You would want to consider the cost of production to the market value. It costs about $12,000 to mine one BTC right now. In 4 years that doubles over and over. People are paying a premium versus the mining prices because of supply shortage. I would consider some at $12,000 or less personally.

Taking a lot more action and working on getting as much as I can out of these books. I am reading the 7 habits of highly effective people right now and I am almost done. This book has surprisingly been quite a gold mine for me. I recall being deterred from this type of book just because I figured it was just a "productivity" book. I have got a lot of practical self management stuff out of it. Surprisingly a lot of communication and listening stuff for me too. Listening is going to be a major focus for me going forward. I can see honing this skill will be incredible in my life. I am ordering in a monthly planner whiteboard in too. I am starting to set up high priority tasks first. Some basic shit, but honestly I have not really been on top of that stuff. It got me to get all of my tax stuff out of the way and likely saved me a ton of headache so far. I seem to be in and out of a depression and laziness cycle lately. I am getting a lot of core stuff done and still exercising somewhat. I need to make sure that I am on top of actually going outside and running though too. I am working on building up a schedule that can help prevent me from getting in this cycle. I can't help but wonder if part of it is an allergy or something too. I am allergic to dust for sure and almost all of my reselling stuff is dusty as fuck. I am sure that could have a good amount of the issue to it. I might try to wear my n95 more or pick up a little pm 2.5m mask and wear it more while I do this stuff. I am sure that could help me a good bit just with that habit. I actually just bought some right now to wash and reuse. I am going to get allergy tested fairly soon too. I have a few things that I want to knock out. I want to finish building that pc. It seems easy, but need a couple things ordered in to make it work. I also need to set up everything to do my 2 month detox from the toxin solution. I think that could be a big aid in me getting down to any issues I might be having. I also want to go in for blood tests, which I should have done already. I also need to fix my car a bit and get rid of the check engine light. So a few things I need to get up to pace. I feel like I am just not getting enough out of my days and my life as a whole. I have a lot of good habits going and doing all that stuff. It isn't like I am not making progress. I feel like I am missing something or just going the wrong direction sometimes. Going to spend the day in meditation and fasting tomorrow. Going to think and reflect on what I can change in my life. I allow myself to effortlessly reach my listing goal of $50,000. Today, I am thankful for: Day to relax 7 habits book New books coming in

^ To me it sounds like you are more into the idea of what this stuff can do versus how much money it can actually make. I would love to get some sort of treatment like this and I actually do that for myself. I just can't see it making that much money. If you have tens of thousands of dollars laying around to fund start up companies, then you are most likely not going to find the advice you need here.

The stages transcend and include as you move up. No one is just going to be solid in on color, but they most likely have a dominant amount in one. Stages can vary on the environment and activity as well. Then you have to consider states that one could be in as well.

The thing is with psychedelic is they are not addictive, so the potential for them to make big returns isn't going to be that high. In general with therapy and etc it doesn't seem to be a super "hot" investment, but there is a good amount of money in the health care sector. The other thing is regulation can easily stifle large businesses. I have ran a business that got destroyed by regulation and even ones that were worth millions got wiped out with me. The high amount of speculation in this vs the potential return seems to not be worth it in my opinion. Even if you could just go to a store and buy some most of society is not going to be running to pick up some. The best selling stuff is the lowest consciousness stuff. You have to consider if insurance companies would even pay for this kind of treatment as well. Most people can't invest into a $5 book, so they are probably not going to invest into hundreds of dollars for therapy, when the drugs are much cheaper. The best way to find a good investment is to know a lot about the industry or investment itself. You can just stumble onto deals that can return massive margins if you know what you are looking at. I would easily be a millionaire if I spent more time while I was younger studying what I was investing into. Can't say I have done bad at all though just from what I have learned. A few good investing books would make it easy. The few investing books I have read and applied have done really well for me so far. I think with the kind of time horizon you have you could find a lot better established companies that could produce great returns. Picking small cap stocks in a wildly unknown industry is super risky. You can even get good returns by just investing in index funds.

