Two Keys To A More Fulfilled & Enriched Life Shogo Garcia 2015-02-17 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | I speak a lot about the importance of enjoying and appreciating our own lives more fully. The reason is because I strongly believe that whenever we are seeking to attract and connect with other people, or to communicate powerfully to the outside world, or to improve our personalities--whatever the goal may be--it is imminently important to consider how we feel about the source that is doing the "wanting": "Who is the person wanting to connect better with others?" "Who is the person wanting to be more confident with others?"If we don't know ourselves well enough to know if we actually ENJOY and APPRECIATE our own lives, how can we have any confidence that others will enjoy and appreciate our company?It's often said that, "We must love ourselves before we can love another," or some variation thereof. Certainly there is a core of truth to that saying. But--and this is a big BUT--we cannot love ourselves simply by saying it. Self-love must be true, genuine, and sincere to the core of our beings.And what better place to start on the journey of self-love than with discovering enjoyment, fulfillment, and passion in the life of the very person we are to love?Facebook Page: facebook.com/TheSocialGenShogo on Twitter: twitter.com/#!/shogogarciaContact Shogo: http://www.thesocialgeneration.com/contactSubscribe on YT: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shogogarcia Thanks for watching!

The (Secret) Quality of Attractive & Likeable People Shogo Garcia 2015-02-03 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | The poem in this video is referred to as "The Western Inscription." It actually has no real title (and is more a verse text than a true "poem"), but carries the name because it was inscribed across the the western wall of the author's library:Heaven is my father and Earth is my mother.Even such a small creature as Ifinds a little place in their midst. Therefore that which fills the universe I regard as my body, and that which directs the universe I consider as my nature. All people are my brothers and sisters, and all things are my companions.The sage identifies his character with that of Heaven and Earth. In life I follow and serve [Heaven and Earth]. In death I will be at rest. Chang Tsai, 11th c.

Essential Conversation Skills: The Power of Listening Shogo Garcia 2015-01-26 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | In my opinion, the most powerful and lasting advice is that which serves to remind us of what we already know... but perhaps have forgotten along the way.When it comes to our ability to listen to another person as a "tool" or a "practice" in mastering our conversation skills, it seems like there's so much to discuss I don't know where to start. Yet when it truly comes down to it, the act of simply listening is such an essential and fundamental part of conversation that really not much has to be explained about it at all. Think of this video not so much as providing you with any major insights or ground-breaking ideas, but a simple reminder... to pay attention to your listening :)Facebook Page: facebook.com/TheSocialGenShogo on Twitter: twitter.com/#!/shogogarciaContact Shogo: http://www.thesocialgeneration.com/contactSubscribe on YT: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shogogarcia Thanks for watching!
Are You a Good Person? A Tale of Two Wolves Shogo Garcia 2015-01-22 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | This is one of my favorite old stories about good and bad. My personal belief is that concepts like "good" and "evil" are just that--concepts. Can any person--or any "thing" for that matter, be inherently good or evil? The division between good and bad, or good and evil, seems to me to be a creation of the mind of man and as such, is brought to life by the mind of man. Please watch and let me know what you think!

What Do Women Really Want? Shogo Garcia 2014-07-05 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | What do women desire? What is it that women really want from men? How can you become a man that women want? These are the age-old questions that men have been asking themselves since, I suppose, the first men walked the earth. Of course there is no definitive answer to any of these questions... If an answer existed, we would certainly know it and the question "What do women want?" would be resolved by now. In my mind the only answer lies in a reevaluation of the very question we ask ourselves. Why do we ask the question? Where inside of us does it come from? That is the first step in discovering the only answer that matters when we ask, "What do women REALLY want?"

How to Speak with Confidence and Clarity Shogo Garcia 2014-06-12 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | The truth is that I'm not *naturally* a great speaker--I have a tendency to speak too fast, to mumble my words, and sometimes even stutter!

Why We Get Nervous in Group Conversations Shogo Garcia 2014-06-06 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | I often used to get nervous, self-conscious, and really overthink situations whenever I was among groups of people.

Once I started to understand my perspective and the limitations of how I was seeing the world and my place in it, my anxiety and nervousness in group settings slowly started fading away. In this video I share with you how my perspective has grown, and I hope it helps you make progress in your own social life!

Does Pickup Really Work? Shogo Garcia 2014-04-15 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | Have you ever picked up girls? Do you know how to reverse number close a woman? Can you DHV within the three second rule? Is your state congruent enough to escalate sexual attraction? How micro-calibrated is your reticular activation system?Whether those terms actually mean something to you, or it just sounds like complete jibberish, the problem many guys encounter in learning how meet, connect with, or just "pick up" women is that they NEVER CONFRONT THEMSELVES and face their own issues. Too many times, we seek the easy answer. The answer that lets us run away from ourselves--the same selves that we secretly don't like to look at in the mirror--instead of facing ourselves openly and honestly, and dealing with our issues head-on.It's often easier to follow the path that gives us a "goal" or "somewhere to be" or the "next level" to break through... any path except for the one that makes us confront and embrace where we are right now.Do pick up artist techniques actually work?This is what I think.

