@TheAvatarState I mean this question in the sense of what your measurement of success is. Is it wealth? Happiness? Feeling peaceful? I think you can change and therefore choose that.

How do I know if I genuinely like a girl and want to be friends with her or if I'm just lying to myself, having the unconscious desire to just wanting to have sex with her?

At around 39:00 Leo says that the conscious mind is not our primary thing and it depends on our emotions. We don't have a conscious mind without emotions. They are the foundation and they control our conscious mind. Can you please explain this to me?

@ajasatya Wow thank you very much for offering this, I really appreciate it. I will contact you in the next two days because that's when I'll be thinking more deeply about this topic.

@zambize That's not what she's looking for, she's got a boyfriend. Lately I feel frustated in her presence. Maybe being on NoFap doesn't help, too. Thanks for you reply btw

@okulele Looks good, thank you!

Just today I've gained a real interest on this topic and want to learn about it. Can you recommend any books? Thank you

I'm currently 19 and feeling like I already "wasted" a bit of my teen years. While I did work on myself and enjoyed it a lot, I think I would regret not making more memories outside my room and having a some typical youth experiences (partying, festivals, sex, doing dumb things etc.) What do you regret not doing in your youth?

@Bluebird thank you

I seem to suppress sexual energy. I recognize that because of tightness in my stomach which goes away when I think sexual thoughts. I'm also on NoFap and it happens especially around a particular girl. How can I always let this sexual energy flow?

@VictorB02 Do you think it helps more remembering and internalizing it than writing it down?

@Rilles I will, thanks!

@VictorB02 What do you mean by an audio recording of your notes?

@Rilles I'm not sure but I think I remember things better when not writing them down. It's like my brain thinks it doesn't have to keep it because it's externally saved. But not taking notes feels wrong, so I don't not what to do.

I have this friend, who I wanted a relationship with. Since one year we've just been friends, best friends. During that time there were a lot of up's and down's emotionally, asking myself if continuing this friendship will bring more happiness than leaving it. I have the feeling that she likes me more on a friendship level than I like her on that level. I don't want a relationship with her anymore, but the romantic feelings are still there. I don't want to lie to her and pretend to be something that I'm not, which I've been feeling like lately. What should I do?

I'm gonna turn 20 in a few months, any advice?

@outlandish Does the damage occur even by just partying a few times a year?

@outlandish I can still pursue other relationships. I think I'll give it some time and see what will happen when I get into a relationship. Thank you very much for your answer!

@Kevin Gueug Yes I think so, too. Let's keep the thread going!

@Jed Vassallo Hmm yeah I'm currently neglecting those aspects of life. Are you sure I will regret not changing that? Why not live your whole life in higher consciousness?

@Sahil Pandit I'm currently working on my morning routine. What's yours? And thank you!

@ivory Thank you! What would be an example of a creative outlet?

@Alex Oh yeah true! When you start now, in 10 years you will be very good at that skill. Thank you!

@Mike Bison If you mean the boyband, yeah, I heared that it's a direct path to enlightenment.

@TheAvatarState If you mean that I was waiting for watching that video, I was busy working on other stuff ;o Or did you mean something else?
