Thanks a lot for sharing

The answer is entirely inside you. Get to know yourself better and how you function, then you'll find what you really value, and then it's just hard work and mindfulness to act that way every time. Easier said than done but you can do it.

I find that true satisfaction only comes by doing that thing that comes out of you, of your higher self, of your true self. Not because of what you get when you achieve something, but because of the process of expressing your true self with the things you do everything else is secondary.

Simply by being that by yourself in your female form yep, its as simple as that. Be awesome and you'll attract awesomeness. Be negative and you will attract negativity. When you change yourself you will attract something like you, very simple right? Good luck on your search!

First of all I'm really sorry about the situation you're going through... Its tough watching people you love suffer without need. But we can't stop here or loose faith! So, I see you've put a lot of thought into this, and I agree with the steps that you can take. Maybe your father isn't aware that things can be better, and it's not your duty to wake him up or something like that... I don't believe in duty or must do's. BUT, if you suffer from watching him doing what he does I'm sure you can talk with him, of course reading those self help books will help but the main issue here is that he recognizes the problem he has (sometimes people don't even know they have a problem and that things can be better) So yeah, I would recommend your steps and also that you approach it carefuly, making him slowly aware of the problem. And lastly I would say... Don't ever loose faith! You're not alone and you can create whatever you want, so if you deeply feel you want to help your father just do it little by little. Good luck!!

Aswell as the sleep mentioned by Suresh you surely need your vision and your dream life that fills you with excitement and drive!! You can only look for it inside you, there is no other way. Good luck and don't loose faith.

Happiness comes always first, I love this quote and I think it can help you "If you do what is easy your life will be hard, but if you do what is hard your life will be easy". It's hard to pursue ones dream but once you're on the road there's nothing that can stop you. I don't see why being at home with your parents is something negative, I mean, if you want to move out just save some money and of course follow your dream and passion which I assume is your business. You do have the foundation of your parents to quit the job that doesn't fulfil you and you can dedicate yourself 100% to your business. This way you will make money for sure and you will be able to earn your independance. Good luck and I hope my advice helped!!

Hey Ivelina! I think many people think of work ethic as harsh discipline and being tough on yourself. But it's not really about that... A strong work ethic is founded in the values of perseverance and persistence aswell as in discipline while you are after something. For me having a strong work ethic is also about commitment, commiting and not quitting of course As I haven't studied the subject in depth I don't want to say anymore but yeah, to me strong work ethic=commitment and perseverance mostly.

Nice topic Well I think that wasting your life is basically not reaching your full potential or the life that you want because you were lazy. When you stop... growing so to speak I think that is wasting your life... just like a plant that can become a tree would waste its life if it stayed as a tiny sapling haha I hope it makes sense.

Sure something like that would be great! And like that with all the self-actualized work to be done everyday

That's a very good idea! Well I would expect such app to have information about every aspect of self-actualization (you know how broad this is ), I also think that having some kind of forum or chat to share ideas like here would be interesting, and maybe it could have some kind of personalized reminder with your affirmations... meditation routine and so on. I hope I helped and good luck with your project! Let us know how you progress.

Wow your situation is the same as mine! Exams in 1 month and just starting a new relationship. But I'm not stressed at all, I'm actually feeling proud of myself. I do have some habits that I do everyday to make sure I keep growing and don't stop. -Meditation (gives me the calm and clear mind I need to stay present) -Study my career (I love it so I just keep developing my passion) -Study personal development (To keep growing as a person more and more) -Workout (gives me energy and nice feelings like keeping my self-esteem up) -Journal (to organize my thoughts and keep track to know if I'm in the right path) -Affirmations (to keep my morale and mind set in the right way to be as effective and as happy as possible)

Simply enjoy the interaction with human beings. We are absolutely fascinating, there are times to be alone and to do introspection, but when you're with someone it would be nice if you shared those ideas you have in your head rather than keeping them inside, as well as asking the other person about themselves and in a whole being curious about people.

