How to Disappear and Transform Yourself
## How to Shock the World by Disappearing: A Guide to Transformation in the Shadows
Ever felt the urge to reinvent yourself, to emerge from the shadows as a stronger, more capable version of yourself? Disappearing, working in secret, and committing to personal transformation can be an exhilarating journey. The goal? To shock the world with your transformation. The funny thing is, when you finally reappear, you won't even care what others think because you'll have learned that the only opinion that truly matters is your own.
This guide breaks down the process into three key parts: disappearing, what to do in the shadows, and how to reappear (or not). Messing up any part of this, especially the last, can lead to regret, so let's get started.
### **Part 1: How to Disappear the Right Way** Disappearing effectively requires discipline and a conscious effort to detach from external validation. Here's how: 1. **Shut Your Mouth:** Your mouth betrays you more than you realize. You need to get it under control. * No longer speak openly about your life to *anyone*. This includes family, friends, and co-workers. * The only exception is your life partner, and that's only if you are sure that they want you to succeed and crush it all. * Controlling your mouth will take time. * Fight the natural habit to spill information and learn to catch thoughts before they leave your mouth. * Become a mystery to everyone, and then you will be able to move in the shadows.
2. **Only Care What *You* Think:** Everyone else doesn't matter anymore. * To disappear and stay hidden, you'll have to reprogram your mind and stop caring what others think. * They likely don't care about you as much as you think they do. * Create a version of yourself in your mind that you obsess over. * Ask yourself: "Would you be proud of you? Would you be happy about what you did?" * Driven less by others' opinions, you'll be more in control of your own life. This takes practice and repetition.
3. **Hide Your Plans:** * When you develop ambitious plans, you'll get excited and want to share them. Don't. * Keep those plans close to your chest like they are the passwords to your treasure. * Each time you speak about your plans, you reduce your chances of accomplishing them. * Stop being careless and be surgically intentional. * If you need advice, find the right person, reveal only the bare minimum, obtain the knowledge you need, and disappear again.
4. **Hide Your Progress:** * Progress will come, especially when you disappear. * Don't let anyone see it. * Don't show off your improved physique, wealth, or skills. * Focus on progressing even more. * Disappearing is only worth it if it gets you through the *entire* transformation. * Going back to your old ways mid-transformation might reverse all of your progress. * Use the energy you would have used to share your progress to fuel your efforts.
5. **Hide Your Tears, Blood, and Failures:** * Crushing it in the shadows is tough. * You are going to be physically hurt and mentally fatigued. * You may bleed or cry after facing the filters that stand between you and progress. * Instead of complaining to a friend or seeking comfort from family, shut your metaphorical pie hole and bleed, sweat, and cry all by your lonesome. * Scream into the wind, let those tears flow, patch up your wounds with a first-aid kit, but do it yourself in the shadows. * Let it build your strength and character. * Let each moment of rock bottom be the moment of catapulting you to another level of performance. * Embrace that pain and even look forward to it. This is true beast mode.
### **Part 2: Transform Yourself in the Shadows** Now that you've disappeared, it's time to focus on transformation: 1. **Pick Your Targets:** What are you going to transform into? * To become something through this process, you need to know what that something is. * Be specific. * Write it down and put it up in places that you can see it (but remember, no one else can see it).
2. **Revolve Your Life Around Crushing It:** * Every waking hour should be planned to drive towards your goals. * Be obsessed. You will need the mentality that this is your one chance in life. * Dedicate your every breath to it. * Everything that you do should be intentional and should aid you in crushing it. * Move to an apartment that is close to the gym or exercise class. * Join a class that teaches you the skills needed to accomplish your goals. * Timebox your day so that you are spending at least a few hours working on your transformation each day. * Dedicate a day to looking at your plan, updating it, tracking your progress towards your goals, and breaking down the larger goals into smaller, manageable goals. * Do all that it takes.
3. **Reprogram Your Mind: Happiness is Crushing It** * You're going to have to love this disappearing act. * You will have to love crushing it in the shadows. * You will feel everything is quite strange at the beginning, but eventually, you will find yourself enjoying the pain and not being seen. * This will include a shift in your thinking and a reprogramming of your mind. * Embrace it and help the change occur.
### **Part 3: Reappearing (or Not)** After you've accomplished your transformation, you *can* reappear. But something very interesting will likely have happened along the way: * Reappearing back into society is something you won't need anymore. * If you do this right, you won't care to reappear. * You'll have now become one with the shadow. * Your life will have transformed beyond your expectations. * You will always keep crushing it and pushing toward bigger, better goals. * You will remain a mystery to most. * You'll find that you've found a calming peace in the shadows and a new life that you enjoy far greater than what you had before.
