How To Change Your Purpose

Change your purposeI’m a massive fan of Nike’s famous slogan ‘Just do it’.

Activities are ALWAYS difficult until you start them.

Like approaching: the scariest part is always the first few steps, or the second before you open your mouth. Once you start, it’s much easier.

Decisions are ALWAYS tough until you make them.

Like deciding to go against the main stream and do something differently. It can be tough at first, but once you jump into the stream, everything is easy.

But does ‘Just Do It’ relate to changing your purpose?

Can you just change your purpose by flipping a switch?

Initially, I thought you could. I thought it was as easy as flicking a switch.

Until I tried it again and failed.

I then tried it out by coaching a few guys. Some guys got it once then failed. Some guys failed once then got it, then failed.

If it was working sometimes, but failing others, there had to be something else underneath it.

There had to be a deeper mechanism at play.

It took me nearly 8 years of personal investigation and coaching to fully understand what was going on and how to change your purpose…

…but I found it.

And here it is:

The core element that drives your purpose is called your Script.

It’s a really simple mechanism and it’s responsible for every problem you face.

It’s responsible for you:

- Being crippled by approach anxiety

- Running out of things to say

- Allowing fear to rule your life

- Not following your dreams

- Supplicating in front of beautiful women

- Getting lazy at work

- Being needy with your friends

- And just about any other problem that pops up in your life

Your Script has three key parts:

1. How you currently feel

2. How you want to feel

3. What you think you need to do to bridge the gap

Think of it like a computer script – I’m currently at point X, I need to perform this action, this action, and this action, and then I’ll make it to point Y.

It’s the same thing that’s running through the underlying layers of your subconscious.

You’re currently at point X (feeling one way) and you need to perform this action / get this outcome and this one and this one to get to point Y (feel a different way).

Whatever you think you need to do to bridge the gap will determine your purpose.

 

For example:

If you currently feel lonely, you want to feel connected, and you think you need to get approval from everyone around you to feel connected, then your purpose is going to be to trick people into liking you.

If you currently feel powerless, you want to feel powerful, and you think you need get people to do what you want them to do to feel powerful, then your purpose is going to be to get people to do what you want them to do.

But they’re not the only way to bridge the gap to feel powerful and connected…

If you feel lonely, you want to feel connected, and you think you need to be honest, open and real with people to feel connected, then your purpose is going to be to open up to people and find the ones you naturally connect with.

If you feel powerless, you want to feel powerful, and you think you need to push through fears and barriers to feel powerful, then your purpose is going to be to find barriers and push through them.

Your Script controls your purpose in any interaction with women, which then controls where you focus and how you act.

If you think you need to get a hot girlfriend to get the approval of your mates, then your purpose is going to be to manipulate women into liking you.

You’re going to be constantly stuck in your head trying to come up with ways to try and ‘get’ her and be incredibly needy because your entire sense of self worth depends on her response.

You’re going to make your interactions really safe to avoid rejection, you’re going to have massive anxiety because you’re afraid of not getting her, and you’re not going to share yourself openly because your feeling of approval rides on you getting her.

If you think you need to get people to do what you want to feel powerful then your purpose is going to be to try and control the women around you.

You’re going to be stuck in your head trying to work out ways of making people act the way you want them to and very frustrated and angry when they don’t.

Your interactions are going to be very confronting and aggressive as you try and push people around.

 

 

Your Script controls your purpose when talking to women.

And because it controls your purpose, it controls how you look at them, what you talk about, how strong you are when they challenge you, how willing you are to push your boundaries, and everything else that’s going on.

It’s the underlying core that’s creating every issue you face with women.

And it’s causing every issue you face in life.

To change your purpose, you just need to change your Script.

Specifically, you need to change the way you bridge the gap between how you feel and how you want to feel.

This is the key.

If you can change this, then everything will change.

- You can change from being paralysed with anxiety when you see a beautiful woman to curious with wonder.

