveness gained from your adjustments and growth. Identify who they are, make a note of it,, dont ever expect them to change. People have been killed behind becoming more successful or a more stand-up person.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Yeah this is no joke. Lately I've been mentioning to family and relatives that I'm eligible for my first retirement in 12 years and they give me PUSHBACK. Unbelievable. They've seen me struggle for a decade and judged me harshly, turned away, etc. Then when it comes time to leave, or even threaten to leave and go do what I NEED to do next on my life checklist, they start caring. Seen it from senior enlisted military leadership and now family or friends. It does not fkn end. Worse is if they are all set or retired and doing this to you. Time to keep my moves primarily silent here on out. Not just the bizarre individuals I encounter in public (where it is now critical to blend in and not argue), but those I know in private.

Completely silent. The world is how it is.

People have been killed behind this shot. So you better be ready to die going after your dreams.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

"You see, if you ever wanted to ever be anything. There'll always be somebody that shoot down any dream."
"There'll always be haters, that's the way it is. Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids.
But they gon' have to take my life before they take my drive. 'Cause when I was barely livin', that's what kept me alive...
It's funny how these wack niggas need my help - Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself."

Found this youtube:
Yes, people that are close to you will either consciously, subconsciously, directly, or indirectly resent you for becoming a better person each day. And it is not that they don't care or love you, it's that you will remind them (if they are not on the same self-development growth journey as you) that they are being left behind. You will become a constant reminder of their unfulfilling lives and being stagnant. So again, they will either resent you or try to pull you back.

When you are on a path to "success" (whatever that means to you), you will have to be okay with losing people and people dissing you. It is part of that journey but you will end up finding people on the same wavelength as you along the way, so it's not all a loss.

Look at the world it’s an absolute joke! You have a tranny... and an obese slob in the sports illustrated swimsuit edition!!!???

At my gym there are dudes wearing whoop watches.. or whatever they are... to see if they are overtraining. I watch them come in and do about 6 sets of curls in an hour.. drink a protein shake... shower and leave!!!

Most people’s purpose in life is to get drunk, high, and comfortable.

F anyone that hates on winners. They hate because they are too lazy to put in the work!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I first started to notice this years ago when people seemed to be exgtra rude and snippy with me when I wasx in a very positive and loving mind set. Now I only allow people who tolerate my good side with me on my journey.
