I can't thank you enough. This is like a family for me now. I feel so good. You guys rock. It feels so good to know I can share whatever I want. Sometimes you're annoying. sometimes sweet. There have been good times and bad times. But through all times, we have been together like one big family. I've learned so much already and I've still got so much to learn. But you guys are freaking awesome. Even when we argue, it's good... all colors of the rainbow. I wish you all the very best on your journeys. May you succeed in all your endeavours. And lots and lots of love. Lots of love from my heart to you. I can't thank you enough. Lots of love.

This is great advice.

@Snick Snickbar you got brains!

You're gifted. You just don't see it.

Meditation is the art of being aware.

Will you listen to me ??

@Prabhaker And I'm your "Babe"

.. Got a long love letter from Prabby.

@Prabhaker I love u

Let him kill me. To die for love is better than living without it.

Nah nah nah... I'll die without you.

Thank you so much for your consideration. There had been a lot of issues going on in my life with relationships and family. I'm recovering well now. I've decided to just focus on myself and take all that other stuff as either distractions/challenges. This is helping me.

I am just too depressed..I have reached such a low that I almost lost my voice. I don't think I will ever be the same again. I lost my shit.....and no backup.

@The White Belt hmmmm. Tough question. I've some reservations here. This is where I was talking about how to be a strategic motherfucker. I never use the all or none principle. I want to be a strategic motherfucker. So I want to be in the grey part of everything. Neither black nor white. To me maximum productivity goes with optimization. So saving energy is just as important as spending energy. So you can't give yourself to everything all at once. You need to prioritize, have a strategy in place, manage a bit, learn management skills, skip stuff that's unimportant. This is like playing a chess game. For me the term hard worker doesn't make much sense. I would replace it with smart worker. If you're really not interested in your coffee job, there's no point in working hard because there is no real payoff doing something that is not worth the hard work you put in. But I wouldn't suggest you should deliberately suck at it because you can't justify not following work ethic at your job. So You need to find a balance. Check the payoff. You may be putting in substantial effort in your self-actualization but that appears a lot in your eyes and not in someone else's. I mean for another person it may appear very little. So It's a matter of perspectives. Coming to the final part of the question, finding your life purpose will help you know what you're really passionate about. Becoming a better version of yourself is actually a part of self improvement, self development and not necessarily life purpose. First work on yourself. You're the biggest baddest hardest project. Once you cross that level, other things fall into place.

Ha. This is the link

Do self-inquiry. Self observation. Increase your awareness level with meditation. Like Leo said, you're just 1mm into the surface. You aren't there yet. You have to get deeper before you can think of enlightenment. There's so much to explore through meditation and other techniques. This forum will be useful to you. You'll find a lot of techniques here. Read my thread about high consciousness. I'll come back with the link in a moment.

Invest in self-awareness and knowledge. What's the hurry for enlightenment! Does it matter right now? I don't think.

We generally remember the bad experiences but forget the good ones.

This is a forum where everyone checks each other out once in a while.

The idealistic dreamer creative imaginative lazy but passionate Pisces me.

I'm your girlfriend and I've checked you out.

Is the mind same as the body. Are they different. How are they different ?

@Prabhaker What is a subtle body ?
