You Are a Badass at Making Mone - Jen Sincero

superconfident person who believes in something without a doubt is a force of nature that can inspire
you to reach great heights.
I used to go backpacking with these friends of mine who would take me out into the middle of
nowhere in the wilderness areas of southeast Utah on a regular basis. How they knew where the hell
they were going and how to get us back was an utter mystery to me. We’d set off through a canyon,
walk out onto a huge expanse of sand, climb over endless boulders, hike up a river, pick our way
through a wash, and then five days later, boink, we’d pop out right where the car was parked.
On one of these trips we hired a lady who ran a jeep operation to drop us off at the mouth of some
canyon. When we met her at her garage she told us there was a big hatching of rattlesnakes in the very
canyon we were going into, and that the place was crawling with them. My friends are listening to
her, completely unfazed, as they load their things into the jeep. I’m squirming as if I’m watching a
horror movie and the soon-to-be victim doesn’t realize that the call is coming from inside the house.
She said rattlesnakes! Hatched! Lots of them! In our canyon! This woman knew some shit, she was
as craggy and leathery as the canyon walls themselves, but my friends just let her finish her little
snake story, as if having to endure her describe the cute thing her dog did that morning, before asking
her if there was any water to be had down there or would we have to carry our own in?
I totally trusted my friends and had complete faith in them, so if they weren’t scared of spending
their last moments on Earth with rattlesnake venom pulsing through their veins, I wasn’t scared. And
off my faith and I leapt into the canyon behind them, emerging six days later with nary a bite nor a
rattlesnake sighting.
Faith is contagious.

THEY UP YOUR GAME
If you’re around people who are making money in great and joyful ways, you’ll not only see what’s
possible for you, but you’ll be motivated to push yourself. If you’re around people who are ripping
bongloads on the couch all day, you’ll feel like a hero for getting your laundry done.
Healthy competition is a wonderful thing. Surround yourself with people who are bringing their A
game and you will want to bring your A game too.
THEY MAKE YOU MIGHTIER
There’s a great story about an army that’s about to cross a bridge, and the captain tells his soldiers to
walk out of step with one another because if they’re all in sync, the momentum will make the bridge
do that crazy bendy thing that bridges do right before they snap. People in motion moving together in a
