Martinet's Empire

No one is actually yours The world is pretentious. No fake friends, close relatives and partners matter when it comes to the deal. Investing more than just essential into the relationship causes mental havoc. Note that everyone will leave you behind when it comes to their lives or the lives of the people that matter to them more than yours. Taking seriously their words, whether said behind your back or in front of you is only idiotic. Disregard all that fun you had and the wounds their words made. All your friends are friends because you met at the same workplace. Real friendship is different. The shallowness of your bond with a workplace friend is often visible. You do not connnect with them at a deeper level. Some people are “friend of all, but Friend of none.” They poke, they laugh, they enjoy. So just be with them, laugh, enjoy and forget. (Based on my personal circumstances; written in 2022)

Growth and ego You know if is true for you when you have put a lot intention and efforts towards a particular goal. However, be mindful of the ego boost that comes with it. Ensure that regular gratitude and the development of humility is being practiced. For who you know the ego can destroy you.

Early emotional attachment Emotional attachment with a person whom you don’t even know well is always detrimental for your mind. You don’t know what is going on their lives. You are just stuck in a perpetual and vicious cycle of thinking. What are they doing, with whom are they getting acquainted with, and other things going in their life are alien to you. This state of thinking not only creates false beliefs and skepticism, but the lack of knowledge about the other can result in arguments and non-existent doubts ultimately leading to the end of relation.

Relationships and complacency The formation of a romantic relationship, in many ways, has the ability to make the man complacent. The comfort, assurance and security that comes with relationships allow your discipline to vanish and go to nowhere. The odds of your discipline kneeling in front of the comforts of a relationship are very high. Be careful.

Unfortunately, your appearance matters more than you think it does in the physical world. There will be some people who will never initiate a talk with you just based on your appearance. You have only one thing in your arsenal: improve your appearance; because the world doesn't work the way we like it to.

Reading does wonders to your mind. It's the best form of knowledge consumption to: 1) retain information better 2) not fry your dopamine receptors 3) learn at your own pace The impact of reading a book can in fact be more than watching a video has on your mind in terms of emotional connection, depth of understanding and information retention. When you read a book at your own pace without any distractions, you actually absorb what the author is exactly trying to say. It also give you space to think and reflect what you've learnt and relate it to the data present already in your mind. So keep your phone aside, grab a book and (actually) enjoy yourself.

"I wanna get more fitter. I wanna lose fat here and her-" Yeah bro. With that great diet and routine of yours, you'll definitely become the fittest man in the world. Keep eating shit processed foods. Keep staying up late. Be glued to your phone so you may never accidentally go out to exercise. Keep drinking sugary drinks. Never drink enough water. Forget about protein, fill yourself up with trans fats. Keep watching Netflix. With this routine, you will become the fittest man on Earth.

Stress tolerance is directly linked to how much success you'll have (and the amount of money you will make). A man who can tolerate the pressure that comes up with being disciplined and ambitious towards his goal will always win the game. Therefore, cultivate tolerance for stress by willingly facing challenges and difficulties in life for they will only make you stronger.

From my personal notes: ● 30/06/22 The pleasure obtained in intercourse is a biological reward for transferring your life force. Achieving that by any other means is animalistic and foolish. That life force must be preserved for your benefit until the time to transfer it comes. It has been well said from centuries that “a man who is in control of his mind, controls the world”. The present world is full of distractions that guide the battle to defeat.

Going all in on one task is something not appreciated well by the self-improvement community online. But going all in is actually the path to mastery; instead of juggling various habits all at once it's always better to focus on one and one thing only. Sure, the other things don't need to be stopped but there must be a prime realm of work for you to do everyday. Understand this.

On meeting with failure in a pursuit, the mind wanders and becomes negative. Now, this mindset will destroy any positive thing that comes up even remotely in your mind. Understand this: The good and the bad both are two sides of the same coin. You cannot bet only on one side to your favor. Both will be there in your life randomly, even when there's a 50:50 probability.

Whenever you're happy, or feel like things are going the way you wanted them to be, there's always an anticipation created by your mind that this will not last for long and you're destined to be met with a sorrow or negative event afterwards. The mind not enjoys the truce but fears the future hostilities. The antidote to this? Realising that change is the rule of the universe. When you've experienced something good, it doesn't guarantee that the bad won't happen. Don't fear the bad, you've already championed through it multiple times in the course of your life. It has no power but only that of novelty over you.

