Stress Management - Permanent Solutions For Stress Reduction https://youtu.be/dSfZgygLjiw Understanding Stress: Stress is a series of emotional and chemical responses triggered by thoughts and feelings that intermingle creating a negative cycle within us. Internal vs. External: While stress appears to be caused by external situations, it is truly an internal experience. By recognizing stress as internal, we avoid victimhood and take responsibility for our stress. Individual Responses to Stress: People react differently to the same stressful situations, demonstrating that stress levels are determined internally by attitudes, experiences, mastery, and thought patterns. Self-Reflection and Growth: Learning from past experiences where stress was prevalent can showcase how internal change reduces stress, underlining the importance of self-reflection and growth. Actionable Solutions for Money Stress: To manage financial stress, take action by seeking better employment, improving qualifications, polishing resumes, and actively job searching. Managing Time Stress: Addressing time stress involves slowing down, reducing your task list, potentially renegotiating workload with employers, or if self-employed, cutting back on non-essential tasks. Focus vs. Multitasking: Overwhelm can be reduced by focusing on one task at a time rather than multitasking, which can lead to stress and dissatisfaction with work quality. Single-tasking for less stress: When overwhelmed with tasks, focusing on one at a time can provide relief from stress. This method avoids frantic energy and promotes sustainability by accomplishing tasks at a comfortable pace. Relationship categories causing stress: Stress in relationships typically falls into three areas: family dynamics, intimate partnerships, and workplace interactions. These domains often require distinctive approaches to manage stress effectively. Taking responsibility in relationships: Accepting responsibility for one's role in all varieties of relationships is essential. Instead of blaming others, acknowledging personal involvement allows for control and power over the resolution of these stresses. Avoiding control in relationships: Trying to control people in any relationship leads to frustration and stress. Focusing on what one can control, namely one's own actions and reactions, preserves personal power and reduces stress. Approaches to family stress: To handle familial stress, redirect attention towards personal growth, values, and goals, rather than getting caught up in family issues. Managing intimate relationship stress: In romantic relationships, either increase acceptance and love or have the courage to end unhealthy ones. This decisive action prevents dysfunctional dynamics from escalating stress. Dealing with work relationships: One can either concentrate on individual performance, disregarding toxic office politics or leave a harmful work environment altogether for psychological well-being. Life purpose as a stress reliever: A clear understanding of one's life purpose provides direction, reduces external worries, and creates a sense of calmness, making daily stress easier to manage. Promoting Actualized.org: Leo encourages visitation of his website, where he offers resources for personal development and stress management, along with coaching for those seeking to define and pursue their life purpose.

How To Exploit People To Grow Yourself - An Advanced Technique https://youtu.be/XQewAOgoxCE Concept of Exploiting Others for Personal Growth: Leo introduces the idea of using the mistakes and negative behaviors of others as tools for one's own personal development, turning a seemingly nefarious concept into a powerful technique for self-improvement. Conflict and Clashing in Relationships: He points out that conflicts in relationships—be they intimate, familial, or professional—are common and often stem from a lack of adherence to fundamental principles of personal development. Judgmental Tendencies Post Personal Development: Leo shares that as one gains wisdom and becomes more aware, there's a temptation to feel superior to others who are not applying the same developmental principles, leading to judgment and the false belief of being better than others. Transformation from Judgment to Self-Reflection: Instead of judging others for their negative actions, Leo suggests that one should look inward and consider how they might be replicating those behaviors in their own lives. Identifying with Others as Mirrors: He encourages seeing others’ negative behaviors as mirrors, reflecting one's own potential faults or areas of unconscious behavior, to foster personal growth. Aikido Approach to Personal Development: Leo draws an analogy with the martial art Aikido, suggesting that one can deflect the negative energy seen in others and redirect it inwards as a lesson for self-improvement and self-mastery, without judging or trying to change the other person. Ongoing Need for Personal Development: He emphasizes that even the most developed individuals have subtle ways in which they continue to behave unconsciously or self-sabotage, highlighting the need for continuous growth. Gratitude for Reminders of Growth: By recognizing the negative behaviors in others as reminders to stay on the right track, one can develop gratitude for those reminders and the motivation to improve. Exploitation without Judgment: Finally, Leo underlines that 'exploiting' others in this context is not harmful; it is a method for personal development that benefits oneself without criticizing or trying to change others. Necessity of Self-Discipline: Leo stresses the immense self-discipline required to turn attention inward and focus on one's own flaws rather than others', a practice he deems critical for advanced personal development. Acceptance and Wisdom: He encourages acceptance of the world's neurotic behaviors and suggests using them as lessons to derive wisdom, turning negatives into positives for self-improvement. Continuous Re-immersion in Growth Principles: Emphasizing the importance of continual engagement with personal development principles, Leo compares the process to a golfer who regularly practices to avoid getting rusty. Danger of Complacency: He warns against resting on one's laurels, explaining that current positive behaviors and control over reactions can deteriorate without regular reminders and continued practice. Using Others as Reminders for Growth: Leo advises leveraging the negative behaviors of others as inspiration and reminders for self-improvement and gratitude for one's own progress. Ironing Out Subtle Flaws: By observing others, one can identify current subtle flaws within themselves, providing an opportunity for introspection and further refinement of character. Leveraging Negative Examples: He suggests selecting one or two people who exemplify negative behaviors as a motivation to live better and avoid those pitfalls. Engaging with Continuous Growth Resources: Leo invites the audience to subscribe to his newsletter for consistent growth reminders and to stay immersed in personal development through his weekly content on Actualized.org.

Positive Attitude - The 3 Pillars To Cultivating Positivity https://youtu.be/2_18oWkVq08 Positive Attitude as an Advanced Topic: Cultivating a true positive attitude is an advanced personal development challenge that is rare to truly achieve. While some may be naturally inclined to positivity due to their upbringing or genetics, it is possible to develop this trait regardless of one’s background, though it requires significant inner work and time. Inevitability of the Present Moment: Accepting the present moment as inevitable is essential for developing a positive attitude. Believing that the present could be different fosters dissatisfaction, but accepting it as is can dissolve tensions and unhappiness, allowing one to maintain a positive outlook even in adversity. Rigorous Approach to Positive Thinking: Leo contends that most people fail to approach positive thinking in a rigorous and methodical manner. He emphasizes that actual cultivation of a positive mindset goes beyond setting up one's life with comforts and requires consistent inner work. Present Moment Acceptance and Positive Attitude: The recognition that the present moment is unchangeable and wholly necessary is a critical component of sustaining a positive attitude. This deep acceptance alleviates unnecessary struggle and anxiety, which are antithetical to positivity. Worry as a Disempowering Habit: While worry is often believed to be beneficial or motivational, Leo argues that it's actually disempowering and leads to procrastination and resistance. He admits that even he struggles to fully internalize the belief that worry is useless and is continuously retraining his mind to align with this principle. Cheerfulness as an Optimal Problem-Solving Strategy: Cheerfulness, even in difficult situations, is proposed to be the most effective approach to life's challenges. Leo recognizes a disconnect between this belief and actual behavior, as many people abandon cheerfulness when faced with serious problems, leading to inconsistent and fragile positivity. Rock-Solid Positive Attitude Requires Consistency: To establish a true positive attitude, one must maintain cheerfulness and not allow external negative events to dictate emotions. The belief that fear or panic is beneficial in crisis is seen as a barrier to developing consistent positivity. Misconception about emotional reactions: Simply experiencing tragedy or hardship doesn't mean that sadness or fear will aid survival; this is a survival instinct that does not align with conscious positive thinking. Remaining cheerful despite challenges is more beneficial but also more difficult and thus requires understanding and discipline. Proper strategy beyond immediate outcomes: A successful strategy should be judged independently of the short-term results. A correct strategy in life, just like in poker, remains valid regardless of whether the immediate outcome is favorable or not. This concept reinforces the importance of consistency and a positive attitude in the face of life's inevitable ups and downs. Cheerfulness amidst adversity: The idea that maintaining cheerfulness even when facing life's worst scenarios is proposed as the optimal strategy. This thought requires deep self-control and discipline to be genuinely cheerful, not as a reaction to the event but as a stable and positive mindset towards life's unpredictability. The authenticity of positive thinking: Positive thinking is misunderstood as setting high expectations and being attached to outcomes. True positive thinking entails being relaxed, detached from specific results, and maintaining a positive outlook despite unavoidable negative events, which contrasts with the fragility of unrealistic optimism. Importance of continuous self-growth: Cultivating a true positive attitude is a journey of self-growth that requires consistent effort. To help listeners on this path, Leo offers resources through his newsletter, promoting a gradual approach to building a resilient and genuine positive mindset. Legilimens

