@aurum hi! I've always seen your replies on here, grateful for your response! (Viv: My list: 1. he walks his talks, he knows what he wants in life. 2. he is lighthearted, easy going and playful. 3. he's attentive and fully aware and present of emotions arising and be able to see through situations, so that he doesn't get into fights. 4. stable job/career/life purpose 5. finances in order (he doesn't have to be super rich but at least to have positive cash flow and some amount of accumulated net worth) 6. able to have open vulnerable, deep conversations and be supportive for each other.....this list is really high standard, what if i don't find anyone like this? I will be so disappointed )

@mr_engineer hi there!

@Something Funny

@Vercingetorix hello

@Devin hi!

@Raze hi! I've seen a lot of Matthew Hussey and John Gray videos, but i found that reality is attraction and relationship are far more complex than a simple 5-step tip to hook the guy/please the guy. Thanks for the links!

@NoSelfSelf hi!

@Something Funny

@Arcangelo hi!

@Something Funny hi, nice to meet you!

@VictorB02 This is helpful, much appreciated for the insight I get so caught up by the little things in life that I lose track of owning my life sometimes.

Beautifully written

This is a really good question. You may want to look into practicing many different types of relaxation techniques, find one that suits you and practice it every day. Our mind works best when we are calm and confident, your memory will tend to work in your favor when you're not feeling tensed. Things you study will be accessible when you want to recall them. i'm sure you'll do great. Cheers, good luck in your studies

If you have 1 year left to finish your studies, I think it's better to finish it off. You can choose to dive into other fields of interest/passion/hobbies later on in life eventually, studying philosophy might come useful one day, who knows? The mind likes to think how the grass is greener on the other side, thus you tend to feel stuck in your situation. Perhaps having an accountability partner from your course may help you to get through this easier. Know that you'll always have choices in life, good luck with your endeavor

On a side note, I'm thinking I'm being too hard on myself. The reason I wanted to speak better is because I'm currently doing a course that involves me communicating to people in a way that the voice plays a factor in what's being absorbed into the mind. I figured having a magnetic voice would be a strength when it comes to providing a service to people. However my instructor gave his feedback and said I have great intonations, I'd just have to keep it up and just be myself. Thanks everyone who gave your feedback at the above, I appreciate your time spent on this post. feel free to give a comment if you have more suggestions on how to develop your own unique voice <3

Just a quick question, anyone has any idea how to sound good? I am practicing on my speaking these days and i find that i do not sound convincing when I speak when i replay my own recording. How did you guys navigate to find out your perfect tone or voice while giving a speech, recording videos, recording podcasts? If I replayed Leo's old videos and compared it to how he sound like today it is rather louder and clearer. Speaking is an unconscious thing to do, and most of the times we are not aware of how we sound like because we are not the ones who listens to ourselves. Maybe it has much thing to do with the in and outbreaths? Or the amount of confidence one has? Or I tend to withheld myself sounding to loud (being too self conscious) Or maybe I could ask a voice coach.. Cheers, thanks in advance

@mmKay well said! I'll try to be more playful and expressive, maybe I'm suppressing too much here by the fear of being judged by what's being said. Your feedback is helpful mate, thank you!

@Osaid Practice speaking authentically from the heart definitely is a good idea. I like your feedback, I wonder what it's like to be an extroverted version of myself, that'll definitely open new doors for me. *I'm about to buy myself a microphone and amplifiers so that the ENTIRE world can hear MY VOICE* I need to be heard

@mmKay Lying through my teeth doesn't really work well for me. I couldn't make a sale back then when I worked as a real estate agent. Still something I felt I have yet to overcome the internal mental blocks here trying to sell something without feeling the need and guilt to manipulate/mislead customers. Some of my friends told me to go a convenience store and try to ask the retail assistant to check the price tag on a random product, saying that I saw there was some advertised discount on a product, literally making trouble with the sales assistant training myself to be more assertive by insisting there was some kind of discount on the item. I thought that was funny, but a good idea. This is actually a good suggestion. I laughed hard when I say "My. eyes. are. purple." Lol, you see? I don't even believe what I just told myself, because I know that that's not true, my eye are not purple lmao Yeah please do use this technique with caution. This is helpful, though not sure about the bullshitting part, but I appreciate it The guy is pretty tensed in his head, he couldn't let go of how other's judge him. When you're so tensed your jaw muscles are so tight and contracted. Most of us do this unconsciously all the time. Oooft, so you went to Owen's program? Cool stuff, how does that impact you personally?

