Honest people

David X, Be relentless:
"How do you get tough?You have to be able to look anyone in the eyes and tell them the truth."
"Go after what you want"

David Shade
Shade's modus operandi was to be picky. Not every girl was worth seducing.
Major Mark said a long time ago that the really worthy women will provide
you with all the material you'll ever need to seduce them, he continued.
It's the ones who aren't worthy that you end up having to entertain.
Seduction is not about you or your material: it's about her.

DrJekyll"But what you can do, something real and definite, is to set yourself a
specific goal for the evening - something that does not require you to do
anything other than go through the motions of the process which will
eventually make you good.
Focus on the process.
The results will come when they come.
Focus upon the process, absolutely. Focus on the next step. The danger of
putting a timeframe on yourself, be it 6 months, or whatever, is that you
may put so much pressure on yourself that you will tear yourself apart. It
certainly felt like that for me sometimes. This is not a trick of skill. It
is a journey toward honour, glory. It takes tremendous courage to embark
upon this endeavour, and tremendous humility to succeed.
But those ultimate visions you have, they are not to be cast aside. Those
grand outcomes upon which we are dependent - they are the visions of our
future which our effort will make real. I do not believe there is a simple
answer, except, as Kipling said, to dream, and not make dreams your master.
It is the process, the steps which we must take, the actions which we take
that move us along the pathways of our lives. And yet if we lose those
visions of where we ultimately want to be, we will be rudderless and move
apart.
So focus on taking the steps. Make certain that you demand of yourself each
day no more than you can acheive in one day. And remember that there is
always time to rest and recover. But that vision that you had - not the one
of you being better than the other guys, but the one of you not being afraid
anymore, not being alone anymore - that vision is something of true value.
It will strengthen you when you are down, and keep you climbing to your feet
whenever you fall."

I realized yesterday taht I'm very habitous in lying. It doesn't even make sense. I carefuly hide the fact that I'm her learning and growing. I've developed a double identity. I need to stop that. I already am "trying" to stop lying. It doesn't work with will-power. What do I do? Simple, as with everything I learn, I surround myself with people that are honest.
