High-quality mindsets
Hello guys,
Lucio introduced to me the identity of the “high-quality man/woman”. I was a bit resistant at first and now I think it’s an important concept.
There are already a few posts about being high-quality. However I think it deserves a post in the mindset forum.
Mindset
I deserve better than this
Analysis
This came from new when I learned pick-up. The idea was: I deserve the most beautiful women. Then on my journey I realized I did not because I was not myself a great mate. But now I think I am.
I think it because of all the work I did on myself and my achievements. So now I do think that I deserve the best. I don’t want a yacht or a helicopter but I deserve the best friends, colleagues, work environment, work opportunities, health. You see where I’m going with this.
I do understand that in the Western world because of all the material abundance I’m still a small fish. But the value I rate myself is high.
It’s high because I see that I’m one of the very few to put such effort to improve daily. It’s not because I’m better than anybody. I’m not. I’m mortal, I shit and piss like everybody. I’m a duck sometimes, I have my share of flaws and make mistakes on a daily basis.
What I value myself for is my sincere and continuous effort to improve over the past 20 years.
This is what gives me this mindset. It’s not an entitlement mindset (which I used to have based on bad external influences) but a deservedness mindset.
It goes back to what Lucio was saying about being a smart collaborator: you contribute AND you ask for fair rewards.
That is what I’m talking about.
This is what helped me to have the courage to put value-takers in the “dustbin of my life” as Lucio says. I also kept close family members who are value takers at arms’ length”.
It’s the idea that I deserve happiness.
And you prove to yourself through your actions that it is true indeed: you treat yourself and others well. You do your best to improve. These are the people who deserve the best in Life. Because they give their best.
Cheers!
Thanks for sharing your story man.

I believe strongly as well that the world would be a better place if everyone puts on the smart collaborator hat.
It is a key concept on this website.
And putting value-takers in the dustbin is part of that process.
It’s high because I see that I’m one of the very few to put such effort to improve daily.
I found it enjoyable to discuss the growth mindset with you, Ali and Lucio.
You shared interesting videos from Tom Bilyeu.
We all learnt a lot through these discussions.
It’s the idea that I deserve happiness.
This sounds like a good mindset towards going for therapy.
And many other aspects of life.
