LA2NY: So we’re a few short days away from the kick-off of this year’s Super Conference. My flight is tomorrow, and I’ve had some time this evening to reflect on what is going to be an undoubtedly epic weekend — a climax to what has been a life-changing 2010.

It seems like just yesterday that I was on a train into Norway, giddy with excitement about the Mr. M bootcamp I was about to attend. The bootcamp would mark the culmination of a 2-month long backpacking trip, and the starting point for self-proclaimed “life change.” On the train, I remember typing out a checklist of goals for the weekend, which primarily consisted of resolving inner and outer game issues. My final goal though, the last box, had nothing to do with inner or outer game. Instead, my ultimate goal of the weekend was to “get more involved with Love Systems.” I had made the conscious decision that I wanted to dive as deeply into the company as I possibly could.

Never in a million years would I have guessed the extent that my final goal would have been resolved.

Fast forward: I have had the opportunity to learn from the best — to marinate my brain and being in the knowledge and company of some of “dating’s finest.” The past 9 months have been hands down the most life-changing, paradigm-shifting, mind-blowing that I have ever had. Ever. There is no doubt 2010 is going in the books, regardless of how the rest of the year plays out (and I have nothing but good feelings about the next 3 months).

And on the eve of Super Conference, as I sit here reviewing my mountain of notebooks, replaying the hundreds of interactions, re-reading motivational emails from various instructors, I finally realize that all the theory, the Inner Game, outer game, culminate to one core idea:

I am the shit. Fuck anyone, and anything that tries to imply otherwise. Fuck any semblance of a limiting belief, and fuck my mind if it tries to tie together any other extrapolation of reality other than this. My sense of being, and the fact that I’m the shit, is above what anyone or anything can say or do to me.

Outer game fuels what this sense of being is capable off. Inner Game is the path to finding, being, and living this sense of self. It’s not a “mentality,” because a mentality would imply that this is a temporary state of mind, nor is it a “belief” because that would suggest this is just how your mind is tying together the world for your own personal understanding. No. It’s a sense of being, because it just is — it is as factual as fire is hot and ice is cold.

Reaching that sense of being is the pinnacle of Inner Game. Ever wonder why guys like Mr. M or Braddock seem to have confidence that is so rock solid? It’s because at the core of their being is that very idea that they are the shit. And when that idea stops being just a temporary “mentality” or “belief” and starts being you, NOTHING can phase you… let alone some random blonde clown in a club giving you an awkward face when you approach her.

So bring it, Super Conference. Bring it, Vegas. We are going to paint this town fuckin’ red.
