Russia wants Ukraine. China wants Taiwan. USA vindicates itself over Venezuela. Fucked up!

They kidnapped a dictator in a 3rd world slum. Look at the mess they will leave behind though.

The MAGA fucktards will do a nice big 180 on how their isolationist dictator is “the president of peace.” “No more foreign intervention!”

Someone PLEASE come do this for us with Trump.

It’s because this teaching is a bit tricky to convey through language since people use different words and have their subtleties to their experience. Yes, you can discover an abundant life that comes easy but not in the sense of you giving up all responsibility and avoidance. think of it like there being an abundance of energy within that is realized and comes to you when you cut through all the bullshit. You can be trusted with this energy because you didn’t go out and force and fight your way to it. This simultaneous flow and ease exists still with getting up everyday when that fucking annoying alarm goes off and still doing some of the tasks and whatnot you may not always prefer to do in that moment cause it’s a bit uncomfortable or not as interesting as some of the others. This is WU WEI. It’s a simultaneous dance of yin and yang. There is abundance and ease that flows through all which one can gently open up to by releasing confusions and limiting beliefs. Simultaneous there is the self responsibility of committing to this and accepting life as it is (clocking into work and doing some stuff you may not wanna do today). Aligning with the natural order of the universe. The natural order for you may be needing to put a lot of time into study something you have chose you believe is right for you life that leads you onward to something else. Passion / joy is an emotion we create by seeing the value in everything we do as valuable and leading us to deeper realization and uncovering of our inner light. Passion is the excitement of what is unfolding, joy is the recognition of the love and beauty in it. No need to get caught up in feeling words.

There’s more to what OP said, specifically “feeling forced.” I would encourage OP to self inquire on why that feels forced? Why create tension to begin with? What do you believe exactly? The world only appears to push back when you create beliefs and expectations and judgements about how things should be, when you question your value. There is nothing inherently “hard” nor pushing back at you when you show up everyday to do what is right for yourself and your life, it can even be quite confrontational stuff like a job that pushes you out of your comfort zone (there’s still space and stillness between it) Can it be a bit tiring and repetitive, sure, honor that. Sometimes you do need to adjust your perspective and def do not be hard on yourself when you fall off the bike or want to go to a familiar place of playing the victim or judging everything you wish was different. keep it simple, set your intentions and just continually show up with no expectations and no insistence of having to control it all for it to work out. Use your head, be responsible and accept whatever unfolds with your heart. The forcing is resistance YOU create dude to your beliefs and judgements about reality. Nothing is inherently hard (resistance) but many things are challenging and require a ton of responsibility and commitment to build. Most people create a feeling of hardness as a byproduct to deter themselves from trying because they’d rather feel the hard feelings than plunging into the unknown and how it will all work out.

I was not being dismissive. I was communicating in a way I believe would get across to OP. I’ve come to learn not everyone should get the same type of response based on the issue they have and the details they provide. I also gave a more detailed answer as well if you look. I can tell you now, OP will be dismissed by the world and broke with this self deception game. You can join him too with putting my fries in the bag if you want but you need to realize the gravity of the situation here that comes with this type of self sabotage. Roosters will come home and it won’t be pretty when you’re 40 with no money and a lack of valuable skills because you were confused about having to commit and show up everyday to make your life better.

