The successful man sees an opportunity, seizes upon it and moves upward another rung on the ladder of success. It never occurs to him that he may fail. He sees only the opportunity, he envisions what he can do with it and all the forces within and without him combine to help him win.
The unsuccessful man sees the same opportunity, he wishes that he could take advantage of it, but he is fearful that his ability or his money or his credit may not be equal to the task. He is like a timid bather, putting in one foot and then drawing it swiftly back again - while he hesitates some bolder spirit dashes in and beats him to the goal.
Remember this distinction when you 'feel too scared' to go for that surgery and try and understand your fear has been LEARNED. It's not you. Unlearn.
Because what you don't realise boyos is that it's actually much easier than you think to be successful and brave, it's only that you hold that belief that it is hard, that is an endless grind, that ‘most people fail’, those beliefs come to manifest into your life.
The first step to being successful and lower in inhibition is to curate the beliefs that everything will work out and succeed. To act with zero fucks given to the nagging voice in your head (the internal beta) that expresses fear to you. When we change an internal belief, we begin to see our external environment for what it really is and change and accomodate.
Nearly every man can look back - and not so far back either with must of us - and say, 'If I had taken that chance, I would be much better off now.' The biggest risk is never taking a chance.
When Frank A. Vanderlip, former President of the National City Bank, was a struggling youngster, he asked a successful friend what one thing he would urge a young man to do who was anxious to make his way in the world and the bhenchod replied; "Look as though you have already succeeded"
Shakespeare expresses the same thought in another way - “Assume a virtue if you have it not." Look the part. Dress the part. Act the part. Be successful in your own thought first. It won't be long before you will be successful before the world as well.
This of course as we all know involves being good looking. So if you have that chance to upgrade your face through surgical means, do it! If women out there have the kahunas to go under the knife while in a deep state of sleep, so can fucking you.
It is counterintuitive to think that belief comes before success! But it does. FIX YOUR MIND, THEN FIX YOUR FACE.
