Framing Your Power šŸ–¼ļø

Andrew Tate, if you donā€™t know him, is fairly described as an online influencer. He refers to himself as ā€œTop G.ā€

A bit over a year ago, Tate was incarcerated in his home country of Romania on suspicion of a crime that to this day he has maintained is bullshit.

I recently watched a video of Andrew Tate talking about that situation. Hereā€™s what he said (paraphrasing).

ā€œI came out and called myself the ā€œTop Gā€ ā€” so God responded by getting me thrown into a Romanian jail cell with no actual charges, and no conviction. And I had no idea if or when I would ever be let out of the cell.

God said, ā€˜OK, youā€™re the top G? Then letā€™s find out. Iā€™m going to challenge you and see.ā€™ā€

The point of this is not about Andrew Tate or the charges against him.

If thatā€™s the first thing you thought when you read this, youā€™re the exact person who I wrote this for.

What this is about: How Andrew Tate framed the situation of finding himself being thrown into prison, with no charge, no conviction, and no tangible evidence.

Instead of framing it as most people would ā€” ā€˜Iā€™ve been victimized by the system,ā€™ ā€˜this is unfair,ā€™ ā€˜how terrible is my circumstanceā€™ ā€” instead, he instead framed it as a challenge to his mental toughness, and the status that he had bestowed upon himself by calling himself the Top G.

He took an unwelcome, unwanted circumstance, and framed it as a challenge to himself to be stronger and better. And predicted that it would improve his life and his public standing.

THATā€™S the point.

He framed his circumstance as a way to increase his own power in his own mind. Then, projected that mindset onto the world.

You, reading this right now, have some circumstances in your life that may not be ideal.

As a matter of fact, they may just be plainly fucked up.

Youā€™re not the only one. Get in line.

The question is not if you have unwanted circumstances ā€” everybody does.

The question is, how are you framing it in your mind?

Itā€™ unfair?

Youā€™re a victim of bad people / bad luck?

The world is out to get you?

Orā€¦

A test of your greatness?

A way to prove yourself?

Another opponent that will fail, just like all of your previous opponents?

This is your choice.

This framing habit happens automatically in our minds. The challenge is, what type of framing is your mind conditioned for?

Where do you go mentally, when challenges arise?

This determines how you think, carry yourself, and behave.

Thatā€™s why thereā€™s Bulletproof Mindset 2.0.

Itā€™s all about conditioning your mind for the mental toughness, confidence, discipline, and take-charge mentality that makes you mentally unstoppable in life. That translates to the behaviors that produce a steady stream of success.