- You can change from being stuck in your head trying to come up with the right thing to say to flowing effortlessly.

- You can change from being embarrassed as soon as something doesn’t go smoothly to being excited that things are different and new.

- You can change from being terrified of intimidating women to excited by the possibility of challenge.

Everything can change when you change your Script.

Think about this:

- If you could find a way to feel powerful and strong through the act of approaching rather than how she responded to you, how would it change your interactions with women?

- If you could feel deeply connected and validated through the way you share yourself with people, regardless of the way they respond to you, how would it change your interactions with women?

- If you could feel free and open through the actions you take, rather than the permission you got from people around you, how would it change your interactions with women?

The next obvious question is: “How do you change your Script?”

This is a good question.

If it’s the key to changing your purpose and eliminating every barrier that’s in your way with women, then I’m sure you want to know how.

Well, there’s something you need to do before you change your Script. You need to identify your current one. You can’t change something when you don’t know what it is.

So what’s your current Script?

 

1. How do you currently feel around beautiful women?

If you’re having issues working it out, go out to a club, find a beautiful woman, look at her, and ask yourself – how do I currently feel? What am I currently experiencing?

Do I feel shut down? Closed off? Isolated? Alone?

Or do I feel Powerful? Connected? Free? Open? Strong? In control? Worthy?

 

2. How do you want to feel?

As you’re standing in front of this woman, ask yourself – how do I want to feel? What experience do I want to have now?

Do I want to be shut down? Closed off? Isolated? Alone?

Or do I want to feel Powerful? Connected? Free? Open? Strong? In control? Worthy?

 

3. And how are you trying to bridge that gap?

This one can be a little trickier to work out so here’s a little a little progression you can use.

Have a look at the way you’re acting. Are you being free, open, honest, and real, or closed off, shut down, and fake?

What does that say about where you’re focusing? Are you focusing on what you want to do and how you want to live your life? Or are you focusing on what other people might think or you and how you’re perceived?

What does this say about what your purpose? Are you trying to create and build an incredible and beautiful life? Or are you trying to get your sense of self worth from the outside world?

What does this let you know about your script? What does this tell you about how you bridge your gap?

 

Now: how to change your Script.

This part requires a little creativity.

What’s a different way you can experience what you want in a way that means you don’t have to manipulate, use, and trick other people into giving you what you want?

How can you experience what you desire in a way that allows you to have that experience, regardless of how people respond to you?

Finding this is the key.

If you can find a different way to experience what you want, everything becomes easy.

- It won’t make you better at getting people to like you. It’ll make it so you just don’t care. You’ll be able to experience what you want, regardless of what they think.

- It won’t make her panties hit the floor as soon as you open your mouth. It’ll mean that you won’t want them to. You’ll be more concerned about whether or not she’s your kind of woman to care.

- It won’t make your mates green with envy with your amazing skills. It’ll mean you don’t care whether or not they envy you. You’ll get to feel worthy and valuable regardless of their opinion.

So, take some time to go through those questions and find your script.

Once you have it, find a new one.

Find a new way of experiencing everything you want that eliminates the current problems you face with women.

If you’re wondering what is a different way to experience what you want, here’s an article that might help you out:

Good luck!

P.S. I know how I talk about the power of changing your purpose when it comes to removing your roadblocks with women and how you won’t care whether or not they respond positively.

But I think it’s also important to mention how it changes the way women respond to you.

What you’ll achieve by changing your Script is remove neediness, clinginess, and outcome dependency.

You’ll stop being reliant on her to feel the way you want to feel.

You’ll be strong, powerful, and open, regardless of what she, or anyone else, throws at you.

So how do you think that would change your interactions with women?

If you were able to stand strong in front of any challenge…

If you were able to take any test she throws at you…

If you were able to remain a powerful and confident Man regardless of what was going on around you, what would be different?

Just something to think about.

    Nice points to think on Leigh – thanks for sharing.

