Just because something worked for you doesn't mean it works for everyone.

[Majed]

People have unique situations, and so just because something worked for you, doesn't mean it's going to work for everyone. That's why pick up for example I did 2700 approaches and I am still a virgin, in my situation it didn't work, for Leo and others it may have worked. Follow your passion, might have worked for Leo, for most people it doesn't work. Spirituality and meditation clearly don't work for everyone. There's a profound wisdom and humility, in knowing when something just doesn't work, as well as an openness for alternative lifestyles. School for example doesn't work for everyone.

Yes I agree, not all teachings connect with everyone equally. That is sort of the dance of life. Differences sometimes clashing, sometimes harmonizing, I guess.

[Joseph Maynor]

Very true.  Someone might think what you have to say sounds terrible.

@Majed 2700 approaches is nothing. I did 1000 in 2 months, imagine doing that for 3 years, that is like 18.000 approaches. Not to forget that you can get really good all of a sudden and it will bring you to the next level. I think that we think too much in it not working instead of what it takes to succeed, more often then not it takes way way way more then we initially think. I had this with dropshipping. I stopped dropshipping after doing it for 6 months, but I still know you can make money with it, it just takes around 3 years of losing money to get really good and then you can make maybe a million in a year. So success isn't a straight line, it is like a curve that can go up like boom. With youtube I posted 100 videos and then one video went viral, but without the 100 videos there wouldn't have been that one viral video. So life is a numbers game, plus of course improving your skill, not just trying the same shit, you got to experiment and try different shit.

Cmon man admit your lies. 1000 in 2 months you must have insane health and drive, I wish I had your level of motivation, it took me years to do 2700 lmao. Btw how much did you get laid from those approaches?

@Majed there's humility in knowing what you've shared. It's good to recognise when to quit something that doesn't work for you, and put your energies somewhere else. It's also good to always have in your thoughts "this may not work for me, but I'll see how it goes", it's a much gentler way to go about things.

@Majed Hey Majed, sorry man for your struggles. Stay optimistic, rooted in your awareness. This is a good insight you have here, cultivate those distinctions and being happy within yourself.

Best.

2700 is not nothing

[Carl-Richard]

And we can expand and say that different things work for different people at different points in their progress or path. So just because something doesn't work for you now, doesn't mean it will never work for you or that you will never be compelled to pursue that thing.

[Ulax]

Issue with developing skillsets is its hard and difficult.

The hardness is just about the level of effort. For example, needing to do many approaches.

The difficulty is about the ability to identify and correct skill issues. 

This is very true with pickup

[Olaf]

@Majed One day I did 100. I could have pulled some girls that day I did 100, but I didn't as I have struggle recieving when the opportunity is there. But my last 2 girlfriends came when I was in a pick up phase. If you do 100 in one day and you don't have struggle to recieve, I am sure you can pull someone this weekend. Try it out, one day 100 sets of girls, and one group is still one set.

See it this way.

there are 3 types of systems (there are more but let's focus on 3): 

Clear systems: Cause and effect are obvious. what helps is following a proven process and checklists.
EXAMPLES: cooking a meal (you just need a recipe) - driving a car (you can drive a car for the first time with a small checklist on your hand)

Complicated systems: Cause and effect exist but are hidden. what helps is studying the system, analyzing it, or consulting the right specialist.
EXAMPLES: doing taxes - growing muscle - figuring out why your head hurts - most math problems. 

Complex systems: Cause and effect only make sense in hindsight. what helps is holistic thinking, intuition, trial and error, big picture understanding. 
EXAMPLES: building a business - becoming an artist - solving relationship problems - parenting - building an audience - making big life decisions.... 

your insight is right when it comes to complex systems, what worked for one might not work for others.

However, sharing what you found valuable to others is still doing a good service, sometimes.