Investing in yourself always brings great returns. I have made a lot of money even from just reading books and applying the information. I think development in general is continual. It doesn't sound like you have it all that bad where you are working now and it seems to provide enough for you. If I were in that position and I had a big calling for the creative work, then I would spend my extra time providing and giving that. Then figuring out how to make money from it. I can understand wanting more financial security, but you are going to be training to do something completely different and investing a lot of time and energy into that. Just think of 6 months invested into producing that creative work of how much closer you would be to making money from that.

I found it paired really nicely doing them once they came up. Most of the results come from doing it all with any similar material. I have been a bit slow on the course for a bit, but I bought all of the books that were recommended and they are fantastic so far. Lots of value even just in the books.

Not sure what the 6 of you get by reading this journal, but come join me on my new one!

I never really gave any sort of a journal a a try, but I think I need to give it a go to really help make this coming year better than the last. I found out about actualized content in 2018. April 13th 2018 I ran into a driver that blew a stop a sign. I had some back pain from it some how put me into gear for creating a better life. A few months after a began to go out for a mile walk, which grew more and more. I had gained 50lbs after my house had flooded and working at burger king a few years prior. I had really been actively in a lot of low conscious activity. Running bad businesses, which I really did seem to maintain myself well with them no matter what it was. I kept on walking and playing actualized content every time I went. My habit grew and grew. I got caught up in usual pursuits of money and bullshit. That summer I did start to take reselling a little more serious and it really helped me get more into my walking habit as I had walked 5 miles a few times to go to garage sales. I got my German Shepard Bailey towards the end of the year and that really boosted my walking into some jogging. My relationship with my girlfriend at the time was toxic. She called me names and had constant anger and I really started to realized how much my life would suck if I continued to be with her. Coming into 2019 is when I really started making the change. I had installed my 1 hour daily mediation habit even though it felt I was not getting anywhere with it. I started getting more conflicting things with the girlfriend. I became vegan and she would constantly try to bring me back to garbage food or put me down for doing so. Her mom would ridicule me for anything I was doing. The girlfriend had been making up things and bringing me into lies about myself that she would create or invoke. I was unaware of it for a good amount of the time. The curtains started to come down as this 2 year relationship had really taken it's toll on me and I could see how toxic and destructive this really was. The best thing I ever did was not sign the lease for the apartment we had. I came and told her right to her face it was over and loaded up all of my stuff. I was ready to start moving on in my life. I had a family of friends I lived with for a while and all of their bullshit was just toxic. I had loaned them a car and had so many issues getting them to pay for any of it I had already made up my mind it was over. I just moved on and stopped talking with them. They were bad influences on me. It was a really survival based relationship with all of them. I questioned a lot of their morals with stuff, but for some reason just stayed their friend. It was a family with an uncle I had really looked up to, he was a master mechanic and he would teach me about cars, but he became so consumed in alcohol and anger it became bad. He had a huge heart, but could not help himself. The mother and father were were pretty close with me. I mean I was pretty much apart of this family at one point and I think a lot of it was that deep down I never really good to experience that in my own family. I hadn't talked to my dad in 5 years at this point. But I just ended it. Their values and desires in life are not anywhere near where I was even wanting to go then. I quit a toxic business I had built for years. This caused me anxiety all the time. I deluded myself time and time again to keep continuing this thing and making myself believe that it was right. It was a hard process. I was wrecked emotionally for a few days to even try and stop it. I quit nicotine on top of it. After a bit I realized that I was going to start reselling full time like I had been thinking about. I had this hobby going for a few years. Selling a lot of my personal stuff and what not. I knew I really had to start putting in the work. I really exhausted the businesses I was in. I had been lazy because I really did not need to do all that much work to really sustain myself. Especially living with my mom, so this was going to be a big change. One of the biggest in my life. I had so much more energy and drive than I have ever had in my life. I stepped it up and worked 80 hours a week sometimes to really put this thing into motion. My other close friends I had for many years kind of did me dirty on an exchange of work. They cost me probably well over $600 just from the bullshit they stood me up on. They got all drunk and just put it at a bottom priority. I should not have depended on them. This same weekend the friend drove 90mph head on at another car with me in the passenger and the only reason we did not crash was the other driver pulled off to the side of the road to dodge us. All over this friend just wanting to pass someone. I realized that this was it for hanging out with people like this. They were not going anywhere that I want to be in life and just dragging me down, so I cut off completely. This left me with one friend I had since 3rd grade, but we had kind of disconnected. I grew strong enough to jog 5 miles straight. I started pushing my limits more. I did a massive 24+ mile 17+ hour long mountain climb adventure that was life changing. It was the hardest physical task I ever conquered so far in my life. I realized that my life had changed and grew so much in last year. It was unbelievable. I grew a bit closer with the friend, so I at least had someone to hang out with every month or so. I keep this momentum going with all of my good habits and personal development. I quit added sugar, processed food, and really kept molding my life into something better. I registered my reselling business and really keep at it. Things kept looking up for me. I tried psychedelics for a the first time and saw some good growth on a just a few small trips. I climbed another mountain, this time a shorter distance one, but it was still quite brutal. 11 hours from start to finish. Definitely another big hurdle for me. My mediation habit is now very strong and I can get into an amazing state much easier and consistent now. My attitude and ability to let go are much greater now. Just coming into this month now December. I found out I care hire my little sister to work for me. This is really going to help me build into next year. I have a ton of inventory that I need help selling. I think this is going to excel me into finical freedom and independence much sooner. I bought the life purpose course and have been trying to maintain reading habit and focus on that heavily right now. I am wanting to find out what is the best thing I can do with this life I have been giving. I really do need to get ready this coming year for my big leap.

