Does success find us? Or do we find Success? "Chance favors the prepared mind". Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure. Are you willing to sweat blood and tears? I remember as a kid I would get so frustrated when I couldn't figure something out. My parents would ask to help but my stubbornness refused their assistance. I can remember getting so upset that I couldn't do something that I would start crying. Tears running down my face, flustered, and then. And then at that point determination would kick into overdrive and I would often, nay always, succeed. When you want something so badly that you refuse to take no for an answer you will succeed. Holy fucking shit that paragraph just motivated me. I am currently mad at myself for not busting ass lately. I definitely don't have a prepared mind.
To quote my good friend Bull Run, You must be Hungry in order to find success. Damn you Bull Run, why do you have to be correct. Marking my return to this frivolous life style of going out drinking, and hoping I meet some beauties, I find myself with a low level of motivation. Just the opposite of my desire when I first embarked on my original journey just under 3 years ago. I question how do I get my mind proper again, and will I ever.
I've often wondered why so many people joined the community, stuck around for a short period of time, and then were never seen again. Success often eludes us, so much so, that we give up before we see the fruits of our labor. This game might possibly be the most challenging one I have ever played. The starting point is different for all of us, often dictated at birth. Even with my past success, knowledge, and everything else I picked up along the way I still find it insanely difficult. Everything I know almost feels like a hindrance at times. I question every minute detail, and second guess every move I make.
So now I must ask, can I be successful without being hungry, and if so how. Or if I can't go that route, how do you find the hunger again. I originally joined the community to find a part of life that was missing. Joining the community for me was two parts. To meet women, and to live the party lifestyle once in my life. I have now done both of those so now what. I really don't have a desire to fuck a lot of girls anymore. My mind is actually leaning more towards finding a girl to, dare I say call my girlfriend.
Yes Ma'am, can you imagine the old days. Times must have been so easy back then. You tell a girl she is pretty, you show up with some flowers on your first date. You take the girl to get a milkshake and next thing you know the two of you are going steady. You get drafted and before you leave you get married. No game was required. Like clockwork, men and women paired off. A quaint little lifestyle that brought man and woman together. These relationships ended up lasting for decades, usually until death. Kind of hard questioning the way our grandfathers did things. Being a gentleman is where it was at.
Now I find myself being an Aloof, Nonchalant, ASSHOLE, in order to attract the women I desire. How the fuck can that be correct. I just want to be and act like my grandfather did. I want to be polite, open doors, nurture and provide for her. Does our current society really frown upon that? Even though I have been out of the game for 18 months upon my return I am thinking it does. Looks like I will go right back down the path of being an asshole. playercool You're such an asshole. I must have heard that a million times. Looks like a broken record will start repeating itself. How Nice.
I told myself If I got back into the game I must approach any girl I find highly desirable. If I wasn't willing to do that then what is the point. My confidence is so low these days I wonder if this is a questionable thought process. If I do approach said beauty, won't I just get blown out? Well I will with these horrible thoughts that is certain. Success breeds success. So I will cut a few heads off my totem poll, be humble, and start my path with sub-par girls. I will actively seek girls who I deem lower quality, not as good looking, and start building my confidence again. I will be a user of these girls. Yes, I am admitting being a piece of shit in order to serve my own goals. I am a little upset at these last few sentences. This is the only way I know how to rebuild myself though. It was the way I originally started, not be choice, just by randomness and I still offer it as advice to anyone struggling.
Having a few girls on hook does wonders for your confidence. A testament to this was Prodigy walking in this morning, hung-over, yet giddy with delight that he currently had 4 girls on the hook. I must admit that glow brought jealousy(the good kind) and gave me a little motivation. If I can't find success I shall live vicariously through those who do, until I find my own.
