  1. @charlie2dogs That's a perfect description of love! Thank you! True love comes from a non-needy state of being.
  2. Hi people My name is Rob and I've been dealing with some small issues lately. I started my self actualization journey last year in May and I achieved a lot during those period. I became an ace studier at school and did well on all my subjects, also I detached myself from social media, videos games and TVs and dedicated all my freetime towards mastering myself. About a month ago I liked a girl in my school and started approaching her and chatting her up. The process was fairly successful because I'm a pretty confident and alpha guy with a lot of talents and an ambitious goal. But sooner or later I found myself constantly thinking about her while I'm doing my homework or reading a book and what's even worse is that I became a bit detached from my big goals. I hated that feeling, but it's hard to resist that feeling of romance. So right now I'm really trying hard to pull myself out of that state. So how should I gain more balanced between relationship and my self actualization journey? Thanks Rob
  3. Hi My name is Rob In my recent post I discussed why teens should get into personal development instead of just doing what society made "easy" to do. Personal development has been a rocky path for me, especially when It comes down to trying to navigate a young mind that isn't sure that how things will work out. I've been through a lot of challenges on my journey. One of those challenges is: being labeled weird. I remember at lunch time I always enjoyed putting in my headphones and start listening to Leo's self help podcast on iTunes. Inevitably there are going to be people who asks you what you're listening. Before, I would always say to them I'm listening to self help podcasts and people will nod and walk away. Until someone said to me once: "you're getting weird. I mean you gave up video games, stopped junk food and now you're listening to those weird stuff, you're becoming anti-social!" Before that would've really piss me off but until I've gained some perspective, things flips around. Those naysayers, are lazy people, or unconscious people. You really think they're living a life like you are? NO! You think they're having REAL fun playing video games and eating junk food? NO! Their superego won't let them go! They're miserable people themselves, they get bored easily and complains about why life not full of excitement. Not like us, we're always living on our edge, trying out new personal development tactics and reading amazing books! We're living THE CHARGED LIFE! Of course those who aren't living it will pin you down and label you weird! You'll be the one who will set yourself apart from the crowd, you will achieve amazing results and live an exodinary life, you will feel charged and excited for the whole day! But they won't, and they're jealous, unconsciously jealous. It's your job to not get pinned down by those people. Next time, don't even react. It's ok to be weird, thatd what I takes to set yourself apart from mediocrity. By the time the real kick-ass results starts to show, that's when you can say: I'VE PROVED THEM WRONG!
  4. No, not yet. Because you're mind isn't stable during puberty. If you seek sprituality you're likely to become detached from reality and experience depression. My advice: focus on building a strong ego and get a successful career. Then you can start seekinf enlightment. Rob
  5. True, but sometimes we form negative thought on ordinary things. In that way we can dismiss the thought and gain some perspective on what we really need to do about the problem.
  6. I told my parents. Somehow they're saying: you're just a teenager, don't put too much stress on yourself. Do what other teens do! But think critically about what your parents offers you. Overall, we are on the driver seat of our own amazing fulfilling life! Rob
  7. If that happens, drop all your thoughts, and feel into the emotion. Don't try to control it. Express yourself if you want. Try it out! Don't try to resist the emotion. Btw:
  8. It's never too late to realize, the scary thing is not realizing al all
