Hi, guys! I'm a bit afraid of Brazilian elections because Bolsonaro has 56% of valid votes. He spreads the hate culture and he claimed he will exterminate people who support the opposing political party. He clearly said he will shot people who support the opposing political party. I understand that some countries need it to evolve in the spiral, but I'm afraid about my life. I also want to live in a country with thinking freedom. Bolsonaro says he's not kidding about a Christian State as well. What seems to be happening is that he will change the Brazilian constitution. I'm thinking on moving abroad to a different country, but I don't know which country would accept me. I also have schizoaffective disorder, so I need to move to a country where I can treat my condition (with Green/Yellow treatments). Am I being dramatic or paranoid? Or I'm being intelligent about this idea of moving abroad? I remember Leo says it's a good idea to know different cultures. Maybe that's also my opportunity to do it. Bolsonaro doesn't seem to care if people like me move abroad. He makes it clear that he doesn't want minority people to live in Brazil. He makes it clear that he will clean Brazil from people like me. It seems also he will support a law that will let the government to watch/monitor people's activities on the internet. It's creepy. I'm afraid, guys...

Dude, take a look at Bolsonaro's videos and his hate speeches. I have to do my research about my family tree.

Hi, guys! I have been trying to find my passion and my true self. I've already decided: "I want to be an artist!" Then I get bored with studying drawing and I give it up. I've already decided: "I want to be a pick-up artist!" Then I reflect on it better, find resistance and give it up. I've already decided: "I want to be an English teacher!" Then I get bored with studying English and I give it up. I have literally no clarity of what my passion is. The advices Leo gives us to find our passion: - Reading: I read at least a book a month. I have many self-development and psychology books. I like them, I really love the idea of success; - Go to college: I'm not sure about this advice because there are many successful people that didn't go to college. Anyway, I'm studying at college (my studies start again next year) and, damn, it's quite boring and turning down when we realize professors teach students to become an employee. - Travel: this is a wonderful advice, but I need money to do it. I want to find my passion to make money to travel. Should I make money with digital marketing just to travel? Is it okay? Is working or having a business for the sake of travelling worth it? - Try different jobs: I think we can apply here the idea of becoming a volunteer as well. It's a good idea. - Meet new people: wonderful advice, but I still think we need to meet the right people. Anyway, I have too much fear of talking with new people because I'm not sure about my passions. Giving the honest answer "I don't know my passion" seems to make me less masculine and not worthy. - Be open to new things: good one. If I wasn't open to new things, I would never find Actualized.org or start my emotional healing. Being open-minded always help in order to see different perspectives. - Spend time by yourself: I'm a hard case introvert. I don't think spending more with myself will help. If someone has more advices, I appreciate it. I think travelling will expand my consciouness, but I need the money to do it. Do I need a passion to start making money? I really hate being an employee and I have the conditions to open a business. I would just make money in order to find my passion and learn new things. What do you guys think about it? Thank you!

Hi! I'm doing some exercises of shadow work. I'm just doing it by myself with light traumatic events (the heavy ones I want to do with a professional). I'm listing some traumatic events. I remember the events, but not with a lot of details. Is it important to know the details? If so, how can I increase my perception? And after listing these traumatic events (some of them make me cry, even some light ones), what should I do?

Thank you again, @Max_V! I just got triggered by a family member and was feeling like a dumb. I can recognize the last time it happened, but I'm not sure of the first time it happened. I just had put the oldest traumatic experience I remember. Teal Swan is awesome by the way!

Smooth of banana, prunes and milk.

Thank you, @Max_V! When I was reading your post, it recalled me an exercise of The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida. I think there is a similar exercise in the book The Multi-Orgasmic Man. Another trick that is helping me is just doing physical exercises. Edit: I completed 30 days of NoFap! Now I'm on a 90 days challenge.

Leo talks about Modafinil during his last video. It's important to be aware that it can cause psychosis in people with schizophrenia (and probably in people with other mental disorders). There is a topic about it on this other forum: forum.schizophrenia.com (you can use the Search tool to find threads about Modafinil). Follow Leo's advice and do your research.

I'm reading a Tim Ferriss' book but I'm itching to read another book about life mission. Do you guys think it's okay to read 2 self-help books at the same time? One book is about business and the other is about life mission.

There is a thread (I think it's on the carrer section) where a guy asks if it's a good idea to do two courses at the same time. Another guy answers him telling it's not a good idea. Then I started to think: "If two courses at the same is not a good idea, maybe two self-help books at the same time isn't also a good idea." I'm worried that I will get lost because I'm already taking 3 different courses and reading a book. Maybe it's too much.

Jordan Peterson! ... kidding... A guy who inspires me is Felipe Marx (a Brazilian guy who teaches self-development), some RSD guys (Owen Cook, Maximilian Berger and Julien Blanc) and Teal Swan.

Maybe you need to assess if this Amazon course will help you with your purpose (which may be just trying to find your life purpose). I'm thinking on asking my money back for a digital marketing course I bought in order to purchase Leo's course. I'm also doing another self-development course that talks about the difference between intention and purpose. It teaches a lot about self-discipline. I'm also wondering if I will have to stop this self-development course in order to start Leo's course.

I need to wait some time before purchasing Leo's course. Is there a first step I can take before accesing it?

I have a natural talent for drawing and writing, but I get bored when I do it too much. But I can work with it (because I have the experience, but not because it's my passion). No, I didn't take LP. Currently I don't have the money to do it. I'm also doing another self-development course, but its focus is not on Life Purpose. Anyway, the author of the course says I need to go testing different things to find my Life Purpose (it's not something that will fall on my lap after doing an online course). Should I do nothing then? Dude, LP course may be very good, but it's not the answer for everything and for every person.