How to be SUCCESSFUL with Women Shogo Garcia 2014-03-07 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | What is it about the word "success" and its use in conjunction with the word "women?""Success" can occur when executing a business project. Or when you pass a test. Or finish a marathon.But we never say, "I'm successful with my friends."Nor do we say, "I'm successful at life."Why not? Because our important relationships, those that lie at the core of our lives, are to be appreciated and enjoyed.In our relationships with women, there is nothing to win, and there is nothing to measure. Like our relationship with life itself, these are experiences to be had a treasured, not events to be figured out.When we let go of our attachment to "get something out of it" or to "get this area of our lives handled"--when we understand that there never was anything to "succeed" at in the first place, then we are able to experience our relationships the way they are meant to be enjoyed... for the sake of enjoyment itself!Visit the Facebook Page: facebook.com/TheSocialGenFollow Shogo on Twitter: twitter.com/#!/shogogarciaSubscribe for new videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shogogarcia Thanks for watching!
Understanding Effortless Action Shogo Garcia 2014-02-25 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | Knowing when and how effortless action takes place is both a skill and an art: It can be learned and practiced, and there is significance and meaning in the execution itself.Effortless action is known in Taoism as "wu-wei", but it is a human discipline that spans various cultures around the world. The "round peg and square hole" example that I give here is adapted from a great little book called "The Tao of Pooh":"When you work with Wu Wei, you put the round peg in the round hole and the square peg in the square hole. No stress, no struggle. Egotistical Desire tries to force the round peg into the square hole and the square peg into the round hole. Cleverness tries to devise craftier ways of making pegs fit where they don't belong. Knowledge tries to figure out why round pegs fit into round holes, but not square holes. Wu Wei doesn't try. It doesn't think about it. It just does it. And when it does, it doesn't appear to do much of anything. But Things Get Done."From "The Tao of Pooh" (more recommended reading at: http://www.thesocialgeneration.com/recommended-reading) Visit the Facebook Page: facebook.com/TheSocialGenFollow Shogo on Twitter: twitter.com/#!/shogogarciaSubscribe for new videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shogogarcia Thanks for watching!

Yet often we go through the process of life waiting for and anticipating those "juicy" moments of temporary excitement.In all our anticipation for those juicy moments, we often forget (or sometimes don't even don't realize) that we end up spending most of our time in waiting and in anticipation, and very little time in actual enjoyment.All occurrences in life are passing moments--both the great moments we want to cling to and savor, and the dull moments we try to get through and forget. Sometimes this realization carries with it a great sadness, which can leave us feeling trapped and helpless. The answer is not to treat all moments as neutral and the same, so as to detach and desensitize ourselves from experiencing the beauty of life. Instead, a deeper enjoyment can be found when we allow ourselves to embrace and savor the beauty--even sometimes the painful beauty--of the entire spectrum of life's experience. Embrace the highs along with the lows in life.---Visit the Facebook Page: facebook.com/TheSocialGenFollow Shogo on Twitter: twitter.com/#!/shogogarciaSubscribe for new videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shogogarcia Thanks for watching!
Conversation Skills: How to Create a Heart Connection Shogo Garcia 2014-01-29 | This is Part 2 of How to Have Present Moment Connections. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH0GqW5EvPUSo much of our daily lives revolves around using the mind and our mental process to communicate who we are and put our lives into order. In order to truly experience a moment with another person, however, we have to let go of the process of thinking and get more into the process of feeling.

