You need to be abnormal - A god born of Zeus
It is 2023 and to this day children still study Alexandar the Great in classrooms.
I don’t know if you understand the magnitude of this but this is someone who lived thousands of years ago (even before Christianity or Islam) and his legacy still lives to this day.
Pay rapt attention to today’s lesson.
You see, there is a culture in Mexico that I’ll loosely explain as saying:
Once people are continually talked about every year, they never really die because they live in people’s thoughts.
For someone like Alexander, he is immortal because his impact while alive will continue to be talked about and will echo forever for eternity.
But before Alexander had the guts to conquer the known world and complete life at 32 years,
Something transpired in his youth…
Alexander was told by his mother that he was above humans... That he was a god born of Zeus, the god of gods.
She instilled this in him several times as a boy telling him that he will do great things because he was more than human.
At first, Alexander doubted his mother but when a woman tells her child something every single day of its life, the child will have no other option than to believe.
Alexander believed delusionally that he was born of a god and was destined for greatness.
This propelled him to lead a battle at 18 years and won.
And from one battle to another Alexander, the Great kept conquering different countries even conquered Egypt and named a place after himself… Alexandria (It is still there to this day)
This was how Alexander conquered the world.
It all started with this crazy DELUSION that he was different… That he was a god.
And he went on to be one worshipped by millions all over the world.
The University of Pennsylvania conducted a study for 22 years using 350,000 humans as specimens and they discovered something after spending millions of dollars.
They discovered that there was a certain way people who were guaranteed to be successful thought about life.
Two thought patterns were the most prevalent.
They discovered that people who are guaranteed to be successful had:
1. Unrealistic Expectations
2. Optimism
That is, they unrealistically believed in themselves and they believe they will achieve so much in such a way that it seems stupid or delusional to the average man or woman.
They had crazy dreams in life and an insane belief that those dreams will come to pass.
In simple terms to the Average Joe on your street,
People who will become successful are seen as abnormal or insane by the average human.
When you look at the lives of people like Kanye West or Elon Musk or any really successful people around you, you notice this same pattern.
Abnormnality – Beyond normalcy
This is scientifically proven from 22 years of study.
I need you to understand something, you do not need to change the world like all of these guys mentioned.
But if you want to change your family’s current situation.
If you want to be financially free…
If you want to be the first person in your family or friendship group to break free of being average, living hand to mouth, always looking at the prices before you buy a product you need, and always thinking 11 times before you can provide for yourself or your loved ones…
If you want to be successful in your own right, you have to be abnormal.
You can not keep taking the same decisions these guys are taking. You can’t keep doing the normal thing everyone is doing around you.
You can not keep listening to the average advice of people around you.
You have to set big goals and go about actualizing them in a way that your friends & family will see as stupid or at least, abnormal.
I was on a call with a mentee who told me that she just made her first $550 and she was screaming telling me that her husband never believed she could make a dollar from the internet.
Everyone around her saw her as stupid for paying for coaching and learning a digital skill.
They expected her to learn how to be a tailor or go to catering school like every other “normal” woman.
But she insisted and learnt this email copywriting thing under me.
Now she has $550 to her name.
$550 might be small money but it is HERS. She earned it and she did so going for what people around her thought was abnormal.
She had what her husband called an unrealistic expectation and believed she will make money from her home… Now, she is where she wants to be.
Science almost never lies.
If you’re still on the fence to join the PCI Coaching Program, the clock is ticking.
Kill those excuses in your head. Middle finger to what the normal people around you are saying.
You need to start thinking different.
Dare to be different and watch how your life changes for good.
Stay intentional.
Golibe.
