  1. Two book you really should read is: the talent code and talent is overrated. These two books are gold for people that want to learn a specific skill. Some pointers from the book talent is overrated: It basically says that the best guitar players and other musicians do a lot of solo practice but at the same time solo practice is the least fun. It requires heavy mental strain and stumbling through the motions. While playing a song they know and are familiar with is a fun activity it does not improve their playing ability. As for the motivation problems with singing. Work on your vision for that, it could be that you just don't see yourself as a singer. But singing and playing guitar at the same time is a very good niche. You can do them both.
  2. There exists a single tennis court and a single tennis teacher called Larisa in Russia. This teacher produced more top twenty raking tennis woman than the whole united states. Practice is key.
  3. If you want a stable option go with Computer Science. If you want a little bit more risky option go with digital marketing.
  4. I think you should look at your mind state to observe probable future steps. For example when you can't concentrate ever on anything you're doing because you are constantly thinking about the lack of friends you have. Go get some friends! I don't mean if it like comes up once, I mean if your mind is obsessing about it to the point that you can't concentrate fill that gap or you will waste your time on trying to reach enlightenment while your mind is somewhere else. You will never be able to reach it this way. As for education, do the live purpose course or read some books like: Deep Work, The Talent Code, So Good They Can't Ignore You. Self-education is much more powerful if used correctly. As for your purpose, idk if you will find your purpose that way. A purpose is created or stumbled upon by sheer luck. It's not like when you are working on enlightenment you can't work on something else. The life purpose course gives you good pointers on creating a purpose instead of waiting to bump into one.
  5. Look into developing financial freedom. Download some podcasts. There are people who save 80% of their income and do things called house hacks (Link) that let's you progressively buy a bigger house and sell it again. You do have to study the real estate business but it is viable. You kinda like work a job, save up as much as you can and start your own real estate portfolio. A big house and a lot of money requires A LOT of energy and attention. You can't just do it on a whim, your whole life needs to revolve around that shit for a long amount of time. Think about if you are really able to give up other goals and dreams. It's really about what you are willing to give up for it. I mean you can save 80% of your income, invest it, live like a hobo for a while. But are you really willing to do that. Or you could give up your dream job and go work as a doctor. But are you really willing to do that?
  6. http://yttalk.com/forums/youtube-video-marketing-strategy-seo.88/ Here is a good resource. These two posts on that forum helped me the most. &
  7. Have you thought about marketing and eyeballs?
  8. I don't think if you like programming it is automatically authentic. You could probably now switch to for example wood crafting and once you develop some proficiency in it you could also grow to like it. We like things that give us feedback and we like overcoming challenges. Once you would be proficient in wood crafting you would also get in a state of flow while doing it this would also give you joy. I am a programmer too, I like it very much but that doesn't mean its my authentic self liking it. It's more that I'm good at what I do and therefor can efficiently solve problems that make me feel better about myself. As for sex, games, TV shows etc. I would call that distraction. I mean you can love a TV show but once you become conscious of what you're actually doing watching a TV show. (Distracting yourself from looking inward) It will quickly grow into a love hate relationship. So you should flow with it but at the same time look inside, what are you actually doing here looking at this serie, gaming, etc. Try to stay conscious at all times. This is the most difficult thing to do tough. When I look at the word authentic I connect it more with the deeper connection you have with something or some people. A authentic relationship is one where you don't act through a mask of trying to manipulate people. You are radically honest with them. If you are angry you show anger etc. It is about instead of following the ego and trying to show a 'good' side of yourself, showing who you fully are. This is tricky I mean our whole society is based upon showing our 'good' side. This can also be applied to your actions, a authentic relationship towards your actions is also based upon looking through your egoic desires. Here it gets tricky tough. You could say you love programming because you believe it will help the world, but how do you know this did not come from a ego constructed story. I'm still struggling with this myself.

  10. Lol your first post and you post this. Hahahahaha welcome to the community bro! hope you have a nice time here. as for electrical stoves, every stove is different, but with mine you just turn the knob and it will heat up , wait 15 min and its ready to use.
  11. Same, even brown bread. It's just so easy because it fills you up quick and easy to carry around I guess.
  12. @Barbarian Number 8 I guess I like the distinction of drugs. Like psychedelics, mind numbing like heroine or cocaine and pharma. Otherwise it's like saying food is bad. But there is a difference between salad and frozen pizza.
  13. The only thing I could say is, I was into RSD but not anymore. When you take a leave and look at the content with fresh eyes a half a year later you will see that indeed they have bloated ego's. They do however know what they are doing in the dating environment. I guess their world view exist of only girls so when you then conquer that you feel like you have conquered the world.
  14. Cool! I like the name but I guess it sounds a bit corny. its hard getting a good name. Sultan I like but smile idk. It feels like putting a serious word with a very non serious word if you know what I mean. A good tip I have is to ask yourself: Would I like this name in 10 years? this really helped me. Looking forward to seeing some content brother! as for advice I would say, just start and do. Your improvement will come along the way.
  15. He has a whole section in his course. A lot of exercises for discovering your personal values.
  16. @Barbarian Number 8 I fear how you call it drug use. seems like you are putting heroine and lsd in the same categories. A friend of mine became much more social and had less anxiety after doing psychedelics.
  17. I personally don't have experience with chakra's but. Yoga is feeling into/awakening your body.
  18. @Ether & @Charlotte I think she was going to say. Start doing yoga and open your chakra's.
  19. @sarapr I think facebook as a platform its so big and complex that the senators don't really know whats going on behind the screens.
  20. So Good They Can't Ignore You says: Passion mindset: What can my job give me? If I follow this job it can give me fulfillment, I can get this and that and so on. Craftsman mindset: What can I give to the world? How can I get better so I can produce more value for other people. I think that is why you should focus on the craftsman mindset. When you focus on the passion mindset it's like looking for happiness. You're chasing it but it always looks like this is not enough there must be something more. As for liking a lot of things. It's not really about what you like, it's about what you can offer. I mean I like internet marketing, personal development, reading, programming, climbing, growing crops, filming, graphic design, going out in nature and exploring. But when you're avarage at a whole lot of things you can't offer heaps of value. So either you find something which incorporate all the interest you have or you choose a thing and deliberately get better at a skill with the end goal of delivering as much value as you can.
  21. Thanks for that exercise of pavlina it got me a step further towards my LP.
  22. @Raymondo Brhu read 2 pages back everybody is saying its like being on drugs but different. How is that no results? I did, you have to push through the fear of not being able to move and the fear of these weird effects. If you continue through these things weird shit will start to happen. I cry the second time started rolling around and shit.
  23. Yes, I use may laptop, main computer and mobile. And I'm not banned. (yet lol)
