@Dan Arnautu Really good idea, much appreciated. It's actually so funny that I just stumble across your post now too, because we had a quick chat quite a while ago, and (not being very active on this forum lately) I just revisited that and whatched your Beyond the Dark Sun cover So, about my situation. I am facing great uncertainty at the moment. I study international business, which I do not really like. But it is not incredibly hard or time consuming, while at the same time paying my bills, because my father loves it and supports me quite a lot as long as I keep studying it. I will be done in around 2,5 years, half a year of which I will need to spend abroad for an internship. My life purpose however, is to inspire and enable people to reach their full creative potential, music being my domain of mastery and by far the most important thing in my life. However, I discovered that somewhat late, starting to take it seriously (by learning guitar) just over a year ago. So this leaves me in a strange situation. Having an abstract life purpose, but not having the skills to execute on it, and also not really knowing what it means concretely. At the moment I am also trainee of a financial services company, doing sales (mainly investment and insurance). It works somewhat like a franchise, so it's basically me having my own business. I do really like it and I think the work we do is important and ethical, so I planned on doing that as a day job while building my life purpose business. More and more however I am finding out that this kind of day job will be very time and energy consuming in the future. So while I enjoy it and it will pay a lot of money at some point, it will propably stand in the way of my musical pursuits, especially considering that I am still studying on the side and also want time for personal development/spirituality. I am not sure though, maybe, since it's my own business, I will be able to manage the time component. I have asked the managers about that, and they told me I will be able to manage, I can't really trust them on that though, because they obviously want me to stay. So now that you know my situation, what do you think I should do? What could the next steps in the direction of a music/teaching music business look like? Should I keep the job that I enjoy and learn a lot from, risking that it will hurt my life purpose (then having to quit my business after having invested all that time)? Should I even keep fucking studying, just for the sake of it (not that I hate it, but it doesn't seem very useful either)? I just feel so lost, I need a direction, a path that I can walk head on. Actions that I can take daily. Any feedback on that would be so helpful, I love you guys <3

@Samra Your idea is absolutely amazing! I also really like your work, would be infinitely grateful if you could do one for me. But I see there's a lot of requests, take your time, you are amazing I am starting to learn about music, a field of reality that is so utterly powerful, beautiful and inspiring to me, just typing this gives me the chills. I see myself in the future, being an expert at music, my instrument mainly being the electric guitar. I inspire and enable people to live their full creative potential (that's my live purpose statement btw). I especially love brutal and dark music (metal mainly). I envision myself as a warrior, my live doesn't belong to me, but I am a servant of the personified divine creativity itself. Maybe one day I will be able to capture your visions in music, an absolutely inspiring thought for me. Thank you

Start. Playing. Guitar. You. Idiot!

Hello fellow seekers, I am confronted with the following challenge right now: Since almost two years now I am studying International Management. I used to think that this whole marketing and sales thing was right for me, but the more I develop the more I start to strongly dislike it. I just can't see myself working in a big automotive company or anything alike. My real passion, since a few years now is music, the issue with that is that I found it relatively late and am therefore not as skilled yet as other musicians my age who started at age 12. I will be able to make up for that by working harder and more stratigically, however, I don't really know where to start. I feel very lost in my field of study right now, my father however feels like it is a great chance for me to "make it" in life. He does not understand at all that driving a fucking Ferrari is of very little importance to me. I have considered switching to studying music, not for practical reasons, but simply because I am fascinated by pretty much everything musically, and also to get to know some people who I will be able to get some valuable advice from. This is however not a possibility right now, as places on these university are ridiculously limited, and as I already said, I am not good enough to compete at the moment. All of this leaves my in kind of a weird situation right now, since I do know the field I want to study, even though I do not yet know what exactly I want to be doing for a living yet. It feels like swimming in the middle of the ocean with no idea which direction to go, but staying where I am is just a bad option. I am quite sure a few of you have been in a similar situation and would appreciate some direction amd advice

This dude is awesome, never heard of him before. I'm going to check out some of his other stuff, thanks! Edit: Holy shit, he is great! I watched some more of his videos and he has exactly the raw, in your face approach that I need to find the energy and courage that I need.

