Don’t Be Beta

A beta type personality lacks confidence, hesitates or delays decisions, possesses low self esteem, and many similar traits. Their generally unhappiness and boredom from their work in repetitive jobs tend to make them followers. Betas are incompetent leaders.

I failed my first attempt to obtain my driver’s license. I passed the written exam, but failed the parallel parking portion. The examiner and I never left the parking lot. I was embarrassed, ashamed, and humbled by failure. I went home, set up traffic cones, and practiced until I could parallel park with confidence. Preparation breeds confidence.

False pride from the high confidence displayed by Alphas may seem attractive. Consider this, their confidence may come from preparation. The sales pitch, the presentation, the “pick up lines” to a woman at a nightclub, those things could have been prepared for. The Alpha may have practiced those things behind closed doors, before leaving their dwelling.

It may be possible to transform oneself from Beta to Alpha, it may not. What I’ve proposed are some byproducts of traits commonly attributed to Alphas. I’ve begun highlighting Alphas as opposed to Betas for another reason. “Human thoughts have a tendency to transform themselves to their physical equivalent.”

Starve the thoughts of Betas. Do not focus on what you do not desire. Direct your thinking towards that which you desire. Read my list from yesterday, Living In It, and follow the directions.

Don’t be a Beta. Be an Alpha.

Today, Tuesday, August 2, 2022, i am grateful that:

I’m writing to my reader. I’m aware that my struggles are not unique. The majority of mankind go through life without living. I’ll do my part to assist in their journey and offer an example to joyfully follow.

My lists are morphing into something a bit different. Things evolve and to inhibit the transformation would be unwise. We’ll see how this evolution benefits others.

D.C. and I got a chance to speak yesterday. He’s insistent on moving forward. I’m insistent on preparation. I’m not entirely positive, but I’m certain there’s a middle ground which will yield a significant harvest.

I’ve become accustomed to the seasons. Timing is everything. We must know our seasons. I’m so pleased to know and live within my proper season.

Who wrote the quote earlier?

What traits of Beta types can you lessen?

How can you improve your Alpha characteristics?

What things could you do today to improve those traits?

Write them down.

Do those now!

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
