Hi, Quick intro about myself I was introduced to self-actualization when I searched "how to get a girlfriend" and stumbled on Leo's video in 2015 or 16 , when i was in 9th grade, I was very surprised by the counter-intuitiveness of his advice and continued watching his videos on "Emotional mastery" . Leo's videos were a gateway into self-improvement for me, it completely blew me away that I could change my life for the better inside and outside. My life no longer felt like a game of luck, I could choose any aspect of my life I want to improve, work on it and actually see results. I would like to thank @Leo Gura for giving me that paradigm shift. I am eternally grateful for that. Thank you. I was amazed when I was introduced to the spiritual concepts as well, I educated my self a lot on it, did a lot of inquiry work and was surprised to see what I thought I was. This went on for 2 years. But I currently I am more focused on my life purpose and career. Talking about present day, I am 21, I am software engineer, a fresher, my first job. I even have a girlfriend now, I could barely talk to girls before,Now i have way more self-esteem and confidence. Most of my relationships are all suprisingly healthy because I have developed empathy and people skills. Books on relationships and how to make friends have helped a lot, I also have a consistent habit of working out.It has become my core habit. A daily habit used to seem impossible to have before. Meditation is also becoming a more consistent habit for me. Up until now my life purpose was and still is to "Become the best artist I can be, and to have positive influence on the world with my art". So for 4 years i went to college for Computer science, every day came back home and worked on my art. Art_instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adi_creates/?next=%2F youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2AVD_m92dFNnWS_PAAypTw I was very ambitious and wanted to establish my presence online and make stable money out of art before I graduated . But reality said otherwise. So instead I am a software engineer 4 months in, I like coding and the job pays very well ,but i still haven't given up on my art. I still try to put in the hours. But life is getting very very comfortable, because of money, security and all the good things that i have . I rejoice these things, but i want to do more, do better in many areas of my life. But when I bring up this desire to my friends and colleagues they don't get it because they are not that exposed or bought into the idea of continous self-improvement. I want to associate with people who are self- actualizing and hence i have decided to try sharing and connecting with people on this forum. I will try to share here regularly. Nice to meet you, Adi

Interesting...well i think part of having a Life Purpose is how you are going to impact the world..and porn doesn't do a great job in spreading positive influence..the videos you record will be used as something pleasurable by random people on the internet they could be kids,old people,poor people.etc They will spend a huge percentage of their lives jerking off and and feel negative effects of this in other areas of their life. They won't even know that there is something called a Life purpose , they will be completely blocked from creating a dream life for themselves. Instead of shooting videos maybe you could marry a shemale? and society usually doesn't treat shemales equally..so you could influence people around you ( research more about unconditional love) by writing books about it/public speaking you could become a teacher in the field of sex education and focus on topics about "Sex with shemales" and so on.. In the end its your decision..think long term and see where this stuff this going to lead you

@Telepresent Thank you so much,i'll do my best

I have been watching Leo's videos for over an year now.I took a break of about 5-6 months to research on enlightenment after seeing Leo's videos..and ran into Eckhart Tolle and other teachers and I have evolved a lot spiritually(life has gotten better).I used to focus massively on the PRESENT moment and try to become more aware.But I wasn't anything equal what I'm experiencing right now....Wow!! I just watch Leo's rant on morality and while watching it I tried to become aware of the "Shoulds" in my head and slowly everything became so clear to me I was moralizing in all kinds of ways .My monkey mind moralized on everything from "good habits"to "enlightenment" and slowly and gradually I started feeling lighter and less protective. When saw my face in the mirror, I had a wierd/amazing smirk on face and i currently feel invincible.But as always I still feel I have only seen the "tip of the iceberg " as Leo always says.Ive never had a sudden awakening experience but all I see is gradual amazing leaps. Thanks you so much Leo and I promise you that this won't be the last time I thank you ?

Oct 14 sorry i skipped 7 days of the journal because of preferences......Today was a really interesting day i meditated as ive been doing for past 4 days continously and day went pretty smooth i studied for the upcoming exam and watched some of leos very old videos from 2014 and learned a lot and th e most interesting part was when i sat down to masturbate after long time i suddenly told myself to become a aware there was this sudden contraction of this desire in me and it felt so amazing and for the past 3-4 hours up till now it feels like my head is filled with energy and i feel so happy and i also got to know know that i will be receiving my black belt after a few months once i complete my karate test

"Surrender is the inner transition,from resistance to acceptance,from no to yes"-Eckhart Tolle

