Summary

Being “nice” is not the goal and if you’re just trying to be nice, you’re lying. You’re putting on a fake version of yourself to make people like you. I’ve said it many times: being important matters way more than being nice. This is a results game, not a nice person contest. Get important first then you can choose to be nice if you want. Show Notes:  [02:08]#1 Being “nice” is a costume.  [10:04]#2 Nice people rather be comfortable than to get to what's real.  [18:54]#3 Nice people cannot be trusted as leaders in any type of relationship.

This is Drey Baldwin, and Work on Your Game is the system that turns discipline into dominance.

0:46.4

Today's topic is nice people are just liars.

0:50.9

You're a nice person, you're a liar.

0:52.7

I'm going to explain to you what I mean by this here today.

0:55.2

Now, I've done episodes on this show in the past where I've talked about the difference between being nice and being important.

1:00.4

And I made sure that you understand that being important is a lot more important than being nice.

1:08.0

Episode number 1565, I talked about it. And then I talked about it again, most recently.

1:14.9

Episode number 3297, be important, not nice. And despite my best efforts to make sure people

1:24.0

understood this, there's still lots of people out there who think that they need to be nice as if being nice is some great accomplishment. And or you may believe that being nice gives you some moral authority over those who are maybe more important, but not as nice as you. So since you're nice, that makes up for the fact. That makes up for the gap and importance between you and them. So then I'm going to let you know, nice person. That's a lie. And you, you yourself are a fucking liar if you are trying to be a nice person. We're not in the game of being nice. We are in a results-based business. And this is a game of being important. And when you're important, you can be nice. But let me explain to you why prioritizing nice and trying to present yourself as a nice person.

2:06.4

And anything that you do, you're lying. Point number one, being nice is a costume.

2:11.6

Niceness is a costume. What don't mean about it? Everybody knows what a costume is, right?

2:16.2

People hide behind it. Costume is something you can hide behind.

2:19.3

You can be the person that you wouldn't be without the costume when you're in the costume.
