For my own repetition, and hopefully to someone else's gain, I'll share the essence of what I have learned this far (reposted).
PART I
So you want to be unstoppable?
I’ll give you are recipe for feeling unstoppable. A recipe that will make you leap out of bed in the morning, keep you smiling and laughing all day and make you quiver when the day is over and you have to go to bed.
All of a sudden you’ll find yourself approaching a woman hoping she’ll resist. Hoping she’ll make you work for it. It’s too boring otherwise.
You’ll volunteer for the hardest tasks at work or in school. Or you’ll take on more tasks than any sane person would expect anybody can handle. And you’ll ace it all. Just because you can.
I’ll show you where the juice is coming from.
Note that this is not something I copied from some website. I live this every day. I’ve lived all of these bullet points on and off for the last 5 years and I’ve noticed what makes the difference and what doesn’t. This is not a load of philosophical nonsense. This is empirically tested (one exception, I’ll tell you later), if that means anything to a load of scumbag pirates like the lot of you. I know it doesn’t to me. I’d just trust it and be on my merry way.
Ready?
Allright, put on some juicy music and read on.
Now.
This is number 1. All of the following ingredients can be done in this very moment, and it is crucial that you take action. Right NOW. I’ll leave you with a couple of examples and the words of a giant:
“The road to some day leads to a town called nowhere.”
Example of Now (1):
Last week, I hosted a beer tasting with a couple of friends. Turns out all three of us had entertained the thought of brewing beer. That was the founding day of our brewery. I immediately found some books on beer and ordered a book on home brewing from the library (I mean, immediately, as in the moment we started taking about it). Today I received prices on utilities from one of the other brewmasters and later this week we are getting together to plan it out and buy the stuff we need.
Example of Now (2):
Today, I was having lunch with a buddy of mine and we started talking about motorcycles. We started discussing traveling by motorcycle. None of us have the license for it, and none of us have the money needed to get it right now. So I said: ‘You know what. Fuck it. Lets do it.’ I picked up my little black book and I wrote it down in the back of it where I schedule my dreams so that they won’t disappear. In other words, where I make them real. I wrote: ‘Travel by motorcycle with ……’. I started saving money today. In the moment I decided to do it, I had already gone. He might bail, I don’t know, but I’m already there.
Pretty easy this far eh? That’s actually the hard one, and it’s the one that will make all the difference. Without Now, there is nothing.
Next.
Work out and diet.
What time is it? Is it before midnight or after 5 in the morning? Then make yourself a promise right now: After you read this article, go to the gym or go for a run or MOVE. Sweat. Sweat like a pig.
There are hundreds of ways of doing this. I lift weights, run, row and stretch. Those are the four main activities for me. I try to mix it up every once in a while, but make sure I can follow progress.
Work out 5-7 days a week. You have the time. I’ll tell you why you have the time later.
In addition, eat healthy. Self-explanatory.
If you don’t know anything about your body, working out or diet, then start studying. It’s fascinating.
If you can work out 5-7 days a week and eat healthy you’ll start feeling unstoppable in a week. You’ll feel strong, healthy, vital and energized. It does something to a man when he feels strong and healthy, it radiates. And all of a sudden you can’t keep yourself away from the gym. It just feels too good.
Be still.
This is the best advice anybody has given on this forum. There is true power in being still, if you can take it. Do you dare, or even, do you allow yourself to listen to your thoughts? Have you ever noticed how agonizing it is to be still when you’re unhappy? It’s uncomfortable and unsettling. You wanna know what it’s like when you’re feeling unstoppable? It’s not called ‘being still’ anymore, it’s called ‘bliss out’. Sitting down and pausing is the most pleasurable action you can perform (with certain exceptions indeed) when you’re happy. It’s just a massive orgy of happy pictures and thoughts. You’ll feel like there is nothing you can’t handle. You´ll start inviting challenges just to see if there is anything out there you cannot, in fact, handle.
Just sit down and dream for a while. Think about who you are and what you want to do.
Then ask yourself: ‘How would Now be a good time to do that?’.
Journal.
I mentioned my little black book earlier. The place where I make the stuff I dream up real. That is just my little day-to-day planner. Every time I think of something that I want done or want to do or am going to do I stop what I am doing and write it down. Then I can forget about it and it’ll be there when I have the time. That little black book is always within reach.
In addition, I have a journal where I put my thoughts on paper if they are especially demanding. That way I can look at it and reflect. It is also a place for celebration and joy. For my eyes only.
Take time – Have time.
Not too long ago I wrote about not distracting yourself with computers, tv-shows, the Internet and all the other noise out there. Unless it is driven by purpose, don’t do it. There’s nothing wrong with having a job working online or researching a topic on the Internet or watching an interesting documentary or even a great TV-show. What’s wrong is distracting yourself from what’s really going on in your life. Escaping into the some alternate reality because it is too agonizing to hear your own thoughts.
When you stop distracting yourself, you’ll take the time, you’ll have the time. It is yours to invest in the life you want to create for yourself.
It’ll calm you down.
It is revolution.
