The Land of Milk and Honey (DMSI Journal)

[Raz]

I'd say one of the biggest problems I face is that I never truly "master" something with the slight exception of certain video games. For example, I'll make big improvements with women, meet lots of them, overcome certain obstacles, get dates, maybe even sex and then go "eh, bored" and stop. Same with school. Same with jobs. Same with, well, everything. Once I get to a certain level I stop pushing myself and stagnate until I'm forced to move again. Imagine a person who starts at F-level, works their way up to a C+, and only needs to stay focused just a liiiiitle bit more to get that B or A (methaphorically and literally) but they stop because they're like "eh, I've done enough".

I say all this because...I have the strong feeling that even if Shannon gets DMSI to work I'll probably end up abandoning it or resisting it once it actually works. But then again, NSFM has always produced great results so maybe this will be the same.

Tl;dr: I love being successful...just not too successful. I'd rather be just above average rather than excellent/great.

I know exactly what you mean, K-Train. Used to be pretty similar to what you describe. It's easy to get to C+ or B level, but true excellence seems like a real challenge and huge investment of time on top of getting to mediocre.

But it is only a limiting belief. Mastery has it's own merits once you get going. The momentum it builds up is enormous.

If you ever decide that you have had enough, give BASE a try
