What's up guys,
I've been reading quite a lot about basketball players like Jordan, Kobe, and Lebron. They all seem to have the same crazy, insane, ruthlessness when it comes to training well and winning games. After reading books written by their trainers and psychologists(Tim Grover, Bob Rotella), I've come to realise that these guys literally see themselves in a different light compared to their teammates and competition. They have this raw instinctual understanding of who they truly are and what they're actually capable of. Their self-image is defined by themselves first and foremost and this just translates into their focus, discipline and humility displayed on the courts. They see themselves as killers, as winners, as champions and that's exactly what they've been their whole careers.
It seems like part of the reason I have experienced so much failure early on in my seduction career is because I still had this image of myself as a boy. I felt wrong approaching older women and thought that they wouldn't take me seriously and this thought was self-fulfilling. In terms of my work, I still saw myself as the bright but lazy and undisciplined kid in school who couldn't give two shits about doing homework or studying for tests. Who pitched up late for class and bunked classes whenever a good opportunity crossed his path. Again, my self-image, which had me lacking in my abilities to remain focused and disciplined at work manifested in real life and again I suffered as a result. I came to realize that if I wanted to achieve all of my lofty goals and build an excellent life, I was going to have to start thinking of myself as a man. A dominant man, who takes responsibility and remains committed to his pursuits.
This mindset shift of mine, is still quite young but incredibly helpful. I've regained my confidence in social situations and I have no more need to entertain and charm people like I did when I was a kid. I feel more assertive when I demand things from people and I work slightly more efficiently compared to a few months back. However, I feel like I can maximize my time spent studying and practicing my different crafts(including pickup) if I further develop my self-image as a dominant man.
Any tips or tricks on how to build this self-image of mine? Or perhaps does anyone relate to the importance of self-image and want to share something in relation to this post?
Merci!
