@Brittany Just because they don't act on their attractions doesn't mean that they are not attracted. We have the ability to control ourselves. Like if you become a catholic priest. Your religion forbids you having sex. Still I think every non-asexual priest will feel attraction when there is a certain spark in the room. At least that is what the evidence points towards.

Well it's not that you are poor and that is why you don't have a successful business. You are poor because you don't have a successful business. And because you are not a prolific artist and because you are paying credit card fees. These things you listed aren't even so bad. Wait until you are wealthy and see what kind of shit you have to deal with then. You will pay a lot more taxes. The top 1% in the US is everyone who earns 500k/year. Other countries have it easier, for example in Australia it would be 250k. If you don't know why Leo has become financially well off you haven't been paying close enough attention to what he teaches. If you create value, you will get value in return. Guess what he has been doing in the past? The way is simple. Find something you love to do with a purpose. Get really good at it. Create massive value for society. Let society compensate you for it. And even if you don't get rich, you will still be happy knowing you are doing what you love to do. To integrate any Spiral Dynamics stage you have to dive deep into it.

What is even the most exciting thing? If you think being on a yacht and flying charter jets is exciting than maybe. But you can go sky-diving and have sex in the park for way less. Then maybe watch your girl give birth to your child. Whats the saying, the best things in life are free or something. Even rich people worry about money. Stopping to worry about money is an emotional mastery first and foremost. And if you live in a first world country your basic needs you need for Maslow's hierachy are met from birth. 1% isnt crazy rich. You are talking about over 3 million people in the US alone. And no there is no success or wealth requirement for enlightenment as far as Im aware of.

This question is answered in this video. Of course it's not just black and white and you got do define what success means to you.

No they are not but somehow society manages to worship them in a strange kinky way.

Define what success means to you. Be wise with the definition. It's ok if your definition of success changes throughout your life.

Congratulations! You have been a good worker ant and made someone who is playing this game a little better than you a nice stash of money! I don't mean that to diminish your work, it's certainly honest and a good service you are doing. But if you want to implement yourself better and get more involved with your work you need a vision for what you want to do with your life. What is your plan? Do you want to keep working customer service your whole life? I've never been to Kroger but the idea that grocery workers would overly socialize with me sounds ridiculous.

What do you want to achieve? Habits can be nice to get shit done and to develop mastery. But you can achieve many great things without going to bed early and other habits. Make your goal something worthwhile that is big enough to sacrifice freedom. Or let your life become a mess if that brings you closer to your goal. Look man, you already have habits. Everyone does. What you are afraid of is changing these habits. Because if you want your life to change, you need to change. That means some part of you has to die. Death is inevitible for change. There is no getting around that. Accept the death of that part of you that needs to let go. Or don't... and stay where you are at.

@tatsumaru You are reading too much into it. Saying "I want to be with you forever" can be true if that is how a person feels like in the moment. Of course they might love someone else later, how should they know? Also getting a divorce doesn't have to be embarassing. Not everyone thinks that the state/church is this almighty entity without failures. In fact, many people cheat in marriages or get a divorce. Marriages, like religions are traditions that helped the survival of certain communities. I'm neither for nor against marriages but there can definitely be logical or emotional points be made in favour of them.

love is just neediness and attachment for survival purposes. Love is all there is and everything else is imaginary. ❤️

1. Constant stress, for example from work/school will cause your cortisol levels to increase in your body. Which in turn lowers testosterone. Get rid of that stress. Meditation is good. 2. While this constant tension and stress on you is bad - stepping into tension for short amounts of time will increase your masculine energy through the roof. So see where you can play with tension in your daily life that is on par with the level you can tolerate (or just a tiny bit above). 3. Clean up diet (less sugar, fast-food, toxins). 4. Sport (especially heavy and HIIT). 5. Good sleep.

Highly personal question. I'd buy one BTC. In a year or two you would have 100k again. The rest invest in yourself and in your purpose. Either in training, equipment or marketing.

I'd still love her. Say no to robot hate. Still waiting for part two of Alita battle angel

@Origins & @Jacob Morres I think you two would connect better if each of you saw that video

Some people just are like that. See it as a blessing. You found out sooner rather than later. Don't waste mental energy on them. But if this is something that is reoccuring in your life it's worth to look deeper into it. Use this time to feel into your feelings of being "worthless, dumb, stupid and angry and used". Allow these emotions to be there, give them space. They are there for a reason. Use them as navigation. And maybe take a look if you are misinterpretating or reading too much into these situations. For example, a good friend would not help you out and then expect to receive the same help the next day. If you had a bad day or couldn't be there for a friend one day, a good friend would not question their whole friendship and intentions immediately. For example. sometimes when I meet new people there is a small chance I will disappoint them and they write me a message. Telling me how I wronged them and maybe demand that I explain myself, or that they end contact. These messages always take me by surprise and I can't understand how they intepreted a situation like this. I mean I can feel for them and understand their perspective but it's just that their reality is so disconnected from my reality that I feel like we are not even talking the same language. You know what I mean? Furthermore, their way of communication and thinking indicates that they are not willing to expand or value the relationship. I guess it has to do with the psychological bias that we want to fulfill the expectations other have of us. If you want to take advantage of this, instead of telling people that they dumped you, thank them for being such an awesome friend! This way they are more inclined to fulfill your expectations and be your awesome friend.

