I'm in the Mood
Master Don Juan
I heard this amazing quote from Neil Strauss, and it really spoke to me as a belief coming from a mature man who has mastered indifference. I thought I'd share this one with you guys.
"Here's the secret to life: Don't take it personally. Not just for pickup but for life in general. Everyone's a jerk to you someday. Someone's an assh0le on the street and bumps into you and says "fvck off". It's not about you. He's a jerk. If you have a day and you lose your job, and your girlfriend breaks up with you, and you crash your car; the world doesn't hate you, you just had a bad day. It will make life so much easier if you don't take it personally...As you enter this world and you talk to guys, you're going to find out what your problems are, and what they aren't. When they tell it to you, don't take it personally. You think about it. You have to have this filter inside that takes in all criticism not personally and not judgmentally. You take in the criticism and you think: "Is that true?" and you take a hard look at yourself. If it's true, you work to solve it and change it. If it's not true, you just throw it out."
Cheers
