Non-accountability manipulation
Some people will project an image of themselves that is innocent in every way. That same person will hold you to high standards they don’t hold themselves to and manipulate conversations to keep accountability on you and away from themselves. Don’t make excuses for them or give them the benefit of the doubt when they…
Do this to avoid being taken advantage of and become a better person.
Instead of fixing others, problems fix them in yourself. If you see a flaw in someone instead of trying to fix them see if you have some of that flaw in yourself and work on fixing it. Maybe someone will see how well you handle something and be inspired to make that change in themselves.…
“I know you’re full of snakes and we’ll play anyway.” Jordan Peterson
What a brilliant statement from Jordan Peterson. I was inspired by this statement to make my own, people are made of sugar, spice, and judgment. You can’t escape people but don’t let them fool you and don’t hide from the world, just be careful not to say too much.
The real self-help guru is you.
(Not financial or life advice) Goggins shared some golden advice on the Joe Rogan podcast #1906 on Dec 6, 2022. Hearing someone be honest and get to the point was refreshing. So many of these self-help gurus give you conservative advice, so it’s hard to say they are wrong and challenge them. The core of…
A foolish man will blame you for taking his foolish advice.
I was listening to a summary of “The Way of Monkey Book” and I thought I’ve experienced this a few times. This is also relevant I forgot where I first heard it and it’s paraphrased, “people carry their own trash and they will sling it on you and say you stink.”
An Alpha and a Gentleman
I’ve been hearing the word Alpha used incorrectly to explain a high-value man more and more every year. What’s disturbing is how often I hear it used to manipulate men to do what someone else wants. Being an Alpha doesn’t mean you are a good man, or you are supportive of your woman, all it…
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder
Not medical advice. Therapies that tell the survivor their problem is in the mind and even to take ownership of what happened to them have their place. I believe in taking ownership but that isn’t a cure-all for everyone. I imagine that telling survivors their problem is in their mind brings them shame that was…
Lessons from dogs and dog trainers.
A dog trainer develops communication skills by paying close attention to another species and learning to communicate with it. I have met dog trainers with excellent interpersonal skills and the customers of the dog trainers really appreciate finding the trainer easy to talk to. The trainer in a way is a translater between a person’s…
You have to be part of your own rescue.
I was talking to a friend looking for ways to improve my interactions with people and told him about the times I tried to save negative people but they just took from me without changing for the better at all and he said they gotta participate in their own rescue. When I asked him if…
What you feed your mind becomes reality.
Recently I asked a man who’s younger than me how he has consistently been able to work 100 hours a week year after year. I wasn’t looking to copy his lifestyle and work 100 hours a week myself but I saw something in him and I wanted to learn from him. I listened to a…