It's part of the game. I'd recommend you to pursue financial education and emotional mastery.

If you still need an income from a job to survive and pay bills and... If you can't earn enough with your own business already... then yes, it's better to get a job in your niche than to go work for Mc Donald's. Finding a job where you can actually learn something can be hard, it's easier to learn from people if they don't also have to pay you.

How do you know the "medic/ nurse/ assistant" you talk about have this mindset? In general, our society values life way more than death. Many factors contribute to this Projection - People want to live and automatically assume everyone else does as well. Survival bias - We put a lot of work into our own survival, helping to do the same confirms our own survival bias. Ego - Fundamentally, seeing ourselves seperate from everything else keeps us in a constant fear of death. Unability to accept reality - Lifelong habit of rejecting reality and resisting what is. To add to that, death from a non-dualistic perspective is final. When someone feels bad or has pain there is always the chance to improve the situation. Either by healing/lowering the pain, mastering emotions, mindfulnes or what have you. But if someone is dead that is final. Coming back to your question. You are GOD, the "medic/ nurse/ assistant" and everything. You want reality exactly the way it is. Including vegetative states and nightmares.

I wouldn't say that Tony is the best coach, or flawfless or whatever. But I'm sure his career has been an overall net positive for many. He is good at getting people out of their victim mindset and taking responsibility. She seems a little condescending. Her knowledge about relationship issues seems very biased and from a quick glance over her channel she seems to be all about exposing and shaming people. Wouldn't be surprised if she makes an actualized.org cult exposing video next.

@Nahm beautiful, now & here ❤️

You can also print the Mona Lisa and hang it on your wall. Or pay someone to paint it for you. I think it has less to do with technology and more with the art market in general. I don't understand it either.

Closing this thread for low quality. Now you can say, doesn't matter had sex.

What does it mean to "not be valued in society"? Does it mean that the cashier won't smile at me, that my family won't love me, my friends will think I'm a looser and that I won't find a partner? I mean this term is pretty wishy washy. Also success has different meanings for everyone. Don't waste your time thinking about who is to blame for what and being a victim. Or trying to please someone. I think she also falls a bit into the trap of "not being the opposite sex" Like if I would make a video telling everyone that girls don't want to look good but have to put up makeup everyday because of society. Well, yeah that might be true to some extent but let's not ignore that woman have the tendency to like to care for their body and just feel pretty. Make everything around them more beautiful. Correct me if I'm mistaken on that. So yeah we guys collect and gather resources and expand into the world because of society. But I am also deeply driven to use these resources and create something of my own. Penetrate the world so to say. That is how I guess many man feel.

@longusername12345 Many interesting questions. As a whole, movies and tv shows are Art in the same way as literature, music or theater is. They are an experience, like everything else we experience. So I feel like there are many different ways you can use them for self-actualization. What is a movie in essence other than pixels on a screen? An immersive story. Stories have been used for centuries to deliver information in an entertaining way. And many people seem to enjoy stories. Insights You can get insights by watching a movie. Think about your current situation and how it relates to the contents of the movie. This requires that you are open to take the possibility that what was told in the movie is true and of value for you. Of course not every movie is made for this but Insights sometimes come in even the most surprisising circumstances. Moreover a good movie will make you start asking question. By presenting interesting scenes and withholding information until the very last moment. Think about how you can make things in your life more interesting or see thing in a more interesting way and ask more questions. Open Mindedness You can use movies to open up to new ways of living and new perspectives. We tend to watch movies with characters we like to identify with (because that is what movies do, they make you identify with people on the screen). You can increase your capacity to see thing from different perspectives, especially when you watch movies you might otherwise would not watch. Maybe a different genre, or a movie from a different country than what you are usually interested in. Focus More on a side note but watching a movie or series for any length of time requires focus. If you find yourself wandering off in your mind or getting sleepy just come back to the movie. Only watch movies or series mindfully. Don't let the noise and images just rain on you. Try watching a movie with a lot of information and see if you can follow it. Or try to watch an older movie that seems kinda boring to us now because we are used to more fast cuts and action. Emotions Movies are fine tuned to evoce your emotions. If you want to watch a movie because of emotions they can be a great medium to feel more connected with yourself. Set the intention to feel all the emotions the movie wants to make you feel and really open your heart. Then again think about ways in which you can integrate these emotions into your life. This is one of the main reasons why people watch movies. Before watching a movie make a conscious decision how that movie might make you feel and why you want to feel this way. Knowing why you want to feel certain emotions or maybe even need to feel certain emotions is a powerful insight. You don't want to use movies to fill a hole in you. Instead, use this information to work on your emotional mastery. We watch movies because they make life appear more fun, interesting and magical. Instead of using this to escape your reality, try if you can bring some of that fun, interesting and magical stuff into your life. Think about practical ways how you can do that.

You don't need to fix yourself. You grow. We all do. Forget about worthiness or feeling worthy. It doesn't exist. In the meantime you can work on your Emotional States by integrating your emotions. You don't feel confident because you need reality to be a certain way. You need all the answers to be more in control of your situation. This need is an emotion and can be felt and released. The truth is you don't need anything. You are already complete and dandy. Everything we need, be it answers, love, validation, control can never be given to us from the outside world. We can only give it to ourselves. Check out this foundational video if you haven't seen it yet. ❤️
