I think that overconfidence happened to me until I met the masters of my craft. If you think you are any good at anything, meet someone who has been doing it for 30 years. You will realise how much of an amateur you are. Sometimes I get frustrated at certain goals I want to achieve, until I see the people who have been doing it for the longest time. Then you realise some things can't be learned in a year or even a few years. They take years of mastery, maybe even decades. The fastest way for me to grow was being humble and realising how bad I am at something. Let's say you want to start YouTube. Realise how fucking bad you are at YouTube. Mr. Beast said, "You need at least 100 videos made before I'm even going to help you and give you any tips." The idea that you will be great on the first try, or that you can be good in 100 or even 1,000 tries, is just a lack of volume. To be excellent at something takes a massive amount of volume, and only through a massive amount of volume, either by putting in years of time or by increasing the amount of time you invest each day, can you become excellent. Realise how bad you are at any given skill. I don't care if you are a national champion at whatever you do: there are people way, way, waaaaaay more proficient than you. Find them and meet them in real life. You will be shocked. You will become so humble. You will realise, "I didn't have bad luck with my results. I simply was bad. I simply needed more time. I simply need more decades, more years, and more time put into it." And if you are really humble and intelligent, you will learn from the pros and take every word they say seriously. Really, really look at what the fuck they do and ask them as many questions as you can. As Hormozi says, skill is the most important thing: "if you suck at shit, nothing else really matters." And also quoting Hormozi, saying: "do so much volume, execute so many reps, and stack so many attempts that failure becomes statistically impossible." This is what it means to put in decades into one area. If you do something for 30 years, you probably are going to be better at it than 99.99% of the people. Yet are you willing to put in 30 years? Even half, like 15 years? I think if you are not, then why even try...

@Joseph Maynor yes so apply everything I said above to your life purpose, not to your hobby, and then you get the gist of it.

@Basman yes and I know, because I have been in relationships where it either was one sided love or no emotional depth as you say. Many people are superficial and many relationships are superficial, either based on lust or for transactional, status reasons or whatever.

So I had some insight yesterday, that made me cry. Now I know this is all obvious to most of you here, but due to being brainwashed by society, I kinda forgot. So I was thinking about how truly special love is. Like think about it. For someone to fall in love with or someone to fall in love with you. I might be on a hippy emotional phase or something hahaha, but listen. To have someone love you is like having a billion dollars. Because even Bill Gates can´t buy love with his billions. Imagine being Bill Gates, do you think any woman loves this nerd solely for him? In fact, his money made him more of a nerd and made it only harder for him to actually get in touch with love. Then some stupid broke retard can have a woman who actually love him. Since when has being a nerd ever worked on being attractive to women? If men get together, we are retards, laughing and doing dumb shit. Look at football games, we are like the biggest retards together, nothing intelligent about it. But a woman would actually love that retard, while this rich nerd would never even know, never even grasp what it means to love or to be loved. I was thinking back on my first relationship, I felt like she really, really loved me, which is special, like a billion euro's can't buy that not even a trillion like Elon Musk. This is why what Owen teaches about looks and money not mattering, is because you are optimizing for lust. Optimizing for the lust of money or the lust for your body, which isn't love. Okay imagine some grandma, wanting to get laid with you, because you look pretty. This is basically what looksmaxxing is. You're trying to buy love with looks or buy love with money, which both can't do it. They only give you access and leverage to superficial relationships, not deep love. I never got sobby about love like this in years hahaha, but just appreciating the fact how special love is, made me cry and needed to share it somewhere. Maybe someone got something out of this.

@Joseph Maynor if it is a hobby that is different from something being you´re life purpose or career. If you want to make the most impact on the planet, you have to take it seriously. Even if you want to touch someone deeply and effect their life positively with you´re art, that still means you become really good at doing that, which is a skill, that requires excellence. I think it is okay to be lazy with you´re hobbies, not with your life purpose or career, as that laziness will become selfish rather then selfless and being of service to others.

@Ulax everyone has its own kink I guess

@Joseph Maynor what do you mean? I don't understand

@Ulax why are you making this sexual lol, is this some weird kink hahaha

I think a good person is willing to die for something. Now this has made me respect soldiers more over the years, they are willing to die for their country. Now I wouldn't say dying for you're country is the most highest form of service. That is why we remember Jesus, who died for love, died for his mission to basically raise the awareness of humanity. Now if you are truly on your purpose, I believe you should be willing to die for it, actions over words, you can yap forever, but never do something impactful with you're life. Which I see too much on this forum, bunch of trolls and yappers. So what are you willing to die for? What are you truly willing to give your life for? What mission? And if you are not willing to die for something, but talk about spirituality, I would count you in as another zen devil hahaha, but that is my own personal opinion, not objective truth.

@Natasha Tori Maru okay I was purely focused on relationship/romantic love. Not about the love for God or love for friends and family etc.

@JJfromSwitzerland Yes and count yourself blessed if you have, many people will never have known that type of love.

@Hojo yes you can´t earn it, this is why sometimes players can play themself and therefore never get in touch with love. You can play too much and then miss the opportunity for real love.

