Revolutionary Think

@The Universe Please read this and tell me what you think. http://bakshandehariel.wixsite.com/website/single-post/2016/12/30/Creating-Something-that-Lasts-Taking-You-Through-My-Past

For all of you talking about video games just being a distraction to a certain extent I can agree. I really do want to start some kind of movement that changes the world. Especially the education system because I believe that Today's education system around the world doesn't really focus on improving people (like this website does) but, instead focuses on making them robots. I started a website discussing this and I really want to talk about these issues with all of you. @Phocus I am sick and tired of playing the side quests but, nobody is giving me a strategy guide to play the main game (except for maybe Leo). That's the problem I find in schools too no one is giving these kids a strategy guide for how to figure out what there passions are and make a living out of it. I myself created a petition on change.org that talks about bringing mentors to schools so they can help these students in the high schools. I also want to know from all of you how you found your passions and if you are making a living off of them and how you did it. I hoping that finally on this forum I can find some like minded and deep thinkers who want to do something about living their lives to the fullest and how to help others who want to do the same thing.

I think the lack of civility these days is a big problem. You can disagree with people without being a disagreeable person. I think people need to take more time to know where other people are coming from and see how a different perspective can change another person's views.

@Prabhaker I'm quite the extrovert with the right type of people around me. It all depends on who I am talking to and if they are like minded.

@Leo Gura would enjoy hearing your ideas on this.

@Ariel my name is Ariel too funny coincidence. I personally think like some others have pointed out you have to verify this information for yourself. I think if you don't take the theories and put them into practice you can't really find out if it works or not. Other than that all I can say is that every experience I have in life acts as an adviser in my head leading me the right way. Like when how you fail you learn what not to do.

@Alex K Thanks for the response. I hardly know anything about meditation and how it works so maybe I'll read some books and watch some videos on it. The interesting thing is though at a very young age my mind was already kind of self actualizing when it came to thinking about "adults". It didn't make sense to be living in misery even though older people in my life told me "that's just life" I kept thinking to myself that older people are missing something because there is a way to live life where you can be happy and not having so much stress and anxiety. I remember older people telling me that life only gets harder, more complicated and more boring. I remember telling myself that what they're telling me is BS because so many people have created amazing happy lives for themselves by strategizing and surrounding themselves by the right people. I was always wondering why our society is so ignorant wasting time with celebrity worship and complaining about everyday life so much. I also wondered why the education system never talked about how to be happy and how to do things that make you happy and make money from it. My Revolutionary Thinking blog is kind of like my self-actualization journal for my own life but, eventually I want to find a way to monetize it and get a lot more attention for it from like minded people. So please @users feel free to take a look http://bakshandehariel.wixsite.com/website the posts I enjoy the most even when I read it for myself are the fourth one where I talk about how to make a better education system and the first one where I talk about creating something that lasts. Anyway I hope to get more involved in this community and find like minded people who want to be happier and more successful in life.

Hi everyone my name is Ariel I'm a 28 year old University graduate from Los Angeles, CA who stumbled upon Actualized.org from a friend in Japan. So ever since I was younger I was always wondering why the education system in the States wastes your time on so much useless stuff that you hardly ever use but, doesn't teach you to be happy or live a life that you love and enjoy. That's why I decided to quit my job and become a YouTube content creator. My content just like Leo's is how to think differently than everyone else for life improvement but, I've started watching some of Leo's content because I'm starting to learn so many interesting things. So I was just thinking we talk about how your lives were before you got involved with the Actualized.org community and any advice you have for me on my journey.

