Senior Don Juan
It’s been one hell of a ride guys. Through the ups and downs of the last two years I can venture to guess I’ve learned more about myself than I ever will. I came to this web site and like everyone else I read my ass off. I think the one thing that I “got” out of all that reading was that I needed to improve myself before stepping up to the plate. I read post after post about forgetting about the girls and to spend my time “improving” myself. So I decided to do exactly that; after all, fvck girls… life is all about becoming a better person… right?
Recently I’ve been looking back on the last two years, trying to decipher where I went wrong and what things I did right. Finally the million dollar question popped up into my head
Am I really a different person?
I suppose we like to live today for tomorrow. We love the idea that we somehow are inadequate now but we have the potential to be great later. I realized I was spending so much time thinking about how great I was going to be later on in life that I forgot how great a guy I am now. Which bring me to the most important part of this post; I think there’s a potentially huge flaw in the ideology of this web site; that we somehow have to be something different than what we are to get girls and to be successful in life.
It’s funny how it’s always easier to see the bad over the good. How it’s so much easier to find something wrong than it is to find something right… I realized something very important. No matter how much I improve myself, I’ll still be the same person at the end.
There are tons of posts out there about being great and becoming great, but have any of you ever wondered what constitutes greatness? It seems like we all have a picture in our mind of the guy we want to be (Mr. Don Juan); smooth, smart, well rounded, great smile, funny, always says the right thing; you can fill in the rest. That kind of guy is great and everything, but he’s not real. Maybe if we spent a little less time trying to figure out how to be perfect and a little more on realizing how great WE ALREADY ARE we’d be a lot better off.
As far as I’m concerned, the single greatest limiting factor in ANTYHING is believing you aren’t good enough; that you somehow need to be better to get what you want. You can put on 35 pounds of solid muscle, but you won’t be any different a person than the day you started. People come here, read, and decide to fix EVERTHING about themselves. They’re so up in arms against their past that they think they can somehow forget about it by tearing themselves down and rebuilding. Why tear a perfectly fine house down when it just has a broken sink? (ya it’s a bit tacky but I thought it fit well)
Happiness isn’t about having everything and it certainly isn’t about being everything. It’s about accepting who you are and taking responsibility for the fact that you are great, no matter how much that may scare you. At first, striving to improve is great; it gives you confidence and it gives you a sense of accomplishment, but eventually you will need to return to the source of the problem and realize who you are. When you know that you ARE great, then you can go about improving yourself however you want. You’ll run into problems by thinking that having more money, or muscle, or women or anything else will make you happy.
The time is now. Whether you want to believe it or not, YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH RIGHT NOW to go out and get what you want. So maybe we should all truly show some balls and go out and accept the responsibility that comes with being a man.
