Achieve Your Full Potential

For the past several years I’ve devoted myself to improvement, seeking out and soaking in any knowledge I could personally obtain on the subject and putting it to use in my everyday life.

Ever since my days in high school, where I first learned about Maslow and his hierarchy of needs, I’ve been fascinated about achieving self-enlightenment and reaching my full potential as a human being.

Abraham Maslow was an American psychologist who came up with a pyramid system designed to represent human beings utmost needs. On the bottom of the pyramid are physiological needs; these represent items essential for life such as air, food, water and sleep.

Second on the pyramid are safety needs; these range from security of you to financial security. Next comes Love, including friendships and sexual intimacy. Esteem is next in the pyramid and includes items such as confidence and respect of others and yourself.

On top of the pyramid sits self-actualization. Self-actualization is a state in which you are at your fullest potential. You are aware of your world’s surroundings, yet fully in control of your mind and state of being.

Achieving your full potential forces you to break out of your preconceived beliefs, it challenges you to break through your limiting habits and become well versed in all aspects of your life.

Throughout my early years I remember spending countless nights lying awake in bed dreaming of one day meeting the girl of my dreams. In my mind if I could just find this girl everything would be okay. I had somehow correlated obtaining a girlfriend with obtaining my full potential.

This belief system held true up until my first long term girlfriend in my second year of college. Shortly after meeting we moved in together. We went on trips, we purchased a cat and a dog and we lived a domestic lifestyle. My dreams had finally come true. However, deep inside something was missing. No matter how much time we spent together or how much sex we had I could not find happiness.

I started to question myself, was something wrong with me? What was holding me back from achieving my happiness? Was it her, was it me?

All of these questions ran through my mind with no clear answer in site. Months went by and our relationship soured. We grew apart and went our separate ways. My confidence slipped and I began to question my position in life and my appeal with women.
Since that time I’ve met hundreds of men who have had the same problem. These men come from all walks of life. Some of these men are professionals with high paying corporate jobs while others are recent college graduates. All of these men share one common problem. No matter how many women they’ve been with they still cannot achieve happiness.

When I first got into the world of seduction several years ago, I entered with the goal of finding and seducing the woman of my dreams. I began learning how to approach women in bars and clubs. I memorized dating pickup routines and spent countless numbers of hours practicing the art of seduction. I learned how to increase my confidence; I became more social and harnessed the ability to put my ambitions into practice.

Still, something was missing, something was still not right. No matter how many women I met or had relations with, I still was nowhere near achieving happiness or my full potential.

One night while I was out clubbing with one of my close friends I had an epiphany. My friend was one of those guys that was naturally good at approaching and talking with others. He kept busy, always involving himself in social groups and activities. On this particular night he was dashing across the dance floor from one group to another, casually introducing himself before hurrying off to the next group of people.

My friend isn’t the most handsome of guys, he’s short in stature, he’s currently unemployed and he’s had some strings of bad luck in life that you wouldn’t believe. But I can honestly say that he’s one of the only truly happy people I know.

I thought to myself, what makes him different? What is it in his life that makes him so happy?

It then dawned on me that the skills he possessed were the same as mine. What I had not realized was that there is more to happiness than just women. Think back to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, Love and belonging is only one tier on the pyramid. In order to achieve your true potential you need to expand into all walks of life. You need to live life to the fullest.

Learning the secrets of attraction gave me the skills necessary to achieve my full potential. It gave me the confidence to head out into the world, take risks and overcome my self-limiting beliefs.

I went to see the Dhali Lama lecture; I took up new hobbies including playing the guitar and boxing. I started working out and I involved myself in social circles and groups I never dreamed of.

Now I can honestly say that I’m a more rounded person, I’m happy in life and I enjoy every moment. The fuller your life is, the easier you’ll find it to let the little things in life roll of your back.

Picking up women doesn’t bring you happiness, but the skills you learn in the process will break down the barriers to self growth and soon enough you’ll find that you’re closer to achieving your full potential than you ever could have imagined.
