Valuable things take time (leo's video) , so what things do you invest in?

[Never_give_up]

I for example, want to: 

1)develop sense of humour

2)be more masculine

3)be more social

4)be more independent

5)become an artist

6)learn Japanese

7)build a good looking body

We used to sing a song at summer camp:

"Inch by inch

Row by row

Gonna help this garden grow...

Till the soil deep and low...

and  plant in fertile soil..."

You can invest in all those things. They all compliment each other.

Simply take out a 30 day calendar, mark down when you work and when you have free time and start planning how you will build those skills. You should be going to the gym, socializing, and investing time into studying.

IF you don't know how to do something... ask high quality questions.... Take your goals and post them up on a piece of paper in your bathroom where you see it everyday. Ask the internet, AI, look up videos, etc. But, keep it simple.

You need:

1. List of goals

2. Calendar you refer to daily

3. Budget and awareness of income and expenses so you can plan your investments, ie gym fees, club bills, etc

4.The willingness to go out, go to the gym and try.

This requires honesty and introspection exercise. If this features were always there and just needed a bit of pracatise ok. But dont try to be somobody you dont are or it will backfire you. For example if you're naturally introverted, serious... forcing the opposite will guarantee you suffering, and when you stop forcing you'll come back to your natural character, that's homeostasis.

For me learning how to dominate in a world of stupidity is valuable. Trusting God for the most part is the central power source. I've had to learn from a young age that being right isn't enough, you need to be heavy with it, otherwise you can't get traction at all and there is always a line of 100 fools waiting to tell you that your wrong. It becomes less about being right and more about recognising how to handle an endless ocean of dumbasses.

How do you train emotional mastery?

Quite a complex question to ask. As general thinking through stuff for yourself, or contemplating and coming to your conclusions. That's where emotions find it's place and can settle. That's what facing fears also means, because you ain't letting emotional turmoil dictate your mood, instead you do a careful investigation and if you don't know something you are ok with that and bulshit won't get to you. So those points I made they all combust each other and act in sinergy. Also as a quick example by burning through karma and getting stuff out of your system and you'll naturally be less draged by emotional needs. For example if you feel excluded, then spending a lot of time with people might help you. And evidently it is relative to you, since spending a lot of time with people can very certainly make you a weak emotional slug. The best emotional mastery is done through your own efforts. So do it yourself. Think stuff for yourself

Invest in desensitizing and reprocessing all trauma. Invest in your relationship to truth. Investing your ability to contemplate. Invest in daily practice of being funny. Invest in approaching new people all the time so you meet a few hundred new people per month at least.

To create a really awesome life it looks like everyday being remarkably intentional and scheduled and focused. I like the idealized version of a monk but living in a modern world of survival.

Distraction is going to be your biggest enemy. See Leo's episode on distraction. 

 

What's going to really actually motivate you to really focus and say no to absolutely everything that is not your highest priority is to deeply connect with the importance of it. See Leo's video: motivational speech Oct 2021

 

Get insanely fucking clear on what your goals are and what they are not. What your life purpose is. What your values are and how that actually looks like in practice of alignment. I have been motivated to write up a post discussing how you really get Leo's life purpose course working for you. Oftentimes I have found people's experience of the life purpose course to be lackluster because they lack the ability to implement and the ability to revisit and recontemplate how does all these new insights apply. I still consider myself an absolute noob with this stuff, so even just writing that post will help further Clarity for myself.

My goals in my life:

⭐ Top 5 Goals in Life

1️⃣ Awakening to God

- Love, Truth, Intelligence

2️⃣ Bestselling Self-help Author

3️⃣ World Class Motivational Speaker

4️⃣ World-renowned Life-Coach and Therapist

5️⃣ Master of Socialization

- Building Connection - Charisma - Sales - etc. Sense of Humor included
