What is Transformation?
On the very outside of the onion called transformation, is the ‘wow’ layer. Wow… what just happened? Wow… that’s not how I’ve been seeing it… An experience.
It is miraculous. It is reality changing in front of your very eyes.

TLB is your Twitchy Little Bastard score. Mental toughness, AND high TLB is the difference between a reactive, undisciplined, five year old who cannot see past the next five minutes, and a person (whatever age) who can actually see and act conscious of the consequences of their action or inaction.
Tai Lopez calls these according to names of the Greek philosophies that reigned around the time of Seneca the Elder: the Stoics, and the Epicurians.
If you gobble up a cheese burger, you are an Epicurian who can’t see where eating that toxic stuff will leads you… fat, poor, sick, and wanting more.
If money burns a hole in your pocket… you are probably living the Epicurian lifestyle. You can’t stand not having your phone with you, ditto.
You dream of instant success, instant weight loss, instant love… you are an Epicurian… and a TLB 1.

The Desire Trap and how to release it… A life with greed, want, desire, or resistance cannot be a happy life
The book Feelings writes at length about the Desire Trap,
Quoting from the Feelings book by Margoczi:
Although the desire trap may look harmless at first sight, this is the trap the most people suffer from around the world.
In Reddit there is a thread where the guy shares that he ordered in his grocery pickup, eight bananas.
So they gave him eight bunches of bananas, and charged him for one single banana.
So he posts this on Reddit, and the people there went apeshit with ideas how to eat all the bananas, recipes galore. More comments than in any post I have seen before.

Are you secure enough in who you are to look at things that are of no personal relevance to you?
That sounds like a ‘so what?’ question, but it isn’t.
You see, one of the most important measures in predicting your happiness and success in life is your cone of vision plus your about-me score.
Ultimately the two measures, combined, give me how much of all-knowledge you are willing and able to see… so you can navigate life, the economy, relationships, health, successfully.
The smaller the combined measure is, the less you are willing to see. Your reaction to it: ‘it doesn’t apply to me’ and you just block it out. You don’t even entertain it for a moment. (I can see it in your 67-step reports clearly. Or in what articles you open… or not)

Here is an identity, a life script I have been a slave to.
I am up against impossible odds… and yet I can win. Look a me! Look at me!
It’s both funny and tragic.
It was pointed out to me back 1987, but I wasn’t ready to get it.
I KNOW that if you look first, look at what is there to do, the layout, the situation, then the success is almost certain.
But where is the fun!? Screams the identity. Let’s make it hard and let’s win against impossible odds!

The most important thing that happened to you happened when you were around three years old. It was a decision that happened to you. Even though you made that decision, you are now a slave to it.
Until that first incident you were innocent. Unless you make that decision malleable, that decision you made about how life is, how you are, how it’s best to behave, nothing can change about you or your life.
I can pull your anchor to doom energetically, and yet… nothing changes. Because that decision is like a physical skeleton, a framework, that everything, all of your life is built on.
And however you are today, however you approach anything comes from that decision. Entirely.
How the world occurred to you then.
At any moment what you do, what you think, what you say either comes from the inside, your core, or the outside…
And depending on the source of the action, thought, you are either true to yourself, or true to something else.
There was a two-part episode of Doctor Who that I watched some years ago, the episode ‘Human Nature’. Watch it if you can.

If you ever tried to meditate. If you are a ‘meditator’. And if the idea of meditation brings up bile to your throat…
OK who else? Oh, those who couldn’t give a shriveled nut for the idea of mediation… all people…
The only thing meditation wants you is to look within. You spend almost all your life looking outward, and have no idea about what is inside.

If you need encouragement to become X you’ll never be X
Work sets you free
If you need encouragement to become an entrepreneur you’ll never be an entrepreneur.
Context, of course, is decisive… Arbeit macht frei is true… but…
On the gates of hell, on the gates of Auschwitz, Dachau, Theresianstadt that principle feels like mockery. The slogan: Work sets you free through Crematorium number 3. Sob, sob. Weep, weep.
If you need a reason to work, then you’ll never do work.
