The Success Principles Journal

18 posts in this topic

The Success Principles by Jack Canfield. This is a phenomenal book that contains all of the practical tips on how to get what you want out of life. Its time that I start focusing on this aspect as I would like to be a successful, mature, and financially independent man that enjoys his work and has an abundance of wealth in relationships, women, sex, and money. 

I am going to work on this aspect of my life by going through the book chapter by chapter and doing the exercises honestly. This is stage orange, I am trying to integrate and maximize stage orange in my life, that is the goal here. 

Lets get started. 

Principle 1: Take 100% Responsibility for Your Life

I feel like I have a good grasp on this in my life. I will not be making any excuses, there is no blaming, no making other people feel bad for me. This is where I am at, I take full responsibility for where I am at in life. And I take full responsibility for what I am doing about it and where I am heading. It is my life, it is my responsibility to take ownership of it and make it my own. 

Principle 2: Be Clear Why You're Here

I am here because I would like to maximize stage orange. I want success, love, intimate partners, sex, good looks, I want all of the material desires that I can think of. 

Principle 3: Decide What you Want

Lets focus on this chapter today, deciding what I want. Write it down, be clear about it. Going to read this chapter today.

Principle 1: Take 100% Responsibility for your life 

Write down some things that I blame other people for: 

  1. I had a difficult childhood. It's my family's fault 
  2. My friends aren't very ambitious, so neither am I. It's their fault. 
  3. up until now, I have blamed women for my lack of success with them. I blame them for being difficult to talk to, for not giving me a chance, for only wanting the hottest guy in the bar. 
  4. I blame D***** and Y***** and I*** for me not being happy right now at the dance studio

Now, let's flip this around. How would I think about these situations if I were to take full responsibility for them. 

1. Instead of blaming my family for my difficulties, I could focus on and be grateful for the value that they have added to my life. I take 100% responsibility for my life because I have 100% control over what I do about it. 

2. Instead of blaming my friends for their lack of ambition, I can take full responsibility for my own ambition and motivation in life. I am a warrior, a warrior that is geared and ready to take down any demon that dares cross my path. 

3. Instead of blaming women for my lack of success with them, focus on what you can do right now, right fucking now to improve. Focus on talking with them more, making them feel more comfortable. If you are resenting them, feel into the resentment, and then later ask yourself why the resentment.

4. Instead of blaming the workers at the dance studio for my unhappiness, I could take my own unhappiness into my own hands. How could I do that? If I am feeling useless because I don't have any lessons to teach, I could start writing down what I am going to teach in my next lesson. I could have a plan when I go into the dance studio, "this is what I am going to work on today because I want to accomplish or achieve x, y, and z."

Principle 2: Be Clear Why You're Here: Determine Your Life Purpose

I don't have one right now, lets start with this one that I really like and lets try to make it personal to me. 

"My purpose is to inspire every woman to realize her own personal beauty, regardless of body type, size, or age, to love yourself, and to live brilliantly." - Rani St. Pucchi, Fashion Designer and Author

Why do I like this statement? 

Because I have experienced many insecurities about my own body type and size. I'd like to deal with these insecurities myself while also accepting and inspiring other people to accept theirs and to love themselves and to allow themselves to act authentically. I feel that I can inspire people through dance, my role as a dance instructor will be to encourage men and women to accept themselves fully, to embrace their inner beauty and most importantly to not suppress their sexual side. I have suppressed my sexuality out of shame, not wanting to come off as creepy, like being sexual is wrong. I am still dealing with this. I'd like to deal with it and encourage others to express their sexual side as well. Smile. Smile more when you dance with women or interact with men. A smile shows the person that you accept who they are and how they act. Smile.

Principle 2: Be Clear Why You're Here: Determine Your Life Purpose: What do I need to do to get on track with my life purpose

I want to encourage and inspire men and women that they can have anything and everything that they want out of life. You deserve the world, and I will help you get there. 