How To Make A Girl Squirt - Give Your Girl An Explosive Orgasm https://youtu.be/7FmAHDECFsY Leo's Passion for Squirting: Leo expresses his enthusiasm for making a girl squirt, considering it a highly pleasurable and favored aspect of sexual experiences. Definition of Squirting: Squirt is described as an explosive orgasm where a woman ejaculates fluids, with the extent varying across individuals and influenced by mood and technique. Emphasizing Mindset over Technique: Leo reiterates the importance of emotions and creating feelings of safety, relaxation, and openness in the partner over the specific fingering technique used. Necessary Intimacy Levels: He advises against using the squirting technique with someone new or without established sexual intimacy, recommending it for later in a relationship or within a marriage to renew excitement. Potential for All Women to Squirt: Leo suggests that while some women may squirt naturally due to their comfort and openness, others could also squirt if made to feel at ease and if psychological barriers are dismantled. Optimal Environment: For the process, a quiet, unrushed setting is crucial, with Leo recommending home privacy and uninterrupted time for a couple. Relaxation Through Massage: A thorough, non-sexual massage is suggested as a method to relax the partner and build anticipation without directly touching intimate areas initially. Intimacy Development: He stresses looking into the partner's eyes, verbal affection, and establishing a special emotional connection prior to sexual activity. Expressing Enthusiasm for Squirting: Leo encourages communicating excitement about squirting to the partner to make them more receptive and overcome any reservations they may have about the act. Guiding Her to Squirt: He suggests assuming a guiding role, assuring that the act of squirting is adventurous rather than demanding performance and creating a dominant-submissive dynamic where she follows his lead to feel more comfortable. Dispelling Peeing Concerns: Leo stresses the need to explicitly explain that squirting is different from peeing and to encourage the partner to push out fluids during orgasm without fear of judgment. Preparation for Squirting: Leo explains that communication before the act is essential. He advises to tell the woman to be ready to push and squirt during her orgasm, asserting that this instruction is key to the process and might not occur without such guidance. Positioning and Comfort: Leo describes setting up by lying the woman on her back with legs spread, a pillow under her head for support, and positioning himself closely beside her for better leverage and to enhance intimacy. Fingering Technique for G-spot: The technique involves using the middle and ring finger together, inserted deeply into the vagina, to stimulate the G-spot. He recommends using the part of the finger close to the base rather than the tips for effective stimulation and encourages starting the motion slowly with press and release actions. Avoiding Discomfort: Leo stresses the importance of ensuring the woman is extremely wet to prevent discomfort from friction during the aggressive hand movements required for the technique. Increasing Intensity Leading to Orgasm: He guides on progressively increasing the speed and intensity of the stimulation, ultimately leading to fast and hard pumping motions using the whole arm, not just the hand, as the woman approaches orgasm. Vocal Encouragement During Climax: As the woman nears climax, Leo underlines the need for looking into her eyes, establishing a deep connection, and vocally guiding her to squirt and push, indicating the importance of timing these instructions in the last moments before orgasm. Post-Orgasm Stimulation: He advocates for continuing the motion through the orgasm to extend its duration, potentially leading to additional orgasms, and mentions that at this point, the intensity can be slightly reduced if necessary. Physical Demands of the Technique: Leo acknowledges that the technique is physically demanding, suggesting exercises to build up arm and finger strength. Intimacy Building Through Sexual Achievement: He explains that helping a woman squirt can greatly deepen intimacy and make her more attracted to her partner, as it presents an exciting and novel sexual experience that breaks free from societal conditioning. Enhancing Overall Life Beyond the Bedroom: Leo encourages the pursuit of self-mastery across all areas of life, including relationships and self-understanding, to improve not just sexual experiences but all facets of one's life. Promoting Actualized.org Resources: He invites the audience to subscribe to the Actualized.org newsletter for more tips and information on personal development, which will aid in improving relationships and overall success.

What Women Want In A Man - 5 Factors That Hook Women Like Crack https://youtu.be/JoRlb6xcymA Leo's personal journey: Leo shares his own challenges with understanding relationships and the opposite sex, which led him to a dedicated journey of learning and self-improvement in order to attract and understand women. False premise to ask women about their wants: Leo warns that asking women directly what they want in a man is futile since women don't often analyze their desires to the extent that would be useful for men to understand. Core desire for emotional intimacy: At the heart of a woman's desires is the need for deep emotional intimacy within a relationship. Women's biological and social wiring: Studies show that women's brains are more attuned to building relationships and utilizing verbal skills than men's brains, which lean toward logical analysis. Misconception of 'deal-breakers': Many traditionally valued traits such as good looks, financial security, high social status, and loyalty are not the critical deal-breakers they're often thought to be. True deal-breakers for attracting women: Confidence, humor, detachment (not neediness but having a purpose beyond the relationship), and the ability to provide emotional stimulation and intimate experiences are key to attracting women. Understanding women's psychology: Comprehending the psychological dynamics of what women want is crucial for men to attract and keep women in their lives. Importance of practice and application: Leo emphasizes the value of applying learned concepts in real-life interactions with women to truly grasp what attracts them. Market analogy for dating and relationships: Leo compares dating to an auction system where individuals look for partners who can best ensure the survival of their offspring, shaped by emotions and unconscious desires. The danger of misunderstanding women's wants: Many men strive for the wrong attributes, believing they will attract women, when in fact, these are not what women primarily desire. Contrast in importance of various traits: While certain attributes are traditionally prized, women actually prioritize emotional connection and stimulation over material or status-related qualities. Perspective on women's social and emotional focus: Leo discusses women's tendencies toward nurturing, spontaneous, and emotionally-rich interactions in relationships, and how this shapes their desires from a man. Detachment and neediness as deal-breakers: Women are attracted to men who are not needy, as neediness is a massive turn-off. Men must cultivate detachment, grounded in interests or purposes outside of the woman. Attraction to edgy men: Women favor men who are adventurous and provide emotional stimulation, which may manifest as artistic or unconventional traits rather than conventional corporate jobs. Challenging the feminine: Women want men who can challenge them and offer excitement in life, as opposed to men who lead monotonous, predictable routines, which may lead to boredom and loss of attraction. The significance of intimate and dirty sex: Leo stresses the pivotal role of passionate and adventurous sex in a relationship. Providing this kind of emotional and physical intimacy can significantly increase a woman's loyalty and satisfaction. Emotional stimulation over material traits: While women may appreciate material security and social status, they prioritize emotional stimulation found in confidence, humor, edginess, and sexual intimacy. The full package ideal: Leo encourages men to strive for a balance, becoming the 'full package,' as women are most satisfied with a man who possesses both the core emotional traits and supplemental material traits. Attracting women with critical factors: Men are advised to attract women based on critical emotional factors such as confidence and humor, rather than less important factors like good looks or wealth, to prevent the risk of the woman seeking emotional fulfillment elsewhere. Personal development as attraction strategy: Leo recommends focusing on personal growth in crucial areas (confidence, humor, detachment, etc.) to attract and maintain high-quality relationships with women. Women's ultimate desire: Women ultimately seek a high-value man with many options who singularly chooses her, making her feel unique and valued. This requires men to develop themselves fully across various personal and lifestyle domains. Imperio

