"[...] It [charisma] is an animal magnetism reflecting a knowledge of deep pleasure and personal power. Charismatic individuals are instruments of this pleasure, power and light-giving influence. Feeling good and shining are charismatic attributes and most people are automatically drawn towards what feels good and looks shiny. Certain exceptional individuals just know how to turn it on and express it. What is the criteria for being an "exceptional individual"? To be exceptional, you already have to to know you are. This much cannot be taught. It has to start with an innate sense of your uniqueness, like a self-aware snowflake realizing its truly eccentric nature: We're all unique and exceptional! Yes, we are unique and what else is new? Learn to wear your charisma like a necklace so it won't turn into a ball and chain."
and furthermore:
"[...] Charisma doesn't try. It simply is. It's the "it" about you. And "it" just is. This is both simple and complex. That's because charisma is "simplex". It revels in its isness. This is partly because charisma loves to exist. Charismatic individuals can never go back to being Faceless People and some of them never were that way to begin with. Either way, charisma can be nurtured by learning how to act effortlessly. This is one trick to make it effortless for others to watch you. If taken far enough, you will become irresistible to watch. Not only does charisma have a great capacity for attracting attention, it has an equal passion for giving it. Charisma is an ability to give your total, undivided attention ... without fear, guilt or judgement involved. There is a very pure quality to this kind of attention. It stems from our ability to Look and See, to recognize and be recognized."
