One of the most persistent metaphors for success, is that of a warrior. It sure sounds noble, to charge out there and conquer life. To overcome every obstacle and defeat any foe. Through sheer will power, to impose your intentions and to make life submit to you. The problem is, that for me it just doesn't work. Nor does it for millions of others. We are the lovers and not the fighters. So what to do?
As epiphany's go, one of my best is...to seduce life. I'm a big fan of seduction. The idea just gets me jumping for joy. To seduce, is to get what you want, given to you freely and lovingly. It requires a new skill set, but it sure sounds like fun, doesn't it? Admit it friend, wouldn't you sooner have success and happiness given to you, instead of having to go take it or conquer it?
"nothing is good nor bad, but thinking makes it so"
Before all you warriors come looking to impose your will on for attacking your philosophy, let it be known, I'm ok with you guys. I really don't care how you conduct your affairs. It's just not for me and my tribe. So while you are out conquering your world, we seducer's will be out seducing ours.
"warriors compete and seducer's create"
To a warrior life is a competition, that they must win. To a seducer, life is a game, that is to be enjoyed and savoured, win or lose. To a warrior happiness is delayed and then celebrated when victory is gained. To a seductress, happiness is in the process, it's the game silly! Sure there is an extra shot of happiness in the winning of our intention, but it would be a hollow victory, if the game was not enjoyable. What would be the point?
"what would if benefit us, if we conquered the world, but didn't have any fun doing it"
Seducers don't see the point in delayed happiness. That would be like delaying sex until you are old. Life is too important to be taken serious by us. Warriors are super serious on the path to victory, seducers, not so much. In truth, seriousness is terminal to us. If you find us being serious, it's probably just a game to mess with you. (big secret....we love messing with a warrior's head).
"life is the only game, where everyone gets to make up their own rules, and yet so few do and most fail"
The reason so many aspire to be warriors, is that is what they were taught, by parents, teachers and self help guru's. It is one way to win in life, but not the only way. I believe life seduction to be a lot more fun, easier and more abundant. Secucers know the importance of how the game is played and are constantly alert for ways to amp up the fun. We love surprise and unpredicatability because we are as flexible as a breeze.
Perhaps it's time you reconsidered your attitude to life and joined the fun team. Don't worry there is always room for one more seductress as our path is the one least chosen. Oh sure, the warriors laugh at us because we are different, but we laugh at them, because they are all the same!