Whatever Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger - True or False https://youtu.be/zxMTekwz1HM Validity of the adage: Leo discusses whether the saying "whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger" holds true or if it's possible to be emotionally crippled by extreme challenges. Personal legal trial experience: Leo uses his intense emotional experience during a legal trial in Toronto as a context to explore the adage's meaning and reflect on its impact on his emotional state. Short-term damage from life choices: He acknowledges that difficult experiences, especially poor decisions, can short-term lead to self-doubt, fear, retreat, and an inability to live life to the fullest. Persistent scars from bad decisions: Leo contemplates whether such experiences can hinder someone's performance in the immediate and medium-term, possibly leading to a retreat from life's opportunities. Strength through suffering: He cites examples like addiction, financial scams, and personal loss as scenarios that, though initially painful, can foster growth and ultimately strengthen character. Reshaping identity after hardship: Leo asserts that while nobody wishes for trauma, catastrophic failures have the potential to redefine a person and inspire new motivations, leading to appreciation and gratitude. Mental resilience like callouses: He likens psychological resilience built through hardship to callouses formed on skin, which make it less sensitive and more robust to future wear and tear. Smooth-sailing lives and lack of resilience: Contrasting tough experiences, Leo warns that individuals with seemingly perfect lives lack the resilience that comes from overcoming adversity and may crumble if met with sudden challenges. Success from hardship: He points out that many influential figures have endured hardships and these struggles have armed them with the mental toughness to handle life's worst. Gratitude for past hardships: Leo encourages viewing traumatic events from the past as valuable, foundational experiences for building a grand life, fostering personal growth and resilience. Staying course through adversity: He advises to persist through challenges without giving up, and to reflect on traumatic experiences as platforms for growth, indicating that a true strength can emerge from such trials.

Profound Quotes 003 - Children Want Candy; The Intelligent Want Self-Control - Rumi https://youtu.be/RCrM6jC-fXg "The intelligent want self-control; children want candy" - Rumi Leo's Reflection on Rumi's Quote: Leo finds Rumi's quote profound and inspirational. He explains that the root problem of humanity is acting childishly by chasing after quick, temporary pleasures ('candy') instead of pursuing self-control, which is more important and fulfilling. Rumi's Identity and Work: Leo describes Rumi as a philosopher, poet, and mystic from the Middle Ages whose work encapsulates deep spiritual and enlightening concepts, and recommends his literature for those interested in profound psychological truths. The Pursuit of Excitement and Stimulation: According to Leo, people desire stimulation and excitement in various forms, from destructive behaviors like drug use to seemingly positive actions such as working hard at a job, though all are essentially forms of seeking 'candy.' Heroin to Career: Spectrum of Stimulation: He paints a spectrum that ranges from severe addiction (heroin) to socially acceptable goals (career, marriage), which, while more respectable, are still based on chasing external forms of happiness. The Illusion of External Success: Leo argues that socially accepted goals, such as working hard for a successful career or a good marriage, may still ultimately be equivalent to the pursuit of happiness through a substance like heroin, as they do not provide true fulfillment. Self-Control versus External Pursuits: The truly wise, in Leo's view, strive for self-control and self-mastery, understanding that no external achievements can provide lasting happiness if one does not have control over their inner world. The Zen Master Archetype: Leo's ideal state of being is exemplified by the image of an old Zen master: tranquil, serene, accepting, and not driven by external desires. This state is achieved through practices that foster self-mastery and focus on internal growth. Approach to True Happiness: For lasting fulfillment and happiness, Leo advises turning inward and prioritizing self-control over the pursuit of fleeting pleasures, which are akin to candy. Actualized.org's Mission: Leo promotes Actualized.org as a platform to aid in self-actualization. It provides resources that emphasize self-development, inner peace, confidence, and present-moment happiness, all aligned with the pursuit of self-mastery. Reducto

Judgment - How You Ruin Your Own Happiness https://youtu.be/6RaA5eQlCsU Understanding of Judgment: Judgment involves the mind creating arbitrary divisions within an undivided reality, categorizing things, people, situations, and self as good or bad based on personal likes and dislikes. Judgment and Survival: Judgment stems from the mind's survival instinct, constantly evaluating things for their utility in survival and reproduction, leading to a labelling system based on perceived usefulness or lack thereof. Misconception of Good and Bad: Leo explains that good and bad are not inherent in reality; they are neutral. The mind labels them as such, which leads to a relentless pursuit of what's perceived as better, resulting in an unfulfilling cycle of endless action. Consequences of Being Judgmental: Being overly judgmental leads to misery, dissatisfaction, and a toxic internal state that can negatively influence relationships and attract similarly negative individuals. Reduction of Judgment: The ideal approach to life is to see reality as it is, without the labels created by the mind. Reducing judgment leads to a more peaceful existence, and this requires mindful effort and mental retraining. Self-Actualization and Non-Judgment: Self-actualized individuals do not judge their reality constantly; they see things without a selfish valuation mindset and exist in harmony with the neutrality of reality. Judgment in Daily Interactions: Leo discusses how we often engage with objects, people, and situations from a self-centered perspective of "what's in it for me." He portrays this attitude as dysfunctional, highlighting that it leads to dissatisfaction since things may not always meet our expectations or desires. Consequence of Implementing Utility: He observes that treating objects or individuals purely as a means to fulfill personal needs without appreciating them wholly can rob us of deeper pleasure and contentment in life. Practice of Presence: Leo suggests that there is a profound pleasure in being present with an object or situation without expecting anything from it. He advises taking a moment to just "be with it," recommending this as a pathway to greater happiness and self-actualization. Micro vs. Macro Judgments: He reinforces the distinction between obvious ‘macro’ judgments and subtle ‘micro’ judgments made almost every second, often subconsciously, such as critiquing the size of a plate while cooking or wishing for lemons while looking in the fridge. Nature's Lesson in Non-Judgment: Leo provides an example of feeling at one with reality during a sunset, stating that the lack of judgment, not the scene's beauty, is what brings true fulfillment and peace. Mindfulness as a Tool for Awareness: He prescribes an exercise of mindfulness, just observing one's judgments without trying to stop them, to understand their artificial nature and impact on daily experience. Encouragement to Subscribe: Leo wraps up by emphasizing the importance of consistent personal development and invites viewers to subscribe to his newsletter on Actualized.org for updates on self-actualization techniques, promising that regular engagement with such material can lead to an extraordinary level of happiness and success.

