I think I was looking at the term ‘happy’ too literally. I mean
on the whole my day is pretty mundane. I wouldn’t really describe myself as happy when I am cooking, or watching TV or whatever... would you guys?
To clarify, I am not a miserable person. I am a very well rounded chap. If I must describe my state as anything, for the most part I am emotionless. Which I would say is the pinnacle of inner game.
That's a poor outlook. Emotions are what connect people, especially women, so if you're emotionless, you're not gonna be making any strong connections. Also, the "pinnacle of inner game" would be being happy with who you are and what you are doing at any given moment IMO. My inner game has drastically increased, just because I don't look at things in a negative light very often. Even if I'm talking about how shitty my day at work was, I've still got huge grin on my face and I'm telling entertaining stories and feel good about the accomplishment of completing the tough jobs.
Just try feeling positive about things as much as possible and you will notice a drastic improvement. I don't care if I'm watching tv, or playing videogames with my friends, or working on my game, I'm happy, because I'm experiencing life and having a great time making myself better and happier, which just makes me happier. It makes you a tough person to oppose or to slow down with shit tests and bitch shields, which makes you highly attractive. Again, the pinnacle of inner game, is happiness, not emotionlessness. I think you are confusing emotionlessness and being able to look at things from a detached perspective, which IS a very important part of inner game, because it helps you critique and examine yourself and others.
