If you don’t brainwash yourself, someone else will do it.
In this society, it is impossible to escape from retail segmentation.
Companies buy your data packets to know what you do, where you go, and your tastes; they offer you their products and services.
You may think advertisement doesn’t work.
Wrong! It does work.
In the 20th century, it took seven advertising impacts for you to buy something, and now, in the 21st century, it takes 1,000, 10,000, or 100,000 advertising impacts.
But in the twentieth century, advertising reached you mainly through TV, radio, mailbox, and billboards.
In the twenty-first century, it’s everywhere: on every web page you enter, in every app you download, and in every YouTube video you watch.
Yes, we’re screwed.
But you can use the same conditioning tools brands use to seduce you to improve your life.
How? By using these two brainwashed.
1. Brainwash yourself to love yourself.
Surely you’ve wondered, “Why do I always end up with people who don’t value me?”
Well, because you don’t value yourself.
Does it hurt? The truth often hurts, but it also heals.
I grew up being the ugly duckling, the kid everyone made fun of, the son of the single mom. The hick, who everyone expected, would end up living in a camper van and buying food with coupons.
And I believed it.
I believed it and turned my life into a f*cking hell that was hard to escape because any good person who approached me to offer help was viewed with suspicion.
I was like a beaten dog who doesn’t trust anyone who gives him something to eat.
But I discovered you couldn’t care for yourself and hate yourself simultaneously.
So, I started taking care of myself in small ways,
- I started being patient with my screw-ups.
- I started consoling myself when something went wrong.
- I started giving myself time off.
And in the end, my self-esteem and self-love blossomed.
2. Brainwash yourself to have your ideal life
Reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, I discovered that inherited limiting thoughts brutally condition our future.
Those beliefs were so ingrained in me that I always ended up screwing up whatever I undertook.
My mother also told me, “Look for a secure job, son; dreaming is for rich people.”
And I did.
Only the “secure job” thing today is a hoax.
Who retires in the same multinational today?
Nobody.
Therefore, the worker has no job security, and today being an employee or an entrepreneur implies the same risk.
I started thinking, “If my boss’s company doesn’t make a profit, and they fire me, who will hire me at 50?”
There I saw the wolf’s ears and started to change my limiting beliefs through suggestion.
I reminded myself daily, “What you do for someone else, you can do for yourself and be your boss.”
And today, I am my boss and pay my taxes, and I run the same risks as if I were working in a 9 to 5 job.
Application to your life
You have to wash your brain and start loving yourself more. Without self-love, no success can last. Because what you don’t build on the foundation of love ends up crumbling.
You must be aware that what another human being does, you can do too. And stop thinking that success is not for you because if you don’t make money for your boss, your boss does without you. So you are already successful (even if your boss doesn’t tell you so). — Otherwise, you would have been fired.
Why not start creating something parallel where you are the boss, and you can live the life of your dreams?
I believe in you.
A virtual hug
