The Psychology of Self-Belief and Success

Evil people never believe that they are evil because our brains

are designed to

trick us into thinking we are always the main characters in our own

stories.

We are the benevolent actors who can do no wrong.

Now, if we decided one day to chase our goals

with that same level of

self-belief, we would accomplish everything

that we've ever put our minds to.

And this is exactly why people that look evil from your perspective in

the world

are oftentimes the most successful and the people that actually win,

because they

don't perceive themselves as evil. They think that they are always right.

They have zero internal friction and a hundred percent conviction in what

they are

doing. They believe themselves the benevolent

actors and the people who are

maintaining order and justice in their specific world.

And if you want to win in life, you need to adopt a lot of the same

principles

because you can't always be the good guy who asks himself, "What are the

consequences? What if this happens?" Then you feel friction,

and then you fail.

And most people in life fail and lose because they sit around waiting

for

permission to be great at something, and then wait around so long that the

opportunity passes before they've even had a chance to try.

The universe will reward certainty and conviction.

It will not reward hesitation.

And so you need to figure out how you in your own life can turn yourself into an

evil person who is convicted enough to win.

And I don't mean evil in the way that you think.

I mean evil in the way that you are the main character

and everybody else is living

a life according to you. When you operate from

that level of confidence, people

automatically assume that you know what you're doing, and

when you stop doubting

yourself, other people will also stop doubting you
