Have the reflex to divide up tasks

Our dissatisfactions and frustrations come from our inaction. Our inaction comes from our fear of action, and our inability to act comes from our lack of division of labor. In every objective we seek to achieve, there is a part that depends on us and another that depends on God (life, luck etc… each one calls it what he wants). The problem is that often, out of fear and EGO, we fail to do our part.

I believe that everything can be solved, everything can be accomplished if we have the courage to define a process and apply it. This is what I call the division-of-tasks reflex.

When a task seems insurmountable, all we have to do is divide it up and start by doing, without judgement, the part that seems surmountable, then progress little by little towards the final goal. It may happen that we stumble on one of the stages along the way. In that case, simply monetize the part you’re struggling with once again, and move on to the next stage. If this trick doesn’t work (rest assured, it does in 99% of cases), I recommend that you pray, breathe and accept the pain you’re trying to escape. The real blocks are EGO blocks, and you have to be willing to hurt that EGO to strengthen and improve YOURSELF.

Analyze and try things out for yourself before consuming information

There is also a danger to be considered when applying this division-of-tasks reflex. It’s that of wanting to delegate our division of labor by trying to learn from others “by consuming content” on the internet and trying to adopt other people’s methods without discovering our own. While it’s true that reading, watching YouTube videos or taking training courses can save us an incredible amount of time, nothing beats Reverse engineering on your own. Learn and ask for help? yes! But only after you’ve tried it for yourself.

Here’s the division I plan to apply:

1. Understand that I’m as desirable as the girl (she may feel the same attraction, but we’ll never know if either of us makes the first move).

2. Initiate a look and see if it’s shared (the eyes speak before the mouth)

3. Have some mint on me to make sure I’ve got fresh breath (take care of yourself, first impressions are not to be missed)

4. Breaking the ice (approaching, sitting next to, saying hello)

5. Tell the truth and be vulnerable: Hi, I’m a little afraid you’ll take this the wrong way, but… I think you’re too pretty, and I wanted to know if you’d give me your number (try to stammer as little as possible).

6. Accept possible rejection

7. Accept that the attraction may be mutual and that she may want to see me again.

It’s possible that this division of labor is imperfect, it’s possible that it doesn’t work. But it’s also possible that it’s exactly the right thing to do, and that I’ve just saved myself the time and money of watching videos or reading someone else’s advice.

Learning by copying

Another of my goals is to create short and long video content with a cinematic aesthetic. The problem is that I can’t seem to take action. I ask myself too many pointless questions. So I decided to take a video I like and simply copy and post it. That’s how I discovered the division of labor required to produce my own videos.

That’s it for me for today. Don’t hesitate to leave a comment to tell me what you think of my theory, if you’ve tried it out, and if it’s helped you.

And give a clap

Have a great life