Self Esteem - Understanding & Fixing Low Self-Esteem https://youtu.be/FeLpvgAVtU8 Definition of Self-Esteem: Self-esteem is characterized by two key components: self-efficacy and self-respect. Self-efficacy reflects one's confidence to handle life's challenges and create a good life, while self-respect involves believing in one's inherent value and right to happiness. Self-Efficacy Component: Self-efficacy pertains to the belief in one's capability to direct their life and solve problems. High self-efficacy signifies a sense of personal power and autonomy, whereas low self-efficacy is associated with feelings of victimhood and helplessness. Self-Respect Component: Self-respect is about valuing oneself and deserving happiness, good treatment, and refusal to settle for less. High self-respect indicates strong self-worth, whereas low self-respect can lead to being treated poorly by others. Quantifying Self-Esteem: To gauge self-esteem, Leo suggests ranking oneself on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of self-efficacy and self-respect, aiming for high scores for both to achieve optimal self-esteem. Self-Esteem as an Internal State: Self-esteem is determined by internal factors such as mindset, beliefs, and self-image, not external circumstances. Gaining control over one's life and cultivating a positive self-respect come from within. Recognizing Low Self-Esteem: Acknowledging one's level of self-esteem is crucial for improvement. A rank of 4 or below suggests a self-esteem issue that needs to be addressed without self-blame but with the intention to work on it. Self-Esteem Fluctuations: Self-esteem levels change over time and should be assessed on an average basis, rather than at singular low moments. Occasional dips in self-esteem are normal. Causes of Low Self-Esteem: The primary cause of low self-esteem is a negative self-image, often stemming from childhood experiences or traumatic events that lead to subconscious beliefs about oneself. These beliefs can limit one's potential and happiness. Unconscious Self-Image: Our self-perception, including strengths and weaknesses, consists of unconscious beliefs that can significantly limit our capabilities and potential. Nature of Negative Beliefs: Negative views about oneself, such as being unintelligent, unattractive, clumsy, or unworthy of love, are often deeply ingrained in one's self-image, largely stemming from childhood experiences. Origin of Limiting Beliefs: Limiting beliefs can be traced back to childhood, from age 3 to 12, when individuals are highly impressionable and negative remarks or unstable family environments can leave lasting detrimental impressions. Uncovering Self-Esteem Issues Through Journaling: Leo suggests using journaling as a method to retrospectively analyze one’s life, understand the roots of low self-esteem, and develop awareness that can lead to personal growth. Malleability of Self-Image: Emphasizes that self-image, although impactful, is not fixed and that personal development can lead to positive changes and increased self-esteem. Personal Development for Self-Esteem: Engaging in deep inner work, seeking therapy, coaching, and consuming resources like books and seminars are vital actions in the journey to enhancing self-esteem.

How To Become A Millionaire - The Truth No One Tells You https://youtu.be/LOPqhcH7dDc Understanding the Core Principles of Millionaires: Millionaires follow specific principles that differentiate them from the majority, who do not follow these principles, ensuring success and wealth. Reframing Luck and Control: Millionaires reject the notion of luck as a means to wealth; they are in complete control of their minds and their financial destiny. Personal Growth is Crucial: Becoming a millionaire is less about what one does externally and more about internal growth, as radical changes are needed in one's mindset and habits to create substantial wealth. Rejecting Victimhood Mentality: Aspiring millionaires must abandon any victim mentality and take full responsibility for their financial circumstances, not attributing their situation to external factors like the economy, family background, or education. Abandon Being a Statistic: To become a millionaire, one must reject the statistically average income levels and beliefs, making radical changes to increase wealth beyond typical career advancements. Importance of Empowering Beliefs and Lifelong Learning: Millionaires hold strong, positive beliefs about money and success, and are committed to lifelong learning to enhance their ability to create value and influence. Purpose Beyond Money: True millionaires have a purpose greater than just accumulating wealth; they are driven by a passion to make a positive impact on the world and use their influence for the greater good. Life Purpose as a Driving Force: To sustain the motivation and perseverance needed for becoming a millionaire, one must have a purpose that goes beyond money. Deep personal motivation is crucial for enduring the effort of both external business challenges and internal personal growth. Independent and Critical Thinking: Millionaires must think independently and critically. Not being limited by market trends, societal expectations, family pressures, or economic conditions is essential for success. Millionaires are often mavericks and rebels at heart. Necessity of Self-Employment: Achieving millionaire status typically requires leaving the traditional nine-to-five job behind and venturing into self-employment or entrepreneurship. This offers greater potential for earning and wealth accumulation. Embracing Risk and Taking on Challenges: Transitioning to self-employment can be daunting, as it involves risk and overcoming the fear of instability. This step requires taking charge of legal, marketing, and logistical aspects which were previously managed by an employer. Value Creation as Key to Wealth: To become a millionaire, one must contribute substantial value to the marketplace. The greater the positive impact on a large audience, the higher the return. Millionaires focus on creating products or services that are highly admired and influential. Transition Strategies and Opportunities: People aspiring to become millionaires should seek strategies and opportunities to transition from a salaried job to running a business. Exploring multiple paths and learning from the experiences of others are important. Commitment Over Luck: Wealth is not built on luck, but on a steadfast commitment to personal growth, creating value, and the continuous pursuit of entrepreneurship. Seeking easy, one-time opportunities like a lucky investment is not a viable path to millionaire status. Engagement with Actualized.org for Guidance: Actualized.org provides resources, strategies, and mindsets necessary to achieve one's personal and financial goals.

Relationship Advice - The Master Plan For Creating An Amazing Relationship https://youtu.be/Ixc0PkkYkHA Realization of societal relationship problems: Leo recognized a significant problem in society with relationships—evidently shown by the high rate of divorce and relationship dissatisfaction—which spurred him to engage with the pickup community for solutions beyond just sexual conquests. Motivation for studying pickup: Contrary to common perception, Leo's foray into pickup was not about casual sex but about achieving personal goals for an extraordinary relationship, which he observed was absent in his life and society. Relationship success requires intellectual effort: Leo advocates for applying substantial intelligence, consciousness, and practical experience to form and maintain an excellent relationship, going beyond casual approaches most people have. Assumptions about relationship expertise: Leo warns against the assumption that individuals naturally understand relationships, love, and communication, stressing that a lack of real knowledge leads to repeated cycles of dysfunctional relationships. Increase in divorce rates with remarriages: Leo points out the startling statistic that the likelihood of divorce increases with subsequent marriages, suggesting that many fail to learn from their past relationship mistakes. Need for relationship study: He compares mastering relationships to developing skills in professional sports or engineering—that is, through dedicated study, practice, and seeking knowledge rather than assuming competence. Self-improvement as a key to relationship success: Leo posits that the path to a better relationship is through personal development and insights into psychology rather than attempting to control others, who are beyond one's influence. Pickup as a path to personal development: Through correct practice, he suggests pickup can lead to deep personal development, necessitating acknowledgment of one's shortcomings and commitment to enhancing self-understanding and behavior. Necessity of sexual abundance: Leo argues that scarcity breeds neediness, which can destroy relationships. To succeed, one must cultivate options and avoid the desperate behavior portrayed in romantic media, which is unrealistic and detrimental. Financial stability's role in relationships: Leo refers to statistics showing financial difficulty as a leading cause of divorce, stressing the importance of financial literacy and stability to avoid creating relationship tension. Impact of health on relationships: Maintenance of physical health, through nutrition and fitness, is crucial. Poor health can lead to attraction loss and tension, with Leo highlighting the visual importance for men and the energy and vitality aspects for both genders. Psychological development for healthy relationships: Leo underscores the importance of addressing psychological issues like anxiety or neuroticism. These personal issues magnify within a relationship, potentially leading to its breakdown. Self-responsibility and development: Leo drives home the point that luck plays no part in successful relationships; they are the result of dedicated personal development, responsibility and mastery over one's own issues and behavior. Continuous effort for relationship understanding: Emphasizing the depth of work required for relationship success, Leo shares his extensive study and real-life experiences, advocating for continuous learning and improvement to achieve fulfilling relationships.

