So I talked to few people about my self actualization journey and everybody looks at me crazy like “why you make your life complicated just be yourself and stop listening to other people’s opinions and habits” like why does everybody think they are so special? Like I realized that everybody is the same in a way, the only think different is that we have different hobbies and tastes but we all have a lot things in common, so why most people think they’re a unique wave in the ocean, I don’t believe I’m a wave, I’m the whole ocean..does this makes sense?

They're just following the socially conditioned script that has been given to them. Don't fight it, you won't win. Just keep doing what you know is right and try and bring as many people up with you as you can.

@Tony Tellez Watch Leo's video on the Hero's journey. He covers these points you are talking about there as well.

Yes, precisely. That's called self-actualization.

Simplicity is often times the hardest, most advanced thing to pull off, requiring a journey to get there.

Thanks you for all the replies! I’m actually going watch that video tonight

@Leo Gura quick question, I’m planning to work 2 jobs this year?  (I want to have like enough money to live for a year just in case of an emergency) and after a year take my dj skills more seriously and work way less, do you think money it’s worth all the stress?

@Tony Tellez It is very inspiring and gives peace of mind since every time you come across an obstacle, you remind yourself of the Hero’s journey and how it works, that gives some relief.

it's one of the insights I got on the last silent retreat. isn't it the essence of zen buddhism? it's so simple that most will neglect its importance.

@phoenix666 Everything is so infinitely complex, it becomes simple.

But not really.

everything going full circle - again and again. I seem to find this theme everywhere I look
