  1. @Thought Art I just feel a sense of hopelessness. Like, nothing will work in my life and now I just have to settle for mediocre existence and wage slavery. I’m in a pretty dark place. But, at the same time my emotions are mixed.
  2. @Rigel Good ideas for sure. I’m not sure those options are available. But, perhaps there is a way to do it.
  3. I’ve been in and out of dark thoughts still. Still working through sense of regret and hopelessness. I feel far away from a life I want. I feel lonely and alone. I want more money and relationship in my life. I want things to be different.
  4. I’ve been hanging out with tree planters a lot this summer. Young girls just like young guys. We brainwash ourselves with all this content and get confused.
  5. @r0ckyreed There is a difference between what Oregan did, which was badly planned and executed, and say what Portugal did. This is why systems thinking is important and not just “legalization good” or “legalization bad”
  6. Anyway, I think I’ll make paying off the loan a priority and yes. Take a proactive approach instead of being reactive. It is what it is. I can handle this. I don’t need to act as if I know a what the future holds and that I’m doomed. I got scammed and taken advantage of and yeah, it’s a set back and a shame. But, if I use it wisely it’s an important life lesson so I don’t get scammed again. It May take me some years to become more proactive, and strong and wise. I don’t mean to have a low adversity/ reactive response. But, when I end up in this sort of learned helplessness state… it can take a bit of time to get work through. I’m just being with myself and my pettiness.
  7. Yeah, but what are you gonna do when you are 60+ if not live in the castle you built when you were younger? I want to create something and do something. Not be a slave and retire and then what? Drink my tea and read the paper in my tiny rental, fearing I get renovicted?
  8. The debt really bothers me. I find myself resenting the people who encouraged to take their shit program. 8k is so much time….
  9. @Breakingthewall Why would dying be wrong it happens to everyone? At the absolute there is nothing wrong. Right and wrong are simply relative.
  10. @Princess Arabia Thanks for taking the time to speak with me. I do believe that vision, and thinking constructive thoughts is important. But also I think it was the manifesting stuff that lead to my debt problems. I am increasingly wary of wishful new age thinking. I need a more rational realistic approach now. I don’t know. I am alive right now. What am I gonna do with reality as it is? I can’t go back in time. Skills take a lot of time to experience. Hmm
  11. An enjoyable one. I’ve been bleeding though. Getting scammed out of 8k, and being in debt because of it. Like, with my debt and student loan I’m paying 650 dollars a month. What the fuck! Waste.
  12. I am investing in my Qigong channel. I just need to be patient for go through my ups and downs. When you don’t live life properly naturally you pay with a lot of suffering. It’s just how it’s designed.
  13. Life is simply an investment simulator. I haven’t invested well due to trauma and immaturity. Ive been working as a tree planter. There are guys who have been planting for 5 years and it’s obvious because they plant more than double me and make that much more. Some of them are like 22-23. I’m 27. I hate it. They simply have more hours doing the planting. I don’t wanna live as some loser who is broke. I’m not in a good place right now. Okay, so you’re in debt what do you do? Work more. That’s about it. But if you work more you aren’t investing in building skills, or your business. Then, you’re 40 years old and might as well kill yourself because it’s too late to make something of yourself. Fuck, I totally fucked up. I journal, and work on my mindset. But, also there’s just the harsh reality that I’m a loser. I’m in debt, I don’t have strong skills. No one will pay me to make music or teach Qigong which is all I wanna do. If I died the world wouldn’t care. But, my suffering hopefully would end. I don’t like having these thoughts I just… Look, I’m deeply ambitious by nature. Feeling like I’m a loser, feeling behind is really hard on me. Will I actually kill myself? Unlikely but the thoughts haunt me.I have to admit I’ve been dealing with them for a long time.
  14. Hi everyone, This Mega thread is for those of us who are course creators, or are interested in becoming a course creator. I suspect over the coming years many people who are working on their life purpose will begin turning to online course creation. A lot of us get caught up with being a youtuber, but I think the real money is in course creation. I now have a consistently growing youtube channel for my Qigong business. My next steps include building my email list, and launching my online course. I tried out different platforms for organic growth and personally found that simply marketing on youtube was best for my business model... People need to get a taste of the Qigong and it's easy for me to make batches of youtube videos. I think make each youtube video a value packed video, that also promote my online course offer. Share in this thread questions, tips, tricks, and resources so we can assist each other in becoming successful, profitable and mature course creators.

  15. Can you make saving a certain % of your income automatic? Say 10-15%? For example set up an auto transfer to a savings account.
  16. I like the forum. Truth is the world is pretty unhealthy and thus the internet reflects that. Overall, I like the forum a lot. I’d like to see more discussion on personal development and engage deeper on topics I find interesting though. I’d like to have deeper conversations on here.
  17. Also, don’t fool yourself into thinking crypto will make you rich or that there is some easy way out of working hard or paying the price for valuable things, like a decent job in life.
  18. Can’t tell if this is a low quality post. Sort of seems like you are rambling.
  19. Sometimes you sort of need to bite a bullet. An office job, in my opinion is better than a store job. Sometimes you have to decide if that is worth the loan. If you are going to a college that is like 1 or 2 years the loan won’t be that big.
  20. Why do you need to learn math to survive?
  21. So, is fashion of all kind sexual and should be banned?
