HOW TO AVOID SNAPPING Displaying anger is rarely a good idea. Of course, some situations call for it; some people simply do not understand anything but that. But in most cases? Bad move. A lot of people will get on your nerves. They'll say things and…

Develop your ability to inflict damage.
You have to be capable of violence not to bully innocent people but to protect yourself from bullies.
Most of the time, you won't need to use it.
But when you do need it?
You'd better be capable of it.
This is not an invitation to become violent.
This is an invitation to get stronger.
Physically. Mentally. Financially.
You need to be able to not only get back up from any hit life may send your way.
But also be able to dissuade whoever wants to take what's yours.
And you can't do that if you can't defend yourself.
Get dangerous.
Stay dangerous.
Don't let anyone fuck with you.

You don't magically get lucky.
This does not exist.
People who get lucky were people trying to force their luck for so long.
Even the guy who won the lottery actually went to buy a ticket every day.
You don't get lucky by waiting for luck.
You get lucky by looking for luck.
You get lucky by putting in the reps and getting better.
Gambling may not be the best example here but it's an extreme one to show you that even the most effortless ways of making it still require consistent effort.
There is no point doing anything if you expect results right away.
And if you put it the reps and do it consistently?
Can't it still be called luck?
or forcing probabilities.
Rig the game.
Repeat it as many times as it takes to get it right.
Failure is a step not a final destination.
Learn, get better, get lucky.

Some people will hate you for no reason.
They will always exist and you will always cross their path.
When that happens, you have two choices:
If there is nothing to gain, ignore them and keep going.
If they stand in your way, you have no choice but to eliminate them.
No 3rd option.
A quick cost-benefit analysis takes no more than a few seconds.
If you just pay attention and see the bigger picture, you'll quickly know what path to follow.
Do not waste your time with things that bring you nothing back.
Especially if it takes away your energy with no return.
That's exactly what happens when you give too much attention to low-life haters.
If you can ignore them without it impacting your life in the slightest, the choice is easy.
If they keep trying to fuck with you, you have to fuck them up.
Make sure they can't recover.
Make sure they can't seek revenge.

It's pretty simple:
Sometimes you have to objectively evaluate some of your relationships.
Some of your friends are pulling you down.
This is not because they're losers and that makes you a loser; that's bullshit.
It's simply because you refuse to accept them as they are.
Some people do not want to change.
You don't have to cut them out.
You simply have to stop wasting your time giving them advice they don't care about or giving them opportunities you know they will fuck up.
Not everyone is your responsibility.
If they don't want to improve, let them be.
They're adults.
They're responsible for their own choices.
Focus on yourself and those who welcome your input wholeheartedly.
Do not waste your energy on someone that doesn't value it.

Every social interaction is dictated and conditioned by power.
Wherever you go, there will be power games being played.
That's why the first and most important thing to understand in order to improve your social skills, is the role of power in social contexts.
For example, some people may have a natural authority over you because of the hierarchy you are both part of.
A father, an employer, a boss or a client.
But power goes beyond that.
Because it is also part of regular interactions with friends or family.
In fact, every group of people has a power structure that can be either explicit or implicit.
In a group of friends, the leader is usually not "officially elected" but rather naturally takes the lead. That's an example of implicit power structure.
Even in couples, there is always a leading and a following side.
But power isn't that negative concept you may be thinking of.
Power is just natural and it exists everywhere.
Power simply means the ability to get things done.
In French, "Pouvoir" means "being able to" but also "authority".
And this slight difference in connotation makes people confused.
When we talk about Personal Power, it is simply your level of influence over the world and the people that surround you.
So, ask yourself:
As of today, how powerful am I?
If I took a decision, how easily would I be able to implement it?

You view your life as boring because you lack intention.
Intentionally repeating because you know you only get better by earning your shit and putting in the reps.
This genuine approach makes you enthusiastic about it all.
If you do things with the intention of genuinely improving and progressing.
Every repetition is nothing bu another brick in the wall.
You can be doing the exact same thing but mindlessly and you'd feel bored.
Your intention matters.
If you don't know why the fuck you're doing it?
Stop doing it.
Channel your energy towards what you know is making you a better person overall.
Whatever increases your competence level, your soft skills level or your knowledge base.
Do that.
Do it intentionally.
Not because you were told it's good.
But because you know you have to go through the pain of being a beginner if you ever want to become an expert in anything.
Put your reps in.
Do it with enthusiasm and a genuine desire to improve.
There is no shortcut for this.

Increase the goal to reduce the pressure.
If you're close to achieving something you've worked on for a long time, you'll start to feel a huge pressure when you get close to your goal.
That's when you aim for more.
Instead of being under pressure to finish, you capitalize on the pride of getting where you got to.
Reflect on this.

Resist the urge to overexplain and overshare.
Focus that energy on actually reaching your goals.
Stop seeking comfort through complaints.
Stop seeking validation through bragging.
Two sides of the same coin.
You do not believe in yourself so you need other people to comfort that feeling or make it go away.
But it doesn't work that way.
That feeling only goes away when it's replaced by the satisfaction of knowing fully that you are exactly what you could be.
It goes away when you live up to your potential.
Not when you waste it away.
Simply get shit done.
No way around this.

Approach the world as if nobody was against you.
Because nobody is.
Once you understand that people are for themselves and not against you, you start figuring out ways to build mutually beneficial relationships.
Do what's right for yourself.
Stop seeing everyone as a competition.
Start seeing people as opportunities to cooperate.
Once you make this paradigm shift, most of your relationships become positive.
Of course, as always and everywhere, you will meet some motherfuckers who do not want to cooperate with you.
Bully the motherfuckers.
Make them avoid you.
