This is my own journey with TRP, and while it might not be a FR about slaying pussy or conquering a night out on the town, this is about smashing my inner gerbil thanks to the many guys the fraternity is lucky to have.

Exactly one month to date I found myself continuing to sort through the various posts on TRP. Unlike a lot of frequent posters I found TRP from a completely different vantage point. I was/am at the top of my fitness game and while I should have life by the balls at 30 years of age...I don't. Anyone looking at my life from the outside in would immediately assume this was a "Chad Thundercock." I had looks, dated high quality women in droves, and was admired among my peers. What they didn't know was I was simply a beta wearing a costume I found when I was 18. I was unsure of how to use this new found power and it was reflected in my LTR's or anything beyond a 2 month resemblance.

Why doesn't she treat me like a king? I do everything right, I buy her nice things, I take her out to dinner. Yada yada yada, insert Beta hamster whining here. Now this carry over didn't happen in just my external dating life...but into my inner workplace. The place I was supposed to put food on my table with. I had gotten leveled career-wise early in life losing a 120k a year job due to the mortgage recession. Since then I've taken job after job (girl after girl) short handing myself with pay (Average 38k-42k) in order to try to bring some kind of peace with my life. Can I live a semi-decent life on 42k a year? Sure. Was I worth that? Well...based on the jobs I continue to put myself in front of I should have said a resounding yes. That was preTRP for the last 8 years.

Fast forward. I found the IRC channel. I found a group of guys that I could sound board off of. I learned how to approach questions with senior members and come to answers to better myself and my overall existence. While I might have been an expert at Fitness...I was an idiot with finances and overall job improvement. I was brow beaten by guys like PHYST to better my income and job situation using resources like "mrmoneymustache". I was urged to look into other fields focused on management and project management by guys like Anteros and Enmity. One day a longtime lurker on the IRC whined about his income and OmegaRed commented about taking a hold on his life and "Stop being such a bitch about it." It was like they where speaking DIRECTLY TO ME. Here I had life by the ballz in a Fitness/looks department but had squandered my potential taking meaningless dead end opportunities. I was in a dead end town, as a sales person, with an average walk in traffic of .5 people a day. Something snapped in me that day. I set to updating my resume, and started playing back to my strengths: Fitness/Management.

This past Friday I said yes to a new position in life as a District Manager with a salary of 110k a year. I have a new lease on life. I'm incredibly excited and motivated at where this is going to take me. I owe TRP a lot...a whole fucking lot. While I might still be wearing that 'Chad Thundercock' costume... I know it's just a matter of time before I retire the costume and feel comfortable in my own skin.

Here's to taking TheRedPill and improving yourself one day at a time.
