What happens when a bunch of people with above average IQs get into a room and talk about existential topics?
Enjoy
“You don’t exist.
You just think you do.We’re nothing but the stories we tell ourselves.
We know in our hearts what kind of people we are, what we’re capable of, because we’ve told ourselves what kind of people we are. You’re a carefully rehearsed list of weaknesses and strengths you’ve told yourself you have. (Self-confidence, for example, is a particularly nebulous quality you can easily talk yourself out of having.)
You owe no allegiance to that self-image if it harms you. If you don’t like the story your life has become – tell yourself a better one.
Think about the person you want to be and do what that person would do.
Act the way that person would act.
Amazingly enough once you start acting like that person, people will start treating you like that person. And you’ll start to believe it. And then it will be true.Welcome to your new self.