Conversation Skills: How to Stay Present in Conversation Shogo Garcia 2014-01-25 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | Does your mind wander when you're in conversation? Do you get stuck in your head, thinking about the next thing to say? Worrying about the last thing you said?Whenever we worry about how we are coming across to others in conversation, our minds run frantic. We try to think of what to say next, we think about the last thing we said, we worry if the conversation is running smoothly. In all our worries, we miss every moment at hand as the conversation unfolds, and we miss any connection we could have had. As the conversation is in a perpetual state of unfolding in the present moment, our minds feel trapped on a linear path of time, not knowing where to focus or where to rest. We lose the ability to listen, speak, think clearly... In short, we lose the ability to enjoy the beauty of the moment as it unfolds.Visit the Facebook Page: facebook.com/TheSocialGenFollow Shogo on Twitter: twitter.com/#!/shogogarciaSubscribe for new videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shogogarcia Thanks for watching!
How To Be A More Interesting Person Shogo Garcia 2014-01-16 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | The way I see it, we're really just a system of glorified tubes. We have input, and we have output: we take information in, and let information out.We are never the source of our own inspiration. We are the vessel through which the information passes. That's why, in order to develop yourself as a more interesting person and show up in conversation in an interesting and inspired way, what matters most is HOW WE PROCESS the information that passes through us.How do you process your input? How engaged are you with the world around you? Where do you find interest in things?When we explore these questions, the world of inspiration and delight begins to open, and we begin see the world with new eyes!Until next time, ShogoVisit our Facebook Page: facebook.com/TheSocialGenFollow Shogo on Twitter: twitter.com/#!/shogogarciaSubscribe for new videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shogogarcia Thanks for watching!
Should You Meet Women in Bars and Clubs? Shogo Garcia 2014-01-09 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | Bars and clubs are great for some guys to meet women, but can be a complete nightmare for others. Do you know which type you are?Bars and clubs... that's where all the "hot" women are, right?Wrong. The women you see in bars and clubs are the same women you see when you're out in public going about your day. You may just not be integrating your lifestyle fully enough to see it.It's Friday night, 11pm, you're done with your workweek and you've made the hot club in town. You're at a time and place where a lot of women (and men) gather to show themselves off, party down, and make sure they're lookin' good.For some of us, this environment can be great. For others, feeling pressured to achieve social success, being confused about how to make small talk, and striving to appear "more confident than that other guy" all become barriers that prevent us from meeting great women, even if there are a ton of women right in front of you to choose from.If you're serious about meeting someone--whether for a real connection or just a hookup--sometimes bars and clubs are just not a good fit your lifestyle. And there's nothing wrong with that: more than anything else, creating a great lifestyle will lead you to where you TRULY want to be.Visit the Facebook Page: facebook.com/TheSocialGenFollow Shogo on Twitter: twitter.com/#!/shogogarciaSubscribe for new videos: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shogogarcia Thanks for watching!

Are You Asking The IMPORTANT Questions? Shogo Garcia 2013-12-04 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | How inspired are you right now in your dating life? What are you concerned with? What do you think about? Where could you improve?We often get so wrapped up with the little things that it sucks all the life and enthusiasm out of our dating lives: "How do I show her I'm polite?""Should we split the check?" "I need a haircut." "Once I can afford a nicer car..." We're so concerned with these questions that we rarely stop a moment to consider: AS YOU THINK, SO SHALL YOU BE. When we're wrapped up in how to deal with the small questions, we live our lives in small ways. We talk about small things. And we attract people just like that. Instead, think BIG. Ask yourself the bigger, important questions. When you think big, you walk big. Your discussions and your thoughts are big.

Confidence vs Truth: What Is Attractive to Women? Shogo Garcia 2013-10-04 | What does it mean for a man to be connected to his "truth"? In this video, I was asked (right after waking up) whether women are more attracted to "truth" than they are to confidence in men. While I don't like to assume what "women" on the whole are attracted to, as every person is different in what they find attractive, I discuss what the concepts of "truth" and "confidence" mean, and how to better understand the way it plays out in our own lives.http://www.thesocialgeneration.com advises men who are single, dating, and in relationships toward a better path of becoming more attractive to the women in their lives...For a limited time, visit http://www.thesocialgeneration.com to receive a COMPLIMENTARY audio guide plus 30-page e-book.

There is No Perfection in Life (w/ Steve Pavlina) Shogo Garcia 2013-09-07 | I was hanging out with my friends Steve Pavlina (http://www.youtube.com/stevepavlinadotcom) and Amadeus Hellequin (facebook.com/announceyourtruth), and we discovered...I have a real problem!It's called perfectionism.I always try to make everything perfect. I try to make every video that I put on YouTube absolutely perfect.The problem is that perfectionism does not exist. There is no perfect moment in life. When we wait for the perfect moment, we miss the beauty of the moment that is right in front of us. Right now is the only moment that matters in life, because life only happens in the present moment.I hope that you take away something from this video. This video is far from perfect, it's not edited at all, yet I'm taking action and putting it out there for you to see anyway. Take action, don't wait for the perfect moment to come, because there is no such thing as a perfect moment. Now is the only thing that matters, so if there is something you've been meaning to do in your life, if there is something you've been meaning to say to someone, I encourage you to take action now. Don't wait. There is no time like now.http://www.thesocialgeneration.com advises men who are single, dating, and in relationships toward a better path of becoming more attractive to the women in their lives...For a limited time, visit http://www.thesocialgeneration.com to receive a COMPLIMENTARY audio guide plus 66-page e-book.

Dont Be Afraid of Rejection! Shogo Garcia 2013-08-07 | http://www.thesocialgeneration.com | If you're struggling to meet women, or if you just can't seem to ask her out or get her phone number at the right time, the most common culprit is... REJECTION! (More specifically, the FEAR of rejection.)In this video, Shogo explains what rejection really means, and why it's pointless to not only be afraid of getting rejected by a woman, but how it is actually GOOD for a successful and healthy dating and social life.For a limited time, visit http://www.thesocialgeneration.com to receive a COMPLIMENTARY audio guide plus 30-page e-book.