As I am writing this I am in Kyiv. My life purpose brought me to this war zone to bring magic and smiles to the people who deserve it most. They are standing their ground for not just their country, but all of europe and the western world. Ukraine is fighting not only for its own freedom, but also as Europe’s first line of defense against Russian aggression. On the day you hear here alarms going of, shelters are found in multiple places under the city. You don't know what strength means until you visit this place for a few days and meet the people here. It is my third day of the ten days that I am staying here and already met many people. Volunteers going to the most dangerous places to rebuild homes. People here are at constant risk of losing their life, but they don't care. Almost unbothered, like true eastern Europeans, I would doubt if in western europe we would ever have so much strength during war. Life moves on, people go to the shopping mall, sit at a terrace, it is like visiting any big city. The gratitude these people have when you bring just a little entertainment to them is gonna make you cry. They really are such strong people, standing their ground, including woman who are seen as "weak" sometimes or pussy hahaha. I have seen woman here that have more balls then most men, so I will never say woman are weak ever ever ever again. Not that I said they are weak, but you get my point. May God be with Ukraine and all the beautiful people living here and with their beautiful churches, they have the most beautiful churches, you should come and see. I might do an update later this week, thank you.

@LordFall money is something, definitely not everything. My intention wasn't to demonize money, but rather to share my insight into love and its unique and rare value. You can't buy a romantic partner, to make a girl fall in love with you. Sure love in the sense of selfless service is something else. I could donate money to a charity or buy a gift for a friend, but that is not the romantic love I was talking about.

Update: it is almost time to go back home, tomorrow I will take the bus home as you can't fly out of the country. The things I have seen are very dualistic. Both great things, the woman are incredibly hansome hahaha, people are unbothered and just keep living life. It is almost like visiting any other city. The people are much more present in the moment due to just surviving day by day. Appreciating the little things and being grateful. Complaining feels so entitled after you have come here. Also it is not just a poor country as sometimes you imagine poverty with war, but there has been ferraris, prosches, maybachs, I have seen almost every luxurious brand. Just like any other city. Also a lot of people are smiling and laughing, war really makes you live day by day. Just like any other city. Now the darker side is that the russians even in big cities are still sending missles. You hear the air raid alarm going off multiple times a day. Everywhere you walk, you see people missing legs, I saw a guy who had stitches from his elbow to his shoulder and some Metal skeleton to keep his arm functioning. It is truely sad how many people get wounded, there are many deaths, but even many more wounded by the war. In the time I was hear I have heard 2 missles both at night. You never know if it is gonna hit your home. The people I met are very ordinairy people, just like meeting anyone from Europe. Yet when you talk to them you remember how the war hurts them. A guy wanted to travel to Amsterdam, where I am from, but said he couldn't as of age restriction for males from 25 to 60 to leave the country. Just something I take for granted, the ability to travel, is just gone. Another person I talked to his house got bombed as he was living at the front lines of the country. He had to flee to Kyiv and his woman and child are at a camp. At these moments you feel hopeless, you want to help them, but you can't. He told me, he doesn't want to be here, he wants to go back home. He wasn't angry, he was hurt, he lost a place that meant allot to him. I have never seen someone with so much pain. I can't even imagine what it is like to lose your job, your home, to need to have your childeren and his woman be sleeping at a camp. It is unfair and it wasn't his fault. This is the dark side of the war. On the main square there are flags with photos of all the soldiers that died. I would recommend you to visit this place, bring some light to this dark place and support Ukraine. Thank you.

Money is so important, but besides money. Why are you here? Are you here to touch peoples heart? are you here to live your full potential? I hope you are alive for more then to make a living. I hope that within what your doing there is something that is touching you, something that sparks you and others. This is why a star becomes a star, because they shine, why can't you be a star? You don't have to be a singer to be a star, you don't have to perform anything, but somewhere in you, there is a star that wants to shine and that part of you is what will heal your life and others! From my heart I wish you read this message and something deeper gets touched inside you, this is not about skill, this is not about performance, this is not about anything but you. To live fully, to experience life in its depth and not just the superficial side of life that is only about money and status. YES don't ignore basic needs, but never praise the rich or praise money, status and looks, because in the praise of the worldly you forget the reason why your here, a spiritual mission far beyond superficial stuff. And then if you live with such purpose you hear people saying daily to you "you made my day" "you put a smile on my face" when you shine others can shine too. Haters will hate, but in your grave you wouldn't care about any hater, but about all the opportunities you didn't take. I am feeling inspired to share this message, there might be one person that needed to hear this message today. God bless.

@Basman if only I was that good lol

@Basman I am a magician indeed

@glassfire I’m sorry things have been so hard for you in Ukraine. God bless.

War is in the hands of people in power, one men could end this war, Putin, but aslong as the people in power are hungry for more, I don't see war ending soon. What does give me faith in humanity is the strength of the people here. As the saying goes "good times create weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men" this is very much true and you can see it in this place so well, the bad times really only made them stronger.

