Hey guys, I'm Tempus. And here's my story.
I had used
DYD products since I was 19. I simply used the e-Book and the
DYD videos and VOILA I had a girlfriend. I made the terrible decision that I knew everything there was to know... typical teenage years
I was a very energetic guy with the deep-routed belief that I was invincible. No rejection or physical feat was out of scope (within reason, of course). I wrestled and rock climbed as hobbies and, when times were down, I would rock climb just for the flush of energy that would flow through my body for accomplishing such a grand feat.
Well, three months after meeting her, my gf was acting strange, saying that one of our trusted friends (a guy) said that I was saying things about her behind her back. I fell for it all line, hook, and sinker and became the worst AFC you could imagine. Well, long story short, one night I was chasing after my crying gf, afraid that she was going to hurt herself (I was too naive to see that I was being played). I was struck by a car in the hip by a drunk driver and then, promptly, broke up with my girlfriend.
The only thing I did right was tell her I didn't want friends like her.
Without the ability to play sports for a while due to a bruised hip bone, I was confined to simple tasks like walking. I couldn't even go for a jog without hurting, so a HUGE part of my identity was broken, as I took pride in my limberness.
I lived on campus and rumors were spread. I basically lived in a very toxic environment for about a year. The same guy who was telling her this "relationship advice" wound up hooking up with her in her vulnerable state... and then I was told by my "friends" around me that I had no right to be angry and that I was basically a creepy chump who would never be successful with women.
I believed them.
There's a lush nature reservation near where I live. One night, I was at my wits end and hiked out to my favorite rock face. A waterfall flowed alongside the craggy mountain. It had just rained the night before, so the waterfall was flowing mightily. The mist could be felt off my face. I started climbing the jagged rock face... showing myself that I could STILL do anything I wanted to. I still remember reaching for that one cone-shaped rock as my hip gave way. I grabbed on tight to the rock, hoping it would suffice.
It came loose. I was hanging on the rock face by one arm all scratched up on my right side. It was dark in the middle of the forest, so I knew no one was going to hear me. So much for thinking things through. The thought of the car slamming into my leg flashed through my mind... the failure... as I fell into the darkness below and fell deep into the reservoir below the waterfall.
Ironic. I had just watched "The Count of Monte Cristo", too.
I woke up a bit later floating in the reservoir and pulled myself onto the rocks that accompanied the shore. I looked up into the sky where I could clearly make out bright stars and the partly covered moon. I questioned why I was still there... alive... looking up at those gorgeous stars and moon...
Then I remembered my condition. I felt myself over for injuries. I thoroughly checked my scalp, my neck, my backbone, my ribs, then my limbs. Nope, other than the scratches on my right side, a few pains where I had struck against rocks on the way down, and left bruised hipbone (which was already there), I didn't have any bad injuries. I got checked out later that week and all I had done was just agitate my hip bone. That night I knew there just HAD to be a reason I was alive. I'm a bit agnostic, so I didn't think of it in a spiritual way. I knew that the state I was in was no way to live and had set out to change it.
One traumatic experience made me lose hope, another gained it. I have made a 180 degree turn in my attitude.
I've studied Psycho-Cybernetics, "dark psychology" (involving certain subconscious facets), and other sciences for about two years alongside of
DYD and MM products. As a result, I ran into debt, but it's the best choice I've made for myself yet.