    Current state [GAP] Desired state

    The GAP usually is something that can be eliminated by doing things we usually know we need to do, but no always have the personal power to do by ourselves.

    That’s why having a coach or a mentor that will tell us what to do and kick is into doing is the best solution for many. Well, at least a friend that really cares and is a notch better than us.

    • I agree my friend. Having a mentor or a coach is an incredibly beneficial tool, but action in itself is not the answer.

      Whilst it’s important (because nothing changes without action), there’s something more important that I was hoping guys would take from the article – your motivation.

      If you’re only taking action to make the world more responsible for how you feel then you’re just reinforcing the same patterns that are responsible for the lack of success that guys are having in the first place.

      I talk about this a lot in Endgame. If you haven’t checked it out, you should. I think you’d really get a lot out of it. It brings a lot of concepts together that I know you’re interested in – PUA, Deida, Buddhism. You can check it out here

      These underlying patterns have to change for the kind of results that guys really want to happen.

  2. adam says:

    Hey man, don’t really see the key here, despite your comment just above. Where’s your Motivation coming from? I think I will purchase Endgame in a bid to understand. This really does seem like the key to letting myself out.

    • I don’t get what you mean by ‘where does your motivation come from?’

      If it’s ‘where does your motivation to change’ come from then I would have thought it was obvious.

      It’s the same motivation that brought you here – to be free, open, and effortlessly flow with women.

      Changing your Script will remove every barrier you not only face with women but in life. It’ll remove stress, frustration, and pressure and make your life easy, simple, fun, and free.

      What more motivation do you need?

  3. Nigel says:

    1. I feel passive, voiceless, unexpressed
    2. I want to feel active, passionate and expressive

    Here is where I get stuck. Leigh, how does this sound?

    3. To bridge the gap I need to create again. I have to challenge myself and see what I can do. Pay close attention to how I respond to the things I make, and stick to what brings the most fulfillment to my life.

    • That sounds great mate. I think the most important part of that whole thing was that last sentence.

      To feel passion, you have to find what you’re passionate about. You can only do that when you observe the way you respond to the things in your life.

      To help you with this, I would HIGHLY recommend you take some time out, EVERY SINGLE DAY, and dedicate it solely to getting in touch with what’s really important to you.

      If you want to chat to more guys going down this path, I highly recommend jumping into the AI forum and talking with the guys there. There are a lot of guys who’ve been down this path and are on their journey now. I think you’d get a lot of support from them.

    Great post, hadn’t seen it

  5. Letmeunleash says:

    I feel

    a) Fear of getting mocked at
    b) Sad for being alone
    c) Isolated

    I want to feel:-

    a) Full of energy when i see a beautiful girl
    b) brimming with confidence
    c) be able to talk to her

    Its like every time i talk to a girl i get very anxious even after i start to talk. I just want to run away from that place. And that clearly must be showing from my face because the girls then just ditch me.

    I am struggling with this problem.

  6. johnny Salter says:

    My problem with women started when I became open and honest with them. Being my true self. They cant stand me nowI except as a friend. So being open and honest with them makes 100% no sense to me. Unless your rich or gifted of course.

    • I know you have Endgame so I’ll point you back there. Read through the final chapter ‘The Script’. I talk about this specifically.

      Being real, honest, and open as a trick to get women to be attracted to you doesn’t work because you’re not dealing with the real core issues.

      To be real, honest, open, and free with women and have great success, you need to use that honesty and realness in EVERY area of your lfie so that you actually start to deal with the loneliness and frustration that’s pushing women away.

      If you just use it as a tool to try and make women like you then you’re just going to push them away.

  7. Leo says:

    Great post, thanks!! I think that the
    Moment you see things in a different way,
    You start acting in a different way…
    And for me,the most important way to be
    A better person in all aspects is being
    100% true,the deepest true with yourself and others,but most
    People dont imagine the power of doing this…
