A Serious Question and How to Discover Your Higher Purpose

Excellent post mate.

Do the best you can do at everything in your life, because only you can.

ps. check that Thoreau quote, i saw a spelling mistake

Well, I’m reading because I know your writings are excellent, and because opening direct like you taught on bootcamp is starting to open lots of doors for me, and because your word vomiting articles plus late-night text helped me have sex with my first club cold approach girl on Sunday. So I’d say I’m looking for tidbits that apply to me, while also supporting your writings and telling people about you in the Houston pickup community. And, I steal alot of your music ideas (although pandora has been awesome for me lately).

Brad, this post fits PERFECTLY for me right now. This is golden!
Im reading atlas shrugged at the time,
I work on the weekends to collect money so I can fly to southamerica as soon as I will graduate next year
and just decided yesterday that I go into internet marketing so I can support the travel-lifestyle I see for myself.
Im all about this vision right know, taking a quick break to look at your blog only to discover that this motivates me even more. The song gives me creeps. Im on fire

thank you!

Powerful article here. I really enjoyed the zooming out more and more bit. Gaining that larger perspective in life and piling away from ‘the little me’ in life allows us to create our lives from a deeper and more significant place. I loved it.

I absolutely love it! it make things more clear for sure…i was thinking about your question and basically my answer is that i want to live and as you said kind of helping and lead by example people regarding how awesome and fun life can be! and not living life in depression and just exist in this world like most people are living their day to day life….

but actually i’m in a big dilema right now, i’m at a point in life , that all my peer groups and friends are about to go study for degree, most of them not for the right reason…
for me i just want to live awesome and fun life which include passive income from different businesses such as IM, Stocks and real estate and having tons of fun including surfing, traveling and much more..
i’m trying to ask myself every day, how would i feel before i’m about to die if i knew i didn’t have a degree that i’ll feel smart for doing it , and to tell you the truth, i really don’t know! this is might be the biggest dilemma i had so far in my life…would be great to hear your thoughts about it !

ohh and keep with this all lifestyle,self development moving towards blog, i absolutely love it! those are new stuff i never seen before , while all the pickup articles a newbie need is really already in your archives…so people just need to implement what they read more and understand they are fucking enough to begin with….

keep the good shit going ! love your stuff!

Nice…your mind is very valuable…introspection at its finest…and you balance the exterior with the deep interior which is definitely the key…I have no doubt that you will become whatever you set out to become…or maybe you will never become whatever you ideally want to become because i guess its a never ending process…but in that case i have no doubt that you will become “more” than what most people will ever dare to dream of becoming…passion—it’s what i live for…i respect anyone who is passionate about all aspects of their life and their craft… two dope quotes i re-read recently that blow my mind to shit (this was supposedly written in a 1917 book…idk…either way dude was wayyyyy ahead of his time) …don’t know if this applies, don’t care…enjoy…”Always will I strive to be greater than I am. I must SURPASS MYSELF. In each successive act, test, encounter, thought. I will be GREATER than in the one previous. I am what I am now, but in an hour I must be MORE than I am now. In everything must I exert more power to surpass myself.”….’“From now on I vow I will try to act the part of a person TEN TIMES bigger than I am now, for by so doing, I construct greater powers in my own brain which will actually build me into such a leader. I refuse to longer be confined by the shadowy walls which heretofore have cramped me into a narrow sphere. From this day forth the word ‘limit’ is banished from my mind.”

Awesome Article Brad Thanks men

I love that you elaborate on lifestyle…all that petty bullshit guys worry about vanishes when they are coming from a place of abundance. I learned a ton of vocabulary words studying for the GRE :p — I see more in your writing than I saw on my exam haha

Cheers!

Great post, Brad. I read your articles cause I just got my degree in literature and now I’m asking myself what I can do with it. I’d love to write like you on the internet even if I would only earn 300$ a month, but my family wants that I go to medical school to study another 6-7 years. I feel really bad this period and was searching for some tips I can use to make a decision soon. Looking backwards would you make everything again and arent you afraid that in 20years you dont wanna seduce girls anymore and prefer to spent your week-ends with your wife and your kids? After you got your degree wherent you afraid of your future or that your pickup buisness could fail?

Thx man

Excellent post. Came at just the right time for me. I was asking myself these questions, but to have them fully elucidated like you just did, makes answering them even easier.

So why am I doing what I do? To remember what I am capable of, to rise to the challenge and overcome it. Not to prove to myself or anyone else that I can, but because it is there, and by doing so, not settling for the life that so many others sadly settle for.

That’s the depest motivation I can find. Thanks!

Hey Brad.

Question here. Like reading your blog. I notice a common thread in your experiences with your “success” in life and the such. I read in alot of self help books where the mention something along the lines that: Your relationship towards how well you feel about life and the things around you will determine how well you do in life.” Might not be an exact quote but you get the idea.