Meaning emerges when you are willing to risk something for a cause greater than yourself. When things are easy, comfortable, low-stakes, how is that meaningful at all? High stakes, high risks, being able to die for real for something, that is meaningful. Don't you think it is meaningful for a soldier protecting their country? That man is willing to die for something, which drives a tremendous amount of purpose, doesn't mean you need to be a soldier, but courage is so important. Now you don't have to fake being courageous, you can be scared doing it, but doing things that are actually high risk, high stake, but not just degenerate like gambling all you're money, but more about making a statement, being willing to take a stance even when you get backlash, being willing to get you're whole reputation ruined, just to stand for something. That could mean you never get a job again, never get work again, because of the stand you're making. That is one example of high risk. Everything that comes easy in life, everyone already has, but to stand out is to take a risk no one else is willing to take, with the possibility that you could even die following this. Be a soldier for your own purpose, not just someone who takes small risks, but someone who is willing to lose it all. What is the chance for a soldier going to war and dying? Very high. Yet they still go and protect their borders, you have to respect the courage of these men and also realise how little risk you take compared to these men. What have you risked this year? What meaningful thing have you done this year? What were you willing to stand for with your whole life? We cannot be afraid to die, we should be able to live a meaningful life and risk everything for it, not for you, but for others, that is what being selfless at the highest level means.

I feel I am getting better at texting, but I always like to improve. Here is a conversation with a girl I am texting and I would like to know what you guys think. Anything I should have done differently or could improve on? I am open for feedback, give it to me. oh yeah for context sake, this is in the middle of the conversation, I don't want to share everything online, but we talked about bubble tea and a lot of other stuff fyi

@Sugarcoat Yes waste of time indeed, but I guess I am all about learning, got some different perspectives from all of you guys, so it was worth it in the end.

@Wilhelm44 realising your essence doesn´t make you less human, you're still human. You´re essence doesn´t change by a realisation, but you´re realisation makes you act as if you´re God, all the guru´s talk slowly, walk slowly as if they walk on water, when truely it´s a performance. Even on a knowledge skill we lack the infinite wisdom that God has, forget about powers, just understanding itself is what we lack, we lack so many things that God has and we don´t, actually we lack infinitely what God has in powers, in understanding, in possibilities, in its limitlessness and infinity. We are better to believe we are less than God and be in awe of how magnificent God is, than to believe we are equal to God or God itself. I am not gonna go much deeper in it right now as this topic is about Bentinho and not about God.

Watch this serie on youtube, I used to follow this guy for a long long time. Now I am finally over it after this serie came on and the truth got revealed. Truth always wins and here is the truth finally. Finally these clowns are being shown for who they really are. Never trust a guy that tells you he is one with everything, consciousness, but yet critisizes everyone around them. Bentinho Massaro has been doing so much unconscious stuff in the name of consciousness. That is why I called out gurus, as they get a free pass to be in their ego out of the name of being a `reflection` of you. Nobody asked you for advice or for healing them, but instead you decided to critisize and make people feel inferior to you, because nobody could reach your enlightened stage, your followers are always `below` enlightenment. Its like a pyramid scheme, being conscious is not that you are teaching everyone to be more perfect then you, its just about getting closer to God the truth, but you will never reach God, you will only come close to unity, consciousness, but to be in complete unity, the ego and body has to completly die, aslong as your alive your a little better then a monkey and Bentinho has been showing nothing but monkey behaviour behind the scenes. Its better to be honest about how much of a flawed monkey you are, then to supress it and look perfect in the public, yet be awful in private as that side has to come out somewhere and whatever you supress will come out as it did with Bentinho and this is why we hear these awful stories about popes and priests constantly cause they supress for the name of perfection. I think its time for a revolution, not downward, but upward. A time to say, its enough with all of these flawed teacher, lets hear about the people that are honest about their mistakes and tell the whole world how flawed they are, but how they are getting closer to God. This is why I appreciate Justin Bieber, because atleast he has been honest about his flaws and own them, that is real strength, healing, confidence and to me that is more holy then the facade that these gurus put on. Also what does this teach their followers? To aim for perfection aswell what is truely impossible? This guy expects you to meditate all day and allign yourself and anything will be fine, give me a break. If alligning yourself means to sign NDA's and stealing your followers money while using them for sex in the name of healing and devotion, then you should have told that in your teachings hahahahahahahaha. Instead of talking about allignment, talk about how you setup a cult hahahaha. To not make this a complete hate message I want to say that I did learn some stuff of him, but that doesn't give him ANY audacity to then hide behind the facade of a guru. I want to see a world where we drop the facades and be authentic, real and honest, that is where REAL growth happens, not this fake perfectionistic growth, that is trying to aim for something that isn't real. We are all human monkeys when we embrace that we are flawed, we will actually become close to God, because God is truth, God is not hiding behind a facade, God is one, but that doesn't make you God, because you don't decide when the sun goes up or down. I am excited about seeing some real teachers, my intuition was right to take a step back from all these "sinless, perfect" gurus. Fuck em.
