Calling every GC member, do this exercise regarding your future right now!

[Indian Race Troll (IRT)]

Calling every member of this forum, old or new, to get in this thread and do this for me right now.

I want you to take a moment, maybe a few to mentally imagine what your ideal life looks like years from now. Not on a broad level such as "I am rich and get women bro" but on a more granular level. What I mean is envision the environment, the kinds of people present, the activity you are doing at that moment or even that day and how that day is laid out.

I am asking you to fantasize but keep it real, that means no flying unicorns or any of that stuff, I mean your ideal life down to the deepest detail you can get to. Narrate the story of a future day in your life right now.

And lose the limiting beliefs for that very second too, so if you want to marry a supermodel as your ideal life, envision that and block out the noises that say you are not famous.

I'll go first.

I'll admit I don't have it down perfect but I have some broad idea of it, so I'll start.

Its a typical weekend and I am at a bar, maybe even a brewery but I am not there by myself. I arrive at the place with a couple of hot girls, maybe even a third one. One or maybe even two of them are a bit too touchy with me in public and I love it, because I know them and I am one of the few guys in the place that has actually shown up with some hot girls there. We have a drink and check the place out, somehow we get on social media.

So I take out my phone and show my IG account, it has over a thousand followers and pics all have over 500 likes except all of them are from people who I have met over the years. Maybe some of them are people from this forum but who knows, I've kinda lived a double life to where I kept my GC presence private from my real life one.

We have a good time, one of the girls makes out with me and I see a guy friend there, maybe it is one of the naturals from this forum who is there with a hot girl or two and somehow we become a group. Chat a bit and then I head home after many hours, the daytime is almost over.

Night-time comes and I am off to bartending at a trendy nightclub, I do this on top of a normal 9 to 5. I see the party go on and am making drinks, see some familiar faces in the crowd from years back but I could care less. Some of them are even former classmates from college because of how small this world can get and it is like I am literally on the other side of the bar, going from a guy who used to be a social outcast in college to a bartender at a nightclub everyone wants to be at.

The night passes and then the next day comes, I start with a hobby of mines. I also do photography, by this I mean model photography. I take photos of a beautiful woman who is borderline nude, it is a great photoshoot and after that, we fuck and it feels great. I am getting by on little to no sleep, its a fucking Sunday.

So as that day passes I get ready for the weekdays at work, a 9 to 5 corporate job and I am doing well there too but I've been there a while and it is getting close.

I am at the tail-end of my twenties and it feels like things are somewhat relaxed. I have friends, lots of them. On social media, I am killing it and I mean legitimately killing it. Friends, sex, social media validation, hedonism and all of this, it goes and goes and goes in my twenties and I look back thinking I have come so far.

Then, one day, I am standing there on the balcony of a nice apartment and I finally ask myself the question of where I go from here.

I went from a social outcast in college to many friends in my twenties.

I went from not succeeding with hot girls to getting them at will in the most creative ways.

I went from a social media loser to killing it on there.

My weekends are fun, very fun.

Then I proudly ask myself where I go from here and I am happy asking myself that.

Maybe it is time to go off on my own instead of keeping with the corporate job, maybe it is time to make my life more visible in the hopes that I can change that of other guys, maybe I write a book sharing my background, maybe I start my own business or create an app or something, or maybe I can settle down now that I have had my fun. Most of all, these decisions are made and I am happy for them, yet for some odd reason, I can't get alone time because there is always a person or girl nearby that seems to know me from somewhere.

I'll get back to you guys soon, its October, just got invited to an amazing Halloween party

Don't make the same mistake I made. I suggest you keep the corporate job UNTIL whatever side gig you got going on can support you AND THEN SOME

Entrepreneurship/whatever is hard as fuck and it'll probably be a fuckup cascade when you first start out(even experienced people fuckup) which means you don't want to jobless....

Pay the price of long hours as you figure out... A: What you're good out so you can actually deliver HUGE VALUE to your customers/clients/whoever and prosper.
B: What you enjoy doing.(Though I am not sure how important this one, I'm only 24 but point A is a must for any business hahaha)

To answer your challenge/exercise.

Every-time I try to plan or imagine what "I think I want", it ends up being bullshit.

Odds are what I think I want is just leftover BS from my upbringing. (In fact,I don't know where my damn thoughts come from)

When I was searching for this recent job, I thought and thought and figured a specific kind of job would be great and yet... Now out of the blue I get a call from a startup and it's better than anything I'd imagined.

All of my thinking and careful cogitation was for not, a waste.
