Success is a Mindset (Tai Zen)

Been watching Tai Zen on Youtub, an investor/entrepreneur speak and share about his road to success. Here are some notes.

- Our behavior is based on our mindset. 
- Every time we act based on our negative self-talk is a groove dug into our brain.
- We must ask for what we want. 
- We must feel deserving for what we want.

Negative self-talk are like the lower self / excuses for why we can't do something.

Contemplated Ending My Life

 Contemplated ending my life for some reason. Is it because...

-rejection from a girl

-disrespect from the military

-failure to succeed in online courses

-fake life

-social media

-laziness

-numbed feeling

-shallow breathing

-negative media such as Asian Hate crimes

-the texts with Alex?

I walked around behind the hotel at night like usual then stopped at the pond and an ideation popped up that I should jump in the water and drown myself.

I go back after like an hour plus of walking alone to my thoughts and sometimes singing Vietnamese and entered my room.

I grabbed a knife to cut an orange and a thought of I should stab myself and then jump into the lake came up in my mind. 

I thought to myself I will say goodbye to everyone online as a common courtesy before I do away with myself. 

I thought I should write, "Fuck you so and so and fuck you racists" and all before I end it. 

I thought it would be so selfish of me to kill myself on my sisters bday. Wouldn't it mess up her bday every year?

Then I sit there blank and barely breathing. Staring into nothingness and feeling nothingness.

I catch to my senses and think - why can't I control my mind? Do I really hate myself that much? Why do I hate myself so much? Is it because I am not deserving of love? Am I comparing myself with others? Is my addiction to Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube causing me to compare myself towards others and that is why I hate myself so much?

Is it because I want to improve and know what I need to do but don't do it? Is it because I cannot control what others think of me (those who disrespect me)?

Solutions

It probably is all of this. So where do I go from here? 

  1. I will stop using social media. 
  2. I will focus on my digital marketing assignments which I have putting off
  3. I will get clear on what I want like run for exercise or hit the gym for 30 mins
  4. I will take action despite how I feel because I feel like crap when I don't take action (I thought I would feel naturally happy if I just be but no). I feel pressure to "keep up with the Jones" or achieve success. America is fucked up in this sense. They are workaholics and everything is expensive. 
  5. I need to travel outside of America for a long period to see the world and learn about the world.

Differences Between Men and Women in The Dating Game

Women

Appearance - Let's start with women first and what society values in a women. Society values outer looks in a women first and foremost. She can get more job opportunities and dating prospects. 

With social media these days women can display themselves to attract potential suitors. We all see women on instagram gaining likes and followers with ease no matter if she's in cosplay or working out. Face, boot, skin, boobs all are thirst traps women use to lure in followers, likes, and attention. Her social value is her outward appearance.

Independence (not as a big factor)- Now  a days we have women empowering women and more movies of strong, independent female characters.

Men

Looks - Now with men we are also favored by our looks (race can determine our looks too). But what if we are not attractive or the favorable race? We can invest time to body building / or athletics: martial arts or sports. We can go shopping and buy good looking new clothes.

BL - But there's more to it than looks men are respected or not through the way they carry themselves. BL includes confidence, vibe, posture, and tone. Looks and BL can go hand in hand if men put some time into the gym to bodybuild. Now this can be layer upon layer because other factors play into BL like who men surround themselves with. If he is surrounded by confident guys than he will also be confident. 

Tribe - Who your friends are or who you surround yourself with. Birds of the feather flock together. Do your friends inspire, motivate, or challenge you? Do they have similar ambitions or goals? Are they independent thinkers? Do they want to talk about business or gossip?

Status - Do other men respect me? Do other women desire me? Am I in a position of power? How much influence do I have on people? What is my occupation? Am I happy with my work?

Money and Skills - Affects the way I look and my BL because money can provide these things. What skills can men bring to the market place to earn more?

Strategically my own self-help pro-tip is that I want to focus my energy on what I want to become. Focus on the traits that I find admirable or desirable in others and work towards creating that for myself. So hang around people who are confident. Hang around other fighters. Hang around successful people doing big things and see how I can help them in anyway. 

Honestly ask myself what am I doing and is it getting me towards what I want? Be like BL and implement what is useful and discard what is useless or doesn't work. 


Male Dating Strategies (Continued) - Inbound Marketing for Dating

Preface

I'm listening to my intuition... 

Milad said I should go on a dating app. I've had no luck on there before even after paying for the services. Yesterday's post was about investing in building oneself / business rather than focus on "chasing girls." I personally feel that I'm not ready to put myself out there because I do not have a stable career. I don't like what I'm currently doing.

