Being Mega Successful

On June 13, 2011 by Shark

There’s something that separates the super successful and the pleasantly successful, the mPUAs and the PUAs, the strong-hearted and the lion-hearted in the world; the ability to overcome Plateaus.

I don’t mean to reduce the difference between the two breeds of men into one superfluous statement, but I find it necessary to implore the significance of what I just said. The normal shit has already been covered. There are thousands of books about “HOW NOT TO BE A FAILURE” and “HOW TO NOT BE THE 70 YEAR OLD VIRGIN” But that stage is far behind most of us. We already have an idea, or a business, or a job, or some game, or something good going for us. We haven’t “lost” in life — we’ve just lost MOMENTUM.

Inevitably at one point in your endeavors, things will slow down. This specific type of obstacle is surprisingly MORE dangerous than the ones you faced before because you AREN’T desperate. You’re already on your feet; you aren’t backed against a wall. That animalistic motivation you had has decayed, and the relentless pace at which you pursued your goals has subsided into a timed stroll. You’re not poor as shit, you’re not dying; you’re not starting from “scratch,” so the amount of drive you have isn’t as high as it used to be.

It’s a test we all face in life, and it’s ingeniously constructed. It’s an easy way to spot the creme de la crop among men because all the pussies will rush to settle for less.

But of course, the question of plateaus doesn’t concern US right? This article is just to acknowledge that they exist and that they stop OTHER people from succeeding. Luckily, WE are not OTHER people; we’re all fucking animals here. We know that when things seem to slow down out of nowhere, we just need to push harder out of nowhere. Thank God.

If you’re not at a plateau in life, save this article and read it when you are. I promise a time will come when you’re glad you did. All of you will be asking the same question at that moment, and i’ll answer it: Yes, this is normal. Yes, it’s beatable. No, you cannot just “keep on going,” You need to go harder.

 

“If you want to break the table during your business negotiations, with your bare hands, don’t aim for the table, aim for the floor underneath. Always push yourself beyond your limits.”

    Shark, I’m 17 and I’ve been reading your posts for a couple months now, and I must say the shit you teach about game is fucking genius, and it all makes sense when you open your eyes and stop feeding in to the social barriers that we ate conditioned with since childhood, I’m really curious as to how you learned all this? It’s just fucking mind-blowing

    Hey Shark, I used to practice Muay Thai, and our instructor always told us to punch through our targets (imagine your fist going through their head). The quote at the end reminded me of what he taught us, always go further than just the goal if you want to be successful.

    Dear Shark, I’ve read almost all of your posts and lets not lie here, it’s genius. plain and simple. According to, ‘Being Mega Successful’ article, you said, “We know that when things seem to slow down out of nowhere, we just need to push harder out of nowhere. Thank God.” Where do we get the motivation to push harder out of nowhere?
