  1. I think I have been trying too hard to be perfect and that prevents me from progressing naturally. I realized how it's important to see yourself as a human, and accept that your view of the world is partial, your logical capacities are limited and your point of view has several limitations. I think it's very important to embrace this instead of fight against it as it allows you to move forward in life without being too perfectionistic. I remember discussing with Leo on a thread, I asked him what would 1000IQ creature view human logic and ideas. He replied saying that we would look like rats to them. I think we keep forgetting the limitations of human rationality and we keep pressuring ourselves to be perfect and know all aspects of truth when we may be very limited. That's not an excuse to not try searching for truth, but still. I don't think being too perfect is a great idea.
  2. I suspect that: Make sure to work as hard as possible Make sure your working on the right things Working hard should be accomplished first. This is because if you initially concern yourself with working smart or working on the right things, then you will use it as an excuse to not work as hard (from my experience).
  3. If I could partner with Alex Hormozi that would be super cool
  4. My mother showed me an old video of me presenting a speech. I was so talented. It felt like it was literally a smarter version of myself (although he was in the 7th grade). Like seriously, I am sure if you saw that video you wouldn't think of that kid as a future college fail. Yet here I am. My friends and my family have told me that I quit too easy and don't believe in myself. I didn't take it as seriously as I should. This was clear evidence (at least for me) that I had huge potential, and am squandering it by not believing in myself. The reason for this, I have a very strong suspicion is because I was friends with a textbook narcissist who made me despise every part of myself. I will never let a person dictate what I can or cannot do ever again. That guy really destroyed my self image completely, which lead to distruction of my health temporarily and also my process in life. If your reading this, I wholeheartedly believe that one of the biggest crimes one can commit against another is to devalue a persons self image to the extent to which they don't believe they can achieve anything, thereby destroying all possibility of self-actualizing and progress. I will never let someone commit that crime to me again. I will not doubt myself again. Please don't be friends with narcissists they will ruin your life.
  5. I wanted to share this video. Intersex person with a penis and vigina who later turned into a guy with two dicks. For me what's astonishing is the fact that he seems confident and had sexual experiences which he can talk about. His game must be on point. If I was intersex I could totally see myself as becoming a victim and getting no ass. Additionally its interesting how he describes sex with men and woman. He says that he prefers sex with woman because they are 100 times more emotional, whereas men just want to fuck and evacuate. He does admit that having sex with men felt nice, but the emotional sex with woman was better for him. This led to decision to become a man in his teens.
  6. I just cancelled a party idk if it was a good idea
  7. Okay so this is what I will do: - Learn drop shipping basics. - Get a product and use the framework used in Alex Hormozi 100 million dollar offers. - Use 100 million dollar leads to advertise the product.
  8. I'll go ahead with business. One thing that's definitely motivating is thinking about the opportunity cost of committing to business. Because I am committing to business, I have less time to contemplate truth, less time to perfect my game. So I have to give it my all everyday because I am already paying for the time I am using to build a business.
  9. I’m in a walk thinking about what area of my life I should commit to. Woman Business or Philosophy. their all very needed. Not pursuing each and any one of them comes with a price. Each area of my life comes with overcoming difficulties. I suspect that one of the reasons for why I don’t fully commit to one is because when I do temporarily commit I realise that it’s not that easy. No-matter what area in life I commit to I realise I can’t skip the pain and hard work. It’s unavoidable. That’s such a bitter pill to swallow. But this understanding is what is now forcing me to chose a path. I am currently convinced I should go for business. Simply because I am encountering a lot of people who are in business, I know people that are succeeding and so I have the environment to learn. Philosophy is the same, I can get that environment. I know a Ramana Maharishi teacher Micheal James who I can learn from. dating wise, I’m in uni so a lot of woman. But il be honest the amount of people in my city is small. So il probably need to save some money to go to bigger cities. each path is hard, I just gotta pick one and stick with it.
  10. I also got in contact with my university therapist. Maybe it will help me with some of the struggles I face in life.
  11. My mom gave me a speech about how I keep self doubting myself and that’s why I’m unsuccessful. She gave me such a speech before but this one hit different. Additionally I feel like I need to ground my life on a goal. I have to make a decision. What will I focus on, and just focus on that. Is it dating. Business. Philosophy. There’s drawbacks to not pursuing any one of them but I must decide and stick with it.
  12. I need to get some ass asap, I can’t think of nothing else shshshs fuck
  13. @Sugarcoat The two surgeries he got, watch the vid dawg. One I think he already had, the other was almost complrelty artificially created from my understanding.
  14. I see self-improvement as having two modes: enhancing the quality of how you enjoy what you already do or working to change external circumstances. I've been focused on the latter, but maybe shifting to the former would be more beneficial for me.
  15. I started meditating in efforts to try to fix my ADHD. After a meditation session today, I had a few moments of more presence. I realize that Im so unpresent naturally and I am emotionally too volatile. I'm in my head too much and am going crazy slightly. Im not grounded at all.
  16. Who's Dan Joe?
  17. Instead of asking whether or not I can do something, maybe I should ask what is the best decision I can make. And just focus on doing that.
  18. I keep trying to look for answers outside me. I am starting to stop this habit, and am looking more inward. I really think this is a positive change.
  19. I want to be an integrated man.
  20. I think I have to become more ruthless in general. More ruthless with my time, more ruthless with people. I am the opposite right now and it's costing me success in life. This is all speculation, but I think its true.
  21. If your reading this actually maybe give me your opinion. how can you progress in life if your busy processing every emotion. to be successful I realise you just gotta suck it up, do the work, cast out the unnecessary emotions involved. otherwise you can’t move forward. I mean try processing every emotion. You’ll just be stuck.
  22. I think I am over emotional and have to develop the more heartless part of myself so to speak.
  23. I’m thinking maybe the whole you should “process your emotions” is just dogma. I ate it up, and now I seem to be hyper emotional. it might not be dogma, but I definitely took it in as dogma.