Staying Hungry - How To Use Pain For Growth https://youtu.be/CKpY8ksL1UE Staying hungry despite success: Leo discusses the importance of remembering one's origins when maintaining motivation despite having achieved success. He shares his own challenging experience with a legal case in Toronto, which reminded him of his own struggles and drives. Leo's tough legal battle: Leo fights a legal battle in Toronto without a lawyer, representing himself against an old client who owes him $23,000 and is counter-suing for $55,000. Additionally, he suffers a car accident, exacerbating the situation. Emotional triggers and killer instinct: The intense situation reignites Leo's old fears and emotional triggers about money from his childhood. He experiences a do-or-die mentality, tapping into a survivalist killer instinct as he argues in court, reminiscent of his past challenges. Relating to viewers' struggles: Leo connects with viewers who may be successful but experiencing complacency or those at the beginning stages of personal development. He empathizes with their struggles to rise up from 'level zero' and overcome obstacles in various areas of their lives. The dangers of complacency: He explains how success can lead to complacency, causing individuals to lose sight of higher goals and settle into a comfortable rut, which can prevent reaching higher levels of self-actualization. Rekindling motivation for impact: Leo shifts his motivation from basic needs to the impact he wishes to make on the world. He expresses his desire to treat making an impact as a basic need on par with necessities like food and water to overcome daily complacency.

Renewed hunger for life through challenges: Leo shares how confronting a significant challenge can reawaken a person's hunger for life, as struggling to overcome adversity can be more fulfilling than settling into a stagnant routine.

How To Start A Business - Bootstrapping A Successful Business https://youtu.be/iIVM772cL6k Motivation for Starting a Business: Leo discusses the importance of personal motivation when starting a business. He emphasizes that motivation shouldn't be limited to seeking money or escaping a 9-to-5 job but should be based on making an impact and resonating with one's own values. He warns against starting a business just for financial gain as it could lead to a 'hollow victory'. Creating Time for Business: Starting and running a successful business takes a huge commitment of time and energy. Leo shares his own experience of juggling a job and business, suggesting that sacrifices must be made in terms of personal life and other activities. He promotes the idea that investing time in a business is a short-term sacrifice for long-term benefits and transformation. Business Capital and Bootstrapping: He highlights the role of capital in starting a business and how, with creativity, one can start a business with low investment through the concept of bootstrapping. Leo shares how initially investing $2,000 in his business and reinvesting profits allowed him to grow without significant external capital. He encourages looking for resourceful ways to get services or products created, using personal time as capital. Alternatives to Bootstrapping: For business ideas that cannot be bootstrapped, Leo suggests methods like saving money, seeking outside investments, or utilizing crowdfunding platforms. He emphasizes the need for cleverness and resourcefulness in the absence of substantial starting capital. Capital Acquisition for Business: Leo highlights the importance of saving money or seeking investors when starting a business. He mentions various funding sources such as venture capital, Kickstarter, angel investors, and personal savings from a well-paying job. He also talks about the higher upfront investment required for brick-and-mortar businesses, making bootstrapping more challenging in such cases. Market Research for Business Success: Conducting extensive research about market segments, niches, and operational understanding of business and marketing is emphasized. He advocates for understanding potential customers through surveys and interviews to develop a targeted product or service that solves their specific problems, thus gaining a competitive advantage. Marketability and Iterative Development in Bootstrapping: Leo advices that when bootstrapping, it is essential to have a product that sells quickly due to a lack of extensive marketing budgets. He suggests an iterative approach to business, starting with a minimal viable product and using market feedback to refine and improve the offer. Avoiding Common Startup Mistakes: A significant potential misstep for new businesses is to ignore the market's desires, which can lead to product failure or unsustainable marketing expenses. Leo promotes testing product concepts and getting feedback early to align with market demands and avoid these pitfalls. Importance of Testing and Feedback: Continuous small-scale testing is recommended to understand market needs better and refine business strategy. This iterative process helps identify the perfect niche that ensures a profitable and successful business.

Life Coaching - The Powerful Benefits Of Working With A Life Coach https://youtu.be/8EYYp-sx1AU Leo's professional background: Leo from actualized.org introduces himself as a professional life coach who is passionate about studying and sharing personal development material, employing life coaching's unique tools, techniques, and strategies to help people with their problems. Unique value of life coaching: Life coaching is distinct from merely giving advice or educating; it offers a third-party objective perspective, accountability for action, and insights into one's challenges, leading to transformation in life quality from a 'normal' to an 'optimal' state. Difference between therapy and life coaching: Therapy treats individuals in a state of dysfunction with conditions such as depression and anxiety, restoring them to normalcy. Life coaching, however, aims to take individuals who are already functioning well to a higher, more optimal level of living. Logistics of life coaching: Coaching typically involves weekly phone sessions ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, where in-person sessions are rare due to impracticality, though they may occur in corporate settings. Coaching sessions dynamics: During a session, clients present their issues to the coach, who then engages in questioning to clarify and resolve these problems, potentially leading to immediate mental shifts or laying out an action plan for the future. Accountability in coaching: Coaches play a crucial role in holding clients accountable for their commitments, creating a serious professional relationship that demands time, money, and focus, thus encouraging clients to follow through with their goals. Client initiative: In coaching, the client initiates the process by presenting their own problem or challenge without the coach imposing their own agenda, ensuring that solutions are client-driven. Action plan and thought process: Coaching focuses on adjusting the client's perspective and beliefs while simultaneously devising an action plan, often assigning specific tasks like journaling or visualization to be discussed in follow-up sessions. The impact of coaching: The effectiveness of coaching may be hard to quantify as it often leads to subtle yet profound shifts in a client's life, influencing their beliefs and actions in areas like relationships, business, and personal beliefs. Misconceptions of coaching: People sometimes underestimate the value of coaching due to its abstract nature, not recognizing the potential long-term benefits it can provide. Misconception about coaching: People often assume coaching is for those with troubled lives, yet it's perfect for successful individuals aiming for the next level of achievement. The role of a coach for successful individuals: Coaches help successful people continue their growth by providing insights into potential and unrecognized abilities, encouraging them to aim higher and facilitating the development of skills like emotional intelligence. Self-awareness and acknowledgment through coaching: Coaches can identify their clients' potential and success that clients themselves may overlook, pushing them towards greater accomplishments. Coaches need coaching too: Even expert coaches benefit from coaching, gaining fresh perspectives and continued personal growth, demonstrating that no one is above the need for external guidance. Impact of coaching on personal development: Coaching can significantly shorten the learning curve in personal development by offering direct resources, ideas, and insights, leading to breakthrough shifts with the right idea at the right time. Successful people utilize coaching: High-performers, such as CEOs and professional athletes, often have coaches to acquire unique insights, motivation, and perspectives, which contribute to their success. Coaching for clear direction: A coach facilitates clarity in one's life direction, goals, strengths, and weaknesses, which enhances decision-making and prioritization in personal development efforts. Short-term investment, long-term benefits: Coaching doesn’t require a lifelong commitment; a brief period of coaching can yield profound realizations and strategies that apply throughout life, justifying the financial investment. Cost objections as a limiting belief: Viewing cost as a barrier to coaching reflects a limiting belief that hinders personal growth, and individuals are encouraged to invest in coaching to overcome such constraints. Access to coaching resources on Actualized.org: Leo emphasizes the wealth of free personal development and coaching resources on his website, Actualized.org, which can serve as a starting point for self-improvement.