Oct 7th today i've realized so much about surrendering...As a child me and my father had very less communication. He was working far in the middle east. Later when me and my mom came to where he was working to live with him it went pretty smooth in the beginning. I was 7 years old back then..even though we were pretty cool with each other the father-son bonding really wasn't developing. I knew very little about his behavior...when ever he used to shout at me like a madman i had done something i used get alert and defensive as hell at a very young age felt the urge to physically fight with him but obviously he was way stronger. where i come from that is "INDIA' beating your children if they didnt listen to is considered okay to do. But i always to took it as extremely offensive...so i've never asked for a gift or any other thing from him unless and until it was absolutely necessary for school needs or such...when he used to teach me math when i was in 6th grade or so we fought so much...and still it was fine but deep inside i knew there was a special ego defense mechanism built especially for my father. But he would always end the fight with a joke for which i could never stop laughing.but the remains of hatred is still embedded within me and im trying become aware of that and surrender every time whenever i get into fight with him. He shouts at me mostly for my lack of achievements he compares me with other students who win prizes in many extra curricular activities...and i believe in doing extra curricular activities for the enjoyment of it for every step of it and not the award Anyway im studying in 11th grade right now and today we fought and i was unable to surrender through the fight...and only later did i surrender internally to reduce mental noise......because of sudden emotional outbreak my entire body feels so weak.So i plan to surrender every time we fight and he's not as bad of a human being as ive described him...ive seen worse...i need to practice surrendering and observe my ego.

Oct 6th "stillness speaks"-Eckhart Tolle that on top is no quote it is just the name of a book yet it holds so much meaning. In todays 30 mins of self inquiry ........."who am i?"..... for whatever reason didn't work at all..then after the session i was about to sit on my computer chair to type todays addition to the journal i heard the subtle creaking sound of my chair or show do i say i listened to it. I've heard theres a huge difference between listening and hearing.. when i listened to it it hit me deep through my ears and brought myself to amazing state of presence /stillness speaks....and today i would like to reveal my my passion for art here check out me and my cousins art page on instagram we are making good progess in drawing potraits of celebrities and other drawings too...THE ART BROS <-----CLICK ON LINK TO CHECK IT OUT

hello i know that this an old post but still.... What your are experiencing is taht you are feeling inner boday.I practice feeling the inner body so as to get spiritual growth i learnt this method from eckhart tolles book power of now. This method of feeeling my body from inside has helped increase me happiness levels by a large margin. However i would recommend you rerad eckhart tolle's book before trying anything

Wow such an inspiration!!

Oct 5th Today i've watched some Leo's videOs such as: -Understanding neurosis -levels of personal development The second video made me realize a lot and opened me up to the fact that i had to apply so much more in real life to understand leos teachings and the first one helped me observe my overeating habits even though i'm not obese at all and also my habit of lying for ego defense. Later i sat on my sofa in erect position and felt my inner body to help me stay present then all ofa sudden i spontaneously asked my self "who am i?" which i rarely did because nothing really happened when i did so a half a year before but this time had questioned my self outside of my conceptual understanding and suddenly entered into intense state of presence. One main thing I've noticed over the past few days is that I've been able so see a much wider angle through my than i ussually due( if that is actually significant in terms of Spiritual Growth)

WOW!! So much in 13 minutes!! Really informative thank u so much this will help me so much

List of things i want to achieve in the next 5 years: 1)to become a well known comci artist on the web 2)to completely finish a full fledged comic book story online 3)increasing my level of consiousness 4)scoring good marks

Hey there everyone this is my first post on this forum and i would like to share my progress in self actualization, So it goes like this one fine day when i was depressed that i couldn't talk to or even approach my crush....last year in november,on that particular day i had given her a potrait of her face as her birthday gift indirectly by passing it thru her friend.She came to me and thanked me in school but i couldnt say a word i was standing there blushing and smiling and then she slowly left...i was both happy and sad...she already knew i liked her but words wouldnt come out my mouth. That same day i searched on youtube "how to get a girlfiend" Leo's video popped up....i watched and got the exact opposite of what i was hoping for....i was mindblown...and so everyday i owuld sit and watch his videos and try to digest his advice.But i rarely applied his advice any where in life.When i saw his meditation video i began to do that everyday , the feeling was amazing..and when i saw his spiritual enlightenment my whole life changed....i realized so much in one go. And so i started researching on spiritual enlightenment read more than 10 books about it....My favourite was eckhart tolles books i practiced intense presence every day it has changed my life a lot i never really regularly meditated but as im typing this im hearing the sounds of the keyboard and seeing the computer screen....im PRESENT.While researching and practing presence i had stopped watching leos vids and started applying.During the month of May or April i decided to confess my love to the girl i had a crush on for 2 years 9th grade to 11th grade....It took a week of trying gain confidence and trying to find the right moment and finally i mustered up courage and told her words came automatically out my mouth....when told her "i like u" she told me she knew then i told her 'I love u" she smiled and told me she didnt share the same feelings..i wasnt depressed i was happier than ever....i couldnt believe i was happy.....then my grandad died i weeped a bit but it didnt stick to me i felt so independent....and NOW i have started watching leos vids again and i am try to improve my other parts of life and feel so great. Thank you LEO for completely changing my life for the better... U have no ideea how badly i want ot express my gratefulness
