How do you get more respect by going to Mensa? Is it that you tell your people your part of Mensa? |
Hi Ellie,
Good point, it does read that way. It's just that I have been getting a lot of negativism recently, the closer I get to success the more I attract. I have recently lost what I thought was a good friend to jealousy, and another will probably go the same way in a day or two. Add in there are dozens of people in the 'scene' where I am who suffer the same affliction and say bad things about me behind my back, but are nice and all smiles to my face.
The Amway speakers I listened to a lot when I first started growing said this would happen, and I am glad in a way because I know what the cause is and I know it happens to many people before and it means I am on the right track.
(Yes I do cut these negative people from my life the first time they show their true colours).
I am doing this all for me, for my own sense of self worth, for my own self esteem and my confidence grows to the point now where I KNOW that I am going to make it.
TRUE confidence is the only key to success.
I don't "go to" MENSA, I am an International member and as such we don't have meetings. I get respect by being a member because the organisation is respected in some circles. It also proves that I am "very gifted" or "genius" level IQ, which I bring up when someone is talking to me like i am dumb - usually after I verbally shame them in public.
It also helps when the next movie I am trying out for a character that is a twisted genius, as the Producer said, a dumb guy can't play that role no matter what.
