entrepreneurship is hard work. I say that as an observer/admirer of friends/family, people Ive met in my social circles that have started their own businesses. You can definitely make a hobby into a business but you have to keep at it and know its not instant. A lot of entrepreneurs worked many many years prior (ie: Leo) before someone invested in them or could go solo. If it's something you are passionate about and LOVE doing, do it!

@Arcangelo how so ..? why do you believe this/what experience made you believe this..?

this could be in the realm of self-actualization ...or love ....either way its new favorite of mine <3 (good running song too)

@Gili Trawangan thanks! I know, I started to question where/how this idea would come from...why is it that (men) have an ego or seem dickish when discovering self-actualization? Is it constant? (permanent?) Does your view on relationships drastically change considering @mikey1028 post???

I know every path is different to self-actualization, but for a beginner and someone learning more about awakening, would anyone recommend a process? If you could 'do it over again' , what process would you take? I know self-development is constant in this process, but in terms of deconstructing/the chopping block of beliefs, shadow work, etc could I jump into awakening faster...? Is meditating the 'holy grail' for awakening?

@mikey1028 This is intriguing as I am in that same place. My ex and I just broke up due to my own jealousy (which I've discovered I've had for centuries). He is more advanced in this path and has had awakenings (one of his birth, 'one-ness' pure love, hyper intuition) which essentially has made him conclude to polyamory and believe that all women are love and men are 'abominations.' Is this "normal" in men to be more open to polyamory when learning/have awakenings? Do women also have more open relationships or like the same sex? We have not been together very long in this current lifetime, but have had the same dreams from other lifetimes and each end him leaving me (due to my jealousy) and a door closing, flame going out ...which leads me to conclude I killed myself after he left. And now, here I am.... I love him very much and I want to try. I've had this lesson handed to me over and over and have pushed away a man that has endless love for me. I don't want to be this anymore. Understanding I have A LOT of personal work to do and healing, he has directed me in the right direction of learning about awakening, understanding myself and essentially, learning my 'life's' mission. I am curious to know if anyone(s) have had a similar experience or past life regressions? If married and in the process of learning enlightenment, has your partner been more open to polyamory? Are there dating communities in enlightenment???
