10/14/2013 1:32:22 PM Posted: 4 years ago Eat healthy. Exercise. Look, smell, and act presentable. Form a healthy sleep habit. Organize and Plan. Put work before play. Be on time. Do what you say you're going to do. Finish what you start. Use manners appropriate to your audience. Anchor yourself to something familiar to your audience. Successful people form the habit of doing things unsuccessful people aren't willing to do. Look at your behavior; look at your goals; do they match? Don't ratchet down your goals, ratchet up your behavior. You don't get what you want; you get what you picture; Picture->Expectation->Result. Smile. Speak slowly and clearly with good eye contact. Acting and appearing confident, assertive, and friendly is 90% of the battle. Use your environment to your advantage. Expand your comfort zone. Use a catch phrase to push yourself; mine is "Don't be a little b!tch." Don't try to do everything yourself; ask for help from a knowledgable person, it saves time. Start fast, end slow. Set concrete goals for yourself with arbitrary deadlines. Use psychology to your advantage. Knowledge is power; research and read to help yourself accomplish anything. It is not your resources that determine the outcome, but your resourcefulness.

Since then I've run a business, lost my virginity, become better with girls, given more of myself in relationships with family and friends, become more cemented in my identity, and become a friendly, helpful guy.

I'm in agreement with your premise that the reader should be among the central concerns for any writer, but even if he is writing this for himself, if only as a reminder of what to do and not to do, I see nothing wrong with it if it reinforces his apparently already manifest piety. I find that I do that as well... although in a different way. Sometimes when I've made a mistake, or trying to reaffirm my own dedication to an idea, I'll repeat the message to myself as if to remind myself of what I should or should not be doing. It's a worthwhile enterprise, insomuch as the written word does, in a way, have the capacity to make tangible the abstract ideals we measure ourselves by. |

10/14/2013 10:05:06 PM Posted: 4 years ago Ike, this is by far my favorite self-development principle. It's called the "Do Something" Principle [http://markmanson.net...]. Read it and tell me your thoughts. It's terse and cogent, no problemo.
