Cal Newport was 24 years old when he wrote that. I won't read it and I also won't judge him even if it's bad.

You have to let go of the stories and the need for meaning. In David Hawkins' book Power Vs Force, reasoning is below love and joy. You have to let go of meaning to gain a higher consciousness. (I am not enlightened and I don't seek enlightenment so take it with a pinch of salt what I am sharing)

Haha you are basically asking what is the meaning of life or whether there is a meaning to life. Plus how to reach enlightenment. All extremely tough questions with no direct answer. The last part on your life purpose: only you can find it for yourself but some people may be able to guide you. Hmmm...

@Striving for moremoremormoemorem Don't be stupid. Ignore the black pill stuff. Relax. Just take the positives and ignore the negatives.

The front part of LOA is not very useful. The part on manifesting your desires, thinking about your desires first thing in the morning sounds good on paper but it makes you become attached to the outcome. Only 1% of the people (the naturally good sales guy) are able to manifest a Ferrari car and get it straight through LOA. The next part: ask n you shall receive. There's nothing with asking. asking will increase your odds of landing a sale more often than not. 'You shall receive'? Not always

I don't think girls are ruthless towards nice people. Or not to the 'nice' traits at least. Girls appreciate the good things done by men. But girls hate it when guys show weakness. You can be nice but don't show too much weaknesses. Also depends on what status the lady is currently at. Some girls tolerate weakness more than others.

Be careful when you give too much of your energy, love and money away and getting nothing in return. You will get burnt out.

From what you said, the guy is probably not so interested in you or he has a girlfriend and wants to stay loyal. Right now, you have two main options. 1. Escalate it and shows that you like him. It's all or nothing. You risk losing the friendship as well. 2. Ignore and don't bother seeing him again.

Stop whining. It's just making music. There's tons of stuff out there that's more difficult than making music. For example, talking to event organisers can be even more boring and tedious.

Just a newbie's video. Who doesn't know that you need self-love, set goals and boundaries?

Did Mr Money Mustache reveal how much he earn from investing in index funds and from his work? He must have earned a lot to be able to retire at age 30. Realistically, no one will retire at age 30 with 1 mil so I believe MMM earns way more than that.

The little puppies and kittens are there to comfort you, reminding you that if you ever need company, you can always play with them.

What about 'No excuses' by Brian Tracy?

Look at Sadhguru. He's so spiritual and is so successful as well!

Confront him directly. Tell him that you want to be taken seriously. Then you can assess how he reacts. Always be authentic and stay true to your values.

Society is just going to gain more knowledge and consciousness over time. If you don't want people to know all these things, don't share them haha.

You can read Letting go by David Hawkins. In there, there are specific techniques to help you work with your negativity.

@Consept where is the nice series on starting an Amazon fba? I am not American though.

I can give you a free coaching session. I am not a life coach but I have read over 300 self-help books and courses so I know what helps and what doesn't to a good extent. Pm me if you want to know more.

He is needy. Go test him and ask him what's his life purpose.

Introspection is inwards into your thoughts and emotions. Contemplation can refer to internal and external events.

Lame video by Teal. Who doesn't know that you need trust and alignment?

2 days of your memories purged. Please tap into your subconscious to see if you can assess them again.

It's harder to do the summary than what I think. Anyway, feel free to make changes and addon. 1. How to Invest in Yourself Invest in yourself, life and money. Are you a short or long term investor? - Short-Term investment may be flaky and may not pan out really well - Long-Term investment can be very lucrative and valuable to you. - People tend to have short attention spans. They tend to jump on new stuff. They tend to dabble and jump from one thing to another. That leads to short-term mindset. - Invest in your career. Cal Newport in his book 'So Good They Can't Ignore You' talks about building Career Capital. In order to be happy and successful in your career, build up the skills and knows-how that make you valuable relative to others in the same field. Then you can provide great value and also charge more money. - Be perceived as giving more value than the money you received. This makes your business/work sustainable. - To build your skills, you need to invest a lot of time and discipline. You also need to understand the processes of Mastery. - Investing in yourself is the most valuable use of your time. - Build up your brain. No one can take that away from you although they need your skills and experiences. - In modern society where it is getting more service-oriented, you need massive skills. Different levels of skills 1) Become better at pure skills. Eg better artist 2) Become better at specific skills Eg learning Photoshop - Soft skills are also important. Develop people skills such as being funny, entertaining, likable, political, savvy and witty. Develop business acumen and marketing skills. - Who do you have to be? How do you have to change yourself until you see yourself as a successful artist? Maybe start going for improv classes, read books, practicing with friends and going for networking events. - But that's still not your Full Inner Game. What's holding you back as an artist? Originality, Creativity and Innovation should be very valuable for an artist but how do you tap into them? You can structure your life. You also have to work through your limiting beliefs. You have to find a sense of confidence in your creative expression. - Actually it's not that hard. The trick is to figure out what's the challenges are first, then you need a vision of where you are going and break down into small steps to take action on. - Make your stuff less mainstream and more quirky. Step out of comfort zone and don't care what others think. - Change from who you are to who you want to be. It's not just behavioral change. You may still backslide. It's also about your mindset. - Think long-term. For example, reading a book may not be worth much in the short term but over the long run, how much value can you get throughout your whole life?
