LAW 34: Be royal in your fashion: act like a king to be treated like one.

People will tend to treat you as you treat yourself.

Mind is patterned by the environment, but also by itself. Every action, thought and utterance matter more than you might suspect.

1. When strangers first meet, two things determine the outcome: demeanor and genetic expression.

You can shape both deliberately, but you will get an early harvest of low-hanging fruit by focusing on your demeanor first.

If you shape how you carry yourself, you will shape how people treat you on a deeper level than any cheap tactic.

You do this in two types of ways:
– Learning specific social skills: style, etiquette, language etc.
– Programming yourself to Be according to your Vision.

2. If you feel poorly about yourself, people around you will infer that from your behavior sooner rather than later.

It's what "mirror" neurons do.

Fake it till you make it – because you can't fake it forever.

3. Mirror neurons don't just simulate how people around you feel and act.

They reflect your own thoughts, actions, emotions and however you may imagine yourself.

The third-person perspective on your life is a major Power of Mind.

4. Use the mind to shape the mind. Think of yourself and treat yourself as you want to be thought of and treated.

The deeper this mental imprint, the more your unconscious will engage in replicating and projecting it effortlessly.

Never think of yourself like you don't want other people to think of you.

In your inner monologue:

– Never self-deprecate, mock or ridicule.
– Never blame yourself or call yourself names.
– Never pity yourself or regret your actions.
– Never say you "need" something or someone.
– Never ask yourself to accept less.

See the pattern already?

5. Your self-treatment and demeanor when you are by yourself shapes how you present yourself among others.

Design every act of your private life to fit the godlike being you want to be – from how you use the shower to the quality of your underwear.

Learn not to settle in everyday decisions from the toothpaste you buy to the takeout you order. Be absolutely intolerant about getting what you want.

Learn that an inferior product is not a "lesser" version of the one you want. It's something else you do NOT want – and do not buy.

If you want something you can't afford, don't buy on credit and don't buy an inferior knockoff.

You don't want the product AND debt. You want the product.
You don't want another (lesser) product. You want the product.

Save the money you need to buy exactly what you want.

6. Frame every bit of critical feedback not as "how I failed" but as "how I can get bigger and better".

This will make you both more receptive and more effective in finding ways to apply it.

7. EVERY DAY read the only newsletter that's designed to brainwash you into thinking of yourself as a god.

Feel your Power grow.

Or don't.