Daily Routine & Success: Leo underscores the importance of consistency within daily actions for achieving success, suggesting that a quality daily routine determines feelings of accomplishment and progression in life. Consistent Choices Build Routine: He describes routine building as a series of choices made each day, such as waking up at a predetermined time, that collectively strengthen one's routine and set the day's momentum. Feeling of Accomplishment: Successfully completing a list of intended tasks generates a sense of satisfaction, aligning actions with values and integrity, while supporting Abraham Maslow's idea of meeting the need for self-actualization. Discomfort from Inaction: In contrast, failing to perform tasks and choosing comfort over action leads to a sense of worthlessness, despite short-term enjoyment from activities like lounging and watching TV. Advanced Personal Development: Leo reveals that advanced personal development revolves around creating a robust routine that aims to improve all facets of life, including career and relationships. Daily Tasks Generate Momentum: By discussing his personal routine, Leo illustrates how actions from waking up to meditation contribute to daily momentum, leading to successful habits. Creature of Habit: He declares humans as creatures of habit, indicating that one’s life quality is profoundly influenced by their habits, whether productive or detrimental. Negative Habit Consequences: Describing the consequences of poor habits, Leo warns they lead to defensiveness, fear, disempowerment, guilt, and ultimately a downward spiral due to avoiding life's challenges. Power of Positive Routines: Leo champions positive routines for instilling a sense of success, vitality, fearlessness, and the desire for self-improvement, noting this upward momentum generates an openness to new ambitious goals and activities. Path to Fulfillment: A positive routine elicits feelings of strength and the capacity to welcome and face challenges, important for fulfillment in life. Reversing the Negative Spiral: Finally, Leo advises those in a spiral of procrastination to be patient in reversing their momentum, as it is a gradual process that can't be immediately jumped to the top. Concept of Momentum: Leo discusses the need for patience and momentum when returning to routines after a period of lapse, emphasizing the importance of a gradual increase in activity level to avoid burnout and ensure sustainable progress. Training Mind and Body: Leo highlights that routines help condition the mind and body to manage stress and challenges through a consistent and gradual process, promoting endurance and resilience over time. Importance of Baby Steps: The incremental progress of daily routines, while seemingly inconsequential individually, cumulatively leads to significant achievements toward personal goals and visions. Crafting a Positive Routine: Leo urges the viewer to create a daily routine that reflects their values and goals, which can include activities such as waking up on time, exercising, and allocating time for personal development practices like meditation and journaling. The Power of Small Habits: Small habits, such as a few minutes of journaling or visualization, starting the day with a healthy breakfast, and committing to other positive actions, are presented as key components to drastically improving one's life quality and success. Successful People's Routines: Observing successful individuals, Leo remarks on their strong, automatic routines that result from persistent execution over extended periods, serving as a model for the effectiveness of a well-maintained routine. Hurdles in Routine Creation: He addresses the challenge of the initial emotional investment required to establish a routine, noting the importance of commitment and consistency to overcome the discomfort and build habits that eventually become automatic. Structural Loss Post-Schooling: Leo mentions how the structure provided by school or family helps form routines, which many people lose upon becoming independent, leading to negative habits and a lack of personal routine. Building a Custom Routine: Leo encourages viewers to consciously plan and create a routine suited to their unique goals and preferences, starting with a basic structure and gradually incorporating new, beneficial practices while eliminating negative habits. Personal Development Implementation: Leo reiterates that true personal growth comes from translating theory into practice, particularly through developing and adhering to a powerful daily routine, thus fostering fulfillment and success.

True Value - How To Create Success Out Of Nowhere https://youtu.be/svS_P7mBhf4 Understanding True Value: Leo explores the concept of true value, contrasting it with perceived value that society, family, or others may impress upon us. True value relates more closely to individual benefits and personal fulfillment. Case Study - Video Game Designer: He shares an anecdote about a client who is a video game designer, initially unable to see the learning potential at his job. Leo reveals the client had access to the GDC vault, a goldmine for industry knowledge, which the client had underestimated. Societal Value vs Individual Value: Using the example of a Ferrari versus a Toyota Camry, Leo discusses how societal value can overshadow practical or true individual value. The true value lies in what something can genuinely offer to one's life and level of fulfillment. Apparent Value Versus True Value in Objects: The assigned price of an item like a book carries an apparent value, but its true value could be transformative if the book contains life-changing insights or inspires the start of a successful business. Personal Experience with Untapped Resources: Leo reflects on his own experiences, recognizing that he sits on a 'vault of gold' in terms of books and personal development resources that he has yet to fully utilize, demonstrating a common oversight of true value. Call to Action for Conscious Awareness: He urges the audience to consciously assess the true value in their lives — from diet and exercise to careers and personal development — to capitalize on resources that are often overlooked due to unawareness. Illustrating the Divergence between Apparent and True Value: Leo explains how a simple act, like reading a strategically valuable book, can dramatically alter one's life course, potentially leading from a menial job to creating a successful business and accumulating wealth. Encouraging Resource Utilization: Concluding the section, Leo invites viewers to consider the true potential value of the resources around them, including the content on Actualized.org, which could be instrumental in transforming lives and perspectives. Conscious Awareness and True Value: Leo describes conscious awareness as crucial for recognizing true value in various aspects of life. By contemplating and questioning the real value within different components like gym routines, dietary habits, business, family, hobbies, and social interactions, one can make more informed decisions that align with personal fulfillment and well-being. Value Traps and Societal Influence: Leo warns against falling into 'value traps,' where certain activities are pursued due to societal pressures or personal conditioning, without true alignment with one's fulfillment. He urges viewers to scrutinize their motivations, especially concerning apparent values like owning a luxury car or chasing promotions and money, which may not lead to genuine happiness or contentment. Independent-Mindedness for Success and Happiness: Leo suggests that to lead extraordinary lives, individuals must think independently and resist the mediocrity and superficiality often promoted by societal norms. He emphasizes the importance of critical thinking to discern true value from apparent value. Money, Success, and Fulfillment: While not inherently against the pursuit of money, Leo cautions against seeking wealth for superficial reasons. Authentic reasons for desiring financial success are encouraged, but pursuing money to appear more successful or due to societal conditioning may result in dissatisfaction. Choosing True Value: Leo challenges viewers to prioritize true value, which can involve sacrificing immediate pleasures, like socializing, for more fulfilling activities, such as learning and personal growth. He emphasizes that recognizing and acting on real value can lead to long-term success and fulfillment.

How To Be Yourself - Become Your Authentic Self Right Now https://youtu.be/w1JzhhDMcpw Struggle with Personal Authenticity: Leo shares his struggle with being authentic and the constant challenge of not becoming a people pleaser, influenced by the fear of others' opinions. Visualizing the Authentic Self: He describes the authentic self as a shining beacon within, obscured by layers of social conditioning, negative beliefs, and limiting ideologies, which dim one's true essence and potential for success. Impact of Inauthenticity: Living inauthentically hinders not only relationships and professional achievements but also personal fulfillment, as people are unable to express their true selves and be happy. Mental Image of Self Through Others' Eyes: Leo talks about the problem of constantly envisioning oneself from a third-person perspective, which leads to an overly empathetic and stunted expression of one's identity. The Approval Addiction: He explains the psychological dependency on external approval, likening it to a drug, and details how one compromises authenticity to gain compliments, love, or even tangible rewards like money and sex. External Validation vs. Inner Fulfillment: Leo critiques the pursuit of external validation such as approval and material gains, explaining how these are falsely equated with true happiness and fulfillment, which are, in fact, internal. Consequences of Inauthentic Behavior: He comments how even minor occurrences, like not confronting someone cutting in line, reflect a broader tendency to place others' opinions over one's authentic reactions out of a desire to avoid conflict or judgment. Realizing the Futility of External Pursuits: Leo calls for a recognition that the pursuit of approval and material rewards won't lead to happiness or fulfillment, advocating instead for a journey towards self-expressive authenticity. Extension of Inauthenticity: The act of not confronting someone who cuts in line reflects a broader philosophy of life where individuals lack assertiveness and confidence, often sacrificing their values and essentially their 'soul' for small gains like approval, love, or material rewards. Illusion of External Rewards: Leo criticizes the mindset of valuing sex, love, money, and assistance above authentic self-expression, suggesting that the temporary satisfaction they offer is not worth the cost of sacrificing one's fulfillment and authentic self. Superficiality of External Validation: He argues that seeking fulfillment from external validation, such as others’ opinions, wealth, or approval, is misguided since these fails to lead to deep, lasting satisfaction; true happiness must come from within. Cost-Benefit Analysis of Authenticity: Leo emphasizes that embracing one's authenticity comes with real costs but insists that the benefits of self-expression and fulfillment outweigh the risks of social debts and potential loss of relationships or jobs. Chances of Success through Authenticity: Authenticity is portrayed as the path to success and fulfillment; while it may change social standings, it attracts genuine relationships and opportunities aligned with one's true self. Practical Exercise to Embrace Authenticity: He advises making a list of life areas where being authentic could introduce conflict, confronting the potential costs, and deciding to prioritize authenticity over those costs. Self-Observation Without Judgment: To transition toward authenticity, Leo recommends observing moments of inauthentic behavior—such as altering one's natural responses to please others—without self-criticism, as a form of mindfulness. Encouragement to Be Authentic Despite Costs: Concluding his advice, Leo urges viewers not to 'whore out' their authenticity for superficial gains and to trust that the intrinsic rewards of being oneself will lead to greater happiness and success. Promotion of Actualized.org's Resources: Leo advocates the resources available on Actualized.org to master one’s psychology and achieve desired life results, highlighting exclusive content and the opportunity to win personal coaching sessions.

