14 tiny behaviours that make people instantly respect you more

- thread -

 1. Talk less.

Speaking less demonstrates comfort in one’s own skin if coupled with a relaxed demeanour and adds to your sense of mystery.
2. Be relaxed and move slow.

Quick movements and fidgeting make you appear nervous and thus lower status.
3. Hold people’s eye.

Nothing says ‘I’m confident and I am interested in other people’ than holding someone’s gaze, especially for a little longer than might feel comfortable.

👀
4. Talk boldly.

Occasionally say something that needs to be said that no one else is daring to say.

Speak your mind honestly.
5. Demonstrate emotional control.

Reactive people don’t leave space between a triggering stimulus and their emotional response.

Remain stoic.
6. Be undistracted.

How refreshing is it to see someone speaking to someone who is actively attentive?

It is becoming rare.

Instant respect.
7. Be less available.

You don't always need to be there or respond to that text instantly.

The more scarce anything is the higher its perceived value.
8. Be weird.

If there was one way to have people fall in love with you, it's to follow your weird.

Allow your quirky, fun side to come out.
9. Actually listen.

Give people the space for you to process what they say properly.

Allow a few extra seconds.

This is rare and will set you apart.
10. Dress well.

The seemingly superficial can make a huge difference.

Dress well and you will feel better and create an entirely different impression versus looking scruffy.
11. Talk a fraction slower.

Talk slower and you will calm down, elevate your perceived status, and garner respect.
12. Stop trying to impress everyone.

Pleasing people does not lead to increased respect.

Instead, be valuable and serve people when it’s appropriate.
13. Take up more space.

People respect those who aren’t afraid to take up a little extra space.
14. Give without expectation.

Most people are running around giving things to people with expectations tied to their ‘charity.’

Be different.

Grow your tribe by giving value to one person at a time.

10 tiny behaviour shifts that will raise your mood by 93% (i’m not even kidding)

1. Slow down a fraction.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: slowing down makes life easier and thus more enjoyable.

This doesn’t mean pottering along like a sad little tortoise.

I mean going fractionally slower so that you can view life in full 4K, not black and white like everyone else.

In a world where everyone is rushing around, this gives you a wicked advantage.

2. Be goofy.

Most of us shuffle around with a stick up our ass, wondering why life’s so hard.

YOU made it hard, dum dum.

You gotta be loose and fun to experience a looser, funner life.

The reason people are all serious around you is because of you.

You created this reality.

Create a fun frame, and people will leap into it.

You’ll feel like a badass chimp with a zest for the good life.

The 8 traits of the most fearless people:

Fear and I have formed a very intimate relationship over the years.

When Valentines comes around, we even like to share gifts.

I never used to like Fear.

In fact, I believed her to be intrusive and, quite frankly, rude

But now our connection is stronger than ever.

She has taught me more than I could ever ask for.

I learned what it means to navigate the world boldly.

Here are the 8 traits of the most fearless people:

1. They use Fear as a guide.

Frightened people and fearless people use fear very differently.

Those running scared see fear as an indication of what to avoid.

Life can often seem relentless and exhausting.

I know what that's like.

Here are 10 timeless ideas that will instantly strengthen you:

🔆 Nothing can hurt you when you know you have nothing to protect.

Self-esteem is an illusion.

You can't damage what is made up.

You are unfathomably bigger than the idea you hold of yourself in your mind.

🔆You were already a success the day you were born.

Life is a miracle, and getting here means you already won.

Allow the time you're alive in the world to play, to create and to thrive from a position of realised strength.

🔆 Any criticism you receive may seem like an attack.

But the perpetrator is always attacking themselves.

It is always a projection rooted in personal insecurity.

It is never about you.

They are resisting their thoughts about you, not you.

7 outrageous tips that will save you time so you reach your goals 5x fast:

You're not alone if you seem to waste time each day, even if you're ambitious and want to get lots done.

Many of us could use some refreshing ideas on how to make the most of our time, like these:

1. Focus on your next three.

You're holding the things you think you need to get done in your head all at once.

This overwhelms you.

But it's in the mind.

In reality, all we ever have is the one thing right in front of us.

So pay attention to the delicious beauty of the present moment.

Identify your next 1-3 priorities.

Don't think them. Write the suckers down.

That's all you need to know to have a fighting chance of being one of the most productive people you and I know.

2. Make friends with boredom.

So many of us get one whiff of boredom, break into a sweat, and immediately throw on Netflix.

Then we proudly shout from the rooftops: 'I'm rarely bored! Look at me! I'm living my best life!'

Shut it, Sally.

11 tiny habits that lose you respect:

Decades of awkwardness compelled me to learn and understand what connects us to one another and what pushes us apart.

People make judgements extremely quickly about the kind of person we are.

This means there are subtle changes we all can make that impact how others see us.

Let's go:

1. Too fast to agree.

If I'm speaking with someone, and they nod along enthusiastically to all that I say, and they rarely disagree, I can't help but lose interest.

This doesn't mean you need to be combative and unpleasant.

But agreeing to everything and everyone is like adding water to paint.

It dilutes who you are in my eyes.

How to Win (without talent or luck):

Operate in Your Zone of Genius

Your Zone of Genius is where your interests, passions and skills align.

