Aces High: A Maverick Journal

[Johannesbrst]

If you're just starting Maverick and worrying about relationships or attracting women, I hate to put it this way, but you're wasting your time running this sub.  Maverick is a journey about self discovery.  That means that dating often becomes the furthest thing down the list because this is more about putting yourself first rather than trying to find balance and equilibrium with someone else.  This is also why the warnings were plastered at the very beginning of the description for the product regarding what people in relationships should expect when running this sub. 

Choose one.  Unleash your full potential or try to amend yourself to be what some other woman wants you to be right now.  There is no both when it comes to Maverick. 

Maybe it's just me, but I don't really buy into this "you have to forget about relationships to achieve your highest self", this idea that pursuing a relationship is not productive or not worthy for a man, and instead working yourself to death, or the so-called "grinding", is somewhat a more worthy pursuit. Or the fact that you need to stay single to focus on self-improvement. Seems like a selfish and narcissistic pursuit.

I don't think the idea is to "forget about relationships", but more about finding a drive inside of you that's there whether you have someone else in your life or not. 

The pursuit to discover this drive will probably direct you inwards for a while, rather then outwards. You maybe need to find what you believe and want from life, before meeting someone and finding a way of aligning your views.

The reward from having discovered this drive is then perhaps going to show you how much you enjoy living a life directed by that kind of drive, rather than creating a life where you need others to help you move forward. 

Perhaps the people you can choose from for a long term relationship, and still stay true to yourself, decreases as you become more independent, but the ones that get you, and can be independent themselves, will result in two people being together because they want to, more than they need to. 

Just my interpretation of it, I haven't started to run Maverick yet.
