Triggering makes you a superhero.

It literally gives you the power to control other people.

What do you call it when you control the actions of another person, just by using your mind?

I call that being a superhero.

Triggering people literally makes you a fucking superhero.

You can make people do the dumbest things in the world through sheer willpower.

The most powerful superhero are not the ones who fly, or the ones with the most physical strength.

The Hulk is strong, but dumb.

Dr. Strange, on the other hand, can control time and space with his mind.

He is the most powerful.

When you trigger people, you are mindfucking them into turning over their power and their autonomy to you, to do with what you will.

Revel in that power. Give yourself a little pat on the back for mastering how the game is played.

Let me demonstrate.

I once triggered a woman so badly that she gave away her money.

Seriously.

This person is so riled up with hate for me that she convinced herself she was punishing me by giving away her money anytime I did something she didn’t like.

So, I tweet something she doesn’t like - which costs me nothing and oftentimes gives me a personal level of satisfaction - and I gain the extra bonus of costing her money by doing things I would do anyway.

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever witnessed.

And we’re not talking a little bit of money. I have personally witnessed this person giving away over $1,000, probably even more, because she believed that would harm me in some way.

She did this to try to trigger me…but, sadly for her, she never read The Art of the Trigger.

When you trigger people, you are taking their power away, not handing your power over to them.

The whole point is to gain power, to make someone react.

You don’t make someone react to the trigger when they, themselves, control your reaction.

She set up a scenario where I was in complete control of her reaction, not the other way around.

She handed complete control of her finances over to me. I had all the power in this relationship.

I could choose to tweet things she didn’t like, and spend her money.

Or not tweet things she didn’t like, and allow her to keep it.

I was the one in full and complete control of this transaction.

And what made this better is that she actually thought she was the one in charge, which made it easier for me to spend her money for her, because she acted with complete hubris.

This person, to this day, makes many decisions with regard to her business and her finances because of me.

And she thinks that somehow means she’s triggered me, when the reality is that I’m the superhero in this particular equation.

I mindfucked her out of over $1,000 by sending Tweets she didn’t like.

That’s winning.