Operating in your Zone of Genius means playing games you are uniquely well-suited to win.

Once you identify it, you can stop playing *their* games and start playing *yours*.

Adopt a Positive Sum Mentality

Want to get ahead in life? Start genuinely rooting for others to succeed.

When one of us wins, we all win—winning spreads.

If you adopt that mentality, you’ll become a magnet for the highest quality people.

Speak Up

Closed mouths don’t get fed.

A little push goes a long way. Don't sit back and wait for good things to happen.

If you want something—and you’ve put in the work for it—ask for it.

Worst case: you’re told no and nothing has changed.

Best case: it’s yours.

Play Long-Term Games

Life is the ultimate long game.

Those with low time preference play it more effectively—they happily delay gratification to allow compounding to work its magic.

In a world of people seeking instant gratification, this is a meaningful edge.

10 Important Life’s Lessons You MUST Learn
before You're 30

| Thread


1. Putting yourself first isn't selfish.

You have to put yourself first to achieve anything significant in life.

This does not mean betraying people or taking advantage of others.

It simply means doing what is a priority for you before you commit to other people.

2. Be conscious of the people you spend time with:

Your association determines your acceleration.

Remember this saying by Jim Rohn,

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

3. Get rid of Bad Habits:

In your 20s, you’re under a great temptation to try things.

Whether it's a poor sleep cycle that you've acquired over the years or it's your excessive smoking tendency

You need to get rid of bad habits now or they’ll destroy you in the nearest future.

4. Don’t take anything for granted

We often don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone:

- your health
- your family
- opportunity and friends

Nothing in your life is guaranteed to be there
tomorrow.

The spiritual path, a thread:

The spiritual path is not for the faint of heart.

It is both the toughest of life’s paths and the most rewarding.

All journeys are unique.

But all lead to the same place: total love and oneness.

The path requires alignment of mind, body, and spirit.

All are a part of You.

One without the other leads to imbalance.

Recognize and nurture all aspects of You.

I’ll show you how.

1/ Mind

Your mind is trying to process all available information to protect you.

The problem: it gets tripped up.

We live in a world of constant fear-based stimulation.

Most of modern society is designed to feed and profit off of your mind.

1.1/ Pause your mind

This is effectively what meditation is and why it’s so powerful.

Some meditators use a mantra so as to have one repetitive thing to repeat.

This helps unwind cyclical thoughts.

It breaks the mind free from it’s shackles.

It stops the churn.

Technical Analysis Masterclass- Part 2

'Entering the trade'

Entering a trade without ascertaining a certain things is gambling.

In this masterclass we will learn the pre-requisites to enter a trade.

DON'T ENTER A TRADE WITHOUT DETERMINNG THE FOLLOWING.

Please share.

We understand what reward to risk (popularly called risk to reward) is.
It will be denoted by R:R.

We will also try to bust a few myths about R:R and how to avoid losing trades.

Before entering a trade, you need to determine 3 things.

1. Entry trigger
2. Stop loss
3. Target

1. Entry trigger = Reasons for entering a trade. There could be multiple reasons or a single reason for entry.

Generally a set of reasons AKA confluence is a higher probability trade and a generally a safer entry.

Example of an entry trigger.


2. Stop Loss.

The price in the opposite direction of the trade where the trade is exited, at a loss.

At this level, the reason for the entry becomes invalidated according to TA and the price can then move in the opposite direction, probabilistically.


3. Target is the possible price level that the asset might touch based on previous trends or confluence AND where a possible reversal could occur.

Target is the next path of least resistance from where the price might reverse.

We will always ONLY use TA to determine all 3.

🌿𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓 : 𝑫𝒉𝒓𝒖𝒗𝒂 & 𝑽𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒏𝒖

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.
#talesofkrishna https://t.co/E85MTPkF9W


Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.
#KrishnaLeela


The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"

Eri Katha Ramar Temple
Maduranthakam

Eri Katha Ramar temple is located at Maduranthakam near Chengalpattu of Tamil Nadu. Beautiful Kodanda Ramar of about 8ft holding Ma Sita's hand & with Lakshmana. This temple story is connected with Sri Ramanujar.
@LostTemple7


It was here Periya Nambigal performed Pancha Samskaaram to Ramanujar under Magizham tree.
Sri Ramanujar was on his way from Kanchipuram to meet Sri Periya Nambigal at Sri Rangam to become his disciple. Sri Periya Nambigal also started towards Kanchipuram to meet Ramanujar.


They both met here at Madurantakam.
Small Mandapam where Ramanujar undertook Pancha Samskaaram is seen in the temple. Separate sannidhi is for Periya Nambigal & Ramanujar & this is the only temple where Ramanujar is seen as a Grahastha (married person) and not in Sanyasa kolam.


Story says about an incident which occurred during British rule. The Madurantakam lake bund was about to breach, due to heavy rain & village will be flooded if it happened. Dt collector was Cl. Lionel Blaze who took efforts to protect the bund & asked for the piles of stones


in the temple to protect it. But it was meant for Janakavalli ( sita) Thayar sannidhi which faced shortage of fund. Lionel Blaze prayed Sri Ramar to save the bund and if so he will provide fund to construct.
That night he saw in the lightning, Sri Rama & Lakshmana walked along
