Summary — 👁👁⃤

Many young men here are visionaries and dreamers, with big goals and aspirations.

But only that.

This will be your bane and downfall if you cannot combine it with action.

Intro - The Long Road —

The first step in achieving a goal is determining your desire in the first place. For a large sum of men here, being sexually desired by a myriad of women is the ultimate end goal; all other avenues are means to that end.

Some men have a different goal, and prefer to give themselves a better opportunity in life by learning how to take advantage of the social games people play, and becoming the best player they can be.

There are even some men who come here to learn what the game is, so they can have a better time not playing it.

After you take The Red Pill, there is no going back. You now have a choice of whether you wish to live aware of the matrix and manipulate it to your fancy from within — or live outside the matrix and determine it from without.

Whatever your end goal for taking the Red Pill may be, at some point you have to choose which path you which to take using the tools here given to you, as well as information you've gathered up from other sources along the way.

The long road starts with a vision. That vision is your destination.

Body — Pot Holes

Imagine you're driving on the way to the beach with your friends and some sexy girls. Everyone's laughing in the car, someone cracked a can of beer open; he couldn't wait to hit the shoreline.

Then you see a pothole in the road, just large enough to fit a single tire inside.

Everyone sighs, a girl groans, and you turn your car around and head home in dejection. "Sorry guys, there's a small pot hole on the road, we gotta go home..."

Now how fucking retarded would that be?

Yet people do this every day inside their own lives!

Giving up at the first sign of trouble or adversity is the mark of a loser. You will not ever reach your end vision if you give up as soon as there's a bump on the road. And there's going to be a lot of fucking bumps.

  • A big and strong roller moves into your grappling gym, and for some reason he determines you to be his new rival.

  • You've hit a plateau in your gym routine, and now you have to eat more food and lift with double intensity in your accessory's to push through.

  • One of your plates turns vindictive, and it's time to learn who your real friends are.

There's many things that can go wrong on the path towards your vision. Are you going to stop driving there because of these situations or will you keep moving in spite of them?

Body — Day Dreams

A mistake I used to make was I was too involved in the day dream of the vision. I would spend hours in the shower, or laying on my bed, fantasizing about how I would become this great martial artist.

I cannot think of a bigger waste of time.

Visualization is a vital component to achieving goals, but maladaptively day dreaming for inordinate amounts of times is the same as picking a place to drive, getting in the car, turning it on, then letting the fumes carry you off to dream-land while you idle in your parking garage. You actually have to make moves in accompaniment with your vision to reach it.

Don't spend more time visualizing your goal, than you actually spend achieving it with action.

Body — Indecision & Perfection

When you've finally decided which route you want to take, it's time to get specific. Let's keep at it with the martial arts example.

So you've decided to become a martial artist. Will you choose BJJ? CSW? GRW? What about for striking; Muay Thai? American Boxing? Krav Maga? Will you combine some into your own form like what Bruce Lee did with JKD?

And this is where many people get stuck.

Rather than picking a gym, trying some classes of each discipline, then choosing - they opt to spend hours, even days researching which martial artform is the best. They spend time in online discussion groups talking about what the best technique to win the fight may be, and these discussions leads them to watching UFC fight videos for 10 hours while they take notes, and it all leads to jack shit. They've accomplished nothing but can pat themselves on the back for "researching."

Sound familiar? It should, because many guys here will discuss and discuss what the perfect technique is to seduce a women, and live in a fantasy land where they imagine the super suave perfect approach, instead of accepting the imperfect reality, going out, fucking up, learning from it, and correcting it with the next approach.

Nothing is perfect. That's one I had to learn myself.

My coach told me about an amateur BJJ tournament that was coming up... it's passed by now, and my excuse to not bring our gym back a gold medal was "I'm not ready yet."

"But we've seen your calf slicer, and your guillotines' are sneaky and instinctual, no one will see them coming."

"Maybe, yeah, I just don't think I'm ready yet."

And to my past self - with that type of thinking, you will never be ready.

There will not be a moment of perfection where all your stars are aligned perfectly, for you to make the perfect decision that lands you on a perfect path towards your perfect goal.

Sometimes, you have to take the knowledge that you have and throw yourself straight into the fray with it.

Yeah, maybe you weren't ready for it, but this isn't life or death. For me, it was an amateur grappling tournament. For you, it could be picking up girls.

Figure out what went wrong and correct it if you fail, or celebrate the fact you did it if you succeed.

Closing Metaphor — The Fighter

Vision is defense, it's something you can always fall back on.

Action is offense, it might not always result in what you want, but you have to do it.

If you play your life on defensive mode, you will have a clear understanding of what you don't want, and people will be unlikely to ever fuck with you. But, you will never have what you want because you, for one reason or another, don't make moves to get your goal.

If you play your life on the offensive, you will fuck up a lot, but, you will also get what you want a lot of the time as well. This is a guy who doesn't know anything about game, and just spam approaches women. He will get some girls, yeah, but he would have a much better time if he had a vision and the framework - if he knew the theory behind his moves.

So, by combining offensive and defensive thinking into your life, (action and vision) you will have the best framework for achieving your goals.

In a fight, the all-defensive man will never get hit. The all-offensive man will take hits but dish them out as well. The fighter who combines both will have the best chances of winning.

Your Task Now — Do This When You Finish Reading This Post

  • Take a goal of yours and envision the end result of achieving it

  • Think of three things you can do to move you one step closer to that goal

  • Do those three things today. Not tomorrow, not when you feel like it, today.

Conclusion — The Vision Takes Action

Throughout history, the warrior caste and the priest caste have been intertwined. Too much idealism and fancy thinking leaves one's head in the clouds; a waking dream. Too much action without contemplation or vision leads to mistakes being made, sometimes resulting in disaster.

Visions without action are just fantasies.

Actions without vision are just struggles.

A true player in the game holds the priestly ability to imagine, to manifest, and envision, combined with the warriors will of consistent action.

You all, here, are visionaries, now it's time to take some action.