Of course not, leave the past in the past. From now on try to do it everyday, I remind myself with a daily task list that I must do everyday because they are things necesary for my development and for my life purpose. -Meditation -Journal -Affirmations -Study my career -Do self development work -Workout

I don't think I have understood your question... What do you mean exactly by overcompensation in dating? Anyways I will share some ideas. Relationships like any human endevour are something natural and spontaneous, you just have to make sure you are true to yourself, don't try to be another person or do stuff you don't want to do in order to have a better relationships. It doesn't work that way

It is exactly what you have to do!! Alan Watts explains this very clearly, how society has divided our day into 2, work time and play time. When we work we earn the money and then go home to enjoy the money we earned. What if we enjoyed the way we earned money? Sounds cool, so definitely we should all try to have full play time haha

Oh of course you're not the only one. I'm not talking about me but a lot of people don't know how to be in a relationship. Because they mainly use it to sustain one of their toxic needs like the need for acceptance, the need for love, the need for respect and in a more shallow way the need for sex or even material stuff. When you understand that you can meet those needs by yourself you will have no problems or anxiety in relationships. They are actually quite fulfilling and awesome, when two people that are awesome by themselves come together to create something even greater, learning and spending time with eachother. Accept yourself, love yourself, respect yourself thrive and be yourself.

Hmmm... lets go in an ordered way.. I've found that setting goals isn't the thing for me, because if you think about it that goal will limit you, maybe you can do better. The main issue here is how bad do you want it, in the example you used... how badly do you want to be more confident. From there you will come a lot of 'whys' so to speak, those are your reasons. From there you need some guide, what would you do to improve that confidence that you think will work with you specially. Finally the last step is taking action, I personally don't like rigid plans that tell when to do something and so on. Sometimes throughout my day I feel like working out then thats the time to go, sometimes I feel like studying, sometimes I feel like I want to do some personal development. Follow that intuition throughout your day but don't let it slide, I have some things that I have committed to do every day. I think the main issue is impatience and not enjoying the process of practice. Before you master any field like confidence you will struggle and it will take some time before you see results, just be more perseverant I hope I helped, if you want to know more about how I approach anything new I want to master do tell me. Good luck in any case!

Hey there! It trully is a creative theory, I liked the metaphor. But nowadays (although we still have a lot to learn) we know partially how the brain works and specially how the mechanism of memory works. Memory has three aspects of vital importance so that you can remember and recall something. One is concentration, as you said when you concentrate on something 'the road becomes shorter' , the second one is repetition, so to speak, when you run that road several times it gradualy becomes shorter until it becomes part of the mountain, and thirdly association, which you defined as information triggering other information, this will also make the road shorter Nice theory/metaphor nevertheless to understand the mechanisms of memory.

Wow very interesting post Saitama. Let me tell you I'm not a casanova or something like that but I can say I've been in love and know quite a bit about relationships and so on. It is important that you understand that what works for a vast amount of people (which mostly fake it) doesn't have to work for you... Yes we are all human beings but the need we have to relate to others, share interests and so on doesn't have to be linked to person with a relationship. You can obtain those things out of friendship or family. But the thing is, if you haven't found someone that really really attracts you in every aspect you don't really need a relationship. I'll explain, you don't need a relationship to be fully satisfied but as you go through life you'll find amazing people that you want to have close and sometimes that can lead to a relationship, it's something natural, no need to force it or look for it, it will come by its own means. So answering to your questions, it is fulfilling if its a true and natural feeling and yes, I do feel satisfied with my relationships but there are others (those that came from a need) that I do regret because they made me feel miserable. Conclusion: Let life take it's course, maybe you come across someone which really fulfills you, who knows

Simply talk with them, tell them that you're trying to remove that addiction, I'm sure they will understand and they will try and help you with it. Good luck.

First of all I would recommend that you remove the idea that you can't do something. That big dream you have should encourage you not depress you! Everything's possible if you put in the effort, the first step is knowing what you want, that's the hard part. From now on you just have to work towards it, maybe starting small at a local scale and building on it from there, learning chinese as you go through and get more experience in your field that will allow you to continue expanding. Don't try to grow too fast or you'll feel discouraged if you fail, go step by step. As I don't know much about export companies I can't give you more advice. But I do feel that technical things aren't as important as your mindset so you must start there. Good luck!

Of course you will @Edkens!! You just need time to get to know yourself more, develop, grow, solve your problems and instantly you will be more attractive. You won't need to worry about it, don't rush it, and don't try to heal faster just to be in a relationship. Doing it for you is the key Good luck with it and don't loose faith.

Completely agree with Leo! Don't stop and don't surrender. Of course you can do it, of course its hard but I've found that the key to developing and implementing the self development ideas in your life is taking massive action. Just do it you know, you might loose track sometimes, but it's then when you have to go back on track. Don't loose faith! You can do it
