This made my day, no matter what its something hard to come off your own bullshit
I’ve listened to Dragon Reborn ST1 (QV2) 2-3 times with no noticeable effects.
Today I’m listening and I noticed that my thoughts keep cycling back to times people have given me shit for leaving the Navy at 11 years instead of doing the full 20. (“Only 9 more years,” they say)
More so recently, my dad has been asking me if there’s stuff I miss about being in the military.
I’m like “Not really”
“C’mon, there’s gotta be SOMETHING you miss about it”
and I said “Maybe a few things but nothing I can’t find/get on the outside”
he tried living the military life vicariously through me
he tried to get in but couldn’t because of his vision
he was upset when I left after 11 years
“Only 9 years left to go!”
and I said “You do it”
I remember at my customer service job where this old guy and I got talking about military stuff
he got out early like me
i.e. not the full 20
he said “You’ll regret leaving before you 20”
and I said “I won’t”
“Yes you will”
Me: “Nah. I’m good”
Him: “Nah, you will regret it”
Me: “It’s been nearly 10 years and I don’t. I’m fine”
pisses me off people like that who project their own shortcomings onto me
this old dude was literally arguing with me
“You’ll miss the pension you could’ve had”
and I said “I can make more than that now”
I can’t imagine what DR ST1 V1 would do do me. Kinda glad I waited to get DR until after V2 was out
Sounds like you have some resentment stored up about people telling you how to live your life. When that happens, do you see yourself responding in a different way than you actually did?
Not as far as I know. The above is how I usually respond lol.
I do hate people thinking they knew better than me about my life.
You and me both.
Don’t we all? Your experience of getting out of the military sounds almost on par with mine. Everyone I worked with in the military treated me different when I said I was getting out. I had just made Staff Sergeant and all I heard constantly was that I’m throwing away an amazing opportunity. Even family and friends got onto me about it. I was like but I’m the one in it and it sucks!
Now I’m doing the same job as a civilian making 3x what I made in the military and don’t have to deal with any BS. After reading your posts and others about DR it makes me terrified to try it. I was treated terribly at my first base for 3 and a half years. I don’t think I’m ready to have DR bring that all back to the surface.
Memonto Mori bro
Sounds like DR is working.
I just got BILLionaire V2. I fucking love SubClub!
been drinking tonight. and smoked 2 cigars, nicotine high AND crown buzz. this shoulb de fun
what kind of cigars did you smoke?
swisher perfecytos. not the greatest but great for me budget ARRRR matey
Listened to a different kind of stack in bed last night…
Dream: I’m a tiny kid in a big place. on a field trip with my “older brother” and he’s a dick.
I am basically as smart as an adult but he keeps treating me like I’m a burden.
I keep wanting to go see the actual field trip stuff but he tells me to sit there and shut up.
I finally dig out the forms for field trip authorization and walk off.
but the butthead finds me and keeps taking me back to the waiting room.
He says “You do what I say!”
the whole dream is me feeling “trapped” by this “authority figure” who is my “brother”
and it pisses me off more and more.
EDIT: I remembered more after I posted the above.
At some point, I tell him “I am here for the field trip! I will keep trying to go so you better not take your eyes off me even for a second!”
He eventually softens up and takes me to this desk and we give the forms over to the guy at the desk. He says “How will you be paying for admission? Card? Cash?”
And I say “It’s a school field trip. The school is paying for it already.”
He suddenly becomes very belligerent and yells “You should have thought of that before giving me the forms!”
He says we gotta pay to get the forms back and I said “No way! I’m gonna go talk to someone about you!”
He reluctantly gives me the forms back and points out the different desk I need to go to for processing the “free” authorizations for the school field trip.
My “brother” by this point is 100% on my side and being nice to me, taking me where I need to go.
So I haven’t run DR1 every day or anything yet. I think I may be taking that up soon.
The last time I ran DR1 was 2-3 days ago. After running it, I started thinking about a time 3 years ago when I nearly got fired from my job for something I was falsely accused of. Managers saying I was intentionally doing shit to “pad my metrics.”
Long story short, I’d recorded a hypnosis recording for myself to help me identify and implement behaviors to improve my call metrics, as my call times were way longer than what the Galactic Overlords thought reasonable. Nevermind that I had THE highest CSAT (Customer Satisfaction rating) on my entire team.
I’d done a similar recorded hypnosis approach at a previous customer service job where I was perpetually in the bottom 2-3 on a team of 25-30 people. I recorded hypnosis sessions and within 2-3 days of listening to them, my metrics show way up as I was unconsciously implementing whatever behavioral changes on calls led to it.
When that months’ metrics came out, I was #2 or #3 and stayed anywhere in the top 1-3 from there on out until I left the company when I moved out of the state.
