Success is 100% in my life.
I believe it. I’ve been waking up and thinking that as one of the first thoughts of the day more and more often. Now it’s just a matter of how long it will take. I’m going to keep shortening the duration.
Now that said, the path I’m going to take to get there may not be the most conventional. I’ve been known to take the “3rd way” through a few things and that’s going to continue. Some people aren’t a fan of it, though. Can I fully blame them, though, when the system is so bent on indoctrination and conformity?
Just today my parents were suggesting once again that I get an MBA because of a lot of things. Because of the idea that I’ll go into management later (don’t want to). Or how apparently all the girls will have masters/PhDs and that they wouldn’t want a guy who has just a Bachelor’s (…I don’t think so, for several reasons here). I won’t like working in software forever. Funny stuff like this.
Honestly though, I get it. They’ve heard and seen of the stereotypical progression in career. First someone joins as one of the people doing the real work, then work their way up and eventually get promoted to manager. At one point, I thought that this was what I’d do as well. But when someone would ask me why I’d do that, all I could say is, “because that’s what people seem to do.” I’m not even joking. However, I currently don’t think that’s a likely path now. I’d rather become so good at my craft that I get paid very well for it and I don’t have to be stressed about it.
So today I stood my ground and explained to them why I don’t feel their suggested path is one that I resonate with. At the end of it all, my mom appeared to be a bit resigned about it, though at the same time she said that she was fine with me doing what makes me happy. I don’t expect this to be the final conversation because it’s been an ongoing conversation for years (partly because I let it be so with the way I presented myself in earlier conversations), but this time I’m a bit more fired up.
I make quite a bit of money. No doubt about that. I’m not one to like sharing details about my wealth, but I feel that it’s worth pointing out my current position here (as you fellow readers would like to know where I am in life 
) to reinforce my point. When I joined SC, I was already in the position to easily purchase every title on the site in one paycheck and still have leftovers. And in my current position I could even buy every module on the Q store without it posing a problem to my bottom line the next day (though I’d really be scratching my head at why I would do such a thing).
I’m not stagnant in my career, either. I got promoted once since joining, and I’m working towards that second one. You better believe I’m not sitting around coasting by. At the same time, I’m thinking of alternate income streams. Ideally I’d make the right kinds of investments (currently loading the boat on this crypto bear market or “correction” as some optimistic people like to say) and trades. In addition I would also like to capitalize on the social media page I have going for stuff related to food. You know. All these avenues where I don’t necessarily have to talk to that many people (I’ve managed to even keep myself anonymous on the social media page).
That’s funny when I say I’d like to avoid people, when I think about it. It’s despite the great improvements I’ve had in clarity of communication as well as improved social skills and progress (that I’m fully acknowledging I’ve made) over the years that I still say this. Sometimes I wonder if I’m even serious anymore, because I first said that many years ago when I was quite a different person. To be honest, I’ve come to enjoy hangouts much more. In fact I plan more of them now (such as the one I just made today for one on Friday evening). So what do I mean, really? I just mean that I’d like to live my life in peace.
That’s what some of this stuff about toughening up has been about. I have to stand my own ground. I had to, and will continue to have to, develop that social expertise that has funnily enough made people like my parents think I should become a manager. I’ve had to, not so that I become a manager of products or people but rather become a manager of my own reality.
I’ve had to, so that I don’t get crushed by the strong force of normality and conformity. When fitting in means accepting the mediocrity of the populace, it is not the right thing for me to do for me. I’m going to continue to carve out my own path. And why wouldn’t I, when there are so many great powers and tools at my disposal?
Let's go over some of the tools that can help me out here.
- Dragon Reborn, which has done so much for me in my character and ability to succeed.
- Heartsong, which will help me find the perfect person to be in a long-term relationship with.
- Inner Circle, which will surround me with the right people.
- Khan, which shall transform me into the dominant person I aim to be.
- PCC, so that I don’t get sucked into other people’s madness.
- R.I.C.H. Nuff said.
- A whole variety of modules that will up the ante even more.
- My manifestation powers which I have reaffirmed are working very well.
I do see a sort of irony in that a lot of these things are socially related, but remember—it’s because I want this whole thing to be of something I can automatically succeed in, without having to fight so hard for it.
I’m going to prove them wrong. I’m going to prove all them wrong. I’ve got too much on my side. Hell, once I become R.I.C.H. I may even pay off my parents’ house and make it so that they don’t have to work anymore.
Going to continue manifesting. Let’s take out that journal again, shall we?
