I contemplated for 45 minutes- What are the lessons from my failures in life ? Here are the answers. -That more I avoid failure the worst it will hot me -That I will always have the chances to succeed -They more I avoid hard work more I will fail - I care too much about girl's action -That random actions are inefficient in succeeding -Being 100% honest about my hardwork and then taking action to fill the gap can improve my chances of succeeding -That my actions are far more important to my life than other's actions -That of I don't accept failure then I will be constantly reactive to it which will make success less likely -That it doesn't matter how much I fail but weather I try again after each failure -That putting consistent effort in right direction is far more important than directionless effort -That failures are better test of succeeding in life than success themselves -That failures are not a negative thing but unsuccessful attempts -That I overgenralize and catastrophize negative events

@Davino While focusing on connection is good but also the acceptance of rejection is another great thing which reduces the pressure on the people to find someone.

@Rafael Thundercat I think it was more of a sarcasm or mocking.

I contemplated for 35 minutes - How to follow my intuition in life ? The answers that I got . - By following my strong thoughts -By first thinking through the consequences of my intuition -By only following my strong feelings -By acting according to strong internal anticipation -By moving according to my internal compass -By realising that my internal compass is better predictor of success than external forces - By realising that intuition is different from being lost in thinking

@Rafael Thundercat I didn't understood that. What do you mean?

@Leo Gura Have you tried acceptance of negative emotions? How you deal with negative emotions in general ? @TheEnigma I remember that I used to be jealous of a couple. But when I accepted my jealousy it faded away quickly and left a smile on my face.

@Nemra Leo explained in his video avoidance of truth. Truth tellers have to be killed and imprisoned because they are gonna spoil the fantasy of society at large. Example - Socrates , Gandhi etc. @Leo Gura So there must be serious consequences of building things on falsehood that these institutions have to go through. And since you talked about survival a lot what are your views on thriving. Like can one thrive in life without falsehood or is falsehood necessary for thriving in society ?

Thanks

But when the word reality is uttered it causes a different mental imagery than the word pineapple. Language has varying words with distinctions to what they point to. Objects in that case empirical reality in your direct experience and merely conceptualizing about it is not the same thing as touching and object. Suppose you touch a hot stove , no matter how much one conceptualized it the reality of it being hot stove will never change unless you dismantle the stove and even then it is an empirical object.

@Ramanujan I used to take MBTI and could possibly check them in the future too. And as per the book I prefer contemplation more than it.

In that case all language is just a symbol that points to something. But certain words like reality , experience,actuality are more closely tied to absolute and are better representations.

@Nilsi But I think that there are empirical words. Not everything is subjective and relative.

@Joshe Asking questions to oneself is not only great in developing intuition but also an important life skill which improves other areas of life. @Davino and @Jacob Morres great answers .

Ok as you wish but do share it.

That's nice. As per Stoicism I think that it's been hyped up nowadays but original works like meditations by Marcus Aurelius etc. are still valuable.

Could you share the advice by Stephen Covey about intuition?

So if you are talking about battle tested ideas then have you read Stoicism? I mean the original works. And what's your progress reading those books by Stephen Covey or someone else could please share. By the way I have read 13 books which include books from self-help and philosophy.

@Ramanujan I have also read books but I found that thinking for yourself or contemplation is a great tool. Even those people who wrote books they experimented with their ideas through reflecting etc. which is the essence of contemplation. I am not talking about following leo but following oneself.

@Ramanujan I didn't know that Stephen Covey also wrote about intuition. But contemplation is a far more important tool than any book.

@waheed Yeah it takes practice.

I contemplated for 30 minutes- How do I achieve more in my life ? These were the answers that came to me. - By moving forward no matter what -By realising that I am capable of it -By looking in the future in a hopeful way no matter how much I fail -By acting on my hope -By moving forward with my life force -By realise that all failures will fall apart due to forward moving force of life - By realising with time I can achieve me -By balancing action with hope -By accepting failure and then again acting with hope -By realising that even problems outside my control are temporary and will be gone -By focussing first on what I have achieved and then then moving forward I then typed these answers in Claude and asked - Rate each insight out of 100% for accuracy. Here was the answer from the side of Claude.

Yeah I know people even use Ai for therapy than research. Ai can also be used for testing your insights accuracy even though real life application is better than it.

Usually 30 minutes and once in a week. Few times I contemplated for an hour.

I contemplated for 45 minutes - What can I learn from my past rejections ? These were the answers that came to me - To pursue girl whom I like -To not to pursue girls who show signs of disinterest -To choose girls based on their actions towards me -To not to be needy towards girls -That guys who are accepted by girls are not happier than me - That I have overcome multiple rejections -That girls who show signs of disinterest aren't worth spending time -That it doesn't matter weather a girl rejects me or falls in love with me what matters weather I am overcoming rejections or not -They didn't deserve me - That some girls will like me while some will hate me Do let me know your thoughts.

Well said.
