so yesterday in the gym the young kid who works the desk says to me "no matter what my shift, you are always in here" and we start taking about motivation and "making stuff happen"
this young guy is 18 and he has that 18 year old studly thing and I have this swag stud no limit kind of vibe when I feel like turning it on and so we started talking about cranking up energy and being open to experience
and I told him "when I lived in California and worked as an actor, if I was 'in a movie', I believed I BELONGED in this movie -- partly due to the fact that YOU HIRED ME instead of the other 10,000 wannabees who would like to be in this, so obviously I am here, I'm an actor !! -- and so you just have to 'own' that wherever you ARE, you belong there if you want to BE there"
and it was actually kind of fun telling him a little about my "past" and what it was like when I was younger -- how as a young man it was my "job" when I went out with my friends in college to walk over to a full table of women and pick up ALL of them and then my cowardly ass friends would come over later
or how as an IT executive I would take jobs that I didn't actually KNOW HOW TO DO . . . and because I had a "vibe of confidence" I could learn as I went, since most people cannot feel confident in those situations
and of course, there is my "body", my instant street cred in the gym I must have done something right "door opener"
my ability to "own" my self-confidence bought me time to learn -- and I always LEARNED what I needed to know and eventually excelled at it -- before my confidence "front" wore out
LIMITATIONS are learned . . . fear is the fuel that reinforces this "learning"
my advice to him and my advice to anyone else -- don't let people set YOUR limitations
we were talking about my age and I said "well I guess I am in pretty good shape for 61 -- not a lot of people could do this"
and he blurted out "NO ONE COULD DO IT !!"
so . . . bottom line, own your power; be a cocky swagmeister glitterlicious UNICORN
and don't buy into the "model" of what you can't do
get off your ass and own the glitter
truth, baby . . . the gospel fuckn truth
LIMITATIONS are learned . . . my advice?
learn something else :) !!