I have had a friend who had Schizophrenia. I have been friends with him for about 6 years and he has made some major improvements. Anyone can improve their situation from where they are. Diet is huge with this. I had recently found out I was allergic to peanut butter and I was eating a bunch of it recently. It caused me a huge amount of fatigue and brain fog. I feel great after I stopped eating it. I am going to get an allergy test soon too. I am also going to be doing a detox to try to work on my gut health too from the book The Toxin Solution. Just those few things might be worth looking into. You might have some sort of toxin or something your body is rejecting that you get frequently.

Is it mostly just thoughts? Or do you have any rituals etc too?

Going to get into a financial position to move to a new state by myself. Would also like to build a lot of clarity around my life purpose. I use to fill in a bunch goals and stuff, but seems to make sense to go for one thing, which for me is building up my finances.

Wow, hard to believe this has been another year of self-actualizing. Honestly, my life is so fucking good. No matter all of the little things I want or down times. This feels like I have hit the jackpot in terms of information, connection, and growth. I am going to sit down tomorrow and take some time to reflect on this journal, then I am going to create a new one for the next year. Hard to believe I kept at this so well too. I feel like I said to much shit with reselling here, but oh well. It shows though that I need to put my mind on some other stuff too. I am actually set up to list my first few posters now. I have everything in place to start streamlining these to get posted up. I am able to picture and grade about 10 an hour! Such a fast rate compared to my other items. Plus in that time they are labeled with a SKU code and prepackaged for shipping! Once someone buys I just go to the location it is in from the sku and put a shipping label on it, then leave it at my front door! Such an amazing category to be in for selling. Plus the pieces are really cool. I have not seen as much in terms of value for them sadly. I am hoping to maintain an average of at least $25 each, which is still not bad at all. Shipping is like $5 and I paid a few bucks each. Hopefully, I will still come across a few gems in there too. Either way it will be a really cool piece for my store. Really working on just not feeling bad about doing stuff or "guilting" myself. I have made some huge progress here this year. This has probably been one of the biggest things I needed to work on. I notice if I do the stocks in my roth ira I feel like I am just wasting my time or even occasionally with the games. Part of me feels like the stock thing is stage orange, so I try to image it as bad. I don't really spend a lot of time on it, but I like looking for winning stocks a bit. I like reading a bit of articles here and there and understanding finances etc. It kind of feels like some sort of strategy game. It's not like I am losing sleep over buying some companies in an account I can take funds from in like 35 years lol. I like to build a strategy and see if that works and the market agrees or disagrees. I think I need to just let myself do it if I feel like it. It's just a hobby and it is nice to have the info on it. I don't care too much about being mega rich or anything, but it would help me have more impact for sure. More money would allow me to help more people. Part of me feels like that since I am not able to add as much in funds to that if I mange them well and get the gains there it makes up for it. I am seriously close to 50% return in almost a year in the ira. I only put in a few thousand, but that is a nice gain for sure. All from just reading one book and some articles for awhile I generated a few thousand. Imagine if I read a couple more books and just keep casually at it for fun. Win or lose it seems like a nice side hobby. I allow myself to effortlessly reach my listing goal of $50,000. Today, I am thankful for: Mediation Mindful eating Mindfulness

@levani A counter top one might be worth looking into then.