Generally how you feel (deserving or not) in relation to the world around you. Girls, money, friends, experiences, etc, etc. Determines your outcome of a successful life. Do you feel some of these positive experiences you have have (teaching, the mentors you’ve had, etc, etc.), had been contributed to you just feeling overall adequate/deserving/worthy of the positive experiences that seem to happen for you?

I know, a nerdy self help analytically question. Thanks for taking the time.

Yeah, just with the act of asking yourself why you are doing anything I believe that a person is way ahead of most , IF you know what your values are on an emotional rather than logical level. It’s also great that when I took the time to analyse these, they are all connected and if one of them completely shuts down then the whole thing is screwed. They all tie in to the bigger purpose of personal evolution.
It’s like with university I sometimes wonder why I take the time study, but then I know it will make me more evolved in terms of learning how to learn and building awesome social skills.
With success with women you have to know why you want it, for me, I just wanna have as much fun as possible before my mid 30s. So cold approach achieves that.
And then training, eating healthy and travelling all benefit from, as well as assist, the other values.
Loving the articles Brad, nice one

It took me awhile to read through this all because I had to keep pausing to think for so long but im glad I did… I notice that most of my progresses have been made when I get into this trance of thinking, its happend a bunch of times but only a couple like this, where each thought you know will ressonate in you. So now I have new meaning as to why Iv wanted to fill this hole inside of me for so long,

I knew I was trying to fill a void in my self that was caused by society that was recently removed but I realized through this all that the reason I truley wanted to fill the viod is because one of my values is that people should change them selves to the world and not the world to them selves, since you cant change who you are, I simply mean that one must change the way tehy act, think, live in hopes that anyone who comes into contact with them has refrence for what living really is. And iv felt this emptyness because I havent quite been developing my self enough im not taking the action I want to take and im not thinking the way I want to think. and iv been offending my own boundries and morals by doing this creating negative emotion in my self… what I need to do is relish on what im doing alredy like in tylers recent video and see reality for what it is but work towards my goals while also accepting myself.

Hey Brad,

As long as you keep posting stuff to set me on my path, it’s very probable that I keep reading it.

First and foremost I’m on this path to get laid and enjoy getting better at it. In the end, say 5 years, I want a lasting, fullfilling relationship with someone I can choose out of abundance.

Being on this path has amazing side effects, like confidence and higher social value. I think that’s why I’m addicted to it, it just makes me feel great!

Why am I here on a godforsaken Island at the moment? I need to study, to get the lifstyle I want. 4 weeks of working to get 4 weeks of awesomeness, with abundant cash.

The next time I’m doing homework, I’ll be thinking of that!

I like the value bringing mindset you have, I need to develop that. Cheers!

Wow, deep stuff.

Pretty sweet. I´ve actually been asking me the “why do i do the things i do?” question for a while now and all answers i find relate to something that have the potential of giving me a sense of fulfillment.

You´ve made this blog my favorite!

I’m actually doing an assignment for psychology class on intrinsic vs external motivation at the moment. Funny, as its very similar stuff to what you’re talking about. Intrinsic motivation involves doing something for the value it holds in itself, not because some external thing is forcing you to. Research shows that intrinsic motivation ties in with things like self esteem and self belief. Pretty interesting stuff.

P.S Talking of South Africa, I saw you did a bootcamp here a while back. Any chance you’ll be doing any more in Cape Town?

I want to acheive a similar mindset like yours where I think everyting I do is the shit.
Self belieif. A reality that is percieved as far fetched by others. I want to wash my hair with social unconditioner lol =) and break social rules and boundaries. A mindset so strong when beutiful women reject you, you assume they are so interested they have to hide it by playing hard to get with an iod.
I want to live!!

Bradley,

Nice read. I agree with you man. Life is about the mindset and the “style” in which you live. people forget about who they are and what truly motivates them. I’d say most of your readers, including myself, are trying to reinvent themselves to some degree. Or rather, we are trying to become more self aware on a daily basis.

Perhaps a topic you could think about writing on is taking action on the “why”. the motivation to actually say “this is what i love, and “this” is what im going to to about it, right now.” I feel like for me sometimes even my dreams arent good enough for me. or maybe im not good enough for my dreams?? haha.

I just think there are two steps, realizing the why (motivation), and then the follow through. that sounds obvious but i think an article on the “will to act” could go a long way.

Im diggin your reading music too. Have you ever heard of flying lotus?

GREEAAAAAAT article! And it relates to women more than people think.

Awesome awesome post man! recently i’ve been shunning away from doing anything productive, guess it turned out to be lack of motivation,
Time to get back on track Motherfucker.

I actually like the fact that ur blog is more about lifestyle than women

You taught me that by focusing on other stuff (passions) in ur life then the girls will come naturally. And that is exactly what is happening in my life these days.

Big ups!