We do indeed and it’s delicious. But other sauces are catching on. I used to have the exact same mindset as OP, and I was able to resolve this type of thinking. It’s a sort of inner child game that is basically not wanting to take responsibility for one’s life because through a very childlike reasoning we had when we were young we thought that if we stick to a familiar pattern of behavior of doing nothing that we are somehow safe. There is a benefit to not doing anything out of fear but the results are not good… but we sit here and deny responsibility and don’t look at it with a clear mind. there are 2 choices 1) you take responsibility, you commit to your intentions, you take the right amount of action and you move forward 2) you stay in the familiar, sit there wishing, you act complacent, you make excuses and say you’re afraid or there is risk (keep in mind both 1 and 2 have risk to them regardless). Ultimately you are responsible regardless which you choose. 1 may not work out… 2 may not work out too… it’s a sort of illusion of control and safety but you’re just as in as much risk of something happening you don’t like in both 1 and 2. In other words you want to build a business … ok so with 1 you have a 50% chance you succeed or 50% it crashes and you have to pick up the pieces. Compare that to 2, 100% chance it doesn’t work out and you are then responsible for whatever shit results from that (flipping burger, poor people jobs, unable to pay medical bills, overall low quality of life). The crux of this issue comes down to simply accepting the unknown nature of life and moving forward regardless of whatever happens… always know YOU are valuable and can overcome no matter what even if lots of problems, and even if everything falls apart, you haven’t failed… it’s the souls journey, life circumstances don’t define or change your Devine nature and worth as part of the Tao.

I much prefer Claude as well. It’s really useful. I think you have to instruct it though and definitely don’t rely on it fully… it makes a lot of mistakes still.

Go live your life bro. Why even care if there’s some challenges in the way to overcome? You literally have two choices. Flipping my burger (don’t forget the fries) or being responsible and doing something to make your life better. That’s literally the only two choices. If you choose the first please don’t forget the ketchup.

I’m doing well… living life… with a lot of ups and downs. MY dad just turned 75, I’m working full time, I’m moving to a new country, I’m married supporting two people. Seeing a parent get old and approach the end of their life comes with grief. Life can ver very stressful for me and I’ve never had this much responsibility before. Sometimes I create a lot of fear… I need to really be here for me inner child. Life can be very challenging sometimes and beautiful simultaneously. I’m very blessed.

I would let this go and move on. Grieve and move on. This works sometimes when both people sorta fall out of love or get old and don’t care. Usually it’s harder for younger people to stay friends like this.

I think everyone here makes a good point. Luck, commitment, skill, creativity, etc. Is it hard? I mean I think that depends what you define about it as hard. It’s hard in the sense that it can take a lot of time and you taking total responsibility for your life and choices and what you believe. If you enjoy it though and see everyday as a natural unfolding heading in the direction of what you want, then it can be perceived as not hard but a journey which is unknown. So I think a good way to look at it is by keeping it simple. First ask yourself why you want the money. Get clear in your beliefs. If you want money because you think you need it to be valuable as a person or want to somehow buy safety and future proof yourself your initial trajectory will be off. Once you’re clear on belief then set some intentions about where you want to go. Get clear on what you are passionate about and enjoy and also are naturally talented at. See what skills you can grow. Look out into the world and see what locks need keys that you can create. There’s a ton of helpful mindsets to adopt. I’d say really the only thing that’s certain is the perspective you have the freedom to choose while living fully engaged in life. So choose one that leads to you thriving.

Latin American women are amazing as well. I’d say easily Eastern European and Latin American women are the most beautiful and most attractive. Brazilian women are damn good too. I lived there for several years. I prefer women from Eastern Europe over Latinas but Latinas are really good. I think in terms of pure beauty I would choose Colombia. My one issue with Latinas is that I believe I come from a wildly different background and am introverted and also that I am perceived differently there, so when I was there I never really fell in love with anyone just dated and had a little fun. It’s totally anecdotal but for long term I prefer Eastern Europe women.

Realistically the place to date and have fun would be LA and Miami, but it is expensive, extremely competitive (supply/demand/culture/values) and super toxic. Try-hard overpriced cities.... you can go to like 20 other cities on earth that will have the same amount, if not more beautiful women, cheaper living and a much more approachable/friendly culture.

American women are LOUD lol They really act like dudes. I can't stand them to be honest. As friends sure, but dating hell nahhhhh. So glad I married a Russian (sorry dude I know you're from Ukraine) There are some feminine ones for sure from the USA but if they are pretty they will be out of reach unless you're really brining something to the table or they will be milking men for cash and dinners to the point it's a career (onlyfans).

