@Miguel1 ok.

@Leo Gura ok thank you .

@Leo Gura ok but I still fear when checking my result for an exam even tough I have gone through many exams.

@coburn ok thank you.

@Keryo Koffa you can use positive narratives to make the pain less intense.

Any update on the courses since Leo told that he will be releasing the courses this year and it is already going to be the end of year. I am literally starving for the mind course however I must question that impulse . Like why I am starving for the course ? Because I think that I am nothing without Leo's course. Why do I think so ? Because I think that I am empty handed Why do I think that I am empty handed ? Because I think that I have nothing Why do I think that I have nothing ? Because I imagine it to be true Why do I imagine it to be true ? Because I think that it is truth Why do I think that it is truth ? Because I don't know what truth is. By the way sorry for bugging you all unnecessarily.

@Thought Art yeah 😂

@Thought Art listened to it and it was a good song.

@Thought Art I didn't understood 😂.

@Thought Art thank you.

@Thought Art yeah it's descent.

Contemplation - How do I overcome challenges in life ? 1-By recognising that external circumstances are not under my control 2-By hoping that I can improve 3-By acting Opinions are appreciated.

I was walking beside the mall was with my friends. I suddenly thought of buying a success course of Tony Robbins , Robin Sharma, Dr. Robert Glover. However I started questioning why ? Then I found that I think that I am not successful. Then I started constant self questioning. When I reached my hostel - I sat down and contemplated for 5 minutes that What would happen if I start thinking that I am already successful in life ?- Answers came - I would be happy, I would be confident, I would respect myself more. Then I contemplated for 30 minutes - Why must I think that I am already successful in life ? Answers were- .Because I am already successful and attractive .Because thinking otherwise would hurt me .Because I have overcome tough odds of life . Because I am already trying .Because I already achieved my Target in the past (this answer is special as I have scored 80% in past and attracted some girls which is the evidence) .Because it will enhance my mood .Because it will detach me from external frivolous things .Because I already am

@Lila9 great words.

@Thought Art ok.

@Thought Art I was talking about the fact that I heard about the book. I just now researched that about the book again on Wikipedia. The Practice of Living Consciously The Practice of Self-Acceptance The Practice of Self-Responsibility The Practice of Self-Assertiveness The Practice of Living Purposefully The Practice of Personal Integrity This is what it showed.( I copy and pasted)

@Thought Art yeah I know about six pillars of self esteem. Thank you.

@universe overcoming the odds of life.

Any idea guys. My mind constantly puts the image of negative hypothetical scenarios of future, how I will angrily react in the future etc. Also during these exam days I am feeling very bad.I also have anger inside me like how people didn't allowed me to date by saying to study and I will get arranged marriage(which I don't want),. I become extremely angry when I see a couple and here in college couples are present all around me and during studying also these thoughts race through my mind - everyone has a girl except me. Sometimes I think of suicide but then I think that life is precious- once gone then can never be rejuvenated. I have painful memories from past racing all the time . How could I overcome this because I see that I am doing ok in my career and I am answerable in classes much more than those who are dating(they cheat in exams whereas I live with integrity). How to climb out of this black hole ?

@kenway maybe taking responsibility for my emotions is the way out ?

Yes I have watched Leo's video regarding it but I just have a question that what's the perspective of you guys and our Leo's recent perspective whether that video holds true ?

@Snader a mindset helped me to break out of it was - I cannot control what happens to me in future but I can control what I can do . I was having a bad practical exam and the next day it went well due to shift in the mindset. Even tough I cannot control what questions I will be given but I can control what answers I write in the theory exam .

Yes congratulations everyone even tough we don't know what's upcoming in the future.

Yes everybody is already resilient( the forum people and real life people including me) . I have been through all the tough times such as death of a loved one , trauma,threat(right now I realised that the person who threatened me is the don of college - so I atleast told him ethically that I was hurt by his threat, which could be a sign of courage),rejection,exam failure,jealousy etc.

By the way last year I approached 56 girls and got a one blowout. Also that totals up to near about 76. Which is the amount of girls I approached in my life including random + known girls. @nhoktinvt that's ok. However, I fear approaching random strangers because guys here are too insecure and threatening.And also I said "I love you " to 3 girls in my life. Thank you guys for the appreciation.