I think the date with Vi taught me that I have a negative vibe / energy. I'm not loving, I have a serious face, I'm AFC because I am not winning in any area.

If someone where to ask me what have I accomplished recently I wouldn't have anything to "brag" about. This also means that I have no pride in anything in my life. I am not proud of anything. Nobody wants to hang around a moping loser or negative person. 

I have to turn the table and strive towards success. To strive for the results that I want without mercy.

"No Mercy"

Some Notes I Gathered from Ruby Le's Interviewed with Kevin from Amped Asia. 

  1. Show not tell - A picture should convey a feeling. A picture should be a convo starter.
  2. Have a variety of pictures.
  3. Inbound marketing vs. Outbound - Having solid pictures and a dating profile can be a good inbound tool
  4. Be selective in which apps you choose to use. 
    1. Coffee Meets Beagle - More Asians
    2. Hinge - Interactive
    3. Bumble - Women message first
    4. Tinder
    5. Matchmaker - Expensive for the upper class
  5. Tips on approaching - be honest and direct works otherwise indirect also works. Women will always be wondering what your intentions are and why you approached her so practice talking to women and flow the convo.

Conclusion / Realization

- Be careful taking advice from friends. Challenge their ideas.
- Boost a friend with recommendations when you see fit for him. 
- Picture Project: I can help a friend out by taking photos for him when we hang out so he can use it on dating profiles.
- Focus on myself first before focusing on others. 

So in order to really put myself out there I want to be proud of me for me. I want to love myself first before I can love another person. If it so happens I do go on dates I wouldn't mind it of course either because I learn a lot from gaining experience.

Dating Strategies - The Female Thirst Trap

Recently I've noticed a common pattern. Why does it all happen in such synchrony? I mean it's only been two days and I've seen 3 Youtube videos of the same thing happening about this female thirst trap.

When things are in sync like this I feel like the Universe is forewarning me or teaching me a great lesson so listen up.

Female Thirst Trap - When a female strategically lures in a lot of beta males like a "Siren" from Greek mythology breaking the hearts and lives of many men who lust for her attention but in the end she already knows what she wants (the Alpha or the one with wealth and status) and only ends up fucking the Alpha of her choice.

Why is the Female Thirst Trap Dangerous to Men? 

Imagine being controlled by women because of her beauty. You go out of your way romanticizing the perfect date or a beautiful future together too soon. You go out your way thinking she's your everything and telling your friends what a good catch you've caught. But how many other guys is she also seeing or hitting her up on her social media? How many of them are also under her spell when she posts her latest instagram post of her in a new sexy-cute outfit?

You aren't the only one dood. Wake up. What if after the first date she doesn't text you or worst, ignores your text? Wouldn't that make everything you imagined with her a waste of energy and time that could have been spent on something more productive like investing in yourself or your studies? Did you not only waste your precious time and energy but also your resources taking her out to expensive dates? Shame on you ;)

Here's The Reoccurring Theme That I Noticed

1. 1stMan - One of his video he was going over a BBC documentary and an interview on London Real with playboy Dan Bilzerian. In summary, "Don't be a bird. Don't Chase women." The BBC documentary depicted different male birds trying to dance and gain attraction of the female bird (doing all the heavy lifting there) while the female bird just stays cool. She then tests the male bird by giving him a berry and the male bird takes the bait. She then leaves the male bird because he failed her test and acted on a whim for her. Dan and 1stMan suggests focus on building your empire or business. Build a setup and the top tier women will come or you'll be in a better position to pick and choose.

2. StepisCold - Talks about some celebrity (Azael) trying to get attention of another popular male icon. And alpha move would be to ignore her. She already has a ton of men chasing for her attention but she wants this particular popular icon so she tries to test him and get his attention with an instagram post. StephisCold also mentioned how women often tell lies or white lies to cover up their promiscuous behavior (in fear of being judged).

3. Noo Phouc Tinh - I'm Still Loving You MV - This Vietnamese artist often sings about heartbreak or the girl leaving him (victim lol). But towards the end of the MV you see a group of well-dressed men walking like brainless zombies towards the girl who rejects them each individually. One falling wound to the ground after another. All whom which are falling for her thirst trap. 

Do You See the Running Theme here? 


Suckers getting leeched by the Female Thirst Trap. For every wank a man commits because of a darn instagram post or porn video, you're already in danger of losing your attention to these Female Thirst Traps indirectly!

Men are spending their energy chasing women who have an abundance of options and faltering. Women are socially savvy. They are keen on status. They have options and choices. 

Don't be a Sucker. Don't chase women. Don't fall for these Female Thirst Traps. 

Focus on Yourself and your Goals.

