@Thought Art I was always born this way, as rebellious as it gets. Maybe i was a slave in my past life but i never ever did anything in my life that felt like slavery, my entire nervous system would rebel, I was prepared to even be homeless in 2020 when they were trying to force vax everyone. I always did and will do what i love, and I am in my mid thirties and life still goes on? I've lived a great live, both in darkness and light. There is ALWAYS a way, you are infinite intelligence, you can figure it out.

That's true, but, your ego can waste your life on a dream too. What people tend to care about on death beds is their relationships. look at succesful people falling into drugs and suicide. But, being passionate about life can also radiate into relationships if done right, it's about balance. What this means is the accomplishments don't actually matter, but passion does.

I think you are plenty smart. Just gotta apply it. This isn't rocket science. But I get it. I know how hard it is in the beginning when you got nothing but a dream. In the beginning an optimistic attitude is one of the few things needed most. You gotta believe in yourself because who else will?
-
I’m like 2% as smart as you. So, retards like me just gotta try I guess.

@Leo Gura I feel like you say things that are valuable require hard work. But, then also dissuade me from doing that. I worked hard as fuck for like 2 years before I played festivals. I would come home from a shit job, write a song or two and then play an open mic. I played almost every single night LIVE. Then, I started playing festivals, but then I fell off course with COVID etc. I work hard. I am not that smart. But, I try. I want to be the best artist I can be. I want to make something amazing. Like, I have to work hard ANYWAY. MacDonald’s is a fucking rented mule. It’s so stupid. anyway, I really gotta go. I respect you guys. This is my life guys. It’s my consciousness. It’s my dreams and my heart. My highest vision for myself is to be a musician. That’s the honest full answer. That was my life purpose course. It’s what I think about everyday. It’s my dream. If I can’t make my dream seriously kill me and use your will God to make it so or just snuff out this mind. Make me a toad.

@Leo Gura Too closed? I guess I’ll have to work that hard then. Because I want success in music. I have one fucking life guys. One. Am I gonna be in a death bed… just like…. Well, I guess I never made my dream come true. Well, what was this stupid fucking life for? Oh, I got to watch some other asshole make his dream come true. Oh no now I’m absolute infinity and I’m dead. Well, next shithole dream I guess. Why is God in the business of experiencing shithole dreams? Makes 0 sense. Your fucking GOD!! You should be awesome!!!! why is my mind too closed?
-
@Thought Art To create that kind of success in life you have to work harder than a rented mule. Also, your mind is too closed.

Arcadefire made music their job. I want to make music my job. They didn’t do something else so they could do something else. ”if you want something don’t ask for nothing. If you want nothing don’t ask for something!!!!” ”Ahhhhhhhhhh!”

