so like you're supposed to like walk out when someone doesn't value your feelings , or emotional well-being (i did and I am so proud of myself)

The more information you know, and the more you understand yourself, the better decisions you can make #gamesense

@Spence94 thanks for sharing this, it is extremely inspiring

i think because it has to do with the openness to different paths

by itself hedonism as a strategy is a lie. the mind deceives you into thinking sex, food, money, achievement will make you happy. happiness does not come from that alone. great question which leads me to a corollary question, what is happiness really?

What is it? Why do u guys want it? Is it necessary?

i think the better question is, is it right for you rather than if it is right objectively it is very hard for me to tell you if sports is right for you or not because it is incredibly subjective depending on you and your life situation.. for me - playing esports was unoptimal but at the same time i learnt many lessons and it was fulfilling in many ways.

yep this pretty much. to add my observation is that it doesn't necessarily doesnt have to be from childhood it can be a recent trauma as well

I may just buy bottle water then?

an updated video on the principles of mastery would be so juicy

@Thought Art ya on it right now lmao

well fuck

You can do something for many many hours and not see improvement For me playing overwatch I was trying to get to a high rank and was playing a lot but saw no improvement over 150 hours of playtime. I knew what my sticking point was (anxiety during games) but I kept practicing other things. Eventually I had no choice but to surrender to the anxiety. I was avoiding the thing that would actually help me (because of the discomfort and change it would bring) and was doing things that had virtually no impact. Once I surrendered to the anxiety and committed to playing good i climbed several ranks So I think my lesson here was, you must do the thing that will actually help you. Def a great example of real work vs fake work. Like leo said - self honesty. It takes some courage and willingness to step into your greatness which will require discomfort and possibly some identity change I have many examples of this tbh in my life. It all depends on your conscious intent

lol i went through it thinking that it didnt apply to me. on second thought that might mean it might extra apply to me LOL

There is a book by michael stainer called the advice trap that I enjoyed. Especially the first few chapters. Basically, after some serious errors of giving people advice, i learnt that advice is incredibly contextual, and to give advice, requires a deep understanding of someone's situation and dilemma. I picked up this book and found it validated my experience and talks about that concept in decent length from the beginning as well as some other great concepts. I know that this guy speaks from experience because this is an insight that I do not hear often, if ever He is a practicing life coach

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I've been thinking a bit about how some people have said some and done rude things that can be generally thought as unacceptable. But sometimes when I bring this up to people, they will defend their actions of what they did, or don't fess up, or lie about their actions, insult me back, continue to repeat things like this etc. Basically anything besides taking accountability for their actions. It is very difficult especially when it's your parents, or someone who is very close to you. does anyone have any insight onto this matter? Really appreciate it

@seeking_brilliance can I get a visualization? If you're still doing one

@StarStruck Dig the article Would you consider communication/networking/people skills a meta skill Not a leo one though

Knowledge isn't useless. It can help you build relationships, guide you to the Truth, build businesses etc. It's limited in the sense that it alone doesn't give you the fruits of the knowledge. Knowledge =/= actuality experience can give you even deeper knowledge because you learn with the experience of it. The experience gives you learned knowledge which is much deeper. By deeper I mean it becomes a strong knowing But experience is limited because, as a single person we only have one brain with limitations. And the collective knowledge of others can improve your own model of the world But the learned model of the world is limited because you don't know which is wrong/right and experience will help you develop that model It's a balancing act between internal/external information It's not either/or, knowledge/wisdom. It's a balancing act. Both

@Parththakkar12 how come connection is a feminine trait? Isn't this just a human thing. Genuinely curious

'Question' ability - asking quality questions Skill of introspection - (need to rewatch this for better understanding so I can summarize) Meta Learning - your learning skill. (Drawing distinctions, observation, behavior change) Meditation skill Consciousness - ability to raise your consciousness Self deception - attunement to your own and other self-deception

Leos video on forgiveness might be useful?

this is all so counterintuitive to me maybe there's a dimension where we don't really worry if we are attractive or not and just do our own thing ? i'm thinking to actually be this "alpha man" it's about just embracing who you are . alpha = self acceptance? idk lol