Rejection by a Girl Stings - Vi

So after last Sunday's date with Vi which seems to be a flop. I don't know why she's down to hang out yet is so distance from me. 

I texted her yesterday and still haven't heard anything from her today. 

After analyzing the date with Tony it kind of seemed like I was talking bad about her and it was like intuitively I know it wasn't going to work out with her and that it's okay the fact that she doesn't text me after the date. 

Her interest level was either not there anymore after the date because I sensed it not being there during the date. I cannot even contemplate calling it a date because of her social distancing lol. 

Anyways having known all this and accepting that she isn't interested I am still hurt... I feel rejected and it's no fun. 

I know I don't have a lot of experience with girls even though I try and go out of my way to study them, approach them, and plan dates when I happen to get one in a blue moon. Here is me wasting my efforts, energy, and time while the girl is probably blase since she has so many options from online to offline to family and friends introduction.

Why do I think she isn't interested in me? 

  • She's already seized me up by asking random but strategic questions on my whereabouts
  • She has more social intelligence (extroversion)
  • She's independent and works out where as I am a mama's boy
  • I have terrible acne / acne scars
  • My face is a resting bitch face / AFC who hasn't had any luck in a long long time
  • Inherently I'm not stable - no full-time career. Not a man with a mission.
  • I feel inferior at my "workplace"
  • I don't get respect from anywhere
So what's a guy like me to do? I'm just being honest. Girls don't want someone on the bottom rung they want someone better than them. Someone who is cocky, confident, and is popular.

I got to get this off my chest and move on. 

If I could wish for one skill it would be the ability and energy to focus on being a master learner and accomplish my goal of becoming a digital marketer. Once done I will have the resources and respect to command what I wish.

Childhood Trauma - The Word "No"

 I hate the word "No." How many times did I have to face this word? 

No you cannot buy that toy as my siblings and I begged and begged on the streets where a seller was selling toys on a cart in VN.

No we cannot afford martial arts school. 

No we cannot afford extracurricular for you to play an instrument. It costs money to buy or rent an instrument. 

No you have to do this homework or take this class to graduate.

Naturally when we were kids we would ask for things or want things but when our parents cannot afford it or tells us no we feel rejected or not loved. This goes deep. We don't know what love is really. 

In Asian culture we believe love is meant given attention or whatever it is to one and another. So when we hear the word, "No" it is as if the ones we believe who raised and loved us, our parents, are rejecting us. 

So we get bitter and bitter and unhappy when we don't get what we want. We think to ourselves am I worthy of love? 

No you cannot stay out with friends. 

No you cannot do a sleep over with your friends (We think to ourselves - Does my parent even trust me? Apparently not...)

Do you think any door of opportunities will open if the word "No" is tossed around so frivolously? Saying "No" is like being closed-minded. It's like closing the door or not even trying to open the door that could unlock to new relationships, opportunities, or interests.

Life is more than just staying at home watching tv, surfing the net, or playing video games. These fake realities that we create and bubble that we create for ourselves is limiting our vast potential as a human being. 

On top of that being nice or being reserved/timid does not help. Being afraid of the world does not help. 

We must be lions at heart and face the world in which the reality it presents itself head on. Would a Lion be a King if he isn't able to face his fears and look at his enemies right in the eyes? Definitely no and no one would want to follow a coward. 

Cowardice comes in many forms. The word itself implies taking advantage of the weak, being weak, or being afraid to take things head on. You can safely associate the word cowardice with fear. Don't be a "cow" be a humble, bold and determined Lion King!

Solutions

1. Instead of directly telling a kid "No" you cannot have this or do that explain to them what they COULD do to attain it. And also do not lie to the kid by coming up with excuses to justify the no for example, "You cannot go inside that cave, there's a monster in there." 

Asians for some reason like to instill fear or use fear as a tactic to prevent children from doing things and manipulating children to do things they wish. What does this do to the kid? It instills fear of the world, and anxiety at an early age that the world is not safe. 

2. Donate time or money to underprivileged kids to allow them to do extracurricular activities. This will allow them not only to learn and be confident in themselves but also stay away from trouble like drugs and alcohol. 

Conclusion

So say yes. Think twice before you yourself rob someone of opportunities. We were meant to learn and grow as a human species, to help one another achieve happiness and success. 

Autonomy comes with allowing a child early on to make ones own decision based on his or her interest. Autonomy comes with power and personal responsibilities. Let the kid make his or own decisions and let him or her follow through. We do not want to raise sheeps but independent thinkers who will advance and contribute to this world.

"All knowledge is self-knowledge." - Bruce Lee

Instill confidence and personality by saying yes to opportunities in life. Go out and figure it out because that's were creativity and the most learning is meant to take place - when we face the very thing in front of us.