I was going through something similar about a year ago or so where I felt like I was so sure that I wanted to go into something that utilized my international relations degree whether that be working in a NGO or something adjacent to foreign policy. Given what's going on in the U.S. right now, that's not the smartest move when it comes to paying the bills or have any kind of stability in your life. That was hard thing to come to terms with. Especially since I'm in a souless corporate job that felt like wage slavery. I'm fortunate enough to be in a decent work environment making good money in a low cost of living area. Existential dread aside, I have it good materially. But I can't say that the material security overrided feelings of *what the fuck am I doing with my life* or *I feel like I'm wasting my life spiritually withering away* etc. The way that I have learned to cope with this is to see my corporate job as a means to an end. Sure, I might have to be here longer than I want to, but this is going to help me set myself up for success later on. I'm saving my money. I'm getting work experience. I'm building my work ethic. I'm enhancing my skills in navigating my work life socially speaking. While I don't feel a sense of meaning in my job, I do find joy and fulfillment in some aspects of the work I'm doing and I try to focus on that. And I try to derive the sense of meaning else where such as friends, family, other hobbies, and of course as I continue learning about different social, political, and cultural topics. I don't see making money and getting basic human needs met as directly opposed to putting in effort towards fulfillment rather they often go hand in hand. There is also a high chance that I'm probably going to stay in a corporate role for the rest of my life. And yes, that was also hard to deal with, the possibility that my dreams will never be actualized. I then dissected what my dreams meant and how I can incorporate that to the constraints of my current life. Sure, I might not have a travelling job, but I do have a good amount of PTO I can use towards travel. Sure I might not be moved to work abroad due to the nature of my work but I can request a transfer from my current job. Those are just examples. I also consider myself to be a relatively intrinsically motivated person which has it's pros and cons. The pros are that I'm good at pursuing fulfilling endeavors one way or another even if I'm not in the position to fully immerse myself in it. It allows me to maintain a sense of authenticity and I think that in turn helps me pursue goals in a more healthy and sustainable way. The cons is that external rewards don't keep me going to where my eyes glaze over when my boss talks about raises and promotions because honestly, given my financail position, an extra $10k isn't going to radically change my lifestyle or sense of fulfillment / happiness in my life. Which then puts in me in a weird place because so much of the world, especially corporate, is so externally focused and it all just feels really hollow to me because it simply doesn't resonate. Yes, like a lot of my coworkers, I don't get fulfillment from my job. But while they can be externally motivated and see how this job can help them idk get more orders from Amazon and have consummerism be a motivator to keep going to work, I'm here getting an existential crisis because my sense of motivation doesn't work that way. Insterad, I try to focus on the peace of mind my job brings so that I can focus on other areas of my life instead of being like *well, at least I can buy a Labubu without breaking the bank.* I guess I have a few questions that you do not have to answer rather I would encourage you to contemplate for youself. Do you actually love making music or do like the lifestyle and fantasy that comes with it? Why is that and where is that coming from? And is your why and where coming from a healthy or survival oriented place?

I think that’s a good idea. There are some on Fiverr I was looking at and I can find and reach out to anyone now around the world.
-
@Leo Gura I want to make music. If it’s not music I would rather die. Nothing else has the juice. What works for one, doesn’t work for me.
-
I really like it. You know, you could look for cool girls to collaborate with too....
-
Knowing Musk, it will be a car with transparent wheels.
-
But the point is you can build success. Also it doesn't just have to be music. There are many more possibilities in life than your mind is presently open to. I had no success until I built it through lots of clever work.
-
@Human Mint I meant escaping it. I don’t think I’m as smart or emotionally programmed like other people. I’m kind of simple and stupid. I don’t know if I could do what Leo did. Obviously. So, I gotta do it my own way. The reality is though there is the world’s best music education online. It’s not free though.
-
I did it too, night shift, wrecked my health a bit but I was obsessed with the idea. Wage slavery is just an obsession. Educating yourself is almost free, could be free.

@Elliott I play guitar and I sing. I recorded this last year or so to break out of my blockage. It’s simple but good…. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=J5b0_8tdeHc&si=ra0bcseWrlqWzXRd I will improve. I will write the best songs in the world. Not that happy with my vocals here. Fuck the noise. I almost wonder if I would be better off without all the personal development stuff and spirituality. That was probably a mistake. Psychedelics were a mistake too. So many mistakes. All I needed was High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard and then music practice, study and performance. I overcomplicated my mind.
-
@VioleGrace I am gonna just commit to actually doing the thing. Like I was before. Because I played so much in the past I found myself on festival stages. But, then I had a major setback. I am better performer and writing now. I’m gonna do it. All this advice isn’t for me. I’m an artist not a sales person or a real estate agent or anything else.
-
I feel that too 🤔
-
What instrument do you play? I saw Santana(78 years old) this year, his wife is 65. She's insane on the drums, check her out. She's his drummer.

But in a way i can relate to, Even a high paying job like real estate agent can be despicable for a lot of people if they don't like there job, Cause a lot of people including me can't work for just money for years, And especially some jobs require a lot of commitment in term of time and mastery do get high paying That can be nearly unbearable for someone who dont really like his job It quickly becoming a way to enter and get trapped in the wage slavery i guess So for these people what is the right way to gain money to do what they love ? It seems to me that it is create a business, but you may as well create a business relate to your life purpose in that case Now that i thinking about that, why don't you make a video on how to find a good business ideas or how to master money that can help people to take care of their basic material needs so they can naturally focus easily on their self actualization ? I guess you may have more insights on that part than average people

It gets easier with practice, like all things.
