7 reasons why I am a god

Todays guest blogger is Manfred Davidson, bestselling author of many books about life hacks and productivity:

I recently read where us creative types (I am a writer slash artist slash he-man) have to be careful that we don’t acquire a ‘god complex’ — where we think we are god-like. No fear of that happening to me. I am not god-like — I am a god. Not ‘the’ God of course. Just a god. Here’s 7 reasons why:

1. Faith. If all those self-help books I have read (and written) over the years have taught me anything, it’s to believe in yourself. I believe in me. I have faith in me. Real faith. Just like one does with a god. And other people believe in me too. I have…

2. Followers. I have people, friends, workmates even strangers that choose their next car based on what I am driving. They also pray to me — by writing me letters and leaving comments on my blogs. They follow my teachings from my books and lectures.

3. I am better than you. Really, I am. Well at least 97.8% of you. I live in one of the richest cities, in one of the most developed countries on Earth. I am well off. I live in a modern apartment. Drive a $100,000 car. I eat well, I exercise. I look good. I have great teeth.

4. I have powers. I just have to look at a girl and she falls for me. Luckily I am ultra fit, because I need all that stamina just to keep up with what my powers constantly supply me.

5. I create things. Sure, I create books (Eg. My bestseller; ‘Productivity Tips For Losers’) and I created that 300 foot sculpture of me you see in front of the United Nations building in New York, but more than that, I create happiness. People read/see/hear my creations and it brings them joy and contentment (And a bit of jealousy as well I’m sure).

6. I have no fear. Mere mortals fear things — monsters, marriage, jobs, life — you name it. But I fear none of that. I have the world at my feet. Armies of people do what I suggest. More than a few do exactly what I demand. Power! I am fearless.

7. I can walk on water. Well skim on top of water very quickly actually. Some people call it water-skiing. And that’s kind of walking on water, so it counts as god-like doesn’t it. What? You don’t believe me? Where’s your belief? Where’s your faith?
