What are the Fundamentals?

[Cireeric]

So I was brainstorming about what are the fundamentals of Self-Actualization or the Heroes Journey. Since one of the ideas Leo often comes back to is this analogy, that if you want to build a Skyscraper you need a solid foundation. Some of the things that came to my mind and where I was building my foundation over the last years is:

• Self-Esteem: The 6 Pillars of Self Esteem by Nathanael Branden has good exercises to understand and increase your self-esteem
• Self-Love
• Learn to embody and internalize the right principles: Leo mentioned many in his videos
• Find out your own values: There are many exercises you can do. Leos Life-Purpose-Course, or Daniel Schmachtenbergers Dharma Inquiry is good for that
• Health, Fitness
• Emotional Mastery
• Basic Meditation Practice
• Guiding Frameworks

What would you add to the list? Do you agree with the list? What would you regard as foundation/fundamentals?

There is no list. There is one word: Mastery

I think that from that video, Principle 54: Master your basic survival and livelihood is a good one. I am trying to work on ths principle from time to time.

@Cireeric I think 'developing work ethic/ discipline' is another key one

SD is a good model to figure out what you lack in. If you just try to integrate and master each stage you'll probably go through all the fundamentals

you have to finish what you came for, today not tomorrow
