In my belief, it's not cool if you're in a committed relationship. If you're not in a relationship, sleep around and gain experience.

Hmm.. Everything is a cognitive bias, imo. We have something called P.O.A. (Paralysis of over analysis) POA is an issue with a majority of people, IMO.

I read cursing releases good stuff in your brain. That's why we curse when we experience pain. It's relieving. Leo curses in his videos and it's fucking great he keeps it 100%.

I'm not sure what you mean by free will but don't doubt yourself.

Try the sleep cycle app. It helped me. One more suggestion, stand upside down for 1 minute.

I look at pictures of homeless people. It reminds that if I don't get my shit together, I'll be a sad bum.

Stop wondering and take action now on things YOU have to do! (Studying, reading, practicing, etc)

"Happiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude." - Dale Carnegie

To get motivated, you have to work towards a goal that makes your soul bleed with joy. That's my secret.

I'd cut video games out 6 days out of the week. Use your time to work hard and grow.

You need to read more books about money. Go to Barnes and noble and visit the money section. Read all books about financial literacy, saving, etc. Break your limiting beliefs.

No. Keep your business to yourself.

I suggest taking the Myers Briggs personality test. Discover what's your type. From there, strengthen your strengths, improve your weaknesses. Lastly, meditate. Do you have a smartphone? If so, download the Calm app and use that to help lessen your constant thoughts.

Yeah, this forum is great. I'm grateful for it. Plenty of golden nuggets here.

I've spent $450 so far. On books, programs, and food.

Amazing! That's really cool you got your master's degree in philosophy for free.

Hmm. I don't know. Seems pretty radical. I wouldn't just leave like that. If you really have feelings and love him, communicate with him what you like or don't like. But, if he can't understand the person you are, you will have to leave and go on with your life. If he's going to keep clinging on and distracting you from you progress towards your life purpose, you need to remove that person. You won't be able to grow unless he's out the picture. Sounds harsh but that's how the game goes. Also, I wouldn't worry about what will happen next. Just take it one day at a time working towards a mastery lifestyle. Everything else will follow.

Hi. I want to help you. I don't like to see people suffer. First, I would suggest to stop putting yourself down so much. Stop talking about yourself negatively. You're conditioning yourself to be a failure. Instead, do the opposite. Look in the mirror and be grateful for your beautiful smile. I suggest you take a piece of paper right now and write down 10 things you're grateful for. Then, read it every morning and every night. After that, reward yourself with a piece of your favorite candy. Get in this habit and change your neuro pathways in your brain. Second, dress up and put on make up. Make yourself feel beautiful. Clean up your house and get rid of any clutter. Clutter brings in negativity. Third, if you weren't happy at you job then that's fine. Your body needs a break. Don't worry too much about money. Take this time to look at things in a different perspective. Maybe you can go back to school. It's never too late. Lastly, you need to change your vocabulary. Stop limiting yourself with negative words. Again, this goes back to reminding yourself of how grateful you are. One more thing, stop trying to fit in and getting the approval of others. Worry about yourself and your happiness! ah, one more thing, promise. If you're not a reader, try audiobooks. And just listen to a chapter everyday. Then pick your favorite quote that gives you exitment and joy and affirm it everyday! If if you take these baby steps, things will start to change. But it's up to you to choose to linger in pain or create pleasure.

It peeves me off to see throughout the forum negative words like difficult, hard, lack, impossible, give up, and more. It seems people only focus on the difficult part and fail to put in any effort/work. Everything in life is going to be difficult! Getting a job, applying for college, asking that girl to marry you in front of her dad, asking for a raise at work, asking a New York Publisher to publish your book, asking Leo to be your personal mentor, getting a shot, fighting cancer, giving birth, getting a divorce, seeking clients for your first business. Put it in the work people, it's a natural part of life! Leo did it, Henry ford did it, Steve jobs did, Jackie Robinson, Barack Obama, John F Kennedy, etc. like today, work was very difficult, working in the snow but I did it. My partner quit and did a no call no show. This generation soft!

I listen to music and I practice playing the piano. Gives me so much dopamine.

I would suggest first to discover what kind of learner are you. Are you an auditory, tactile, or visionary learner? Look it up, there's a self test to discover the best way you learn. We all learn differently.

"Difficult" Limiting beliefs right there. Self-development is challenging but not impossible. Self-development is not for everyone. That's why so many lead lives of mediocrity, choose bed over bread, lack self-discipline. Good luck tho, it's good that you realize your body/mind needs a break. Take it one day at a time, friend.

uh yeah I just get my girl whenever I'm in the mood. I rarely watch porn. I don't have to. My lady is fine af. I'm no saint either, but I rarely fap. I read some where it drains your energy, makes you weak, anxious in social settings, break out with acne, etc. the Spartans went without it. I take after the Spartans.
