You’re in for a good one today, people.
Here’s some CURIOUSLY INCREDIBLE WISDOM from one of the greatest shows of all time, Seinfeld.
(make sure you enable images in your email!)
George, Elaine, and Seinfeld are sitting at the diner, per usual, when George says….
Ever thought that before? I sure have haha!
But then, Seinfeld says something extremely profound….
I’ll type that again for emphasis…..
George says…
“My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be.
So Seinfeld says….
“If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite, would have to be right….
This incredible moment sets off one of the greatest episodes in TV history…
George transforms into “Opposite George”.
He literally goes around doing the EXACT OPPOSITE of what he would normally do….
And here’s the CRAZY THING…
IT FREAKING WORKS!!!!!!!
For instance…
hahaha!!!
There are a ton more examples but I don’t want to ruin the episode for people that haven’t seen it, you should definitely go check it out….
I’ve actually used this principle DAILY in my life, and it freaking WORKS.
Let me see if I can help you implement it just based on what’s worked for me, okay?
1) If you’re already fairly hard-working/driven/successful, just do the opposite of what everyone ELSE is doing….
Obviously not all of us are like George.
For me in particular, I don’t hate my life, and I work my ass off.
So instead of being “opposite Kale” I daily choose to be “opposite of the average person.”
I do this with literally everything….
A normal person would probably think Bitcoin was a scam = I should look into it deeply.
A normal person would probably hide from confrontation with that supplier/employee/whatever = I’m going to go call them out right now.
A normal person would probably find some excuse to NOT go on spontaneous trips with his wife = Call my wife at 7pm on a Thursday and book a flight for 6am Friday to Miami….
You can do it too.
Try it.
2) It works for your feelings, thoughts, and emotions too.
I feel like crap right now, what a crappy day = Screw that, I feel amazing, I’m going to go do X that reinforces how amazing I feel….
I’m sad that X person didn’t invite me to X = I have tons of other friends let me call one of them right now.
You get the idea.
Literally just take those negative thoughts and turn them on their head so aggressively….
The key is to be DRASTIC with it.
Your brain isn’t used to DRASTIC changes, it is used to compromises….
If you drastically go the other way, that negative nancy in you will just have to lie there, defeated.
3) It REALLY works for your marriage.
Guys. Just internalize this, okay?
ALL YOUR WIFE WANTS IS TO BE LOVED.
That’s it.
(and all you want is to be respected but that’s for another letter)
All your fights?
All the “logic” that you think is behind them?
It’s all a mirage.
It’s all fake.
She just doesn’t feel loved, so she’s making up stuff to be mad about.
SO IT’S TIME TO GET YOUR BUTT INTO OPPOSITE MODE.
Yes, maybe she said something that made you feel disrespected.
The normal you would lash out, or act cold, or just avoid it.
But this is OPPOSITE YOU, remember?
Opposite you runs up to your wife, grabs her from behind, and HUGS HER UNTIL SHE RELAXES.
Seriously, don’t let go.
Love on that woman, and watch the fight literally dissolve away into nothingness.
(ladies, you can do the same exact thing, just flip it to RESPECT. He is only mad because he doesn’t feel respected. So get your opposite hat on and show some respect and watch the fight melt away)
Damn.
I know I just helped a ton of you right there haha! Enjoy! (and forward this to someone who will enjoy it)
Kale
