  1. That's like trying to convince yourself that Mount Everest is beautiful, even though you've never seen it or been there before. It's not possible. Get the real thing.
  2. @WhiteCongrats Unless you specifically need a degree, the only value I see in college these days is that it gives you time to explore yourself and party. That's all I got out of it.
  3. Sounds like you need a Series license then.
  4. That could definitely happen. But it's undoubtedly effective too.
  5. @Leo Gura I think it’s awesome man. Respect for taking the leap of faith on this. Also, I got you when you come to Miami. I’m connected with a lot of people here who would want to see you.
  6. @NicAndStuff I find it almost impossible that you can't find anyone you admire. If you're on this forum and you bought the life purpose course, you must at least admire Leo. They don't have to be perfect.
  7. What's the point of the education? An MBA is not going to be that beneficial if your end goal is to be an entrepreneur. You'd be much better off putting that money into more practical skills like either marketing, sales or copywriting training.
  8. You can, these things have nothing to do with each other. In fact, most people who become more conscious have a dramatic increase in their social skills. So your experience is interesting to me. My intuition says that you should stop smoking weed. I think you've learned the lessons you can get from it and it's now becoming a bit of crutch.
  9. @rNOW Self development work is like sharpening the saw for your career / relationships. Don't think of them as different parts of your life. Do you feel your work is relatively aligned with your life purpose? If you're doing something that's out of alignment, it's easy for procrastination to set in. That might actually be true. Personally, I tend to go hard on just one or two things at a time. Everything else gets pushed to the side. Balance is a never ending process based on what your needs are in the moment. You may want to try reading Getting Things Done by my friend David Allen.
  10. @Mircan Combine massive action towards your life purpose along with spiritual work. That's the real answer.
  11. @Hello from Russia It's very context dependent advice. For instance, I just did a three day fast where I didn't eat or drink anything. That's a challenging thing to do because even though it's healthy, you basically go through food withdraws. So the emotionally difficult thing for me to do was just to stick to the fast. It took discipline. But there's other times where you just want to free flow with what feels good in the moment. The question I usually ask is "what is the action that is truly in alignment with what I want?". In your example about cumming inside of a girl, that might feel really good in the moment. But I can promise you it's less fun when the pregnancy scare happens. That's not in alignment with what I want. So I'm not going to do it.
  12. @Kaity I would start just by becoming comfortable around women who embody the femininity you want. Make friends with them and see how many of your judgments were misguided. If you can't do that, Instagram is your friend. Find women on Instagram who you like and just start following them. What do they wear? How do they talk? What are they interested in? What don't they like? Why do they do what they do? That will open you up to making changes yourself. And you'll also have a group of people around you that won't judge you for the changes you're making.
  13. Awesome man! Glad you liked it, lots more content coming soon.
  14. It's not that black or white. In your case, the fact you even asked this question shows me that you're unlikely to fall into that particular trap. For you, I would say consider all motivation to be good motivation. Even if it's not always "higher consciousness" or seems petty. Own all of your needs.
  15. @Superfluo You could try the Commonplace journal Leo talks about. But this isn’t school, you don’t have to memorize every detail. It’s okay if you forget stuff, just keep coming back to it and what is practical for you at this moment.
  16. @emind Yes it can. You should be able to attract women without talking and without them having any idea who you are. That’s a purely energetic form of attraction. It won’t happen everytime, but if it’s not happening at all, your energy is off.
  17. I don't think that aspect was suggesting women go back to being helpless victims. There can be a shadow side of dependency. Rather, it's about how the masculine and feminine energies manifest themselves. I love being a leader. When I'm owning a situation, it just feels so right. It's like I'm home. Because I know good things are going to happen for everyone around me. Most guys would agree with that. But if you were to honestly ask most women how they feel about being a leader and having to take charge, you would get much different responses. It doesn't feel right to them. This doesn't mean some girl can't go channel her inner Khaleesi if she wants. It's a free will universe, and some women undoubtedly are more masculine than others. But in my experience they typically don't enjoy it the same way men do. When I'm in a long term relationship with a girl, I love when she tells me things like "You make me feel safe". There's just something about that which strikes at the core of what it means to be a man. And when she feels safe, that's when her femininity opens up and she gets to feel like a woman.
  18. Of course. That’s what it means to live in a universe governed by law of attraction. I also agree. The feminine will tend to fall into place when the masculine is there. Awesome, I believe you. I don’t think we’re fundamentally disagreeing. As a man, you take 100% ownership all the time. What I’m really looking to discourage is moral judgments.
  19. @billiesimon Yeah she did a very good job with this, props to her. For anyone who liked this, I would read Iron John by Robert Bly.
  20. Because you can just as easily get in a relationship with someone who isn’t long distance. Long distance is basically the worst parts of a relationship with none of the good. You don’t get to see each other, you don’t get to have sex, you don’t get to eat together. You basically can’t do shit except talk on Skype. Why make it harder than it has to be? Why not just find someone local?
  21. @Sukhpaal Breakups aren’t fun, but they can be amazing for personal growth. Some of my absolute best lessons have come from breakups. Don’t be afraid to feel, it’s not going to kill you. Also, I would just forget about long distance relationships. Do it if you really want, but I find them a waste of time.
  22. @MM1988 Lol yes dating can seem like a minefield. You don’t want to be try-hard, but you also can’t try to not be try-hard, because that’s try-hard. And you can’t do nothing, because if you do nothing, nothing happens. So WTF? If you really want to make this more natural, it starts with inner game. Yes there are things you can do externally to make things easier, but I would focus inward for awhile first.
  23. Part of it is usally that she feels so much shame over her sexuality, that the only way she can enjoy it is if “happens to her”. If she feels she cooperated at all, then all that shame will surface. This can happened to men as well. But I think it’s generally more common in women because of slut-shaming. Part of it is also just feminine energy. Feminine energy is receptive and free flowing. It’s surrender. Even a woman doesn’t have a rape fantasy, most women do want the experience of being dominated, directed, and controled during sex. They want the man to take charge, which frees them up to feel feminine.
  24. Depends on what you mean. I definitely don’t see then as immoral, and I don’t see them as having made a “mistake”. If anything, I just think they could be better off if they adjusted their dating strategy.
  25. I think there’s depths of nonresistance you can get into. What you’re describing here sounds like a basic level of tolerance, although I could be wrong. I’m talking about a dramatic shift in your levels of resistance, usually which happens all at once when you can’t take it anymore.
