What led you to start implementing self-esteem stems, gratitude journaling, and using your commonplace book as part of your self-improvement journey? How have these practices helped you specifically in your journey towards overcoming depression and improving your self-esteem?

@Leo Gura you've come around you used to look down on people for even mentioning weed.

True but if all it took was natural language... then I think programming could lean towards further commoditization. hence reducing salary, since the technical knowledge would be lower.

Honestly man, this is more common than you think. I've actually worked alongside famous PUA's and it was pretty shocking to find out how neurotic and anxious they were. They didn't have that sort of peace that you see from Eckhart Tolle, sadguru and so on and so forth. Not going to lie. All the marketing and sales along with the pickup stuff I've done has definitely been a good skill to develop. But if I had to be completely honest, I think the real confidence comes from authenticity. And with all of this pickup stuff and there's a lot of inauthenticity and trying to become a supposed high quality male or like when you have a lot of money as well... Right? being good with girls or having a lot of money is supposed to be an indicator of your self worth. But I think the real confidence comes from purposefully deconstructing all of this and then going for what you really want as opposed to chasing societal constructs and memes. This means that ultimately you might have to let go of the idea of getting p**** or becoming rich. You have to be comfortable with that idea because ultimately what you want to do is to live your authentic truth. This is how you truly live at peace with yourself. Not by forcing yourself to do all these arbitrary things that society has arbitrarily programmed you to do. You will have to truly rely on your creativity in order to live a life and create something unique to you. Not live Somebody else's dream.

I would say so

this song will lift you out of the darkest depths of hell and re-align you to your purpose. Must listen on MJ or LSD.

Mind clusters, Jimmy.

yes... but ultimately the atheist perspective is too limited in its ability to see the bigger picture, limited in creativity, so it straw mans GOD as a mean guy in the sky. The atheist perspective conceals its lack of intelligence with a veil of sophistication => but is actually only looking at the possibility of GOD through a very narrow, black and white lens.

Yes, even though you are a single person ; an individual... The effect you have on the world is more than you can ever imagine. You have it completely backwards. You can change a person's life with just a few words. You can change her person's life with a simple glance. The effect you are constantly having on the world is more than you can ever imagine. Now if you're intentional about it... And develop a life purpose as you say... Then the effect you have on the world can be even more powerful because you are going about it in a disciplined and proactive way. Sorry you feel the way you do, but my friend do not lie to yourself, you have a massive effect on the world, just right now as you are without a life purpose.

These are inarguably the two greatest footballers of our generation. They've been compared to each other their entire careers. But these two players couldn't be any more different. Messi is considered the better of two though by many. In spite of this, Cristiano Ronaldo appeals to people for a totally different reason. Messi is the ideal. Zero imperfections. Naturally perfect. No flaws. The best player God could create. He's a human cheat code as far as soccer goals. For a mere mortal, it is simply unfair. No matter how hard he works, Ronaldo cannot match the natural, seemingly effortless perfection that is Messi. Messi is the manifestation of the ideal in human form. Ronaldo must sacrifice absolutely everything and even then he is always a step behind Messi / perfection / the ideal. The ideal does not have to work so hard, it is already perfect. However, people know in their hearts the ideal is unreachable. Ronaldo represents actualizing your full potential. It's not perfect. But it is near-perfect. it's beautiful in its own way because of the commitment and journey to get there. If you're lucky, some sort of genetic freak like Messi 1 in a million chance with the stars aligning perfectly... then maybe but for the rest of us, we represent Ronaldo. Not perfect but taking yourself and developing yourself as much as humanely possible, given your limitations. You'll never be perfect, but you can create something truly magnificent and beautiful. to sum it up... Messi represents something you cannot become no matter how hard you tried. he represents perfection. while Ronaldo represents what you could become if you actualized your full potential. Ronaldo gives the avg person hope and reminds them of what they could become if they actualized themselves fully. he is a symbol of hope. -- this is why he is so beloved.

@aurum exactly ?

That makes the story even spicier ? He's probably an autistic savant, and also a dwarf. What an anomaly

@Consept I regret not taking the time to watch them all these years. Maybe a game here and there, or during world cups.

I am me, imagining myself typing on the keyboard. I am me imagining others responding to me. Imaging Leo give release a new video every Sunday. Imagining have an individual experience. imagine

if u have to ask?

@Tyler Robinson I would definitely bring it up and just be straight up about how you feel about it. Sounds like he's a kind of guy that usually gets his way also. So he plays it off like it's not a big deal and then does what he wants. As long as you don't bring it back up, he conveniently assumes that you were okay with it.

I'm currently in a similar predicament as OP. I'm also looking for remote work. In the past I did consider software development. But kind of got distracted and did some other stuff like sales. The thing is, I did get a couple simple projects under my belt with coding and programming. I pretty much learned all of HTML and CSS. Made some simple websites with flexbox and all that type of stuff made it look real nice and function as well I didn't do any JavaScript related stuff, that's pretty much where I left off. From where I'm at, how much work do you think I would have to put in to become a junior software engineer? If it's only a matter of 2 months or less then it's definitely something I would consider working for. But as of now, I'm working towards some other stuff, but it probably won't be as stable or as secure as an entry level software engineer role which I kind of need considering how much I messed up my finances in the past couple years

@Space AWESOME! gonna apply for some of those

Dahmer was nice

Sales job in a mattress store. people walk in only so often... you're by yourself most of the day in an empty store. when people DO come in, you get a few chances to make a very decent weekly earning (low six figures at the high end... maybe 50k on the low end -- assuming full time)