Firstly let me say how excited I am that my post has got your attention (assuming that you are the real Leo and not just some administrator that uses his name). Secondly let me answer your questions. I'm willing to work pretty hard for it but, depends on the work no? My question is if the hard work will pay off? The public education system always tells you about your grades and when you are younger your studies are basically your work because before the age of 18 you can't legally work at most places. The problem with it was that after that it seemed like I couldn't really transfer the good grades I got in University into success in the real world. So in a sense I felt betrayed. Well what I did about 3 months ago (the sacrifice I made) is quit my job and work on my blog and YouTube channel full time. I already at a young age had a natural ability to push out side of a certain comfort zone that most people have (most) people have a fear of public speaking but, for me it's not a fear it's a talent and it's a passion. If it is something I am passionate about and want to talk about I enjoy going up on a stage in front of thousands if not millions of people and talking about a subject that I have an opinion on. In terms of cleverness I was always the odd one out when I was growing up so much so that I wasn't even ever a teenager most things that interested teenagers weren't things that interested me. I was never very materialistic but, I was always searching for experiences not material things. That's why I loved vacations and being on an airplane just to look out of the window seat. I grew up in a big house in Bel Air, CA but, I hated growing up in that big house because it was isolated from the rest of the community in a suburb where there were only houses as far as the eye can see and when you're that young and don't have a car you are dependent on the people around you (in this case my mom) for rides down to the city. Also after I quit my job I want to the chamber of commerce in my community and found a mentor, his name is Adam Torres and he's a finance guy (I bought his program for $55 a month) and in addition to that I bought this program called Jumpcut academy online and the thing cost a whopping $1000 and at first I was scared of buying it because as you said I have the emotional money hoarding problem because of the things in my past so before I bought the program I had a big battle in my mind whether to buy it or not and it was a really painful battle and I was also going back and forth with the support that owned the program asking about the money back guarantee over and over again until I finally decided to buy it. Now looking back on that whole ordeal I'm glad I bought it because I realized it's not a scam. So now I have that Jumpcut program helping me out and Adam Torres. Also through Adam Torres I managed to book myself on a podcast that talks about entrepreneurship. After watching the bulk of your videos Leo it's really been an interesting experience but, if I am to buy your program too (which I'm thinking about) but, I don't want to spread myself too thin with your program, Jumpcut, and Adam Torres. It would be interesting if I could send you a YouTube video I did or a blog post I wrote then get your opinion on it and if you see if it has potential and you can help me get my message out there I'd most likely be interested in buying your program. (I'm not going to link to my YouTube page or blog because I don't want to violate the terms of this forum but, if you give me permission I'm really excited about showing you my work).

Hi everyone I've only stumbled upon these self actualization videos in the past 2 weeks and they're very fascinating. Ever since I was younger I wanted to change the world but, now I've kind of mellowed out since then. My childhood sucked because of my parents divorce and the middle school I went to. A lot of arguments about money between my parents and a lot of stress and depression in school. Then fast forward to my after high school years where I just wanted a job and I was sick and tired of the education system but, I went to a community college anyway to advance myself. I was proactively looking for a job at community college and it was to no avail especially when the financial crisis happened in 2008. Then I finally graduated community college and got a minimum wage job. After that I went to University and in the breaks I had in between semesters I traveled and on those travels I was very very happy. Now though in my life I feel a sense of fulfillment that I got to travel to those places and do those things but, I can almost never forget my childhood and how bothersome it was for me. I right now in my life want to change the way the education system works because I don't think that it actually helps young people grow and succeed just like how it didn't help me. So I created a YouTube page and a blog dedicated to self-improvement and societal improvement but, it's not getting a lot of traction and a lot of people to look at it. Until another YouTuber showed me Loe's page and all this stuff about self-actualization and now I'm wondering if the best idea is to improve myself and my outlook on life before I make any blog posts or new videos. Where I want to be though is successful with money and people appreciating my work and ideas. It's kind of difficult to get there but, I am trying. Although watching some of this self-actualization stuff has me asking a lot of questions about my own life... So if you guys have any ideas on how we can help ourselves get to a better place in our lives and what you've all been doing I'd like to know.

What may I ask is the job you did and what you do now?

Can you come up with an example?

It's nice to find like minded people. I'm also wondering what Leo will think of my ideas. Is he on this forum and do people get to talk with him?

Thanks for the encouragement but, I honestly think that the education system in the US should be doing a much better job and limits your purpose because of how strict and non-creative it is. I think it still hasn't changed it's still operating on an industrial model and that's basically what I talk about. I don't know if it's OK to share it here but, I started a petition that mentors should be coming to high schools to help out children.
