The other night was a lot of fun.
I always enjoy attending membership drives and have a lot of respect for those that show up, as it demonstrates ones commitment and willingness to evolve and become better.
I can still remember my first membership drive as if it were yesterday. As a previously shy and insecure young boy, I was scared shitless hiding in the corner of the McDonald’s, trying to wrap my head around what I had just gotten myself into…
At the time, there were very few active members and limited resources within the community. There was no book “The Game”, or VH1 reality TV show, or very many DVDs or audio programs.
But, I was motivated and was HUNGRY. I had the “eye of the tiger”, which led to an ultimate transformation, creating who I am today.
Who would’ve imagined, three years later, I’m attending yet another membership drive - this time to share my wealth of knowledge and experience which I’ve accumulated over the years. It’s crazy.
All of the members attended, myself included, are living proof that CHANGE can occur if one is committed and determined enough.
We’ve all made tremendous progress… and I’ve witnessed it first-hand.
It’s really amazing, when you think about it.
But, it isn’t always easy. Over my three years of attending these membership drives, I’ve seen so many faces come and go. I guess they realize it’s too difficult or challenging for them. Or they simply don’t want it bad enough.
The way that I think of it is kind of like the Matrix. When guys show up, they have two options: to take the red pill, or the blue pill.
If you decide to take the red pill, you get to go back to your typical, everyday existence - where it’s comfortable and easy, and you can just remain content without having to push your comfort zone.
Or, if you decide to take the blue pill, you are opened up to unlimited possibilities and amazing adventure - a world where anything is possible, where you will shatter your old limiting beliefs and expectations, and a new reality and way of living is formed.
Life will never be the same again…
During the membership drives, I usually have a mixture of emotions. I’m usually really happy and excited, but at the same time, am a bit sad and distressed.
I’m happy and excited, because I look forward to witnessing the individual transformations that these new friends will undergo, as they embark on this glorious journey to become a more social, confident and attractive human being.
I’m sad and distressed, because I know that some of these people I will NEVER see again, as they vanish and disappear off the face of the earth, probably because they realize it’s too challenging and would rather remain where the comfort is.
Ultimately, it comes down to making a DECISION.
All CHANGE begins with the DECISION to change.
You have to decide…
Am I going to throw in the towel, take the red pill, stay within my realm of comfort and limited possibilities, where I can continue my practical, generic lifestyle and NEVER live the life that I desire…?
OR, am I going to step up, take the blue pill, DECIDE that I’m going to commit myself to maximizing my potential, and proactively strive to become better and better, moving towards the lifestyle that I DESERVE??
You would think it’d be a no-brainer.
To wrap up, I’m going to quote the amazing Anthony Robbins…
“It’s in your moments of decision that your DESTINY is shaped.”

Not everyone is going to find their answer by joining a lair. Making that decision could be very insignificant in their development compared to making some larger decisions.
I’ve met a lot of guys who joined the community and it has only magnified their insecurities and made them more awkward people.
It all starts with making a decision to change, but joining a lair isn’t always the answer.
