People are always looking for shortcuts. They want the easy way- and why not? Life is too short to waste. So when it comes to making money, dating beautiful women, or achieving power most people want techniques and to be told what to do. I’m here to tell you one obvious truth that is the single most important factor to your success. Are you ready? It’s not a matter of technique or trick: It’s WHO YOU ARE.
Its tough to be a leader and to enroll people into your reality if you don’t know who you are. Another way to put this is: who or what you are being.
What are you ‘all about?’ If asked, could you tell someone in one or two precise sentences? You can people watch and ask yourself what word come to mind when you see people walking. Ask yourself, “what is this person saying without even speaking?” You immediately know that guy with gold teeth, sagging pants, and a swagger to his walk is conveying “toughness” or the word “thug” comes to mind. You see the blond girl with the huge glasses, tiny dog, and expensive purse. “Paris Hilton clone” or “rich bitch” is who she is being. I’m not telling you to stereotype, but I do want to increase your awareness of what you are communicating to others non-verbally.
"Who you are speaks so loudly, I can't hear what you are saying"
What about you? What are you conveying to other people? Do you even know?
Your goal is to seek inner harmony. You must be congruent in your reality. You want to come from a solid place of inner peace. Seek to eliminate inner conflict and trim away the layers that are not serving you.
A great way to grow is to challenge your beliefs. It may be extremely uncomfortable at first, but when you realize that you aren’t your beliefs, you can cut and cull away as necessary. This is important, because as was mentioned before, in human interaction, the person who believes in their view of the universe more, wins. That belief system dominates. So to put it simply, if you have a cloudy reality with inner conflict, you aren’t as powerful as you could be.
So back to determining who you are…a helpful hint is this: most people look externally, and let other people or things define them. The truth is, you have the power over this, contrary to what most think. In fact, because you know the power of belief systems, you know that you can influence others opinions of you, simply by believing strongly in yourself!
Most people are followers looking around waiting for someone to tell them what to do, who to be, and what’s “hot.” You have the power to determine those things for yourself. Fuck what some commercial says-they just want your money. What do you think is cool? Thats whats important. I can’t remember where I read it, but I always liked the quote, “Put a smile on your face first.”
Don’t blindly follow the crowd. Be who YOU want to be. Make no apologies and take no prisoner. You’ll wake up one day to find that you are lighter, happier, and living harmoniously.
