3 Things I learned From Leonard Nimoy

3 Things I learned From Leonard Nimoy

It’s always hard to talk about someone in the past tense, especially when it comes to a rare gem like Leonard Nimoy. Although I’m not a hardcore sci-fi fan, I’ve always thought of him as a guy who embodied Alpha Male traits.

3 Things I learned From Leonard Nimoy

I could go on and on about how Nimoy lived long and prospered to the fullest, but here are some of his qualities that struck me the most:

#1: He Was Always On Top His Game

You might think of Nimoy as just “the guy with the pointy ears from that show”, but he started his acting career even before he was 10 years old. I don’t know a whole lot of other men with THAT kind of dedication.

When he played Spock during the original Star Trek series, Nimoy was in character almost the WHOLE week. He only had a short break on Sunday, and would be back on the clock the next day.

You’ll Hate What I Think About Valentine’s Day

Apparently the authors of this article are psychic, mainly because they summarized everything I hate about “romantic” ideas into a single blog post.

As the spot-on article put it, “seemingly beautiful expressions of love are downright disturbing when you take a step back and consider them with an objective eye.”

Sorry to break it to you fellas, but real life ain’t the same as the movies. Not even close.

Go through that list, and really ask yourself if pulling those stunts won’t get you arrested or brand yourself as a desperate, try-hard creep.

And it’s not just Hollywood that’s feeding us with the belief that doing crazy stuff will earn us a “Boyfriend of the Year” award.

I’m talking about the insidious “holiday” on the 14th of February. If you’re a reasonable, well-adjusted guy, you’d have enough sense to know you’re supposed to be romantic on a fairly REGULAR BASIS with your lady.

If you’re feeling the pressure to do something over-the-top on Valentine’s Day, let me offer you a little perspective on this “special” occasion.

Consider this: cramming all your efforts into a desperate, Hail Mary-esque, one-shot deal doesn’t exactly make for a healthy relationship.

Believe me, I’m not …

How I Hacked My Brain and Boosted My Self-Confidence

I wasn’t always good with women. In fact, the thought of walking up to a woman and getting her interested in me was absolutely TERRIFYING.

It felt like there was just too much riding on a conversation. I thought to myself, “Oh man, if she knew how insecure I really am, I’m screwed.” Even back then, I knew that women could sniff out the SMALLEST hint of weakness.

And so my brain always worked overtime, coming up with the worst possible case scenarios that haven’t even happened yet. With all that stuff going on in my head, I couldn’t keep my emotions in check.

Consequently, my neediness showed every time, destroying my social value with women. It was a BRUTAL cycle – failing with women, feeling bad about myself, and doing even WORSE the next time.

Sounds familiar?

Win With Women

You’ve probably experienced this too. Maybe the anxiety got to you so much that you ended up as a nervous, tongue-tied version of yourself who couldn’t string a couple of sentences together.

I know how much that sucks because I used to suffer from the following:

  • Wasting countless opportunities to meet women because I was TOO SCARED to try
  • Pushing women away
