The reason patterns occur is because we continually repeat our behavior. There is not a magical force that makes the world out to get one person and out to destroy another. The world reacts to what you do. As people do great things then society sees it and asks them for more just as people do nothing society goes on without noticing. Or as people flail and fuck up the world sees and gives them a cold shoulder and gives them shit. The world only knows a person by their behavior. And our behavior can be reactionary or actionary ie planned. Without planning one will fall into their old habits. Shitty behavior begets itself but great behavior takes planning. And planning is easy.
Shit talking, “venting”, and getting angry is enlisting into the ranks of the same army run by the ethos that caused the reason for all of these things. Reacting is One’s only chance to change their world. To see the world as out to get me, out to get you is to make a prediction and anticipate it. The action of not looking for something and not believing that something exists makes it nearly impossible for the eyes to notice it. Even if it comes up and kisses them. SO staring at a shitty prediction as the world unfolds will tunnel vision away from all other possibilities. And the more one creates horrible anticipatory behavior the more people around you notice and don’t want to be around you. Whats worse is that it takes up the place of having a good outlook and inviting actions to the world which wants to help. People are very simple, be upbeat and show happy behavior where you work hard and they will like you and give you good things. Be negative and dismayed then talk shit and they will not want to be around you and possibly do things that will hurt you, possibly even unintentionally.
Creating good ideas is always the best thing to do. Horrible situations have the quality of blinding a person to better options. Like falling down a trap door puts on in a hole and the outside disappears from vision. In that moment making one good thought becomes brave. A courage to do something all immediate stimuli don’t even acknowledge to exist. Bravado involves a little bit of craziness in the sense that one must reject the ideas of people and the world around them. Yet always remember that we create the world and never really know what is on everyone else’s mind. Humans take eight people and project a simple understanding of them onto the rest of humanity. We are simple beasts and full scope of what a few thousand people are doing would take a few million pages to fill out. The human brain creates a generalized other, we do not know the full world. So create a good idea! Who would you like to meet? What would be a really wonderful thing to occur? What hero or great thing in the world would you like to imitate, outdo, or join? Think about that. What is an outcome that is unheard of from the bad pattern you exist in that would be absolutely amazing? Think about that and let it sound ridiculous, but start moving and get rid of the damaging thoughts for that ridiculous one.
Don’t get distracted. It is pure and simple. Look at distractions like heroin use or rape. Make them that awful as a reputation in your mind and stay disgusted with them so when they come up you can cringe and run from them. You have a goal and are driven until you make distractions more important. Escapism is distractions in the main seat of your life when you should be driving. It is a way to do something other than face the fact that you could fail. But you cannot fail. Time is not on a side and there is plenty. If you should fail, then simply change your strategy and keep moving forward. Time limits are pure stupidity because time is relative to what we make it. Stay focused on your goal, distractions are the devil. Or Whoever you hate and are disgusted with the most.
Make a schedule. Winging it is one of my favorite things to do but rarely does a good plan include that. Make step by step moves to get towards your awesome goals and accomplish the wonderful things you have aim for. Put the end goal on a piece of goddamn paper and write out all the steps to get there until you are writing about right where you sit. Then map that into your schedule for the week and stick to it. This is your golden ticket. Great things almost never happen by accident. They happen because someone is determined, willing, cunning, and plans well. Do not make ridiculous plans that can’t work. Overloading a schedule is a great way to kick this great strategy to the curb. Create a realistic schedule that is your map from where you now are to your great goals. It will happen if you plan it out and stick to this plan.
Research how other people have done this great thing that you aim for. Find a few people you can look up to, who inspire you to keep in mind when in times of need and pain or doubt. Learn about the arena that you are struggling in. Asking for help and learning new things IS the way to get better. The human ego blinds us to our own failure and makes us resent help by making it look like an insult to our pride. People do not affect our pride until we let them and people are the absolute best resources. Make a solid hour to google and read articles on the genre of activities you need done. Make notes to go with this reading. This is how you improve and stay up to date.
Know how much you’re spending and on what. This goes with energy, time, money, and patience. If a bank account is empty then there is no way to drive to the next job interview and move towards owning that company that will change the world. Keeping your numbers immediate is important in knowing what you can do and staying aware and agile in your life. Keep your numbers planned out and do not stress about them ever. They are just the result of your planning.
Keep yourself enthused!! Do things that make you happy outside of the plan and the normal day; ideally look at the steps towards those goals as they stand for proof that you’re doing great. Stay active inline with what keeps you up. Watch the sunset, hang out with people who encourage you and believe in you. Go have sex with someone who cares about you whom you find important and attractive. Clean your room, car, workspace and decorate it with things that keep you enthused. The area around you affects you. Cut out people who hurt you and stop helping people who can’t be helped or don’t want your help; that is a huge black hole. Dress the way you want and dress well. Take care of your face, teeth, body, and mind. Get some exercise and meditate; endorphins help everything and the mind needs space to function not clutter.
Making a plan and sticking to it is the simple answer to becoming great. Make sure you have a great goal, stay resourceful in how you plan and the steps involved, stay to your plan and stay enthused with yourself then don’t get distracted and you will get to ride that space Zeppelin!
