CONFIDENCE – Part 3 – Boundaries

Have you ever thought about someone and realized, you always know where they stand?

They say what they mean and they follow through with what they say they will do. This is a person that elicits trust and respect from others. They are, in essence, a “No Bullshit” kind of person. If you cross them, you know what the penalty will be. And it will be swift and certain. That is because this person understands and utilizes their boundaries in a very solid and strong way, from a position of inner strength. Do you?

Has anyone ever cheated on you? Did you say that was unforgivable, yet still stay with that person after? If so, let me guess, they did it again, right? Probably.

‘Tantalize’ comes from the Greek Tantalus whom Zeus condemned for eternity to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree.

Whenever he reached for fruit, the branches rose, preventing him from satisfying his appetite. Whenever he bent down to drink, the water receded, thwarting him from quenching his thirst. Each failed attempt at attaining fruit or water increased his
desire.

The story of Tantalus resonated with the ancient Greeks because it revealed something endemic to human beings: temptation without satisfaction rouses desire in all of us.

To demonstrate this, I want you to try a little experiment: Lightly brush your fingers against your arm for a split second. I’m willing to bet you felt a slight urge to itch your arm.

Kai-zen – The Art Of Confidence With Women

Today we’ve got a special article – a guest post from my good friend Spike. Take it away, man…
The concept of “Kai Zen” is based on a Japanese philosophy of constant and never ending improvement, always learning and striving to be better. Broken down, Kai Zen literally means “constant improvement.” This is a very powerful yet simple strategy that has led the Japanese to be titans of industry and a major world power for centuries.
Well, there was that one time they went too far, but we won’t talk about that.
The idea of being a better you, in the world of business, is not new. There is an entire multi-billion dollar industry based on teaching that very thing. Many of you have spent massive amounts of money going to seminarsworkshopsjoining clubs, or simply reading books on the subject. A MAN is judged by his business prowess after all.
But do not make the mistake of thinking that business success equals self improvement.The sad truth is that most of you men will go balls out in your quest for business superiority, yet woefully neglect the very foundation for
