Dear Speed Seduction® Students And Fans,
When things don’t quite go your way…when you strike out with every woman you meet today (or all week long), when you feel hurt, it is natural to want to protect yourself.
It triggers off a “one-two-three-four” thought process…
- Why did this happen to me?
- This is ALWAYS going to happen to me.
- This ONLY happens to me.
- This happened because of something I did wrong.
The easiest way to protect yourself : don’t put yourself out there. Don’t approach any more women, ever. Never Sarge. When a woman throws herself at you, rather than run the risk she might not be THE ONE, just forget the possibility that it might be the best fucking lay you’ve ever had. Rosie and her sisters are always there, anyway. Right?
Wrong Song, Mr. Strong…
Newsflash: every person experiences fear, sorrow and hesitation and backsliding, suffering and restriction.
No need to feel bad about it, as the song says “Everybody hurts, sometime.”
Let’s see if we can oppose these lies with more neutral ideas. Let’s return you to neutrality before we aim to return you to other aspects of power.
Somewhere, somehow, you have some very vague representation of handling this better and want to find a better model for handling this.
All of the above are TRUE statements, no drama, no extra weight in that baggage.
Now, let’s tackle the lies and other less than useful things:
- Why did this happen to me? Wrong question. Focuses your mind on what went wrong and your “failures”. Better question: what can I do to prevent this kind of thing from happening again without zapping my zest for life and openness to new adventures? If not, how can I now best view this as the worthwhile price to pay for having an open mind and life?
- This is ALWAYS going to happen to me. Unlikely, if you learn what you need to. People can always change their feelings, that is true, but so can you. If someone can change their loving feelings for you because of your behavior then why can’t you change your negative feelings about yourself because of NEW behavior? Hmmmm… Change does and will happen. It’s how you choose to handle it. No guarantees on this rotating mudball other than naked baby in, stop breathing to leave.
- This ONLY happens to me. Horseshit. Read “Dear Abby”. Watch Oprah. She had this guy on whose fiance called off the wedding 5 hours before it was supposed to go on. He wound up writing a book called Honeymoon with My Brother. Best thing that ever happened to him.
- This happened because of something I did wrong. Here is a tricky one as it IS possible that some old patterns of emotional response or old patterns of behavior reared up and kept you from having the kinds of responses that would have kept you more in the drivers seat.
In which case, THIS GIRL WHO JUST DISSED YOU IS A GREAT SPIRITUAL GURU AND TEACHER HERE TO SLAP YOU AWAKE WITH THE PAIN SO YOU CAN SEE THESE PATTERNS AND RESOLVE THEM.
Look, what you did “wrong” isn’t the entire contents in the book of your life. They are just “markers” to show you what needs to be read and re-written.
ANYTHING THAT COMES UP COMES UP TO BE LEARNED FROM, HANDLED, PURIFIED, REFINED, RECYCLED, TRANSMUTED, RELEASED towards the vision of whom you everyday are more and more becoming.
So…find a place of objective, clear, grounded clarity to view what happened and find the patterns where you would like more power and choice.
Peace and piece,
RJ

Beautiful post, Ross. As usual with your inner game posts, this applies to any area of life – not just girls.
Thank you 🙂
So true, Ross. “Why” is that little lie that leads one astray and lost in endless confusion.
Thanks, Ross for your comments seem oddly time appropiate. I’ve had a rough week and while I have heard this before its nice to be reminded that this shit happens.
