  1. I want to sell all my possessions, buy a sail boat and sail around the world with my love. And wherever we go, we will help at least one person in that place. Whether it's spiritually, financially, emotionally whatever they need. Just impact their lives in some way. So we can live out or dream by sailing and seeing the world, and then also helping others along the way. It brings me nothing but peace when I think of this. And I know this will happen.
  2. I do have those thoughts. All the time. Sometimes I just want to say fuck it and give up, but I believe we're all here on this earth to learn something. To reach enlightenment and that's why it matters. To get back to my true self. To learn to look past all this bull shit happening and find inner peace. Now as for my perspective, I feel like my heart is more open to others. I realized how judge mental I was and I'm trying to release that. I just want to live a completely open life with no judgement and find enlightenment and be a light to others.
  3. About 3 weeks ago one of my best friends life was taken from him. Death is a weird thing. It changes you. I definitely look at life differently now. I don't think it's wrong to want to use death as a motivator. I think you see how easily life can be taken from you so while we're here on this earth we should do everything we can do find that peace and true happiness. Because that's the only way to bring change to this world. And if death motivates you to get off your ass and really start living, then I don't think there is anything wrong with that. I know before my friend passed I was holding quite a lot of bitterness in my heart towards religion and God. And after his passing, I realized I'm never going to reach enlightenment unless I release that bitterness. Now, I still don't agree with religion and I have a different view of God( a better view I think) but I feel so much better that I released all the built up tension and I feel like I'm finally able to move forward with my personal growth. I feel like with any situation, negative or positive,. We should use to push us to continue our growth. Jess
  4. Great feedback. I will definitely research how others have cured there adhd. I know I can over come it and I will put to use all the great advice I was given. Thank you!
  5. Thanks for the feedback! Totally understand! It really is mobile-friendly so thank you for that! ?
  6. You're not alone in feeling this way! I feel as if I'm a passionate person but find it very difficult to find one thing I'm completely passionate about. I would love to figure that out! I'm just not sure where to begin! But the advice these nice gentlemen the have left are definitely helpful! Thank you for this post! Glad I'm not the only one!
  7. Anyone struggle with add or adhd? Anyone have trouble meditating with these? I know I do! But seriously I've tried meditating HUNDREDS of times and I get 5-10 minutes in and my mind goes CRAZY. Or I start fidgeting or moving or looking off. The thing is, is I don't want to take medication. Very much against western medicine. I've taken medication for my adhd before and I hated it. I felt so depressed and not like my fun self. Sure my mind goes 100 miles an hour all the time but I don't want to suppress it with medicine. And I know meditation will help emensely but how the hell do I get passed that 5-10 minute stage where I start getting all Ansy. I want to calm my mind and really dive deep into meditation. Jess
  8. Luna! Thanks so much for the advice!! I'll definitely have to try that! First I need to start going to bed at an earlier time!! Some might call me a diva. Lol I like sleep but I'm a night owl so I like to sleep in ? I'll work on it tho! I always feel better when I start my day off with some form of exercise and I struggle with add so meditation before I start my day would definitely help I bet! I'll try! Thanks again! And good luck on your 30 days!! I know you can do it! ☺️
  9. Wow! Thank you all so much for this feedback! This is why this forum is such a magical tool to personal growth! It feels so amazing to be able to truly be honest and release the things I'm struggling with for all you to see! And no judgement! Just true honest opinions on how to overcome these things I'm dealing with. Truly, thank you all. I will definitely try to let the anger come and deal with it head on! I promise to get back to you on how that's working out in weeks to come so you all can see the progress I've made! Again, thank you! Beyond humbled to be apart of this amazing forum!!! Jess
  10. Hey Leo!! I know this isn't a video request per say but I was wondering if you ever thought of making the forum in an app form?? Very easy for mobile use! I know I use the forum on my phone all through out the day! It would be helpful! Just a thought!!
  11. It's definitely up to you. If it's something that's hindering you from being the person you want to be then I would say yes quit. I became very addicted to social media. I was constantly on. I became obsessed. I tried to tell myself I was using it for useful purposes but realized I was only using it to see what others were doing with their lives or seeing how many likes I could get. My partner told me he felt like I was always absent when I was on social media around him. It really hurt him. I had no idea. So I deleted it. And it felt so good! I honestly can say I don't miss it! And I'm thankful I did delete it because for me, it was only holding me back. But then again, that is my story. Not yours. You will know if it's something you need to rid yourself of! Jess
  12. Really wonderful to see you have such high goals for you. Truly an inspiration. I'm really wanting to incorperate meditation and yoga in my daily life. Only problem, I really HATE mornings! I'd love to be a morning person! I set my alarm early all the time in hopes of actually getting up and starting my day off right. But I just find myself hitting snooze again and again and again. Any advice on starting my day off earlier so I can incorporate mediation and yoga into my daily routine? Jess
  13. Wow. This is truly such and amazing thing to be apart of! Leo, thank you so much for creating actualized, the videos on youtube(which helped get me started on my path to personal development) and this forum. I'm thankful for how real you are and your no bull shit mentality. I've been finding myself easily getting bored therefore on social media( I know, so lame) but now, I feel the need to get on this wonderful forum and can read about other likeminded people's problems, solutions, and personal growths! How awesome is this! It's exactly what I needed to get my mind out of the gutter(social media) and onto something that will help me get to enlightenment! I'm forever grateful for this forum and I think I'll just have to delete all my social media accounts and spend all my phone time on this forum! Excited to read all of the amazing posts on here and grow and learn! Wow! What a time to be alive!! Jess
  14. Lately I've realized how much anger takes hold in my life. I get angry over the littlest things. I know it's the ego. I even think to myself when I'm so enraged with anger that my ego is winning, and this is what it wants. It wants me to be led by anger. I've tried it all. Meditation, breathing methods, praying, everything. It's very frustrating for me. I want to feel peace. Even when things truly upset you, I want to be able to feel peace and be in control of my emotions but it's very difficult for me. I just feel like my emotions overcome me so easily. How in the world do I let that go? How do I win over my ego. Does anyone else get like this? So hard to personally develope when my ego gets in the way so much. Advice? Thoughts? Ready to overcome my emotions and move forward to enlightenment. Jess
  15. I have been smoking weed almost everyday for about two years now as well. I'm 25. I also smoked when I was a senior in high school then a a couple years after. Took a break for a couple years then started again. Well, I also recently decided to slow down on smoking weed these past few weeks. I started a new job and I have a billion things I have to do throughout my work day and my mind just wasn't sharp enough when I was smoking. I was very forgetful and quite honestly lazy as hell. That's always been an issue for me. I can be a very lazy person and I absolutely hate it. Since taking a break from weed I've seen a significant difference in my overall demeanor. I still battle with laziness but my mind is much more sharp. I even smoked one time in the past few weeks and it just wasn't the same as before. I didn't enjoy it as much. I mean don't get me wrong, I fucking love weed and always will. Not just smoking it but the plant in general can offer so much to this world. I know I'll smoke on a occasion every once in a while but overall I'm so glad I made the decision to not make it a priority in my life. I feel like it was hindering me from growing as a person and that's what this forum is all about. Personal development. Being of sound mind is very important. Weed isn't a bad thing but when it starts to affect your life in a negative way it's time to let it go. It'll do nothing for you. That's what happened to me and I'm so glad I was able to let it go and now I feel so much more clear and less cloudy through out my day. I actually get shit done. You got this!!! Jess
