There is a BIG major problem in today’s world.
A problem so serious that it is killing many people’s dreams and causing billions of people to live an extremely delusional life.
By the end of this article you will understand what the problem is, the basic roots, and then learn how YOU can permanently destroy it.
The problem that I spake of is The Magic Pill Mindset.
You might ask what is that.
The Magic Pill Mindset is where you THINK that by just buying this program or this pill that you will get the end desired results.
That’s complete bullshit that has been programmed into your mind by the Marketing God’s of this world.
They know that 99% of the people in today’s world do not WANT to HAVE TO put in the work.
They know that you want instant gratification.
I will give you some examples of MOST people’s thinking process:
- I want to lose weight: The average person will go and buy the latest and greatest weight loss pill. They expect that they don’t HAVE TO workout.
- I want to be successful: I’ll buy a program such as BREAK THE CYCLE and try it for a month and see if it works.
- I want to look like Arnold: The Average person goes to the gym and half-asses the workout. To make it even worse they only do it for 2 months if that.
Now, let me give to you how a Winner’s thinking process goes:
- I want to lose weight: An actual Winner will think okay I will get my diet right, workout, and as an added benefit take a supplement.
- I want to be successful: A real-life Winner will sit down and figure out where he wants to go and then execute ALL of the required steps to actually reach it. Something that helped me get the habits of a successful person was BREAK THE CYCLE. That isn’t the only thing out there it just worked for me.
- I want to look like Arnold: A real-life Winner will look at himself and imagine what he WANTS to actually look like. Then he will figure out the workouts which bodybuilders do and the types of diets they have. Once he figures out what is required he will then immediately start kicking ass.
What are the roots of The Magic Pill Mindset?
It all started when businesses and the government figured out how EASY it was to influence us.
You have probably NOT heard of this man, but Edward Bernays was one of the key figures in going about molding us into consumers.
Edward Bernays was quoted saying:
” We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society”.
He was a direct influence in the creation of consumerism as we know it today.
Yes he was not the only one, but I recommend looking into him so you can figure out how far the rabbit hole actually goes.
How to destroy “The Magic Pill Mindset”:
It’s simple.
Realize that the only true way to get the things you WANT in life are through hard work.
I am sorry to say this, but there is no pill that will give you a body of a Gladiator.
The only way that you can get that is by working your ass off and getting the right diet.
There is no program or book that will be The Magic Pill or give you some secret to unlocking the success that you WANT either.
The only way to become successful is through surrounding yourself with other Winner’s, putting in the work, and by developing an actual Winning Mindset.
Conclusion:
What I am saying to you is that you need to simply get up off the couch.
Stop taking what life gives you.
Stop starting a program and then quitting after a month.
Stop all-the-time selling yourself short.
Why?
Because you have greatness within you.
You are special!
You are a real-life Winner.
Understand that instant gratification is NOT ever fulfilling.
It was designed to keep you down and to make you lazy.
Instead get up grab a copy of BREAK THE CYCLE and start taking yourself seriously.
I look forward to seeing YOU at the top.
Start tomorrow with the Mindset of a Winner and create your own god damn legacy.
Your friend in success,
