TAKE THE QUIZ: https://bulldogmindset.com/bulldog-quiz-podcast</span></p> <p> </p> <p>Hello Bulldogs! John Sonmez from Bulldog Mindset Here, where I teach you how to go from the Victim Mindset to the Bulldog Mindset.</p> <p>TodayIi'll be responding to a question from one of my active subscribers Grant C., about Masculinity, achieve things and motivations in life.</p> <p>Grants asks:</p> <p>Hey John.</p> <p>I have E-mailed you a few times now. I'm Grant, an avid follower of yours who really enjoys hearing what you have to say... I am serious, I literally tell myself in the back of my mind on a daily basis, what would John do in this situation, trying to associate your prospective thoughts together.</p> <p>Although I don't agree with you on everything. you are someone who I aspire to be, being a different version though, not EXACTLY like you of course.</p> <p>John, A am having a deep sense of trouble in questioning who I am as a person. No victim mindset here, but I feel like most of my peers in college are just not at the wisdom, or even WANT to develop some sort of Bulldog Mindset... I am not saying everyone has to be a self-dev guru, but my motivations and aspirations in life are beyond the college years.</p> <p>I want to develop my social skills, become a better man (just bought The Rational Male), and understand what being a real man is like... so I am not saying the party scene is completely out and I think it's bad to be in the party scene... I just aspire to really maximize my blessings, my gifts, and all the things I have been given in this world to a maximum.</p> <p>Is my thinking wrong here man? You talk about this a lot, not living by other standards. Hell I created a damn video on that about women and related cybersecurity (you've<br /> seen the video).<br /> My own mother and father, who are mostly supportive, have told me that college is the only way and that I should simply have fun as I am in college, and stop focusing on my career so much, "joing the Greek System Grant!" Again, I focus on my career and build social skills at the same time. I can't do it though man. It's in my nature to be and continue to be someone who goes for it... I feel like it's my responsibility to finish college as they are funding it too.</p> <p>My heart is not in college, I have found and identified gap in this industry, cybersecurity. The degree is a waste of mu time. I don't just say this either, I wake up at 5:30 AM and bust my ass to ensure I am an action taker and not one of "those" who is coming up with BS. I know, however, sometimes you just got to do both until you have the results to back you up, until then, you have to be in college?</p> <p>For girls, this definitly sounds like the scarcity mindset, but i am more mature than them (and I am in no means superior at all), just a little bit further along in my maturity: I am thinking about myself as a man and not a boy who goes to parties and smokes Weed. I don't watch porn and I am not in the hookup scene, I am in need to be patient with that.</p> <p>Parts of me, want to buy a one-way ticket with a backpack, laptop, two or three pairs of clothes, and really, truly understand who I am as a person...</p> <p>I know this totally sounds like self-doubt: Should I just stop doing att of this, stop listening to you, stop with the YouTube, stop with the website, and get my college degree, and just be that "normal" guy ...</p> <p>Long E-mail: I know ... If you ever get the chance to read this. thank you ....</p> <p>I have attached my 2019 goals if you were curious...</p>
