my self confidence, somewhat long

[Guest]

This is a repost of something I just posted on the oklahoma lair

it is key! Lately I have been a bit down with all of the stuff consuming my life. Work, Pickup, Health, Money, the list is a mile long. In all of that it is very easy to get lost and get down on ones self. Recently, through lifes experiences and my true friends I have come to the realization of how far off track I truely am. I am reminded of a movie where owen wilson says "youve lost your carl"ness"!" My glow and joy of life has lost its luster a little bit. I became a little bitter and lost one of my best qualities, the ability to care and be compassionate. I remember not too long ago when anything i did brought a smile to my face, made me happy, and everyone around me was in the same state. I think one bad attitude is like a virus, it spreads! I work in an office with a lot of bad attitudes and I have let that bring my emotional state down rather than myself lifting theirs up. Talks with finesse, neil strauss, picture perfect, and some of my close personal friends has made me open my eyes. The other day when hanging out with Neil, I felt it, a little bit of the old me. And I must tell you, it was like shooting up heroin, not that I know what thats like, but it was euphoric. My father, whom all of my friends will attest to, is a very very wise man. A relationship that I have neglected as of late. This weekend if anyone wants to join me I will be doing a goal setting session, one on life not just pickup. Too many artists neglect the little things in life that can truely enhance that aspect. Or they immerse themselves in the game and everything else falls to shit around them. There are many different types of PUAs, I have run the gammet and evolved through many of these cycles. I see some of you where I was years ago and it truely makes me smile. Some of you are down a path that I began to take when a friend pulled me back. There is no wrong way to do this, only your way. If there was one way to pick up women there would be only 1 guru, and it would be a fullproof way that would get you laid 100% of the time. It truely is an "art". One that is ever changing and evolving. As such we must be like water, a quote stolen from the legendary bruce lee who was not only a martial artist but a great venusian artist in his own right. Im ranting now and I digress, I dont know what I want to say anymore as I have so many thoughts running through my head but I look forward to hearing anyone who wants to join.
