I'll make sure I'm the most important person in my life!
You're good, girl! Come on man.

"Are you ready to succeed?" a book I read.

I read this in a book! Haha kinda copying and pasting.
It's so damnnn hard sometimes but I learnt about the alternate reality
Concept instead of what negatives people usually think about. When you start letting less than
Positive things creep in, you go mad you know. Don't EVER, EVER, let anyone or any stranger
Creep into your life like that. One question, have you always felt that you were in control and have the
Ability to be happy? Most people might possibly say yes. Another question, have you ever felt such
Deep-Seeted anger against people who scream, rail at you, 'bad' employers, horrid partners, horrid friends, strangers etc and
Felt rising anger? Guess what. What I learnt was that you just let your ability to be happy and successful fall into
The hands of the wrong person. And people get stunned. No.

You choose it. People have false concepts or perhaps not entirely false concepts but they do have these notions engrained in their minds.

What if I told you that you are living in a 'dreamworld'? Everything you strongly believed in is all a construct.

Like how they believe, okay for example. (JUST an example)
1) guys love sexy women with no brains.
2) Models are damn arrogant and people roll eyes at them
3) smart people have no life.
4) only guys should propose.

Okay whatever. I just gave you some
Examples in life. True? What do you think? Maybe. That's the thing.
These are the ''Mental Models' that are given to us, FED to us like spoonfed milk to babies through advertisements, books, magazines.
Okay, so who told you that love is perfect when you start kissing in the sunkissed wind at a beautiful floral beach? TV.
Who told you that and what made you think that men love dumb women? The TV told you.

There are so many 'mental models' that are given to us, fed to us like poison.
But guess what, it's up to us to change that.

Basically, okay just imagine. You're out on a perfect, oh whatever you call that. Wonderful date? There is this stunning woman with gorgeous dark locks and a slim, curvaceous body. She is THE woman of YOUR dreams. First of all, why do YOU even have that idea that this lady is the one? Something told you. Your past experiences, your friends, those movies you watched. And then you bring her on a date to a chic place and she becomes your girlfriend. This works out, so your kind tells you this 'mental Model' works. And you try it on the next person, and it works again! But guess what, this might have happened due to the mental models you have had. Have you ever considered the fact that she fell for you due to the nice way you spoke to her? Or perhaps, she was fond of your
Meticulous ways or simply enjoys fine dining.

NOW, imagine that you bring the same Stunning, curvaceous girl to the same restaurant and she hated it. He would then imagine that this 'mental model' did not work. He would feel that this set of beliefs are gone. You might feel, hah, beautiful girls are such loose people and when this happens with the next girl, you would feel the same way. Guess what? 'Mental
model' again. Your mind constructs this.
If you meet another beautiful girl who gets together with you for a long time, this ''mental model' is gone. So guess what? Your 'mental model' has changed!

This means SOMETHING. The 'reality' and the 'dreamworld' we have so painstakingly constructed is in fact just a CONSTRUCT. It is not real. It's a construct. Like how okay. Another example. This is what they gave in the book. Imagine you hate dancing, but the guy you like
Is a hip-hop dancer, so you learn dancing and somehow you start to LOVE hip-hop. Or
Maybe you hate the movies, but your partner loves
It and somehow you end up liking it as well. Did you notice something? Your ''mental model' has changed again.
There is no specific 'reality'.

Which is why, have no expectations and when something unexpected happens, you become happier than usual. (:

Yup I know there are so many things that make me not as happy, but I wanna succeed,
I wanna make things right, make things good.
And there's so much stuff.
And love. We'll make that work.
Sometimes I can give up so much and all of us do,
We just do our best and that's it.
100% or nothing at all. That's good. Sometimes something is better than nothing.
