Recently I got a terrible Ohrwurm.
A what?
An “Ohrwurm.”
(It’s a German word for a catchy song that doesn’t leave you alone.)
For me, it’s been “Starboy” by The Weeknd.
Thus, I joked on Twitter:
Can’t get that motherfucking “The Weeknd”-song out of my head. GRRRR… gosh, I know I’m a starboy ;-)

Right now I’m actually NOT sure whether that was funny, or not.
Anyway… let’s move on.
On to the next one:
YOU.
It doesn’t matter whether you also have an Ohrwurm by this song, or another song, or any song at all.
All that matters is this:
Do you want to be a starboy?
(Just in case you don’t know what a “starboy” is—TBH, I wasn’t quite sure the first time so I looked it up—here’s the top definition by urbandict: “a womanizer, a philanderer, a man who has sex with many women.”)
Does that sound interesting (even intriguing) to you?
To me, it does—in fantasy.
Because, let’s face it.
Before embarking on a new endeavor or developing a new skill set…
…We need to dig deeper.
In essence, we need to ask ourselves two specific questions:
- First, “Is this a meaningful goal?”
- Second, “Am I willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen?”
If your answer to any of the two questions above is a less than authentic “YES!” … Then, congrats, you’re screwed.
No joke.
In other words, let go of the freaking fantasy.
Instead, go after something you really want and desire.
Not something superficial.
But how do you know what you want?
Well, unfortunately, there isn’t a one-and-only-right-answer available.
If you ask, e.g., some gurus they’ll tell you to go buy one of their products, and you have the answer. (Not true.) Others may discourage you by saying nasty things/making fun of you. (Ouch!) And still others are as clueless as you are. Yet, they believe they can help you by telling you about their fears/worries/warnings/you name it. (The worst.)
Heck, even the “World Leader in Life Transformation from Scratch” (yep, that’s me) can’t give a simple answer to this…
…Except this (my advanced opinion):
You can either listen to people who have no clue whatsoever on how to improve your life (let alone inject all their negative energy in you), or to “gurus” and “experts” who pretend they want the best for you; while their only concern is squeezing as much money as possible out of your purse.
Or, you can listen to a different kind of people; people who’ve “been there done that.” In this case, people who are already living the kind of life you want to live; who are already satisfied with who they are; who have already mastered the skills you want to master; and who feel fulfilled, as a result.
And who are able to teach you EXACTLY how they did it.
Finito!
At the end of the day, you decide.
It’s up to you.