About $300 and an hour or two of your time is all it would take. Maybe less if you get a counter top system. This would provide amazing taste, quality, and convenience.

@hyruga Awesome, I will look into them more. I appreciate the suggestions.

I would recommend that you buy nootropics that are just one thing if possible. I like to try to get the cleanest and purest one that I can find. I like buying them without the capsules too to get a large amount cheaper. The problem with that product is if you feel a good effect you are not going to be sure what caused it. Also, you will be over paying by a lot usually to get those types of products because you have to take a good amount of it to even feel anything. From what I could read it had a few good things in it for sure though. I would recommend researching and trying one thing at a time to get the most benefits. It will save you the most money and you can get a lot out of it. I have been into nootropics for a couple years and I only take two right now. Lion's Mane almost daily and L-Theanine every one to 2 weeks. I have tried a lot of different ones and these ones for sure give me massive benefits. I am still going to add more over time, but it isn't something I am in a rush for. I found that just optimizing health with good food made a huge benefit. That and good exercise and meditation has given me a lot more benefits.

@Romer02 Are you looking to drop ship or just resell?

I finished a 300 page book in about 4 days! I am really getting so much value out of these now that I set up my new system for reading. I am going to work on doing practices to digest the content a bit better though too. I can see that I have a lot of embody and work on with most of this material I pick up. I can see some quick results even from some of this material, but I see the need to keep working at it. I noticed I seem to be getting a lot done now. I feel like I want to work on building up my detox routine. I want to do the full toxin solution detox. I just got a juicer actually too! So I can try out some new stuff that I have been wanting to do. I invested a lot into books and etc, so taking a bit of cooling on buying more gear just yet. Having a really good balance with play and work. I feel a lot lighter and good in general. Seems to be a good thing that I broke out of. It doesn't seem like I am accomplishing less really. I would say more just because I treat myself so much better now. I am just intrinsically motivated to do good stuff for myself and build good habits. I feel like there is no need to force myself to even do this kind of stuff at this point. It is actually fun. It feels really good to give and share things with others. That is something that I want to build more into my everyday life in some way. I want my life work to be something that gives. I can just imagine getting up every day ready to work at my passion and do something meaningful to me. I am getting in the right direction for sure. I allow myself to effortlessly reach my listing goal of $50,000. Today, I am tankful for Friends Games Getting work done

You should check out the app called Think Dirty. You can use it to scan the barcodes of the items you have and it will tell you harmful ingredients in them, then suggest better ones. A lot of household cleaners are super toxic, so start there.

I usually only do light stuff like play games or relax during a water fast. Maybe in the first 36 hours you might have luck with that though. I can hardly read a book the second day in.

Made some huge progress lately. I got a special piece of metal cut to picture posters too. I am saving up the $700 to get all of the tubes for them. That will be a huge benefit for me. I am nailing down a process. I should be able to pump these things out easily now that I have everything all set up for it. Making some big strides all around it seems like. I am so glad that I am not being nearly as cheap. Things are working out so much better for me it seems like. I can see a huge difference just from that one thing in my life. One of the best things I learned from Leo for sure. I am making a lot of time improvements and just overall actually getting a lot more for my money. I feel my energy is coming on in full force since I quit he peanut butter. I have felt euphoria a good bit lately too. I probably have a bit of caffeine intake from eating to much cocoa though. I might work on dropping that out. I notice I am way more irritable than normal, but not anxious from caffeine it seems like. I imagine it could b anywhere from 10-40mg of caffine just from that lol. Which is a lot when you don't consume any and I am pretty sensitive. I love it with my oatmeal, but might drop it mostdays of the week if I find something else to flavor with. Seems to be working fairly well as a nootropic atm, but the emotional part is not ideal. Today, I am thankful for: Opportunities Reading Getting more done

