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?

LFG

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.

Thought it would show a preview:

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.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Don’t live in paranoia.

Yes some shit is really fucked up.

Yes some people are pulling the strings.

Yes the game is rigged.

But none of those are reasons to scream CONSPIRACY at everything you see.

You will lose your mind.

That’s not gonna help.

Don’t feed the negativity with more negativity.

Know the rules and bend them to suit you.

Just do your shit and enjoy it.

Know that it will be harder for you than for others.

But also know that it will be easier for you than for most people.

Negativity is meant to destroy itself.

Positivity is meant to build you up.

The choice is a no-brainer.

Don’t be a doomer.

Be aware of what’s going on but don’t let it eat you from the inside.

It’s a trap.

How do I know?
