Forge Your Own Path
Or do pretty much anything, for that matter.
Guys would LOVE a surefire, guaranteed way to get a girl in love with them.
Girls AND guys would LOVE some magic, step by step “fix” to “get their ex back.”
Most people would readily say that they are truly willing to do ANYTHING, as long as somebody just told them what to do.
You see this in the movie all the time. The guy tells the girl, “Tell me what to do to get you back!”
Salespeople are even trained to ask customers this question:
“What can I do to earn your business today?”
Bottom line is if they’re not feeling it, it’s not going to happen.
Think of it this way. Imagine you showed up at your friends house, your belly full after eating a nice dinner.
They’ve just finished baking an onion and broccoli pie, with sliced squid on top.
You say, “No, thanks. I just ate.”
And they say, “C’mon! Tell me what to do in order to make you hungry for this!”
If you’re not feeling it, you’re not feeling it.
I hate to break this to you, but if your ex doesn’t want you want, you ain’t getting them back. No matter HOW perfect you are together.
The same goes with creating things, from scratch, like businesses, relationships, families, careers.
First of all, nobody, not even YOU, knows the full range of your skills and abilities.
Which means NOBODY can give you more than basic guidance on how to build those things.
Your job is to keep trying different things, to see how they work.
If you get closer, do more. If you don’t do less.
The truth about this is that when most people say, “I’m willing to do anything, just tell me what to do,” what they REALLY mean is “tell me the secret easy way that doesn’t involve any risk or me feeling uncomfortable.”
But this is wonderful.
The process of discovery, not only of what works, but what you’re REALLY made of is like nothing most people will ever experienced.
Most people ARE content to be told what to do. And since most people ONLY do what they’re told, most people only get what most people get. Which ain’t much!
In order to rise above the mediocrity, you’ve got to FIGURE OUT what to do, ON YOUR OWN.
This means taking risks, feeling foolish, and yes, even hearing those close to you, maybe even your loved ones, tell you you’re an idiot.
But the flip side of is that later on, when you ARE successful, they’ll PROVE their worth to you by saying, “Wow, you really ARE awesome! I’m glad I was wrong! I’m glad I know you!”
So get going.