My life purpose is still a work in progress, but I think this is a good start. What do I have to get in order in my life so that I can put more attention on my life purpose?

  1. The first and foremost thing that I would need to get in order is the organization of my life. My room is a mess, my clothes are not organized, my bed is disgusting (i.e. no girl will sleep in there as is), I lose everything, etc... I must get my life organized if I am to fulfill on my life purpose

.... Lets get to work

I came into this job being selfish. 

Now I can't shake the feeling. 

How do I shift from selfish to selfless? 

You love. You love with all of you heart.

You love until it hurts.

Until it bleeds.

Until you couldn't possibly go any further.

 

I'm learning to love.

Slowly but surely.

To love every being of the universe.

To love every speck of dust, every grain of sand.

One must surrender.

Surrender to the process.

Surrender to your life.

 

How much can I give?

Can I give any further?

Can I give any more to myself? 

Can I be any less selfish?

These are the questions

 

But be gentle with me

I might not be ready

 

I'm destined to do something

Something will happen before I die

I will go through events, make mistakes, make choices, fall in love with people, fall in love with myself, jump out of an airplane, dance on dancing with the stars, be a phenomenal dancer, have sex with 100 girls, motivate and inspire others, have a full head of hair, post beautiful, sexy pictures in my Instagram, call people out on their shit, be loving towards my wife, be respectful and punctual at all times, loving every being as deeply as I can 

 

But why did I do that?

That was annoying

I just want to be better.

Why did I do that?

Why do I care about others perceptions?

Because I'm scared

Scared what would happen if I don't care

 

If I don't care then I can't love

Is this true? 

He was showing off

Killing it

 

I want more role models

 

I want to be the best dancer I can be.

 

I want to take my life purpose seriously.

 

Do these people really believe in me?

 

Why would they? 

 

I have issues.

 

Fuck.

Love every "issue" that you have. Love every blemish on your record.  Love the embarrassing side of you. Love your hair. Love your skin. Love your eyeballs. Love your legs. Love your bed. Love your hygiene habits. Love your dick. Love your selfish intentions. Love yourself for you. 

 

Let it go.

Let it all go.

Nothing left.

You're blowing in the wind.

Principle 3: Decide what you Want

Be honest with yourself when contemplating what you want. Don't follow someone else's dreams, follow your own authentic path! 

Stop saying "I don't know, I don't care and it doesn't matter." It does matter, you have your own preferences, make them known to the world. Your wants and desires are important.

Exercise: Make an "I want" list of 30 things your want to do, 30 things you want to have, and 30 things you want to be before you die.

Intermission

Since deciding to get back into pickup, I've been experiencing ego backlash. I have been jerking off a lot, being lazy, not standing by my own habits, etc. The funny thing is I've actually been a lot happier since Ive decided to start my pick up journey again. It was as if I had this burning desire inside of myself that Ive been hiding from and now it is out in the open and I am going to fully embrace it. 

What made me fall off of the pick up journey was that I got a girlfriend, she loved me, I loved her, she was nice to me, we had sex, we went on trips together, she made me laugh. It was a beautiful period in my life. But I always had this nagging desire to get back into pick up, and when she started to talk about getting married in as soon as a couple of years, I knew that it wasn't a good idea to continue any further. 

A man embarks on the pick up journey not for the fruits, but for the growth that he will get from obtaining said fruits.

The main things that I'm working on right now in my life are: 1. Finances, getting income up so that I can live comfortably. 2. Pick up, hitting on women as often as possible and having sex with them. 3. Being more mature, delaying instant gratification in favor of long term principles and values, sticking to habits such as working out 3 times a week, making sure my caloric intake is at least 2700 calories, meditating every morning, 4. Living with integrity, not doing anything for blatantly selfish reasons, caring about the feelings of other, understanding that you have your own biasees.

Continue to work on these things and in just a few years you will be a very attractive, mature, highly conscious young man. 

At the end of this period, I predict that you will truly be ready to take the leap into tier two thinking, the systems approach. Then you will start to dissolve the ego.
