I bet you have heard at least two of this phrases "Play hard to get", "Don't give in to quickly", "Play the long game" there are many others you've heard I'm sure. But, they are all the same and don't grasp the true concept of being the "price". The questions I'm going to ask you are simple. What have you done to be called a prize? Who the fuck are you to think that you deserve this mentality? Have you put in the work in yourself? What can you offer? Do you truly believe this?
Have you ever interacted with someone with this "sudden" mentality? it's incredibly annoying to say the least, you have to get them into your frame, get them comfortable, get a few laughs going to then allow them the space to be their true & authentic self.
I didn't mean to be harsh when I started this. What I'm trying to do is give you a foundation for this belief. Why? Cause if you're "playing hard to get". People can see that coming a mile away, human beings are smart on a social level and they don't even realize this. They call it vibes or whatever but you and I, we can see the matrix, we know the truth, what's really going on. That's why we can do something about it. First hollow beliefs shatter easily without a foundation. When you truly believe something is because in some way, you have given yourself enough proof that something is the way it is.
Playing hard to get and actually being hard to get are two incredibly different things. You think Brad Pitt when he meets someone new his "trying" or "playing it cool". Fuck no! He's being authentic, genuine, charismatic, charming, having fun, and in a way playing but in his own way. I know what you're thinking "but man I'm not Brad Pitt" you're right. You are not him and will never be him. Wanna know something else? He is not you and will never be you. This could be one of your foundations for this belief if you want. Your authenticity, no one on this God given earth could ever be you.
That is the thing, setting actual foundations for your beliefs:
Now let me tell you why I think you are the prize, I don't know you personally, I could probably never know you the way you know yourself. But what I do know is that if you're here, reading this. You're special why? You think 99% of people are trying to develop themselves into what they could really be? No. Most of them are wasting valuable time. But you're here. Cause you wanna know how to be great, how to be amazing at what you do or maybe you're just curious. Either way, you are developing into you're full potential. Let me tell you something in this world that is amazing, a person who goes for what they want, is driven, works hard, has ambitions, goals, a track record of achievements, a goddamn future made of gold. That my friend, is glorious, is amazing, is worthy of this mindset.
Next, people have done great things, have amazing talents and do not give themselves the credit they deserve. I had a friend back in the day, she was an amazing vocalist. When she sang you could hear every fluctuation of the melodies amazing, almost ear porn. She never realized it, to this day I don't know if she understand the talent she has. Regardless people underestimate the things they have done. Go back, in time a little bit. Have you done great shit? Have you done something in contribution to humanity? Did you help an old lady? Paid for someone's meal? Competed? Won? Learned? Teached? Believed in someone when no one else had? Understand your past. But warning, don't get what I call the has been Hollywood star syndrome. When you base your whole identity on past victories and achievements you become stagnant. Continue to work on your present and future.
The last one for this post; your values. Cliche' right? But hear me out, this days no one has a code they live by. Almost everyone you meet does the thing the person next to them does. Their values and beliefs fluctuate based on the collective. The thing I dare you to do is live by a set of rules no one breaks. Not you. Not your family. Not your boss. Not your girl. Not your friends, enemies etc... This will keep you grounded on yourself and you will not be another sheep on the herd. Believe me do this and no one will have to tell you to "play hard to get".
Example, this are some of my own no one breaks;
- My ambitions
- My loyalty
- Health
- Responsibility for my life and what I put into the world.
- Fun, enthusiasm for life, '"adrenaline rushes"
- Kindness and respect to those who deserve it.
- Integrity, doing shit the right way.
- Making sure a mf knows what's up, if he gets tough all of the sudden.
