Concepts at first are not easy to grasp. Especially because you are looking to change yourself, not destroy yourself.
I can take you down a number of paths. Some will come to realize them on their own; others will sit by wondering who Britney Spears is currently having sex with.
You must ask yourself a number of questions. Questions you have been denied, questions which do not seem rational to you right now, so try your best to maintain an open-mind.
Why do I have ambitions?
Why do I want a job?
Why do I want an education?
Now these seem like rather basic questions, I will not argue. Probably answers you’ve learned in school, not from the teaching material but the verbal advice of your peers and instructors.
You are probably thinking to yourself “What? These are terribly easy questions to answer! Where are you going Smooth?” Well here is where I throw in something else.
What we like and what we do not like:
I believe that we do, in fact, like certain things and dislike certain things. This is a basic principle we all live our lives by. We like hot girls, we dislike ugly girls etc.
The question or even theory I am going to raise revolves around where that comes from.
Bob: What do you think of apples, John?
John, does not ask himself “Hmm…would I eat an apple right now?”. John recalls in his memory, if he likes apples or not – because at some point in his life he made the decision as to whether apples are the food for him.
The point I’m making is that we no longer base our likes and dislikes based upon our current feelings on the given topic, only what we have engraved in our minds as to what we favor.
Where this leads us, is the social influence’s impact on our character, have you ever felt like you needed to possess a certain trait or were required to fit some type of classification to “fit-in”? Sure you have, we all have.
Now what the hell am I leading to? The answers of the original 3 questions of course! I’ll place them again, here.
Why do I have ambitions?
Why do I want a job?
Why do I want an education?
Why do you have ambitions? Now you still have the same answer, but ask yourself a branching question from that root:
Is my answer to ‘Why do I have ambitions?’ my own or the one society has placed onto me, a burden?
I would be a ****ty point maker if I didn’t give you an argument to help you…
What is the point of having a job? I’ve asked this to others before, and I typically receive the answer “So I can have money”. I must of course dig deeper, as such a vague optimistic answer was clearly not what I was looking for
.
Why do you want money? “So I can have buy stuff!”
..and why do you want to buy stuff?
Answer that yourself. Look deep inside of you, and try your hardest to look beyond what you consider normal. Someone else here has said that there is no normal, I concur, however there is a normality based within a range of given presets which permit you into a social group.
There is no denying that you are a social animal, therefore you will have ambition to meet these prerequisites to become socially superior. Hell, you probably came to this site for that very reason.
Your answer? Probably far off from the truth… The reality is you are looking for happiness. This probably seems like an easy answer, searching for happiness…
It’s a lie. Why are you searching for happiness? To become happy of course!
There are more then one type of happiness, and let me tell you not one of them is infinite... but it is not the emotion’s fault.
Emotions feed on life. Imagine your emotions as a car. Happiness gets 2 miles a gallon, sure it rides a lot easier but you are clearly going to run out of gas soon.
What happens when you run out of gas? You get depressed!
No you are not alone. Everyone is happy from 3-5 and then depressed from 5-7. Because happiness is an emotion that will feed on gas so quickly that you won’t have time to reach the gas station!
Where am I leading? Serenity! Being serene is a smooth ride, not quite happiness, but it’s smooth and makes you feel…serene.
Do you want to be the one falling from happiness to depressed, or the guy who’s serene with life? Now don’t make a mistake with serenity being happiness. It isn’t.
I’ve gotten pretty deep thus far, and I’ve only begun! I’m going to assume your sitting in your chair, perhaps enlightened, perhaps curious, perhaps you hate the word perhaps.
We’re all going to make this realization, and I’m going to help some of you get it.
You are going to grow-up, and odds say you aren’t going to have any specific passions which will make you money. You figure, hey I can work at so-and-so and still be happy as long as I’m making enough money to supplicate my needs!
Let’s say you want to get into photography, you figure “Hey if I work this weekend rather then use my days off I can buy a camera.”
Deciding that photography is something that interests you (while in reality you think it is going to make you happy, this photography), you work the weekend and buy the camera.
You go to BestBuy, purchase it, take it home, and try to make some beautiful pictures. It’s pretty cool, for about 48 hours.
After those 48 hours you are left right where you began. You aren’t happy; your camera happiness supplication has ran-dry. Your tank of gas was sucked dry from the fuel happiness requires.
So what is the point of working?
Here at SoSuave it is commonly preached that you should self-improve. Why?
You can look at yourself, and say:
Well I’ve got a belly, if I lose the belly, get a hair-cut, grow a little goatee, buy some new clothes (like SoSuave all suggested) I can be happy.
I’m not suggesting that the individual suggested here is looking for perfection, merely happiness. 9 out of 10 people I have polled told me their sole goal in life is to be happy.
So you do all this, and you go out and hit on some ladies. You get a number; you go home, wait the 3-5 days (or whatever piece of advice you followed from SoSuave) and call her up.
You setup a date for the next week. You have a girl-friend. You are happy, for about a week.
What is the point? You did all that work to:
A.) Get a camera which made you happy for what, 2 days?
B.) Get a girlfriend who made you happy for what, 2 weeks?
Where is this “happiness” in life we are all searching for? Why do we work when our happiness is finite and fading?
This isn’t about growing balls; you came to this website to learn how to get women. Am I wrong? Didn’t you wonder why girls are dating Joe the Jock and not you?
You’re looking for techniques, a simple maneuver that will change your success rate with women. Something to change you, self-improve you, all these things based to get you a girl, to make yourself happy.
Assuming you still want a girlfriend, the greatest advice I can give you is to become serene with yourself and your surroundings prior.
I beg of you to understand and realize the consequences of all our actions! Not necessarily negative consequences, but nevertheless I want you to mentally visit the end of the road on every path you chose to ride upon.
I again realize that some of you are out there merely looking for a way to be happy for a night. I’m going to help you, too.
As said in the post before this one, we must kill your apple-tree. Burn it down! Set it on-fire!
We must un-do all of society’s bounds! In this post I explained to you what should be the beginning of your new red-wood tree. The roots of your DJ-hood.
Ask yourself these questions, contemplate your significance (but to an end, as what you will find may be depressing, and what good will that do us?).
It may seem as if I am continually leading onto something which I won’t give to you, but by the end you will understand all that you wish to know.
My best wishes. I hope you grasp the concept here, and be patient with what will come next.
