ImTheDoubleGreatest!
Master Don Juan
Alright guys, time to resurrect this long, lost, forgotten quote. Originally by Bruce Lee, we all know that Pook took it and kinda made it his own. Why was this his favorite quote though? Because this is the best way to change yourself for the better.
When I was 11, I kept on noticing how at the time, bad things kept on happening to me. Just unlucky stuff. All the time. Others noticed it too. I kept saying to myself how I had the worst luck ever. It kept happening. I was a downer. And it killed people’s vibes. By the time I was 12, my family kinda got sick of it. My dad told me something that literally changed my life forever. ‘Just tell yourself that you have good luck. Even if you don’t believe it, just say it and it’ll start to happen’. I was saying how there was no point and how it wouldn’t work, just being a pessimist. He asked me what I had to lose though, and I decided I would try it just to prove him wrong. I told myself obsessively “I have the best luck in the world” all the time for every little thing, even when bad **** happened.
After 6 months, my mindset started to change. Major. I noticed other people’s perspective and why tf they didn’t care about my problems or me really. I was just annoying. Like ‘dude stfu already, we get it, so what’ kinda way. And not just that, but you just don’t talk about that kinda crap all the time either. I was at a crossroads. I was directly halfway between thinking more like a normal person or staying weird. I chose to be normal because I also noticed that bad **** stopped happening nearly as much.
By the time I was 13, I had no more bad luck. I kept on telling myself this time and time again though. Never stopped. I was obsessive. Stubbed my toe? Better than a sprained ankle. Best luck in the world. Cut myself while cutting up a lemon? Better than my whole finger. Best luck in the world. Got no food in the damn house because of a lazy ass mom? Still got some tap water. Best luck in the world. At this point, good shot started to happen. I remember once where I was cutting up a tomato, and the knife I was using was absolute ass lol. Plus I was holding it weirdly and wasn’t really paying much attention either and I dropped the knife. It was pointed straight down toward my toes, and while the blade was dull, the tip was still extremely pointy. For whatever reason, I pulled my foot back, then put it back forward again, and spread my toes out and caught the knife perfectly between my toes. Then put it back in my hands and continued to try and cut the tomato like a monkey (probably should have washed it first tbh but whatever). Took me a minute to realize what I just did. Best luck ever.
Once I was 14, good stuff started happening to me all the time. It was actually ridiculous. Eventually I was kinda starting to think what if it’s just because my mindset changed? But somewhere in me, I felt that was wasn’t true and that my luck actually did turn good. Still, Inkept saying it. Eventually, my gut instinct turned out to be right. Because one day, while still repeating in my head “I have the best luck in the world!”, me and about 4 of my friends were messing around, and I forget the exact premise of what happened, but I was trying to do one of those badass walk-aways after doing something like how they do in the movies (like in one of the Wolverine movies where there’s an explosion behind Logan and he doesn’t even look back, just puts on his glasses and keeps on walking). I think we were trying to flip bottles around and have them land upright. They were all failing and I just walked up and grabbed it, and told said ‘watch this’ and started walking away and threw it behind me over my shoulder, and it landed upright on the cap end of it, not on the base end. They were all like ‘wtf’ and one of the guys was like “dude, how does this **** always happen to you?” And I was like “what do you mean?” He said “like none of us could ever do something like that really, good crazy stuff like that never happens to us but always happens to you”. Another guy agreed, third kid did too and said “yeah like you got some real good luck” or something like that and the last kid also looked at me like how do I always have this **** happening to me like that. Little did they know...I looked at the first kid and just said “hey man, I got the best luck in the world”. It’s important to note that stuff like this had been happening to me for several weeks, if not months prior to this event. This is just what made me realize that there was something more to this than I thought. Some people call it the laws of attraction. I personally believe it to be true.
Now, let’s look at 15, when I found this place. As you all know by my prominent username, ‘ImTheDoubleGreatest!’, I am a very big fan of Muhammad Ali. Loved the old school boxers in general really, but this guy in particular I liked a lot. I think because my dad told me about him and liked him too and hypes him up for me lol. Well anyway, I became an actual fanatic. I started looking up a lot of stuff about him, saying all his quotes, etc etc. Now the part about saying all of his quotes, is what got me to change again. My favorite of his quotes was “I am the greatest!” I just love that one. Said that all the time just like I did with “I have he best luck in the world” (note that a little bit after my friends told me that, I stopped saying it as often. Eventually the good luck started to slow down and now I’m just normal luck lol but I can get back to it again if I really felt the drive to). So anyway, after probably 2 months, I started to feel really good. And by good, I mean GREAT. Like you don’t really know the difference in between good and GREAT until you experience this, I am not kidding. It got to a point where I would wake up in the morning, and I **** you not, I would sit up and turn to the side of my bed and after like 6 seconds my first thought and feeling would be “I am the greatest!” And I would shout it out loud too. My sister was watching TV in the room next to mine then and told me “shut up, no you’re not” because she along with the rest of my family was getting super annoyed. When they would say that, I would go along with it and just say another one of Muhammad Ali’s quotes “you’re right. I’m not the greatest, I’m the double greatest!” Hence my username lol. To date, I don’t think I’ve ever had higher self esteem lol. Even in public, I would say the quote sometimes. At practice, everyone would get so annoyed by me saying it, BUT they all LOVED to be around me. I was an annoying peice if ****, but they all LOVED to be around me because my mindset was so ****ing strong then that I was able to make them feel a bit of my greatness (not saying that to be arrogant, it’s the only way I can describe it). This was such an incredible high for me, I honestly would compare it stimulant/antidepressant drugs like cocaine or MDMA, because the feeling both of those drugs can give you can be impossible to explain to someone who’s never taken them (and no, I don’t do drugs either, this is just what everyone who has taken it has these have me before). Eventually I stopped saying it after my dad told me that I needed to stop (mostly because of religious reasons I think), and also because I started to feel like the word ‘greatest’ wasn’t heavy enough to describe just how great I felt. Saying it once wasn’t enough to truly express how I felt. I had to say it several times over and over. I guess it was good though, because it was borderline like saying ‘I feel like God’ which is a no bueno lol. And like most drugs, the come-down sucks and you can even feel depressed, which I felt for about 2 weeks lol.
I could give a few other examples where this has changed me, but I don’t want to drag this out for too long. What I’m saying is, if you want to change something in your life or change who you are, you have to change the way you think. The way I was first able to was by repeating something to myself all the time. Maybe you don’t have to do that. But you need to change the way you think before you can become who you want to become.
Some call it ‘reprogramming your brain’, but if you look that up, it’ll tell you that you have to take LSD (in the same way addicts do to be able to get off hard drugs like heroin or crack) and then you also might want to know about dissociative identity disorder and Project MK Ultra/Delta/Naomi to understand why that **** even exists in the first place (MK Ultra is the reason why DID only exists in the US btw) and blah blah blah.
Tl;dr
If you want to change yourself in any way, you have to change your mindset first. It starts from within. Inner always trumps outer.
