The Success Principles Journal

[Spiritual Warrior]

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."

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.

Principle 4: Believe its Possible

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” In fact, the mind is such a powerful instrument, it can deliver to you literally everything you want. But you first have to believe that what you want is possible. And belief is a choice. It is simply a thought you choose to think over and over until it becomes automatic.

“Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.” - Richard Bach

“You must find a place in yourself where nothing is impossible.” - Deepak Chopra

Principle 5: Believe in Yourself

There are many inspiring stories in this chapter. Come back to this if you are looking for a good kick in the butt

“You weren’t an accident. You weren’t mass produced. You aren’t an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the Earth by the Master Crafstman” - Max Lucado

You have to believe that you have what it takes to make it happen. 

Believing in yourself is a choice. It is an attitude you develop over time.

You must choose to believe that you can do anything you set your mind to - anything at all - because, in fact, you can.

If you assume in favor of yourself and act as if it is possible, then you will do the things that are necessary to bring about the result. If you believe it is impossible, you will not do what is necessary, and you will not produce the result. Either way, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

“The phrase “I cant” is the most powerful force of negation in the human psyche.” - Paul R Scheele

If you are going to be successful, you need to give up the phrase “I can’t” and all of its cousins, such as “I wish I were able to.” They actually make you weaker when you say them. 

“Its never too late-never too late to start over, never too late to be happy” - Jane Fonda

“You have to believe in yourself when no one else does. Thats what makes you a winner.” - Venus Williams
