You have to assume greatness

[tksniper]

I’ve found that the proper frame for high status men is that they have to assume they are already great and everyone perceives them as great. From this frame they end up qualifying people or giving value to people.


Alot of times when guys try to act high status, they do the opposite. They try to “prove” their greatness by qualifying themselves, bragging, or overcompensating. They think they are slick but the really hot women know they are try hards.

It’s extremely subtle but you have to assume you are great and come from that place. A great person seldom talks about themselves. They are usually focused on seeing what is cool about OTHER people and if it’s even worth their time to interact with them.

In other words, he’s coming from a qualifying frame.

It's better to achieve greatness (however you define it) than merely assume it. And if you're truly great you're not going to be *usually* spending your time focusing on other people, because it's an obvious waste.

Do you think Elon Musk spends all day observing what's cool about other people? Or Joe Rogan, etc? No, they're actually focused on doing great things.

It's extremely subtle because it's bs in both cases, just a difference in dosage.

You got to have a purpose in life other than being "high status", otherwise you won't evolve as a human being.

Nice post but how do you even define “achieve greatness”. The act of achieving is a supplication frame. Whose standard are you even living up to?

I have this argument with guys in my firm all the time. When they first show up they talk about trying to achieve greatness. I have to convince them they are already great, they just don’t know it because of society and social conditioning.

Greatness is not an act. It is a frame.

The fact that God created you means you are greatness incarnated.

You can’t “achieve” a frame. You can only accept it. So accept your rightful frame of being actual God incarnated. And not a needy and desperate God in the Bible. But a giving and loving God that comes from infinite value.