Be a source of pleasure Every person is tired of the monotony in their lives. They do the same things again and again. Everyone wants some form of excitement or adventure to feel a momentary sense of pleasure. Be such a person who provides escape, even temporarily, to them. Observe their boredom, see what excites them. Everyone has fantasies that makes them interested and excited. Tap into those fantasies. Give them the glimpse of how energising it is to be with you. Make your life worth enjoying first, it wouldn't be exciting to be with a person who just sits all day and does nothing. Actively pursue adventures, not only physical, but mental too. Complete your missions.

Importance of letting go of negativities in your life Negative emotions/energies have a tendency to cling on to you. It is said that negative emotions keep you on a lower level of consciousness and make it difficult for you to experience emotions of higher consciousness (love, courage, empathy, joy, etc.) That's why you need to let go of the negative people and their emotions which keep you in chains. Negativity doesn't only come from people. It can come from any source; seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and even thinking (e.g. revisiting the negative parts of your past). Your thinking has to be changed from the fundamental level to experience true liberation.

The Power of Imagination in Seduction It's a natural inevitable human tendency to judge a person based on his/her appearance. When you don't know nothing more than the appearance of a person, which is what happens with most people; they have a circle which knows them better, and the rest of the people only know the person by word of mouth or appearance. Therefore, it becomes crucial to optimise your appearance for the best public image creation. And it's easier than you think. Even a small gesture sets up the canvas for your bigger image. Suppose you're a new join in your office. No one knows about you. You did an act which was appreciated by all your co-workers and the boss. This sets up a good starting image for the rest of your tenure, and coupled with more good deeds, your image becomes unshakeable. A good deed, a great presentation/speech, etc. set the tone for your future condition. You only did a normal good act, but it slowly begins to enhance your image more than the act itself. People start talking about you. The principle of "first impression is the last impression" applies here.

Become obsessed with being the best you can. You see all around you people satisfied with their mediocre lives, waking, working, chilling, sleeping. They are so accustomed to this lifestyle that their yearning for a better life has died. You see sadness, un-fulfilment and lack of ambition in their eyes. I congratulate you if you aren't yet in this stage. Don't let the yearning die, educate yourself daily, take actions daily, and build your empire. To the people who are in this stage, realise that change is the only constant. It takes one decision to change your trajectory. Get up, don't touch your phone, sit silent with a pen and a paper. Note down what needs to be changed. Take action. If you need help at any stage, you can DM me.

"I like to do things at my own pace." Yeah, that's why you're in this position. That's why you suffer daily. That's why you sleep on your bed unsatisfied with your life. That's why you're depressed. A single person who doesn't care about "doing things at his own pace" will outwork you. He will disrupt everyone's 'pace'. By the way, you already know how much time you waste "doing things at your own pace". Even just using those blocks of wasted time can drag you out of this unfulfilled-feeling life.

Don't ask your woman to fix her emotional problems Men are analytical creatures. They solve problems by analysing them like a chess move. You come to solutions by thinking and performing actions. This thing works well in the external world where things can be done rationally. Now let's suppose you apply this same tactic with a woman and you ask her what does she actually want from you. This is actually opposite to the feminine nature; the feminine nature is like an ocean, overflowing with love, in all directions. The masculine energy is like a dam which is built to provide direction. If you ask such things to her, it isn't really a good decision. The feminine wants you to take the lead; you to make decisions and let her flow. Asking her what she wants all the time is counterintuitive to her nature. She loves to surrender (in a good way) and let her man take the lead. -An explanation from Lesson 20 from the book The Way of The Superior Man by David Deida.

Instead of scrolling on social media, spend your time studying the most successful people in history. And by success I don't mean monetary success only; study great warriors, great orators, great kings, great ministers, great philosophers, great psychologists, etc. Basically any person who revolutionised his field and came out to be at the top. You'll learn more from their life more than you could imagine.

One of the best skills you can learn in today's world is copywriting. It is becoming more relevant day by day to learn how basic psychology and sales work. With the advent of internet and the crazy growth of our connections over social media, it has never been easier to sell something so easily. I make use of this skill everyday, and whether or not you need this skill in your craft today, it is still helpful to learn how people can be persuaded through text or speech. It simply helps you in every social facet of your life.
