Welcome to the Good Life
August 25, 2008
Watch this Kanye video:

Let’s discuss:
Watch his enthusiasm.
This song is a celebration of life - and gives you an insight into why this guy has literally taken over all of pop culture.
In a word, kanye is fresh.
He’s confident.
He’s got attitude.
He gets shit done.
He reaps the rewards.
Do you think these are attractive traits?
YES
Do you think these are things you should be taking note of incorporating into your life?
YES
More important than all of those though…
KANYE OWNS IT.
You see, it’s all about absolutely OWNING whatever it is that you are. OWNING your wants. OWNING your desires. OWNING your style. OWNING your life.
Too many guys pussy foot around and act ashamed of what they’ve got going on.
Guys with genuinely cool shit to share. Guys who are seriously cool.
Yet they roll their shoulders forward, put their heads down and let the world own them.
Who determines how cool you are?
YOU
Kanye decided long ago that he was the coolest guy on the planet.
And he owns this.
He doesn’t ask anyone else.
He just KNOWS it and projects it out to the world.
Notice that he isn’t an asshole about it.
He just celebrates it.
He gives off massive love.
He invites you into his life “welcome to the good life…”
And its infectious, everyone wants a piece of it.
And if you want to get good with women this is what its all about.
Not pretending to be a pick up artist…
But actually, genuinely, OWNING yourself.
Repping who YOU are to the fullest.
Going for what you want every day.
And not letting other people dictate to you what you should or shouldn’t be doing.
Walking with that extra bounce in your step.
That smirk on your face.
That slightly over-confident tone that the girls can pick up in your voice.
That’s what its all about.
When you truly OWN who you are - good shit just keeps happening.
You truly do live the good life.
And the haters?
Well..as kanye says…they can “watch the money pile up”.
So listen….
Go out there and make shit happen.
Turn ordinary nights where “nothing is going on” into nights to remember.
Decide what you want and get it.
Decide that you are just a total baller - internalize it 100% and go from there.
Celebrate your life.
Because if you don’t - no one else will.
But when you do…everyone else joins in.
And I promise you…
You’ll live the good life.

Got something to say?
This post reminds me of a poem as it appears in the book “Think and Grow Rich”:
“If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.
.
“If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will—
It’s all in the state of mind.
.
“If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
.
“Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN!”
Not to hate on Kanye, but I think 90% of the reason this video projects such an infectious, positive vibe is thanks to the graphic designer “SO-ME.”
He is affiliated with Justice and did this video for DANCE:
