Leo is a supplement, not the main course If you put the effort, you will see the results. You reap what you sow. --- As a human being we are limited to the nature of being human - to our environment, influences, human limitations, genetics and so much more . Our agency is incredible but also limited. Our agency can be influenced by the thoughts we think, to the influences we allow in the form of country, community, social media, people, books, and other forms of media, as well as the decisions we make. --- Humans are infinitely creative beings and also simultaneously the opposite . I've experienced high creativity and also extreme stress Humans are also powerful creators of change in the world. I've experienced high victim mentality --- What is Important? How does one even figure that the fuck out? What is the point of life?

I asked some on advice to attracting healthy relationships He said, instead of focusing on the right person, focus on becoming the right person and that will attract the right people Interesting? Idk

Today I wondered "what is understanding?" this distinction is important because it helps you differentiate between truth and falsehood I think. so I youtubed to see if leo had a video on it, and he did it. what a gift. when he first put out the video i wasn't interested but now, it's at the right time Another thing - Today I was looking for a new therapist. My current one is amazing, but I feel she doesn't have the right wisdom I need. Though - she has wisdom. She is open, understanding, kind and non-judgemental. I need that, but with deeper understanding and a slightly more solution oriented approach. She doesn't seem to have the balance of: when to give advice, and when to not. Good question to answer: Why am I not resonating with my current therapist? What kind of therapist is the right fit for me? What do I need from a therapist? A quote I saw today: The quality of the question dictates the quality of the answer

The traps of leo being your only teacher: A bias toward philosophy. Though has been extremely useful, also has its downsides of being too in your head Not enough wisdom on finances, relationships, health Too much philosophy not enough action Leos susceptible to err, just like others

Leo once mentioned the essence of creativity is to combine two different things to come up with something new I want to find the exact quote.

Love it. Will other person make you happy? Is X limiting belief true? Are men/women actually evil? This is consciousness work!

You can create your ideal self through visualization and the gradual manifestation of it through daily embodiment, but that's just the technique I guess I can tell you from personal experience, that confidence is an extremely malleable trait in humans You can build confidence gradually For me, the things that helped me was: Turning my mindset from fixed mindset to growth mindset. Basically, a fixed mindset assumes characteristics within you are fixed. Like you have 100 IQ, you are this level smart, this much athletic, confident, happy, whatever. A growth mindset though says that your traits and skills are malleable and changeable. I highly recommend the book Growth Mindset by Carol Dweck. There

another balance. Balance between optimal practice versus doesn't matter which practice it is, all are viable Some practices are better than others, but simultaneously, it doesn't matter which practice because all practices have value Paradox/balance is a nice and useful tool

Life and character is built when the going gets tough. When the going gets tough, that is important to remember wisdom, because that is the hardest time. It is an opportunity for growth, wisdom, learning, and change Good things come from these moments, channel it properly, love

Insights of the day: Shine the light of awareness onto others. What are they doing? Bring awareness of the situation. What the fuck are they doing? Helps with observing manipulation Take Action: (Incomplete insight. Needs deeper understanding) Life is not lived in your mind. Action is required. Meditation alone is SHIT. You need to fulfill your needs to be happy. Such as, financial, relationship, trauma oriented, purpose/meaning, happiness, creative, setting boundaries, Meditation is HELPFUL though. It helps to stay stoic, grounded, conscious, calm. but meditation alone is not enough. Avoiding problems and just meditating is not enough. Certain problems necessitate that the person takes care of it. --- An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field - Niels Bohr

What the fuck is the balance between non duality and law of attraction?! Well according to Leo it's better to do regular personal development, build a healthy ego and transcend it. Its very hard to transcend an unhealthy ego I wonder if thats a rationalization or a deep insight
-
the scientific method is simply: hypothesis, test, observe test results Hopefully my insights don't annoy anyone. I feel like im spamming them Great.

I may have been putting up with relationships that have been very unhealthy for me... There seems to be a slight trend heh

A feature of life is counter-intuitive. There are other descriptions of life, like life is a maze

Life is a Practice Meaning you can't do it once and expect results Be prepared to do it every-time the issue comes up Ex: mindfulness when feeling negative being mature when the other is immature being mindful when you are triggered self-compassion when hurting I think though as time goes on, you get much better at doing it. "Better" means more adept with tons of distinctions It does begin with an intention, followed by a daily practice
-
Being great is less about YOU but about the actions you take Ex: when playing video games, if you want to be a top player, its about just doing things a top player would do. Surprisingly, most people don't do them, even though its right there in their face. The top level strategies are right there. Beneath their nose or around the corner You already are a top player, just your actions must be aligned with that

Do NOT ask Leo for answers. Get them yourself from other sources. 1 dimensional responses will come from Leo. I dont know what I mean by that Leo doesn't know everything but he knows a lot. Some things I disagree with him. Positive is Leo acknowledges much of this

4. Love yourself by kamal ravikant. When I was confused about self love, what it meant and how it looked like, I appreciated this guys wisdom because it finally showed someone with some pretty decent theory, and him applying it. It showed me some possibility of what is possible and what to emulate. You can also see him in interviews on YouTube which are helpful. My con was I wasn't sure if this was the highest perspective, but really I had trouble finding books on self love that I resonated with 6. Creative visualization by Shakti Gowan. This one is cool. She goes through a bunch of visualization exercises, very practical and also wisdom on intuition. I think this one can be powerful if applied. Also motivating. Con is the book ofc is not holisitic. But it has nice wisdom of following your intuition and how to create [big] things 4 or 5. Just one thing: developing a buddhas brain by Rick Hanson. I enjoyed this one because this book opened me up to building self worth and finding positive things about yourself. Theres also a lot of practices on self love and compassion and taking care of yourself.

Good question I've had similar thoughts of the year Like... what the fuck is the point of life purpose, the hell is Leo raving about that shit? I just wanna have some good friends, get some girls, and have fun. I think life purpose is for when you want something more out of life. You want it to have some higher purpose and meaning. I think it comes when you are ready for something big and extravagant. I don't think life purpose is for everyone, you need to be ripe for it. But it does give your life meaning and fulfillment The other stuff, won't give you as much fulfillment. And then you will search for a life purpose. Something deeply meaningful and important @AlphaAbundance I like when you said LP is a higher need. Yeah me too. I think for me, LP becomes much less important when some basic needs are not met. Really, those becoming burning fires in your mind if you dont meet them (for me)
