are you getting what you want?
here's the secret recipe:
Hey bro,
Today's email is about getting what you want.
Gasp.
As if there is anything wrong with that.
In fact, a lot of people would say getting your way is "selfish" and "arrogant"
And my family are those people.
I was trained from a young pup to believe that anything that I do for myself is inconsiderate.
Because other people ALWAYS come first, right?
More money? Forget about it.
Beautiful women? She'd never go for me.
Setting boundaries? LOL.
Here's the thing you need to look out for:
If you don't do anything for yourself (which you always do anyways, you just want to appear 'holier than thou'.)
None of the inner work gets done.
Nobody can meditate for you,
Nobody can read for you,
And nobody can stand up for you. (at least not every time)
The cure for this is self-reliance.
Most people walk around like their parents are always going to be there to protect them.
Or the police will always arrive on time.
Newsflash,
They won't.
How do you like them apples?
