Wow, totally inspiring. Good luck.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Mastering My Life: A Quest To Become The Prize

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
If more people would understand this.But I will never be the prize if I don't master my life on some level.
Reading about other people's breakthrogh's or journeys in life is always motivational and inspire to own personal development. Thank you for slapping some sense in me which has been lacking the last few weeks.
I'm just wondering, if you achieve or rather strive for all this, wouldn't your life be close to perfect... wouldn't people have trouble connecting to who you are and the other way around? I've noticed I have a hard time connecting to people with limited beliefs, who play it safe, who isn't on the quest. I get sick when I see what these people can be but do no strive for. If you master each of these things won't you have hard finding other persons who are as developed as yourself? Won't you just be admired and revered, just like pook is? Maybe another world will open up which I am not aware of yet just like what happened when I started bodybuilding.
Looking forward to read and apply. Thanks for your dedication.

Great post and good luck. However, could you elaborate on "serving others" please?, not that i disagree with it, it just seems you are not "the prize" if you are serving others.
Thank you for taking time to that writing this reply birty. It gave me some things to think about I haven't thought of before. Like for instance how wrong many of my beliefs are at this moment when you move the focus like you do in your text. I can literally see all the stuff flashing past when I think about it. Kind of an awakening on how my point of view limit my life. A sincere thank you.
So in the end I am doing what I feel I must do, improving who I am, being on a quest for my ideal or what you want to call it. But in the end it's not my way which is the correct way, everyone will have their own ideal and sometimes a way to get there or they will make the best out of their situation without actually going on a quest. Just because something worked for me I assume it is the only way to go and I become arrogant against people who do not go on their own quest or not share my ideals. Mainly because I only looked at their faults. Now I was not arrogant towards them but I cringed inside. I have it realativly easy to talk to different people.
And as you say, perfection can't be reached, I may just be a little longer down the road than somee other people.
Sazuki, I second your last post.

EXCELLENT
put in words so well what I'm thinking (for long) and doing more & more (for not so long).
The problem (for me) is to keep everything equilibrated while not working too hard on too many different aspects at a time, since you micht go into heavy credit speculating for the positive outcome, but when the machine is running on reserve for too long and things take longer than you expected you will get a condsiderable set-back.
At least that's what happened to me quite some times.
I'm looking forward very much to your future posts and wish you good luck. I hope soon I will be able, too, to pay back sth. to the community with posts as inspiring as yours.
MoveYourA$$... and your brain will follow

disciple
Senior Don Juan
That was extremely inspirational and I can relate to what you are saying because the reason I chose the name disciple for this forum is because I recognized that all that I know, however much that is, is only a tiny fraction of all there is to know and as such I am on a lifelong journey to discover knowledge and wisdom.
Therefore, I am a student of knowledge and wisdom and life itself is my teacher, so that makes me a disciple or follower of knowledge and wisdom in life.
Great post, and I look forward to your future posts as well.
