As Leo mentioned in some other thread, it can be necessary to gain some capital with "normal business" so you can move on to more meaningful fulfilling work, because those businesses tend to grow at a more slow pace, yet deliver better and more loyal customers. So I'd say it's a wise approach to keep at this until you feel ready to move into something more fulfilling.

That's great if you really enjoy it. Keep at it! ?

@Average Investor Have you ever thought about getting into Shopify dropshipping or Amazon affiliate marketing? I feel like it would be less of a hassle, and you can scale way faster because you don't have to touch the inventory.

I'm eating 3-4 eggs daily, is this something I should be rethinking? I feel great so far.

Yeah I'll agree with @DocWatts You can't really pin them to a stage, that's why I stated it as (red, blue, beige). Red because of their habit to destroy other cultures and blue because of their queen, which her main purpose was to bring order to chaos.

I personally always include some amount of protein with every meal. From eggs to protein bread, or peanut butter. But I don't count the amount, can't be bothered with taking it that seriously.

Played some football (soccer) last night with my friend. We sprinted pretty much non stop, so I awoke to soreness that rivaled that of a spartan warrior. Realized how important it is to play sports from time to time, and not just strict autistic exercise. This really worked on all the small balancing muscles that can be quite hard to train without specific exercises, such as with a balancing board and resistance bands. I've been doing a bit of both, so my legs are completely dead from the larger muscles to the smallest ones. I'll definitely be playing some more football soon, it was extra fun in the snow and freezing cold. I'm going to do some calf stretches today to loosen them up, alongside whole-body stretches. Trying to do it every other day ideally.

@Everyday Hope you get well soon!

@PurpleTree Then it's fear of getting injured. Is it just temporary neck pain while exposed to the cold? Or is it permanent? I also get a stabbing sensation in the neck but it goes away afterward.

Did a flow workout today. Felt great after not having done it for about 5 days, been lifting pretty heavily alongside explosive plyo exercises this week. I'm seeing a lot of micro-injuries here and there after I started to lift a little heavier, in the shoulder, back, and hip. I have no idea why or how this happened, my form is pretty much perfect and I'm not doing weights that I can't control. It's probably from how fast I went into the weights, should've eased more into it, but it's nothing much so I'll just continue. I've not tried running yet, I'm still stretching my calf out, did a fantastic session the other day and will do another one tonight. I feel like I should be stretching my body a lot more, alongside some active recovery maybe. Did a cold shower after the workout. The water has never been as cold as it was today due to the extreme cold that's going around here. It's been predicted to reach -20C tomorrow, was about -13 today. This has made the water unbelievably cold, and it's already been extremely cold anyway. I had to do some rapid breathing and short micro squats to keep myself from freezing in place, lol. Felt amazing afterwards, was under for about 10 min.

Embrace the cold! If you give into the "it's so cold" mentality, you'll only feed it and it will feel even colder. Try a cold shower with some deep breathing, then go outside and do some activity in the cold. This is all a mental game, there's nothing but fear stopping you from getting up right now and jumping into a cold shower. And the shock of it is the best part! feels amazing.

Around the year 3553-3558. Green can be just as stubborn as orange to evolve. It's still a tier 1 stage, yet it will likely adapt yellow with slow incremental improvements.

About one year ago, I was submerged deeply in my dropshipping business. I started to take it seriously at the beginning of November 2019 after dabbling and seriously studying it for around a year. Just in the month of November, I sold 500 units of a single product which revenued about 30k, with about 30% profit. December was good as well, and then Covid struck. I had already known about a virus breaking out far ahead of most people, there were factories talking about not being able to open again just before the Chinese new year had started. I'll never forget the day when I woke up to 2k sales at about 700$ profit. I was in disbelief I just made 700$ in my 8 hours of sleep. One of the most memorable moments in life, I knew wage slavery is not required, and I knew at that moment that you can easily escape it with an online business, a so-called "laptop lifestyle". I really want to get that feeling back, it felt so freeing and limitless. When the pandemic started to creep around the globe, around march, I went to our farm and worked there for a couple of months. I was on a night and day shift during the lambing season, it's always one of my favorite parts of the year and did a little construction work as well. After that, I went back to the city and started to focus on awakening and personal development work, this was during the summer and until now. I've been really focused on trips, contemplating, reading, etc. Now I feel like I've been in this easy (survival-mode), (difficult spiritually), for a good time. And I really want to get out there more, interact with the world, staying busier, getting a normal job, waking up at 5 AM to work on my business, not having enough time in the day, going to the gym, not just working out at home, even though I easily can. I've wanted for a long time now to get myself a new hunting rifle and a crossbow to go out to a field and practice, find more hobbies, take up some practice, maybe boxing or basketball. I've felt like I let this awakening work kind of drain the juice out of my life, yet also revealed the true beauty of it. It's my fault for not balancing it better, it can be quite hard to do so. I isolated myself so I could experience god, love, infinity, and awakenings, as efficiently as possible, with no distractions. And I don't regret it at all. My plan is actually to go back to that, only more financially free. I want to be able to do a month-long psychedelic retreat just as Leo did with 5 MeO. I'm not quite ready for such commitment yet, and would likely start with a 10-15 day one. Yet I don't wish to focus on that for now, it's quite the opposite of what I've written here above. Anyway, I wrote this so I could read it when I feel like I'm getting sidetracked. I truly believe this is what I need in my life now. I'll still be wanting to trip and explore god consciousness. But the focus won't be on that as it has been. I'm only shifting the priorities from 1 to 2.

YOU created this music while listening to it.

It ain't no idea, it's real as fuck, as real as can get. Knowing that you know nothing is true wisdom.

@Rilles That's some real self-love, lol.

That's some real dedication to flute mastery!

Just finished a fantastic leg workout. I've put the flow workouts to a little rest for now and will be doing only weight/explosive training. With maybe one day of flow workout per week, and some morning running once I can muster up the spirit to start it again. The weather here has been pretty crazy, currently a snowstorm outside. I 2 months ago would've been loving this, but I got a little softer after my latest trip. I need to work it back up and start waking up at 5 AM. Been doing the cold showers every day which has helped a lot with keeping some of that discipline up, as well as working out daily. I really miss the morning runs, but my right leg seems to not love it at all. Not really been working on my calf like I said I would. I need to write it down so I won't forget. I really do need to loosen it up before I start the daily running again. I ought to get myself a massage gun, but won't until after Christmas, just in case if I get it as a present. And maybe need to go have my foot looked at as well, so I can get the right custom shoes that fit my foot. Been on Creatine now for probably around 2 months. Feels great, you really do notice a massive difference in performance. But I feel like it's usually worked best when lifting heavy (bodybuilding style) which I've not been doing, but I'm loving it I've pretty much fallen out of my caffeine discipline as well, after such a long time without it, you kind of forget that you were even doing it. So I'll have to take a look at that soon come. But I won't give up cacao this time around. It benefits me too much and doesn't contain a lot.

@DocWatts Awesome! I'll make sure to add DS9 to my watchlist.

Beautiful!

Don't you know the 76th rule of acquisition? "Every once in a while declare peace...it confuses the hell out of your enemies".

I do think he's a Muslim so it may be holding him back from opening his mind to those kinds of teachings. Yet he did experience infinite love on his 5 MeO trip. I really hope he doesn't mix it into some Muslim fairy tale and get all twisted up. But this is all too much speculation.

haha! alright, I was a little confused as well. Tyson is very wise from what I've seen in recent interviews.

Yeah, I admire him for actually taking this so seriously. Not a lot of folks are repaired to do a 40 day fast.