Ultimate Improvement through Self-Help: To Leo, self-help is the best method to achieve all facets of a fulfilling life, including emotional well-being, financial success, healthy relationships, and physical health. The Ordinary versus Potential Life: The average person tends to follow a predetermined societal path with limited fulfillment, while self-help presents the possibility of enhancing life's quality beyond the standard expectations. Self-Help's Transformative Information: Leo is amazed by the availability of books, seminars, and tools that promise a life transformation, believing they can revolutionize a person's view of the world and significantly improve various aspects of their lives. Imagining a Fixed World Versus A World of Change: Contemplating a world where change is impossible, Leo appreciates the dynamic nature of reality where personal growth and improvement are viable through self-help. Areas Impactable by Self-Help: The scope of self-help extends to financial wealth, relationships, personal achievement, and well-being, providing people tools to achieve what they desire most. Self-Help Movement and Misconceptions: He credits the last 50 years for the expansion of self-help, popularized by figures like Tony Robbins and Oprah. Leo warns against dismissing self-help as mere 'positive thinking' without substance, as it limits personal growth potential. Accessibility and Cost of Self-Help: Leo values the wealth of self-help resources available, from seminars to YouTube videos, and advocates investment in these often inexpensive materials, having personally spent money on them to gain life-changing wisdom. Building Self-Help Foundations: He cautions against seeking quick fixes through self-help, urging a foundational, long-term approach that gradually, sustainably transforms one's life using self-help resources. Short-term versus long-term self-help: Focusing solely on immediate problems like a business dispute or money issues is a short-sighted approach to self-help; building a foundation through continuous learning is key for an exceptional life. Becoming a life-long student: Embracing the role of a student and valuing wisdom and knowledge is fundamental, as it continues to benefit you throughout life, long after initial learning. Power of knowledge: The knowledge gained, even from one self-help video, can spark long-term changes like buying books or attending seminars, leading to a lifetime of benefiting from that wisdom. Investment in self-help: The effort put into reading books and attending seminars is an investment that will provide returns for the rest of one’s life, creating a foundation for personal success. Compounding benefits in self-help: Like managing a stock portfolio, substantial and consistent self-help efforts accumulate over time to provide significant, disproportionate dividends in personal growth. Overcoming initial slow progress: Patience is required in the early stages of self-help, as results may initially be slow, but with time and practice, substantial growth and benefits emerge. Creating a foundation of success: Adopting and practicing self-help techniques consistently builds a solid foundation for every aspect of life to become extraordinary. Diverse self-help practices: Engaging in various activities such as reading, journaling, meditating, and coaching fosters profound personal development and the ability to navigate life's challenges. Action and comfort zone expansion: Implementing self-help techniques and pushing personal boundaries leads to growth, learning, and the capacity to resolve recurring life problems. Solving problems at the root: Deep engagement in self-help uncovers the common roots of different life problems, enabling a cascade effect where solving one problem impacts others. Encouraging self-help involvement: Leo urges sharing self-help insights, engaging with Actualized.org, and taking advantage of the free resources, including weekly videos and articles, to aid personal transformation.

Id, Ego, Superego - Understanding An Old School Psychology Concept https://youtu.be/GC7KNAyDt4I Summarization of 'Id, Ego, Superego' Concepts: Leo introduces Freud's concepts of the id, ego, and superego and aims to apply these to modern personal development. He emphasizes understanding these parts of the psyche to improve self-control and overall happiness. Old School vs. Modern Psychology: Freud's models are considered somewhat obsolete, but Leo believes there are still valuable lessons that can be applied practically today. He contrasts old analytical psychoanalytical approaches with more applicable ideas presented on actualized.org. Analogy for Id, Ego, and Superego: An analogy from Jonathan Haight's book is used to describe Freud's concept: horses (id) represent basic desires seeking instant gratification, the rider (ego) symbolizes the conscious, rational control, and the critiquing father (superego) signifies societal moral standards. Issues with Freud's Model: Leo acknowledges the model's figurative nature and the difficulty in delineating specific roles within the psyche. He also points out that it does not literally represent the mind's workings. Understanding the Lower Self: Leo explains the lower self as the source of short-term pleasure and easy stimulation, which can be destructive through developing bad habits, even those that society deems acceptable, like excessive TV watching or partying. Revising the Concept of the Higher Self: Freud's superego is criticized for mixing societal and moralistic ideals; Leo suggests the 'higher self' should be understood instead as the more aware, conscious part of us striving for good beyond societal norms. Conscious vs. Unconscious Behavior: He reminds that actions for lower values lead to an unconscious lifestyle, causing both self-destructive habits and broader societal harm. Conscious behavior, aligning with the higher self, stands opposed to that and should be the individual's goal. Unconscious Behavior Consequences: Engaging in behaviors detrimental to health, relationships, career, or business is a sign of unconscious living, where the individual is not fully aware of the negative impacts of such actions. Higher Self Clarification: The higher self is distinctly separate from the Freudian superego, as it embodies pure consciousness without the mix of critical judgment. It aims for personal growth without self-deprecation. Freud's Model Revision: The critical aspect of the superego is better relocated to the id within Freud's model, allowing for a clearer distinction where the 'new' superego represents the higher, fully conscious self. Higher Self Attributes: Being fully conscious equates to making the best decisions, long-term thinking, controlling impulses, and having complete awareness, leading to a fulfilling and at-peace life. Peace vs. Motivation: Achieving peace through higher consciousness leads to a healthy emotional foundation that naturally encourages motivation and constructive action rather than laziness. Tug-of-War Within: Individuals experience a constant internal struggle between aspirations of the lower self and the enlightened guidance of the higher self, which influences decision-making and actions. Personal Development Path: Distinguishing between the lower and higher self is complex and requires introspection and experience. As one progresses, discipline and conscious living become more effortless and natural. Self-Actualization Realized: When one can effortlessly guide themselves towards beneficial and high conscious actions, this is the essence of self-actualization, indicating a clear understanding of the higher self. Promotion of Conscious Development: Leo highlights the importance of actively working on personal development to make healthy, conscious choices effortlessly and shares resources on actualized.org to facilitate this journey.

