Exactly. You know that you are deeply strong and powerful, so powerful that this is difficult to handle. We've told you to be kind and submit, yet this doesn't resonate with the deep power that you have inside you. You've hidden your power so much because you were afraid of showing it. You know that this power is strong, so strong that it scares the shit out of people, so strong that it can shake the world.

My power.

What are you afraid of?

Because I'm afraid.

You know why. Why this defensiveness?

Why are you asking why?

@Raphael I have some questions for you, please take some time to contemplate them: Why do you always stop so quickly? Why do you change your focus so quickly? Why do you feel so easily discouraged in the face of challenges? Why does pessimism comes so quickly when you face challenges? What don't you push through things more? Why do you feel some tears coming up when you sometimes focus intensely to overcome the challenges? Take this seriously, it's important. Let me know your answers when you're ready. Thank you.

Well... I don't know you strategy, nor if your working on something aside. If it's the case, I hope that this is helping you towards your goal. Another perspective on that is also that a job can be used as a ladder: you get a job -> you gain some experience -> you use this experience to escape wage slavery.

Be so good that they can't ignore you.

Had so many thoughts one day that my brain exploded. Felt great.

Mainstream Porn is Like Eating at McDonald. It's just so fake, so inauthentic, it gives a very distorted view of sex. What the main pornographic companies are producing is garbage for the mind, it creates enormous self-esteem issues within men and women. I feel like I might vomit one day if I continue watching this. Enter "intimate sex" on PornHub and you'll find healthier videos. Normal people with normal bodies having healthy sexual intercourse. The channel "Kate Marley" healthily shows what intimacy should be in a couple.

Ideas of Practical Journals Forgiving Myself for the Pain that I Caused: will maybe create this one, not sure Financial Freedom: will create this one, this year Becoming A Social Being: not sure if I'll create this one Superhuman Food: not sure if I'll create this one Divine Masculinity: not sure if I'll create this one Integrating Red: not sure if I'll create this one. I thought about learning a combat sport in order to integrate Red Finding My Purpose: will probably not create this one It doesn't mean that I don't work on myself if I don't create one of these journals, but just that I'm not sharing some stuff publicly. In all cases, whether I create these practical journals or not, I have an entire life of growth ahead of me.

@RendHeaven It'll come. This realization opened a goldmine of insights in me. I just need some time to think through it more and organize the ideas. @Preety_India Nah, cause I'm an Aries.

20/06/2021 (Week 21) If any of what I wrote this week is true, it might be helpful if I... let my younger selves express themselves let go of repressed emotions from my childhood let go of repressed traumas from my childhood let myself being completely vulnerable nurture my younger selves provide containment to my younger selves build back the relationship with my younger selves support my younger selves give my hands to my younger selves

Emotions are logical. I'll even go as far as saying that emotions = logic.

You are an awesome reader.

@Raptorsin7 I'm only doing this sentence completion exercise for the moment. The program has several weeks dedicated to the inner child. Apparently, in another book How to Raise Your Self-Esteem, Nathaniel Branden talks more about integrating younger selves, but I didn't read the book so far.