Anyway, back to my current “Employer”
I recorded similar sessions, listened. And one of the behaviors that came up for me which I implemented was that if I needed to place a customer on hold to find info for them, or needed to transfer them to another person…if it was going to be longer than about 7-8 minutes, I offered to call them back with the info or have the next person call them back.
Customers loved that, my CSAT bumped even higher…
My CSAT was also trending downward, which was helping.
My manager was impressed and pleased. Yay me
I get a call one day from my manager (ON MY DAY OFF no less) and as soon as I answer, he says “We have PROOF you’ve been manipulating your metrics. I’m disappointed in you.”
I said “You have WHAT? I’ve not been purposely trying to manipulate ANYTHING.”
“Dude, don’t lie to me. We have PROOF.”
and I ask “What supposed ‘proof’ do you think you have?”
“We can see where you’re hanging up and calling customers back so it makes for shorter times each call.”
I said “I have NOT been doing that to-”
“DUDE, STOP LYING TO ME!”
I told him “What you have are numbers on a screen. You have raw data. Do you have a column in your spreadsheet labeled ‘Worker’s Intent’?”
Anyway, that call didn’t end well. Especially as he wouldn’t let me finish a sentence at that point to explain why I’d been doing what I did.
For the next week or two, manager after manager kept “interviewing” me as part of their “Investigation.”
Turns out they tell me that someone (wouldn’t tell me who at first) had said I’d told them in chats (both at work and on FB and IG) that hanging up and calling back is a good way to pad metrics.
I flat out denied any such thing, as I never did that. The last few “Interviews” were by the same manager (Area Manager) and he kept asking me the same shit in different ways.
I finally told him “If I’m being accused of saying something of this magnitude, either tell me your source or take the answers I’m giving you and stop trying to trip me up and catch me lying.”
He was taken aback, as he realized I knew what he was doing. Dumbass.
He told me who supposedly said what I supposedly said. Bad news for him is I know this person and I trust that person’s judgment and word over any managers.
These whole 1 - 2 weeks, there’s this cloud of “You may be terminated depending on the results of the investigation.”
At the end, he says “Well, we’ll allow you to continue your employment here. Just bear in mind that if any new information comes to light, that could change the outcome.”
Basically saying “We got our eye on you.”
If I had enough money stashed at that point, or another job lined up…I’d have quit on the spot. You’re going to “ALLOW” me to continue working here? FUCK YOU.
I honestly thought I was past that shit, it’s been 3 years. But I realize now that a lot of my problems with working my hours at this job are:
- I put in the effort 3 years ago to get better at the job.
- I’m immediately called a liar and cheater.
- I was treated like shit.
Any respect I had for the company or management evaporated 3 years ago and I’ve been trying to “force myself” to work.
I need to find another job (for now until my empire is built up enough)…or I just need to get lucky and come into about $40K (enough to be work-free for a year or so) and build my empire and say fuck everybody else.
Definitely thinking I need to add Emperor back into the mix. The last time I ran Emperor religiously was Emperor V3.
I’m definitely fucking pissed off. I realized for sure I don’t WANT to make this job “work” anymore. Why bother when they obviously don’t have my back?
Something I forgot to mention:
Sometime last year, an awesome job opportunity opened up in an entirely different department.
I was about to apply for it and found out that the manager in that new position was the exact same manager who “had PROOF”. He’d switched departments a few months prior.
I instantly said “FUCK THAT” and didn’t apply. I never want to work with/for that manager ever ever again. He and and I never ever ever getting back together.
You are now experiencing the power of the Dragon.
During my first loop of DR1 today, a bit of resentment regarding my wife and out finances came up today. I won’t go into specifics here.
From one level, the resentment makes sense. But I don’t like it in any case.
Maybe this will help clear it out.
A lot of the resentment that’ll come up on DR will be stuff that you don’t like feeling or think you aren’t “supposed to” feel. It’s there anyway and the key is acknowledging that.
I hope this serves you somehow…you strike me as someone with alot of potential to grow but you are not investing enough in how others precieve you. Then also the needs of the managers and how to connect to it so you can travel up the ladder together(that is how these things go mate). Your solutions are amazing and inventive but not understood by your managers. It is costing you promotions.
In a discussion with management I always chose commonality over who is right or wrong.
Hope you get your 40k soon!!
I have zero intention of promoting or advancing. My main gripe with management (both in the stuff I mentioned already and other stuff I haven’t) is that I and my fellow advisors are being told to stop complaining about “non-issues” related to the job when we have provided visual proof of such issues and are just being ignored.
I can’t fix them, I can only fix me and escape in the process.
