I was reading through some of my posts from 2008, the year I started PUA, and man...although a lot of what I said may be true, they focus on the wrong things and bring the reader into a state of paranoia and self-consciousness.
Nowadays, I don't think that there's something terribly wrong with my life and that I have to do something to fix it.
No, after realizing that I am pretty much the same as the other 7 billion people in the world, I accepted that I am NORMAL.
Unless you legitimately have an abnormal history and you've experienced a life that isn't perfect, you are a-okay.
After realizing my being ordinary, I went on to start thinking of the term "respect."
Until I thought of respecting others, I focused on using them for my own gain. So selfish, so egotistic, and so immature.
As I learned to respect others in better and better ways, the results I got started to booom.
You want to be cared about by the rest of the world? Care about them too.

p.s. I personally go beyond just respecting others and I enjoy helping others, not really caring about what's in it for me. Over 14,000 children die every single day from starvation, malnutrition, or other hunger-related diseases. In Central Africa children are abducted and trained into a rebel army to plunder and kill. In India alone over 456,000,000 live beneath the international poverty line of an income of $1.25 per day. Truly, everything you do matters in shaping the world. One act of kindness will go far, and same with one act of wrongdoing. Help the world.