This is exactly what I think and how I feel! Business seems to be a field where autodidaction is far more effective than formal education. Thank you for the reassurance I was thinking about reading that book for a while, just got it today now after you recommended it. So thanks a lot, I think I will find some great insights and direction in there. 1. Like I mentioned above, that is exactly the way I feel, to me, it's just a waste of time 2. This is what I am doing right now, but I spend so much time and especially energy going to university and studying that I started to wonder if this is the best way to do it. I am not sure however if a 9-5 will be any better in that aspect. At least I would earn money that way I guess. 3. I will be thinking about that now, since their support is quite helpful for me at the moment and if I could get them to support my music, it would be a HUGE deal. 4. I live in Germany, so studying is realtively cheap. They do however pay for food and stuff like that, so I can live without needing an income at the moment, which gives me a lot of spare time and energy to put into music Your Comment was VERY helpful and very practical, thank you, I will try to do the Plan A, that you recommended. I'll let you know how it goes.

Well thank you for all the nice answers, I guess I will have to safe up for it, since all the feedback that the course got is so damn positive

I'm really interested in this too. It would be very helpful for me, as I struggle with enlightenment work, as I simply don't know what to do. This video actually helped me with this. Also, does it make sense to watch the beginning of the visualization again, even when I do not identify myself with stuff like seeing or hearing at all? Does it make sense to jump right to inner feeling or thinking, and repeat that as a daily enlightenment practice?

While meditating, my biggest issue is just staying awake and keeping my eyes open. It really keeps me from getting the full benefit of meditation and enjoying it. Have any of you experienced this issue before? How did you deal with it? Thank you for your help

Thank you, I will definitly keep on Thanks for the tip, I'll try this out in my next few sessions and tell you how it went That's why I always meditate in the morning, before going to University. Unfortunately that's when I am still tired, even thou I focus a lot on getting enough sleep.

@Leo Gura On a deep level, I knew that this was what you were gonna say, but I guess I was hoping for an easy solution Well, the easy way is the hard way anyways I guess Thank you for everything, you're work was the key to changing my life right now <3

@Leo Gura So what do you actually recommend? I'm in the same position right now, and I'm really unsure of what's the right thing to do

I noticed that often times my legs are getting numb when i sit crossed legged, so at the moment I am looking for an alternative

Dealing with the same issues, horribly addicted to video games, trying to break free for the last 2 years basically. So any help is welcome.

Yesterday I saw a post on this forum about personal development routines (I am going to link it down below). The guy who started the topic mentioned he was doing NoFap, and that he got really good results from it. If you don't know (like me), NoFap is a term used to describe the act of cutting porn and masturbation out of your life. Now because I am really curious about this and also because the benefits he said he has from it really seem like the stuff that I am missing in my life, I wanted to ask if any of you have experiences with NoFap and/or can give some tips on how to do it effectively. Also I was wondering if NoFap has anything to do with having sex. Thank you for your help

Is that the only thing you eat in the morning? Or what else do you suggest to eat in the morning?

I made a topic about it where i actually asked if sex should or shouldn't be included. Because personally I feel like cutting sex out of my life would not be beneficial at all.

That sounds amazing, I've never acutally heard of it before. I think I'm gonna start a new topic about this to see what experience others have with this

I'm curious about the NoFap part. What does it help you with? Do you have any ressources on it?

I can't really say I have a favourite video, propably the step-by-step enlightenment video, but I remember the first video I saw was Leo talking about how to make girls squirt :D. And that's what really got me into watching his content, which then really got me into personal development. It's kinda funny in what ways we sometimes discover things that then absolutely change our lives