How To Feel Good - Re-Designing Your Life To Feel Amazing https://youtu.be/JAXrO2NiX_w Definition of a good life: Living a good life equates to feeling good, a concept embraced by ancient Greeks, Buddhists, and Hindu teachings. It involves acting virtuously and ethically, which leads to true happiness, contrasting the ephemeral satisfaction brought by material and sensory pleasures promoted in consumer culture. Preah vs Shreya: The two Sanskrit terms represent short-term pleasures (Preah) and long-term benefits (Shreya). Preah includes indulgences like junk food, recreational drugs, and entertainment, which feel good temporarily. Shreya, however, involves doing what is right and ethical, leading to a lifetime of fulfillment. Consumer society misconception: Many people mistakenly believe immediate gratification will lead to maximum happiness. This naive view is what consumer society often endorses, but sages warn that these short-term pleasures often result in long-term dissatisfaction and pain. Advanced notion of happiness: Achieving advanced happiness involves hard work, discipline, personal growth, and contributing to the benefit of humanity. Satisfaction comes from aligning personal and professional life in a way that serves others, thereby offering a more consistent and profound sense of well-being. Principle of Right Action and feeling good: Leo reiterates the principle of right action—doing what is morally right irrespective of immediate feelings. This principle suggests that when people are unhappy, they are likely avoiding long-term beneficial actions (Shreya), mistakenly favoring short-term pleasures (Preah). Overcoming bad habits with Shreya: To transition towards a life filled with Shreya, Leo advises replacing bad habits with good ones. Suggested habits include meditation, spending time alone for introspection, journaling, reading, studying personal interests, and focusing on personal development. These habits can lead to greater happiness and a better quality of life. Hard work as a spiritual habit: Leo highlights that engaging in hard work and productivity is not just beneficial but has spiritual significance. By working hard, one enters a state of flow, dissociates from lower self-concerns, and allows higher aspects of humanity to shine through, resulting in a profound sense of fulfillment. The benefits of physical exercise: He stresses the importance of exercise - whether it's going to the gym or practicing yoga - as an excellent way to stay healthy and uplift one's mood. Healthy eating as a keystone habit: Leo emphasizes that having a healthy diet is crucial since poor nutrition can hinder the establishment and maintenance of other positive habits. The necessity of eliminating addictions: He urges the elimination of all addictions, whether related to substances or behaviors like excessive media consumption, which can impede personal growth and well-being. Transforming negative thoughts: Leo mentions the importance of weeding out negative thoughts and replacing them with a positive thinking habit, acknowledging that although this requires effort, it's a critical step towards feeling good consistently. The difficulty and reward of habit change: Leo acknowledges that while initially painful, the process of shifting from immediate gratification to long-term fulfillment through good habits eventually leads to a more consistent state of well-being. The value of ancient wisdom and modern personal development: He suggests that his guidance combines timeless wisdom with modern personal development strategies, reinforcing that these principles have endured because they are effective. Engaging content and personal growth resources: In closing, Leo invites viewers to interact with his content, like and share the video, and sign up for his newsletter for additional personal development resources, including exclusive videos, articles, and a chance to win free coaching sessions. Offering practical life-improvement techniques: Leo ensures that his advice is not preachy but practical, based on his own experiences aimed at helping people lead a fulfilling life energetically and adventurously.

How To Love Yourself - How To Like Who You Are Right Now https://youtu.be/ufNOWvcfrE4 Concept of Self-Love: Leo clarifies the distinction between sexual self-love and a deeper form of self-satisfaction and comfort with one's identity, despite acknowledging imperfections which everyone has to some degree. Effects of Comparison and Insecurity: He admits his own struggles with appearance and the constant self-criticism and comparison to others that accompany insecurity, emphasizing how these negative thoughts can be pervasive. Perspective on Imperfections: Leo argues for the need to zoom out from a hyper-focus on imperfections, and to see them as a part of a larger, more complex life narrative, suggesting that other people often don't judge us as harshly on our physical flaws as we do ourselves. Focus and Perception: Leo points out that a magnified focus on imperfections, whether they are fixable or not, is a choice, and shifting this focus onto positive aspects of life diminishes the perceived importance of these flaws. Exercise for Self-Acceptance: Proposing an exercise of self-acceptance, he encourages viewers to stand in front of a mirror, look at themselves closely, and repeat affirmations of self-love, highlighting the importance of unconditional love towards oneself for overall well-being and the positive impact it can have on others. Discovery Through Affirmation: Leo suggests that through the self-love mirror exercise, individuals may uncover deeply rooted self-criticism, and encourages them to push through hesitations in expressing self-love, understanding oneself beyond physical or character flaws. Balance between Self-Acceptance and Improvement: Leo addresses the reconciliation between self-love and the desire for personal improvement, suggesting they are not mutually exclusive but rather a foundation for growth, including but not limited to physical changes or lifestyle improvements. Reconciliation of Self-Acceptance and Self-Development: Leo presents the paradox of needing to accept oneself while also acknowledging the necessity for personal growth. He acknowledges this conflict and advises blending self-acceptance with continuous development rather than seeing them as mutually exclusive. Acceptance as a Catalyst for Change: Leo champions the idea that accepting oneself as they are is not an end but a starting point for improvement. By not viewing life as predetermined, akin to a train on set tracks, but rather as flexible like a helicopter with freedom of movement, Leo highlights the vast possibilities for change. Self-Identification Beyond Imperfections: He prompts viewers to question their identity: whether they are simply their body, flaws, or life problems, or something greater, possibly with a spiritual dimension. Leo encourages expanding the understanding of oneself to foster self-love without the precondition of change. Empowerment of Decision Making: Leo conveys that self-acceptance can be achieved instantly through a resolute internal decision, emphasizing personal responsibility and the power everyone holds to grant themselves self-acceptance and forgiveness. Self-Acceptance as a Foundation for Growth: He posits that true self-acceptance leads to an 'awesomeness' that expands over time. It's not about settling for mediocrity but using a self-loving foundation to achieve greater heights of personal awesomeness. Addressing Mental Blocks Through Continuous Learning: Leo urges viewers to sign up for his newsletter, emphasizing the importance of continuously staying informed and working on one's mindsets, thoughts, and emotions to overcome internal obstacles and live an extraordinary life.

Personal Development Blueprint as a resource: Leo points to the Personal Development Blueprint on his website, which condenses critical principles necessary for success and fulfillment across all areas of life. Big picture learning and repeated exposure: Engaging with developmental content repeatedly is necessary to form a mental model that guides execution and avoids common pitfalls. Tailoring personal development to the individual: A personal development plan should be personalized, taking into account individual aspirations and circumstances for effective vision and goal setting. The bare-bones personal development plan: To get serious results, one must understand the big picture, set a vision with clear goals, seek coaching if needed, and eliminate distractions that waste time and energy. Detaching from Negative Influences: Leo describes the necessity of extricating oneself from negative social circles, psychological crutches, and addictions such as overindulgence in food or excessive internet use, which drain time and energy that could be directed towards personal growth. Eliminating Time and Energy Wastes: He emphasizes the importance of removing distractions like video games, pornography, and excessive TV watching, which not only take away from productive activities but also lead to lower states of consciousness, hindering the ability to follow personal development plans. Cultivating Positive Habits: Leo advises establishing habits that align with one's vision, goals, and life purpose. These may vary from individual to individual and could include exercising, yoga, reading, meditation, and maintaining proper sleep schedules. Understanding and Embracing Life Purpose: He stresses the significance of having a clear life purpose to concentrate energy and thoughts, providing direction for one's personal development plan. Without a purpose, efforts can become aimless. Importance of Journaling: Leo recommends incorporating daily journaling into one's routine to foster introspection and allow for future reflection on thoughts and ideas, even if it's just for a few minutes each day. Daily Meditation Practice: He insists on including a consistent meditation practice within one's personal development plan, whether it's for a short duration like ten minutes or up to an hour, as a tool for building mindfulness and self-awareness. Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind: Leo discusses the transformative potential of reprogramming one's subconscious mind to replace negative, limiting beliefs with positive ones, using techniques like affirmations and visualizations. Continuous Personal Development Engagement: He concludes by advocating for consistent engagement with personal development content, such as subscribing to his newsletter for regular updates and educational materials, to maintain momentum and achieve dramatic life improvements.