This is where you need to really be doing your work then. Do you love yourself? Do you believe you have inherent spiritual value?

Why? Are you feeling bad about anything in particular? This sounds more like unresolved issues and beliefs. What do you believe about yourself and why do you believe it? I would be journaling a lot if I were you to really understand what’s going on. It sounds like you aren’t entirely sure yourself.

@Carl-Richard my point was pretty vague. I’m simply saying I don’t really know what degree of exercise and activity leads to longevity. I used to lift weights and do strength training. I was no bodybuilder or avid lifter. I’m saying I’m not sure even being an athlete means you’ll live a longer life. I’m trying to understand how much time I reasonably need to put into athletics and exercise to live to 100 and stay mobile and be reasonably strong enough to defend myself and my family. Depends on the program and how advanced you are. For people training who have passed intermediate level programming there are advanced programs that have one rep max for lower body lifts, usually deadlift, sometimes squat. Obviously for most novices (90% of lifters) you won’t be doing a program that has one reps for progression.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to see what you’re made of. And I’ve only heard ego lifting used when someone is doing something dangerous or stupid in the gym. A one rep max of a squat or bench/press or deadlift is not ego lifting or dangerous or stupid if done right. It’s showing your absolute best ability to apply force to an object with the miracle of your body.

Mount Kailash is considered the most holy mountain on the plant. Has anyone here visited? I want to go.

Very nice. I looked up trips. So I believe there are basically two treks there. From the Nepal side and from the China side. I believe you need a guide foe both is most cases. I don't believe you can do the trek on your own. A place in a smaller group start around $2000 per person from the Nepal side. I would be interested in coming from the China side though, but to be honest it's hard to choose. I want to see how solo I can go but apparently it's pretty protected, at least from foreigners coming in. If you are making a pilgramidge of sorts or a local I'm sure it's essentially free togo around but I believe it's quite difficult to set up a trip here by oneself without a guide unless you're from the area.

I'm really not sure training a lot even leads to a longer life. I heard there are studies coming out now that are basically saying it's either inconclusive or shows little proof intense training actually makes you live longer or healthier. I think obviously failing to do any exercise and eating junkfood, basically retiring to the TV come 70 basically is giving up your mobility. I'm not saying sitting around and eating junk food vs exercising are the same. Just that I question all the hours people spend in the gym, is it worth it? Is simply staying active, going outside a lot and living with purpose maybe all you need? I say this as someone who has grown jaded with the gym, it's genuinely boring and I'm questioning if it's even extending my life or mobility. My dad never went to the gym, he bikes a lot and eats healthy and doesn't smoke. He moves great for his age for a man in his 70s. My grandpa was lazy in retirement and got zero movement, his brain deteriorated as he spent his retirement in front of the TV, he moved decent up until he died when he was 90 (his mind went away long before his movement). I have my doubts about all this training and weight lifting these days. Seems like if you avoid smoking/alcohol, don't get fat, eat healthy, walk and get lots of sun, obviously some athletics (maybe play a sport that's fun?) and have lots of relationships you care about, you'll live longer than most gymcels. Basically what I'm saying is I don't do all the training I used to, I don't think you need to spend more than 5 hours in the gym a week nor chasing all sorts of super high competitive numbers.

Sometimes, so? Path of least resistance. Find what works. I can do self enquiry journaling and go deeper than most meditations, and enjoy it in the process. I did strength training for almost 5 years. The programming is boring. There's no secret to getting strong. You do 3-4 compound lifts every workout for months on end then do intermediate programming which is more of the same. It's boring compared to playing a sport or hiking. Ok... then do 10 rep max. If the weight went up... then you got stronger. It's just a way of measuring. People who lift a heavy 1 rep max do so because they are strong. It doesn't need an explanation. You get in the gym, do your programming, and if your weight goes significantly up whether it's shown through 10 reps or 1 rep max, good, it means you got stronger after your training and your program works.

lmao who the fuck is listening to bro yap for 38 minutes about losing his boxing match