The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida. It's not about techniques, but it teaches how to deal with women (and with your life). If you want something more specific, maybe you want to read The Physical Game by Ozzie (RSD Nation).

Thank you, @Torkys I just did this exercise created by Steve Pavlina for 35 minutes when I started to cry. I wrote a statement: "To teach men and people to heal themselves, showing them how to be more open with each other, with no fear of showing their emotions, making them offer what they have of most valuable to the world. Teach them how to be themselves." I feel it's the right thing for me, but it seems to be too little. It's doesn't seem to be very masculine. Once a therapist told me that men shouldn't be so sensitive, but I remember watching a Leo's video where he started to cry (he was talking about his life purpose). It's about being a true man who won't lie to people because he shows his true emotions. It's complicated. I achieved a point during this exercise where I started to cry, but I still have resistance. It's kind like: During the exercise: gradually I decrease resistance and start to cry; After the exercise: all resistance come back and then I forget how I achieved that place of no resistance. If I rationalize, this statement makes sense because I had psychosis. It's said people who had psychosis become healers (shamans). Edit: sometimes I have the idea that I just cried because I was depressed. But I'm not heavily depressed right now. I don't know, just a thought.

I want to spread my message to the world. I just have the opportunity to do a lecture on my struggles in December and I'm pretty excited. If it's my passion, I don't know (actually, I'm a bit afraid because I'm not so good at lecture / but I LOVE the challenge of doing it). What I know is that my message will help people to see new possibilities. I'm writing a blog about schizophrenia and a person told me that a mom got more will power to take care of her son after reading my last blog post. It excites me! I got really grateful for what's happening, the idea that my message makes a difference. Thank you for sharing the video. I watched it and: why not? I love this world! I love people! I love this existence! It excites me! I think I'm more worried about how to make money instead of how to help people. It's self-sabotage. My worst possible scenario that I can imagine is not taking an action to help people and have absolutely no money for food, shelter, clothes and basic stuff. I'm also afraid of never having money to go towards my dreams (like travelling the world). I want to read this book. I was watching a Cal Newport's lecture yesterday and I like his insights. Now I'm reading The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss and I will probably read a book about life purpose after this one. I like Cal Newport's ideas, but it's important to be careful because the idea of working on anything won't work. I was forcing myself to study art and it was not working. I saw no future on it and 0 excitement (of course, I like drawing, but just as a hobby). I really want to help people and inspire them. How? I don't know yet. I just realized that writing about my life is helping people to be more resilient. I didn't know I had this power. The idea of creating my life purpose is more exciting than waiting my passion to fall on my lap.

Thank you, @GaiaGoddess I need money to buy Leo's course. At least, I have his book list (which is fascinating). The idea of discovering my passion before making money is not helping me. I feel ashamed for earning money with something that is not my passion.

Do you think it's possible to start an online business without knowing your passion and life purpose?

Hi, guys! I have a huge desire of working with pick-up industry and make money with it. When I watch RSD videos, I get too much excited and I want that kind of reality. I don't necessarily want to become an RSD instructor, but I want to have my own business, master the art of dealing with women and make money with it. Why I want it? Probably because women are my most difficult challenge and it means that, if I overcome this challenge, I will master my psyche. By mastering it, I can share my experiences with other people in order to give them insights and help them to deal with their fears. Once I played a spiritual game where I had to put a purpose on it. I chose the purpose of helping men deal with women and with the world. I won the spiritual game and I took it as a signal that I should follow this intuition. I'm still not good with women. I'm quite a chode and most of the time I'm stuck in my mind when I go out. Anyway, I want to work with it. Has someone started this path? How did you become a master? How did you start to make money with it? Thank you.

I got it. Just went out yesterday and approached some girls. First steps to mastery!

Thank you for sharing the video. Thank you @universe! I want to start learning it and create a business to, at least, sell other people products until I can create my own product. Good idea! I don't have too much experience, but I think it's very plausible to start learning how to do it. Thank you, @aurum! I love your feedback, man! Having this job mindset is helping me to summon courage to do it. I live in Florianópolis, Brazil, and I even created a Facebook group called RSD - Florianópolis in order to find likeminded people. Unfortunately, the PUA guys here in Florianópolis are very blue or orange oriented.

A cousin of mine is gay and he's pretty scared with this Bolsonaro's wave. I think he should consider moving to Uruguay if Bolsonaro becomes president.

Hey, guys! Just an update here: My sciatica got a lot better. I'm practicing Pilates once a week and, when I don't practice Pilates, I go for a walk. I'm feeling more energetic due to NoFap, then it's helping me with physical exercises.

I have lombar discal herniation and, this last year, I had problems with sciatica. It's getting better with time, but the healing process is pretty slow. At the moment, I'm not jogging due to that and just walking. I'm wondering which is the best approach to treat sciatica. I've gone already to three different doctors and one of them even said I had to go to surgery (it was around January when my sciatica was pretty bad, so I decided to go to another doctor to have a second opinion). My last doctor said that a surgery wasn't needed yet and that maybe I can get better without it (it seems that just less than 10% of the cases need surgery). I'm getting better but I still have some limitations. I was wondering what I can do to keep my physical conditioning. I just had the idea that swimming is a good option. But what I struggling with is: which type of doctor can help me better? Despite the last doctor telling me I didn't need surgery, he had put me in many antiinflamatory medicines and muscle relaxants. He seems to have a very alopathic perspective (not that alopathy is bad at all). I would like to have a hollistic approach to this problem. Does someone have any recommendation?
