  1. Day 3 Go no Ex no Call/text no Medi yes Deto no Day 4 Go no Ex yes Call no/text yes Medi yes Deto yes
  2. You have to read tons and tons of books. You see some gurus...they have read over 500 books or even 1000 books and they become incredibly strong in their subject matter. Since their foundations is super strong, they can easily link different topics together or create something new out of the blue. Hence creativity ensued. Don't just read short articles or summaries because those are too short for the concepts to be internalized in you. You have to read the stories and examples yourself.
  3. Yes so you do not just watch videos. Change your deep rooted beliefs.
  4. Just check out the reviews and ratings on goodreads. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25492.The_Art_of_Being?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=aaHy8vgjtF&rank=1 Usually I don't check out books with ratings below 3.8 (unless there's only a few ratings)
  5. so how do we live our advice? pursue what you want
  6. Look at McGregor fight against Khabib, he has little belief left after 2 years away from MMA. McGregor didn't even kick much because he's only concentrating on boxing after his fight with Mayweather. No wonder McGregor lost despite saying loa works for him previously.
  7. Self help may not be so helpful sometimes as it takes too much time to read. But as someone has said, reading book is still better use of your time than playing online games or watching tv.
  8. Why care so much whether it's turquoise or awakened?

  10. I normally record my notes down under book title or video title or person eg Jordan Peterson and post them on online notes. I also update on blogs. The thing is you have to trust yourself that you already exhibit some of the principles that you learnt. If you wish to recap, you simple relook at your notes again. You must understand your ego will want you to create a powerful note taking system. It will distract you and take away your time from doing other things. Do not get neurotic about notes. Info is everywhere.
  11. Disagree. How can it be luck when you force yourself to.be deeply aware and think deeply. We can agree to disagree. Hardwork can bring you luck but it's not all luck. Like take for example, LeBron James scored lots of goals. It's all luck for him! He just happened to be at the right place right time, no skills no thinking involved?
  12. haha it's not ALL about luck I believe. A great amount of awareness and deep introspection is probably needed. anyway, I am not enlightened and i also do not seek enlightenment or liberation because it's not my goal at all.
  13. The road less travelled is great. Or you can read the purpose driven life. There aren't many books on discipline. Most books touch on willpower or perseverance but those are stage orange types.
  14. Haha even if one becomes monk, one also may not find liberation or enlightenment because he is too attached to the outcome or too attached to their current world. Also, a monk rests in the monastery all day. Not sure how they can be liberated compared to the one who sky dive or the one who got a snake bite but survived.
  15. You are living in lack and not abundance when you don't want your friends to succeed. Are they even your friends anymore?
  16. It's up to you. First it's your baseline character...are you a helpful or kind person? Do you donate money to beggars regularly or do you never bat an eyelid? Different values, beliefs, cultures are also influencing your character as you grow older. So end of the day, you decide what kind of things you want to help people with and then you go out and help people.
  17. We will never achieve our life dreams...because we/you change target all the time. For example, if you are a YouTuber, you will aim for 1k subscribers first, then 5k, then 10k, 100k, 250k, 500k, 1 mil. Then 2 mil. Or you would tell yourself oh I have reached 100k sub but most people have much much more so 100k subscribers is not that much of a big deal anymore? Same for money and many other things.
  18. You think too highly of yourself. Your advices causes your friend to succeed or he will succeed anyway in spite of your advices? I think it is your ego telling you that you are responsible for his success when you only play a small small part.
  19. The word 'define' is too strong but we are constantly shaped by our past. For example, what time we wake up and sleep are determined usually by past behaviors. Same for the food we eat regularly, the videos we watch, the websites we visit and people we talk to. Also our beliefs in whether we can do something or not. We are mostly controlled by our Subconscious.
  20. not just novels. even reading comics help a lot because in a comic, you are seeing the actual conversation crafted by the authors. So this is why people who grow up reading Marvel and DC comics ended up as good conversationalist!
  21. Video already posted before not once but twice. And maybe a few more times.
  22. It's the culture that one is brought up in. Probably in Europe, more people are playing football and you become more exposed to this sport. The money is also in football in Europe sports. In America, of course the money is in NBA. And if you stay there, you will be moreexposed to this. You will prefer to play basketball over football if you play even less of football. We like to do the things we are familiar with. This is our subsconscious conditioning.
