  1. The less corrupt a country is, the easier it is to self-actualize. I'm not saying it's wrong to live in America. But given its corruption and the option to move to less corrupt countries, why does Leo decide to stay in America? If you live in America, why do you stay? Have you considered moving?
  2. I talked about some of the plans and ideas I have for my next business venture with someone. After the conversation, I immediately noticed that I lost some of my drive and motivation to actually take action on those plans. I'm still going to take action, but the drive/motivation is noticeably weaker. Now I deeply regret having that conversation where I talked about my plans and ideas. And it surfaced from them asking "Any plans for this year?". How should I respond to that question next time? Is there anything I can tell the person I talked to that would make it better? Like "Hey. I think I shared too much of my plans and ideas before actually taking action on them. Now I feel that my drive and motivation to actually achieve them has decreased. Next time I am going to stay quiet and not talk about anything until I am actually making results. If I am asked, I will only talk about it when I am making results." But I don't know if I should say that. This opportunity is too important for me to slack on. How do I regain my drive and motivation to take massive action on my plans?
  3. @something_else How can I reverse it then? Yeah I’m glad I noticed it the first time and researched it afterwards. The silver lining is that a concrete lesson was learned, do not share your ideas & plans before taking massive action on them.
  4. @something_else This makes sense. Thank you. How can I reverse this? I just want to go back and wish I never told them yesterday. It was only kept in my mind and my own notes up until then. I was so driven to bring it to fruition. @hyruga I haven’t found this to be true in my experience.
  5. @Jacob Morres Did you simply just search “Life Coach groups” or is there some other keyword?
  6. I want to read the Actualized.org Textbook on my Kindle, and I also want to have it in analogue format, as if I could read it like a physical book. How can I achieve this? For the Kindle format, are there any PDF to MOBI conversion tools don't sacrifice text formatting? Or how can I manually make it accurate? For an analogue format, I've heard of binders, but they are too big to read comfortably when laying down in bed. I usually read in bed before going to sleep. Thanks in advance. Also want to give a big thank you to @Cepzeu for assembling it, and @FlyingLotus, @Juan Cruz Giusto, @TimStr, @Hello from Russia, @AleksM, and others for additions. And of course, a big thank you to @Leo Gura for his life-changing contribution to mankind
  7. @Jacob Morres Where can I find these?
  8. @LfcCharlie4 Has that ever happened to you? How do you deal with it? @Nahm What if your income isn’t fixed? E.g. owner of a business?
  9. @Nahm What is income verification exactly?
  10. @Average Investor Say I have $70k in cash. Where do I get started? Also, Roth IRAs don’t exist in my country
  11. @Yarco Invest in what? Genuine question.
  12. Why are we attached to survival? Why are we attached to living? What makes us think that we are separate from what appears in our experience? Why are we attached to our ego? What made us so attached?
  13. @Byun SeanBecause I don't want it to bite me or crawl on me, or kill me. But see, these are just mental models that I've constructed from other people's experiences and my knowledge of spiders. I don't truly know with 100% certainty. @VeganAwakeWhy do we prefer comfort? @tsuki I don't understand. Could you simplify or elaborate? Thanks.
  14. I’m looking for books on people overcoming difficulty and transforming their lives in the end. Or books about overcoming difficulty in general, such as Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl or Can’t Hurt Me by David Goggins. The theme I’m interested in: Being unconquerable Going from darkness into the light Being the captain of one’s own ship Resiliency Determination Pulling oneself up by their bootstraps Any suggestions?
  15. @omar30 This is a good recommendation. Thank you. @Dryas Any books in mind? @hyruga Thanks. Do you have any other books in mind? @itachi uchiha You ditched your meditation for it? Could you please elaborate more? I don't think meditation is only used for facing hardship. By the way, I'm not allergic to religious concepts. I'm not religious myself but there are some gems that can be taken out from every religion. They're all trying to say the same thing, but they all deliver differently, sometimes in corrupted ways.
  16. Sold a PC component for $680 yesterday, realized I had missed out on potentially $300 given how rare and high in demand it was - which explains why I got a swarm of messages within the same night I listed it... and sold it... I keep thinking "I should've just left it up for longer at a higher price and not have sold it the same night I listed it" and what I could've done with that money. There is this knot in my chest about it even though it's probably not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things. While it's few hundred dollars and that's quite a lot, the problem mostly stems from me wanting to make the most out of everything, not really the price. I think that even if it was $100, I would still be regretting it. So this is more than just it being a lot of money. How can I use this as an opportunity to flex my letting go muscle? It's just a few hundred dollars... If I'm struggling to let go of a few hundred dollars, I'm probably quite far from letting go of my life.
  17. @Nahm I don't know how I came across this year old thread... but thank God I did because I came across this golden nugget of a post from you. You single-handedly just recontextualized how I view instant-gratification. This is utterly profound. I really hope I don't forget this.
  18. @catcat69123 See, I think there is still a part of me that thinks regret can be used as motivation. Like - avoiding doing something that I will regret in the future. Delaying gratification or regret indulging in instant gratification in the future, etc. @Crane Bahnsteik How can I do this? It's sort of just "there". I've heard of the sedona method before and watched some summaries on it but I have never seen this course. This will be profound. Thank you so much.
  19. @hyruga THANK YOU! I remember reading an excerpt from this book which made me instantly buy it. This was literally a year ago and it's been sitting in my kindle library ever since. Thank you for reminding me. Once I finish reading this book on SIBO this may be my next read. @Crane Bahnsteik What do you mean by resolution? Like the clarity and specificity of what it is I am trying to release and how close it is to the root? This makes sense. Thanks. But it's so difficult. Especially trying to let go of trying to let go. Why do I find it so hard to let go of trying to let go?
  20. @Batman I agree with this. It happens to be that this human character tends to believe the beliefs it is surrounded by. It both is and isn't out of our own will it seems. @tsuki Can you please elaborate? @Nahm But why? Why did we believe it to begin with? Our character just didn't know any better?
  21. @tsukiWhy did we inherit them? Why do we want to be accepted by the tribe? Why do we care about what other people think? @Byun SeanDeath might not even be real for all we know. We just happen to believe it will happen to us. Why do we do so much to avoid death?
  22. @Leo Gura What if you are in this state for a while? Weeks, months?
