‘defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth.’ Bruce Lee
A state of mind that I have been applying to my life recently is be the flame not the moth. Now what I mean by that is whatever it is you desire, attract it you to. Be the blaze, be the glow, be the radiance. Always assume ATTRACTION. Some of the traits to this power are as follows:
Love – have love for yourself. Keep filling yourself with this one simple but magnificent energy. Because when you have love for yourself your also able to offer it to others.
“To be loved you have to be worth loving’ Casanova
Acceptance – be true and honest with yourself. We all have our own unique qualities that make us who we are. Don’t get stuck on what you don’t have, instead be aware of what you do have and use those qualities as a tool to your advantage. If your shy be shy, if your outgoing be outgoing.
Imagine who you want to become – why?, what are those new qualities? I desire to be someone who inspires, provokes, heals, protects, has no regrets. The list goes on and on simply because I evolve. Now understand guys you can become that man anytime you want in this instance, you just have to make the choice. What are you waiting for?
Believe – if you don’t believe your enough, if you cant believe you can be enough, you never will.
Positive thinking – positivity breeds positivity. Simple as that. Always find the good in a situation. Turn the obstacles you may face into opportunities to show your true power and strength.
Abundance – there is always enough! If it doesn’t work out with one girl, there is another coming around the corner. (possibly reason it didn’t work out, the timing wasn’t right e.g. she may have just broken up with bf, been hit on 10 times already etc)
FUN - speaks for itself, enjoy everything.
Now I believe this can be applied to all areas of life, try it out and see what happens. Now in terms of women think of who and how you would like to be with them. For me I remember I wanted to come across as smooth, honest, and unexpected.
How about you?
