Alright, I f*^ked up! I’m not perfect. I was 5-2. 5-2, and I lost my fantasy game too because I tried to maneuver some roster moves that backfired.
Was I angry with myself yesterday during the Colts game? Well it took me a massage, but I got over it.
So, recently I f^*ked up. Today’s blog is going to show you how to f^*k up and enjoy it. Also, be sure to check out the amazing video at the end of this blog that will show you how to transition to sex.
So you f*^ked up. What are you going to do about it?
So many people look back at their “fu^*ked up” childhood and think, “This is the reason I’m allowed to be crazy” or “This is the reason why everyone hates me.”
While there is no doubt that we are programmed by our parents, as adults our f^*k ups are totally on us. It’s all a matter of taking responsibility for your actions.
The truth is that as long as you’re living, you are going to f^*k up. If you are putting yourself out there in life — trying new things, trying to grow as a person and trying to succeed in life — then you are going to f^*k up. It’s going to happen. Period.
The people who succeed in life are those who can admit when they f^*k up and will say to themselves, “Let me learn from this lesson and move forward.” What most people do, however, is play what I like to call “the f^*k up card.”
People allow bad behaviors and choices to continue because they don’t learn their lesson. They will say, “That’s just me. I always f^*k up.”
If you always f^*k up, why don’t you learn from it and move forward? Why don’t you just accept that you f^*ked up and learn a lesson from it?
Winners f^*k up every day, but they actually move forward and learn from them. How many times do you need to same lesson to be put in front of you before you will finally get it?
You need to understand that it’s not making a mistake that is the important thing, but what lesson you learn from it. It’s the changes you make based on the lessons you learn. That is what the real difference is between the winners and f^*k ups in life.
It’s Saturday and as I was leaving this morning to go speak, I was thinking that I still need to give all of you my lead pipe, surefire football picks for this week. I do have my 3-0 record at stake here after all.
So for tomorrow, I like the Ravens and the Giants not only to win — but to crush their opponents. Tomorrow will also be the day that the Lions finally win a game. The Redskins have shown nothing so far, and the Lions are due.
On to today’s blog, and it’s a good one . . .
This blog today comes right from my heart. The wisest person in life is not the one who knows everything. Sure, that person is pretty damn wise, but only if that person has actually experienced everything he or she knows.
There are a lot of “Mr. Humble” people out there. You know who that person is, don’t you? He’s that guy who who is NEVER humble?
He is the one who always has something to say about everything. He thinks he knows about everything even though he’s never experienced half of the things about which he talks.
The wisest people are those who can shut the hell up when something new and unknown comes into their life. “Mr. Humble,” on the other hand, is always feeling like he needs to contribute something to the conversation even if he knows nothing about it.
I know when something comes up in a conversation with which I’m not familiar, that I sit back and listen. I don’t let my ego get in the way. If the conversation is going in a direction that I’m unfamiliar with and I can’t control, I just kick back and listen. As I listen, I’m learning.
Life is a series of repeated experiences. Two weeks after that conversation where I kicked back and listened, I might find myself in another conversation about that same topic about which I previously knew nothing.
Because I sat back and listened the first time, I’m now able to contribute. By contributing to this new conversation, I earn respect and I learn even more about the topic.
People often over-talk because they think that people will respect them more if they have a lot to say. People, however, actually respect you less if you over-talk. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s okay to sit back and listen.
The quiet, silent types are the ones who are always listening and learning. We all know people who will always contribute to the conversation, regardless of if they know about the topic or not.
It’s their ego talking. Their ego wants them to be the wisest person in the conversation. In reality, though, the wisest people I know talk half of the time, and listen the rest.
I am about to start a Bootcamp with some great guys, and I had these thoughts I wanted to share with you.
Do you want to “get lucky?” Do you REALLY want to “get lucky” this weekend?
Do you want to go out and hook up with a sexy, great looking stranger? Do you want to meet someone and have incredible stranger sex . . . and then wake up the next morning and do it all over again before sending them home in the afternoon?
