Imagine if we started contemplating the nature of reality at age 5? We can raise children this way if we so choose.

That's when the epistemic process starts. Kids are extremely curious. Most parents just get overwhelmed with that phase and don't give it the enough importance.

This is absolute gold.

Enjoying each day and feel grateful.

 

To throw my hat in the discussion. 

It's okay to feel pride, but the follow up to that is to recognize that its not self, letting the self feel pride is okay, well-being is okay. Then see the separation between awareness and self. 

This is actually really important for spiritual development. 

Filling the self with positive feelings, then recognizing that the awareness is not those feelings. But the awareness knows good feelings. Thats better than knowing shitty feelings right?

So it's okay.

Anyways

 

Yeaaaaa

I am proud I have the testicle to build a medical centre up to about $1mill acting as estimator, contracts administrator and project manager.

At the moment I cannot handle more than about a $1million budgeted build.

At one point I was homeless. So this is a lot for me

No.1 tip I have? Master the social domain. Social dynamics do it all for you. Good with people = get them to want to work with you.

 

Awesome! This is a big deal. Quite a journey.

• I'm proud that I haven't watch porn for more than a year.

Amazing! That's incredible man - all the things that get in the way, when those drop off it feels like having a weight lifted forsure.

As self help junkies, we tend to look for things to improve upon, but it is just as important to be proud of the things that you have accomplished. Please share some things that you are proud of about yourself.

Here is my list: 

I am proud of...

• The fact that my socializing skills has significantly improved. I am much more likely to talk to strangers at the gym or in a grocery store. I used to feel so quiet and reserved, now I say what's on my mind.
• The fact that I am competing and placing in these dance competitions, it was difficult to imagine getting to this point a couple of years ago but here I am. 
• My emotional mastery progress, I am much more in tuned with my emotions and allowing them to pass through me is much easier.
• I am proud of myself for attracting a good looking woman into my life.

When I look around its nice to see when people are making progress. There's a lot of beauty in this world. So many people are doing great things. It's good to recognize it from time to time when the negative seems to catch the attention far more.

Cultivating the mind is a great source of joy. I have to recognise lately I'm achieving levels of intelligence I would have never dreamt of. This morning I was bombarded by insights, everywhere I saw an insight like a thunderbolt resonated in my mind. I'm still so young and look to the future full of joy, can't wait for the amazing live in gonna live. I would love to talk with my 50 year old self, I'm proud of my past-self, my present-self and my future-self. Let love inundate my life; may I be worthy to drown in thy infinite love.

B-e-a-u-ti-ful - yea life is starting to feel so beautiful like this and the same feeling of like - ho damn, this moments so beautiful... and there's more? deeper and deeper.

gratitude, and mystery!
