Whoa, I was reading some random persons post on Reddit and he said some interesting stuff. *How I bend reality to live each day to the fullest* Life is short. Actually, life is pretty long if you count the entirety of it. But there are more things you can do in your 20s than in your 80s. So life when you can accomplish the most has an incredibly narrow window. So I count every day until my next birthday, to remind myself that I have less than 365 days at the age I am right now. And one I reach that next birthday, I will never be that age again. Living each day in anticipation of your age increasing has allowed me to get away with stuff others put off because they think they have time. The number of approaches I do is phenomenal. I go on a run, I get a phone number. I have breakfast, get a phone number. Walking down the street, get a phone number. When you embrace how limited the time is at your age, you will go above and beyond to make every day count. You also dont take things as personally. A person doesnt like you, doesnt matter, because you do not have enough time to care what one single person thinks of you. Youve already moved on to the next. Perception creates reality. This is why I avoid Facebook: people craft these wonderful lives on Facebook, tricking your perception into thinking their lives are actually that great, even though they suffer in their own ways. But you dont know that, so your distorted perception of them is the reality you believe. Almost all barriers holding us back are in our mind. It is incredible what you can get simply by asking for it. When you ask for something, whether it is for a number, for a promotion, for a discount, anything, all the what-ifs constructed in your mind are no longer there. You just cut through the majority of the red tape standing in the way of getting what you want. If it is a man made construct, there is a flaw with it. If you figure out the flaw, you can exploit it to your advantage. We cannot completely understand nature, but we can certainly understand what men have created. You see what you want to see in others. If you dont like someone, you exaggerate their flaws. If you are into someone, you highlight their advantages. I use this fact of human nature to define what people are worth pursuing. Some people want a boyfriend/girlfriend. When I come along with my pickup, they immediately see all the benefits of me filling the role. Anything I can do in my 80s I refuse to do in my 20s. This includes watching movies, browsing Facebook, and filling my head with internet news. I always however leave an outlet for these activities, dedicating about 30 minutes a day to do these time wasting activities. Going cold turkey is the fastest way for a diet to fail, so I always leave a tiny outlet for stuff like this. A person is out of your league only if you believe that. If you believe he/she is in your league, then he/she is. Robert Greene in the international bestseller The 48 Laws of Power describes this as The Strategy of the Crown: Act royal, and you will be treated as such. Greene goes on to describe how the Christopher Columbus, who was of the middle class, talked so confidently to the Queen and truly believed he deserved to be of nobility, that he succeeded in having the Spanish state fund his voyage to America. A final thought: you can accomplish a lot later in life. It is never too late to get what you want. That still is no excuse to live every day to the fullest, building and preparing yourself for a successful future.