When something like that happens, do you always wonder how it happened? Do you think to yourself “How the hell did I get lucky?”
What is the definition of luck anyway? Here is the definition of luck: Luck is being in the right place at the right time.
The only way to “get lucky,” i.e., be in the right place at the right time, is to prepare yourself for opportunities that will present themselves. You need to prepare yourself to take advantage when the time is right.
If you’re going to spend your life waiting for luck to show up, you might as well stop working and just play the lottery. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t believe in luck.
I believe in making things happen. I believe in preparing for things to happen.
The reason why I have such great relationships and great friends in my life is because I’ve worked my ass off to get them! I’ve worked really hard at cultivating the life I have.
I’ve cultivated my friendships.
I’ve cultivated my business.
I’ve cultivated my relationships with my lovers.
I have never relied on luck. I didn’t just walk into a supermarket and hope that I would trip into the woman I want to meet. I walk into the supermarket knowing how to connect with every person in there, so that I can create my own future.
Too many of you just sit back and wish for luck to sweep in and change your life. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone tell me some version of this: “I really want to do a bootcamp, but I’m going to have to do it next year.”
Do you know why they say they are going to wait until next year to do a bootcamp? They say that because they are hoping that between now and then their luck is going to change.
Many people tell me that they want to buy my products, but they are going to wait until next month to do it. They too are hoping that their luck is going to change before that “next month” time arrives.
Let me tell you the truth: Your luck is never going to change! You need to create your own luck. You need to make things happen for yourself.
I’m tired of all the excuses that people make. I get so tired of hearing them.
I get so tired of hearing “David, If you answer this one question, my entire life is going to change!” You know what? No it won’t.
If I answer one question, SOME things may change or you may get clarity on a certain issue. What will likely result from me answering one question for you is that the answer will probably lead to ten more questions!
The bottom line is that your entire life is not going to change by me answering one question for you. I don’t have the power to change your life with one email. No one does.
In one email, I might be able to give you a great explanation of why something happens or I might be able to open your eyes just a little bit wider. In one email, however, I am not going to be able to change your entire life.
The only way you are going to change your entire life is to take control of it. You have to be proactive and do things to change your life.
The only thing that creates change is hard work every single day. You’re basically like your own country. You need to take control of your own destiny. If you’re not willing to put the work in every single day, then nothing is ever going to change.
No person will ever be able to change your life for you . . . except for you. So take control of your life. It’s time to stop waiting for Lady Luck to come and take over your life!
Men tend to be very outcome dependent. Many men approach women with one goal in mind: to get their phone number. Such men think if they approach a woman, they must get her phone number in order for that approach to have been successful. These men, in fact, will base their entire assessment of an encounter on whether a woman gives them her phone number. This type of mindset is what I’m referring to when I talk about outcome dependence. (more…)
Let’s talk about another kind of relationship right now: what is your relationship with money?
This should be one of your best and most well managed relationships.
What is your relationship with money?
Let me share with you what my relationship with money used to be. Growing up in my household, money was doled out when we were being good. You went to Grandma Frankie’s house, and if you were a good grandson, you’d leave with a couple of hundred bucks for a pair of new sneakers. (more…)
I was just reading Men’s Health magazine and there is an article on Barack Obama our next President. Whether you are for him or against him – I don’t really care.
I’m not here to tell you who I voted for yesterday because the last time I decided to talk about politics in the blog I got shit for two days afterwards. And all I was asking is who’d you prefer to date, Obama or McCain? (more…)
Do you really wish that there were a shortcut in life for everything?
The other day someone told me that he wanted to get into my business after he listened to me talk about how I struggled for the first few years of my career. He told me he wanted to get into the business, and I asked him why.
He answered, “because I need to make money.” This is hardly the business to get into if you want to make money. You’re a nobody. What’s your platform? What do you stand for? Who are you?
That’s the funny thing about it – so many of us are all about instant gratification. You need to make money right away? Are you that short on cash? Well, get a job! Rob a bank! (more…)