I blew a chance to talk with a girl that started conversation with me. I just walked by and acknowledged what she said. I should consider trying to just stop and talk. I can't assume that she was interested in me either though. She just complimented my dog, which happens 1-3 times I got for a run to be fair lol. I could have still used it as practice and it seemed like she wanted more to a conversation. Little tripped up on it, but honestly I don't really want a relationship or to lead someone on, but I could practice conversation like that. Doing some research on moving to a new state. I think I want to move to Arizona. I need to build my income up and get things in order to do it though. I think this is a goal I can work towards by the end of the year if I put my mind to it. It sounds like an exciting adventure. This is also another reason I don't want to get mixed up with girls etc here. I want to do my finances and get to a level I can run my business independently and pursue my life purpose. Really starting to come to the conclusion I really want to teach self help. I probably sound like a broken record on here, but the more I read these books I can feel it. I am still building skills and reading books etc towards this. In fact a good amount of my day is geared towards this kind of stuff. I even read 200 pages this weekend, which is a nice up tick on this habit. I am really glad I put it towards the top of the stuff that I want to do as a most important thing. Really getting a lot done it seems like. Did a lot of tasks this weekend and really enjoyed it. Played a good amount of games too. Read a bunch as well. I notice I can't handle more than a couple hours of gaming now. I am playing the 2011 deus ex and it is amazing. I allow myself to effortlessly reach my listing goal of $50,000. Today, I am thankful for Sun at the park Awesome day Cleaned my car!

I don't think it is bad with natural sugars. They are very enjoyable too. A bit of it isn't going to hurt. I would aim to remove processed added sugars from your diet if anything. That would be a major benefit. Not just carbs and natural sugars. I don't think having some carbs and natural fruits is going to do anything dire. Overdoing them wouldn't be good, but like with anything I don't think there is much harm in it. If you really want to do all I would just start by just cutting out the added ones completely. I have removed added sugar for 1-2 years now. It has been excellent. I no longer have much acne and just feel great. Try out some raw cocoa or cocoa nibs. It is amazing and won't contain any extra stuff. I like making my own oatmeal with it.

Going to have a month to move a big portion of my stuff to a storage unit. Honestly, this fucking sucks, but not much I can do about it. I really don't want to operate out of one. I feel like I have been to fucking lazy with the amount of progress I have in reselling. It's made me too complacent. Even with just living here in general. It's been too cheap and easy for me to operate and not need more. Granted, I am working on other things. I am really wanting to be able to prove higher income, so I would need to write off less and get an apartment somewhere. I was thinking about moving to a new state entirely. I don't really care much about anyone here aside from my mom and sister. I can see this has both limited me and exploded my growth, but the next step for me is likely just moving. Obviously, I can't right now, so I have to power through it. I feel like I am still not nearly getting much done. I did actually get a start into the posters though. It just feels like I waste a lot of time. I really need to get that dialed in, so I can expand my income. I just want to hit a level where I am saving a lot. It will give me so many opportunities and I will be able to explore the life purpose with funding. Doing an LP with no money seems like a struggle for sure. So I need this to be fully going well. I just don't wake up excited to resell much anymore. I suppose most of things I enjoy with it I can't really do. I like getting new inventory, but mostly I just need to list and do the stuff I don't enjoy as much. My book reading has been killing it lately though. I am cruising through these books and retaining a lot of stuff from them. I am really glad that I have put this as one of my top priority things My meditation seems like it has been more of a struggle lately, but overall I cannot complain. My energy is starting to come back up. I have not followed up with contacting my dad in several months. I notice that I still hold some of the old stuff against him. Not sure after the LSD trip I honestly don't give a fuck about him. The thoughts of him etc just are not present. I seemed to have mostly forgiven him, but at the same time got the relive of the burden of thoughts. I notice I just slightly feel bad for blowing him off, but to be fair he could have called me or tried to contact me over the last 7 years. I don't regret removing him from my life. I don't need to impress him or create some sort of image to him. If I do talk with him I should be more blunt and not tip toe around all of the stuff he has done.