@Leo Gura I just tried speaking the alphabet loudly, I sound instantly better already. I realized I was not consciously paying attention to myself while speaking since it's effortless to talk all the time, without needing to recall how to technically speak. Still remember that you used to speak so fast when you initially started shooting videos, how did you eventually get yourself to slow down over time? Was it some kind of mild feeling of anxiousness that gets you to speak fast? I find that I'll tend to speak fast when I get nervous, I kinda want to get it over and done with, so I'll sound like I'm mumbling instead, the more I speak the softer I'll sound lol.

@Preety_India did you find the techniques thought by your voice coach helped you? Humming feels more like warm ups. Were you trying to get singing lessons? That's cool. I wouldn't say I'll want to change my voice per say, it's more like I want to polish it to be uniquely distinct. I've met a voice coach a couple months back who's a vocalist who also works as a voice/vocal coach. If I'll want to step up my game I better hire someone professional. Those singer/performer/talk show host they literally have voices that makes me feel like, 'wow i love your voice'. It's so magnetic and so mesmerizing

the best thing about life is that you get to choose who you want to be, to make it meaningful as how each individual define life meaningful to them. and there will be no wrong answer to this question.

@flowboy You're right, it is questionable if the video is valid or it could be staged for clickbaits. It's just a rough idea how it works I experienced it so i am telling my story. I never met the animal communicator in person (but she's in the same town) and she were able to connect with my dog through a distance. I had to verbally inform my dog that this particular person will communicate with him at a specific time while she goes into a meditative state to connect with my dog. I was mind blown with the details she gave me and helped me grieve my loss with a unique way to communicate, a very enriching experience really. She's incredible! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Much love Imagine if we have the intuitive ability to read animal's mind. The ability to connect with Mother Nature this way is fascinating.

About one year ago, my family dog died. Before that happened I started feeling like he's losing his appetite and maybe might be sick. I took him to the vet for a checkup and did found some health complications. At that time I happened to see an article/website of a business where this girl were able to talk to animals - she was trained of course. With what the vet were saying, I felt that time is almost up for my dog - this could be it for him, so i thought I give it a try to experiment with an animal communicator. So i hired her for a session and here's my insight: Dogs have good memories - he was able to describe in detail! My dog were able to recall how I got him in the first place He also were able to recall the park he always go for walks after we moved 5 years ago (I have forgotten about it,since it really were a long time ago, ended taking him there one last time before he passed and oh his expression blew me away that time he was very ill) Dogs have their likes and dislikes! My dog liked chewing and his sleeping space, he were able to describe the cooling spot He also pointed out how he disliked being called as getting 'old'. (Story behind it: I've always like to tease him that he is getting older in my daily nostalgic conversations with him, since he's with us for more than 10 years, recalling how I got him is a really good story to hear again and again) Dogs experience jealousy! My dog disliked it when there's a new dog in the house and seen him as a threat to himself since attentions going towards the new family member. Dogs are able to express gratitude! He were able to express gratitude for living with my family with food and a place to sleep. The animal communicator described my dog's personality perfectly She were able to tell me how my dog's behavior and mood at home Dogs experiences pain, anxiety, sadness, frustration, and fear It broke my heart when he were able to describe the places where he felt uncomfortable, how this unease gave him anxieties, breathing difficulties and try it hold in with the pain while he still can. He also expresses fear of death - not knowing what its like to go to the other side and leaving behind our family for good. Note: I did not mention any specific moments to the animal communicator, but she were able to get all information by communicating with my dog. It's really fascinating how she could 'get' animals, even pest control like dealing with rats, cockroaches and ants by communicating/ negotiating with them. The pests didn't cause any trouble again. She also helps with animal behavioral issues with their respective owners - usually it is the issue with owners that causes a pet to behave the way they behave - over barking, chewing furniture etc. It was a very eye opening experience for me. Mostly human just think that animals have no feelings - since they're just animals and that is not true. I always thought that whatever that I say to the dog he would half understand what I say to him since he doesn't reply me lol - and that is not apparently the case. How can we make our relations to Nature a more compassionate and considerate for the ones who can't speak. We can in fact live with each other harmoniously without stepping on each other. Have you experienced anything similar? I would love to hear your thoughts.

@Keyhole the pets clearly wants to communicate but doesn't know how. It will be helpful using a product like that. That is so neat I found a video (start from the 9th minute) that documented the whole process of using animal communicator. Even though i experienced it but I still find this so fascinating. They actually have very complex, self conscious thoughts.
