    That means you should already have your LP statement.

    What's wrong with already starting to take action in the desired direction, while you work on finishing the course in your own pace? Do you need to have the course finished first?

    The problem is I'm still not sure what type of field I should be going into. I'm still really hazy on that. 

    Edit: Why not watch the videos to see what work is ahead? 

    I think that is what I'm going to do.

    I've been working on the Life Purpose Course. I knew there was 25 hours of video but I didn't realize the course as a whole would take this long. I'm finishing college this semester and I don't like my major. I'm not sure what field I want to go into and I was doing the Life Purpose Course so it could help me with that. The problem is it's taking me so long to complete it. I need to finish this thing soon, and I'm not sure how much longer it will take me. 

    I am currently on part 76 the busting limiting beliefs exercise. I had 101 pages of work before part 76 and I currently have 106 pages of work for part 76. I still have more work to do for part 76.

    For the people who have completed the course, how many more hours of work do you think I have left to do before I finish the course?

    Ehhhh I groan so much when I read stuff like this on topics like this.

    Life is meaningless and nothing good happens to me. I have no friends and I don't have a girlfriend. I think I have a ego backclash.

    Are you sure there is nothing?

    I have no friends and I don't have a girlfriend.

    You don't need friends or a girlfriend in order to be happy. In fact if you want them so they can make you happy then you are going to be a lot worse off if they end on a bad note. Boy have I heard enough songs about that listening to popular modern music. I would guess 70% of modern pop music is complaining about a romantic relationship that has ended, is currently going on, or won't start.

    Hey I'm sorry I didn't realize you had responded I'm new here and forget to click the little notify me box.

    (I didn't see this earlier) You're willing to help for free. I wouldn't care if you took 3 years. I'm very bad at responding on time.

    @TeamBills Hey I'm sorry I didn't realize you had responded I'm new here and forget to click the little notify me box.

    I'm glad you found the book. It's definitely got a christian flavor to the writing but like @Zigzag Idiot said it's not religious. There were definitely times I thought I'd barf if I had to read the word salvation one more time or whatever was getting to me in the moment, but I did do K-8 in Catholic school so I had a lot to clear out. Like i said though, it was worth every moment I dedicated to it.

    Heads up... almost everyone gets to about lesson 8 or 10 and thinks what the f***? And most put the book aside... do yourself a favor and push through.

    I am actually doing the daily lessons again and am about halfway through the year. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or get aggravated or want to quit but deep down inside you just need friendly support to keep going.

    Funny thing... the first two people I ever truly forgave were from Lancaster NY, just down the road from you. That's where I grew up, so I had a lot of history there.

    Thank you for the advice and thank you for the support you're offering. That is very cool about Lancaster. The even crazier thing is I have posted my hometown in my profile on 2 forums and on each forum someone mentioned about living super close to me.

    The other thing you might look into is Byron Katie. Look her up on Youtube, her video's cut through so much crap and you can see how easy forgiveness is without the mind's story.

    You can literally watch someone transform their story in 10 minutes with 4 questions. She teaches you how to question the mind's narrative around the event that occurred. Brilliant stuff! I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. And she has books too, but go straight for the videos, the impact is there.

    I have her book on Audible. I haven't started it yet. I never thought about looking up videos with her. That is a great idea.

    I've been blessed by the books by ''Matt Kahn'', which are ''Whatever arises, love that'' and ''everything is here to help you'', two magnificent books, I recommend them both. I cannot say that they speak about forgiveness specifically, but somehow, forgiveness could be seen as anything that helps you loosen on anything that you hold on and that no longer needs to be held, anything that makes you flow with ease and put down your resentment, in that case, they will bring more forgiveness into your life.  :) 

    Ok thank you. I'll check them out in due time. I like the titles of the books.

    Is this the correct book? The website linked only has a few pages. There are multiple books with the same name.

    I'm with @Zigzag Idiot a Course in Miracles is an incredible book that is very focused on forgiveness. It definitely brings forgiveness into a new light.

    I too was often challeneged by the language of it, but followed through with my commitment to finish the years worth of lessons and got through the text as well and it was worth every minute.

    This is not a book recommendation but it might help you. Just some things I have experienced first hand.

    When we think we've forgiven someone it's kind of plays out like this:

    The ego might back down in a situation and say, okay sure, let's forgive this person. It's like an act of generosity, and the ego uses it for a feeling of exhaltation, or as a look at how cool I am to have forgiven such a horrible thing, story.  But it's not really true forgiveness. The ego is still holding the situation in  mind and using it to keep up a defense. Using the situation to control the whole rest of the life with fear, uncertainty, and doubts, so that you'll trust no one.

    It seems that in every case of true forgiveness I have had I honestly saw my part in the drama. When that occurs it's like you're pulling the curtain back on the ego and seeing the game it's been running on you. What I have seen each time I've truly come to a place of fogiveness is that I was caught up in the ego's game. How I had been duped into believing everything it was telling me and why I was justified in my defenses (the defenses it had designed).

    The thing is, you could talk to a million people and they'll justfy your defenses, but that doesn't help you does it? All it does is support the ego story.

    When you truly forgive someone you know it because you experience an absolute sense of freedom. You are free from the bondage of hanging on to an old story that has nothing to do with your present life. You are free from dragging around a thousand pound weight each day. You are free in one more way, because you unraveled one more way the ego was playing you like a puppet.

    I wish you the best in uncovering what is truly happening in your desire to forgive.

    Thank you for such detailed responses. Sorry it took me so long to reply, I'm juggling a lot of different things in my life right now. I should probably slow down and focus better. Is The Course On Miracles very religious? I'm not anti-religion but organized religion kind of annoys me. With the link I was given it doesn't go past lesson 1.

    :) Thanks for the response! I didn't think I was going to get one. I will check that stuff out. I'll probably be annoying the forum with a lot of threads about book recommendations. The thing is I don't trust Googling something like this because if I was selling a book I would learn to beat that system the same with Amazon ratings by giving them out to tons of friends and making them rate *****, etc.

    Don't focus on numbers.

    As long as you focus on numbers you still see this as a challenge rather than a lifestyle.

    Which means you will always relapse.

    A challenge is always temporary, a lifestyle isn't.

    Do you have an estimation?

    "Am I am too arrogant, prideful and cold-hearted ?

    Be 200% honest plz "

    From what I've read, absolutely not. I think you are being too hard on yourself / thinking too much about this.

     

    "How did you get a whiff of that on your own?

    I didn't, a good friend of mine told me."

    Doesn't sound like a "good" friend to me.
