Your Experience When You Go Out is Based on What You Focus on

Published by Stefan on February 22, 2009 in Articles, Dating & Relationships and Self Improvement. 1 Comment

This is something that I recently learned that really made sense to me.

When you go out, say to a nightclub, a party, or whatever it may be — your entire experience of that event is 100% based upon what you focus on.

There are only so many things we can consciously focus on at once.

For example, right now you’re probably not focusing on your heart beat, or the many sounds in the room that you’re in, or perhaps certain pain your body may be in (just recently had my wisdom teeth removed ;).  There are literally THOUSANDS of things you can focus on right now, besides reading this article on your computer (different objects in your environment, feelings, sounds, etc…).

In the same way, when you go out to a night club, there are thousands of things to focus on as well.

If you begin focusing on everyone sitting around, being bored, not having fun, the fact the club is empty, etc… then you’re going to leave that place and your experience of it was going to be “boring”.  

If you begin focusing on how much fun people are having, how great the music is, how there are so many cool things going on at once, how much fun you’re having, etc… then you’re going to leave that place and your experience may be “fun”.

Knowledge is not enough… Action is the Ultimate Power

Published by Stefan on February 19, 2009 in Articles, Motivation and Self Improvement. 1 Comment

This is something that took me a long time to understand.

I used to spend countless hours learning and gaining knowledge.   I thought more knowledge and information would make me more successful and happier.  Not the case.  Unfortunately, this is how most of society operates.

If this was the case, then everybody with a PHD would be successful.

What separates the most successful from the rest, is not that they’re more intelligent or smarter… it’s because they stepped up and took action!

Our ability to make decisions and take action is something that everyone is capable of.  You don’t need resources or money or more time than anyone else… all you need to do are take the actions necessary to get to where you want to be.

People think that you need to learn as much as possible about a subject before you take action on it — WRONG!  This is not the case… however, knowing a lot about it can help, it is also hindering you from achieving the success that you want.

Men think that learning as much as possible about meeting women and relationships is going to make them successful in this area… WRONG!  I can’t tell you how many guys I know that know so much about meeting women and all the theory and tactics… but still suck at it and can’t get a girlfriend if they wanted to.

We are not short of information.  The information is there and always will be.  We live in an information age.  What is lacking, is our ability to make decisions and take action towards our goals.  

Forget learning more… you know enough!  Don’t get caught up in the trap of constantly going to seminars, reading books, going to classes, etc… as long as it’s not holding you from acting on what you need to do.

Yes, I still see a ton of value in learning and reading and all that jazz.  In fact, I do that constantly.  However, it’s your ability to take what you learn and practice and apply it that will make you successful and achieve the goals that you want.

Ask yourself… what actions can you take today that will make you closer to achieving what you want?

It isn’t learning more about health and fitness… it’s going to the gym!

It isn’t learning more about meeting women and dating… it’s going out and approaching 12 women!

Hopefully this post will call some people to action!
