The Tao of Cool

What is cool? What does it mean to be cool? Can anyone be cool or is cool reserved for only a lucky few? Can you buy cool? If you own enough cool things will you become cool? How do we recognize cool? Why is cool more attractive to women?

I don't want to confuse being cool with being alpha. Although you can be both at once, they are different. Alpha means being in charge. But, the guy in charge isn't always cool. Cool is more than alpha. Although the real alpha men are almost always cool.

Let's think about what cool is. Cool is relaxed. Cool is comfortable. Cool is confident. Cool is feeling secure in your place in society. Cool is knowing you are in a place of abundance. Knowing you have everything you need to get anything you want. Cool is knowing you are not lacking anything. You are complete. Cool is acceptance of yourself and who you are. Most importantly, cool is getting out of your own way and doing what you know you need to do. When you re cool you don't have to worry about being alpha because it will take care of it's self.

Cool is not what you do or how you act or what you wear or the things you own. Cool is who you are. Cool is not your job. Cool is how you view yourself and your attitude towards the world around you. Cool is also allowing others to be who they are even if you don't agree with them or their lifestyle.

So, can anyone become cool and if so how do you go about it?

The first step to becoming cool is to take an honest look at yourself and understand who you are deep inside. This is harder than it sounds. You may need a close friend to help you. Just remember whatever he says is not an insult. Don't become angry. Allow it to sink in and learn from it. Then you have to accept it as part of who you are and stop pretending you're something you're not. If you're shy, be shy. If you're outgoing, be outgoing.

Another important aspect of being cool is understanding that not everyone is going to like you. Some people will like you and some won't. So, forget about the ones that don't like you and focus on the ones that do.

Cool people don't try to make up for their shortcomings. They understand that no one is perfect and that it's our imperfections that make us unique and special. Perfect people are boring. So, celebrate your flaws.

Cool people understand their gifts. Your gifts are the things you love to do. The things you've become good at through practice. Do you draw or play a musical instrument? What are you good at? What are you passionate about? Without passion life is nothing. Travel perhaps? If there were no women in the world how would you spend your free time?

When you become cool women will approach and open you. You will radiate a confident, relaxed vibe women will find irresistible. They will chase after you and hang on your every word. They will want to sleep with you and be disappointed if they can't.

Now, let go. Let go of everything you worry about. Give up fretting about that girl you have a crush on. Forget about all those people that make fun of you. Be calm and empty your mind. Sop thinking and just be. When you are like that everywhere, all the time you will be cool.

Be cool
