  1. @mystic anxiety can at times be good too. Plus being a little nervous under pressure is ok, that's something everyone of us experiences. The only thing you have to make sure is that that pressure of yours should not infect your performance. Anyway it's good to hear that things are better for you. All the best for any of your future presentations ps. I know talking about presentation is one way in which you are trying to present the situation
  2. @popi I don't know about stores (but I don't find a reason why the stores wouldn't have a book so glorious), it's available online.
  3. worry simply consumes, and to no means, a lot of physical and mental energy which could be otherwise put to a lot more efficient work. Take a 20-30 minute break and go for a walk. Have a chilled glass of water for it helps your Brain relax. Think of your big picture and remind yourself that you have greater things to do than worry about a presentation.
  4. You're looking for a complete package and that ain't possible, trust me. Let go of the need of the perfect, let go of the need of anyone to be honest. Work on yourself and make yourself worthy of the perfect. Plus you don't necessarily have to be with a super actualised person, everyone is a part of personal development in one way or the other, consciously or unconsciously. If you like her, help her with her self actualisation. Work on yourself.
  5. is leo manipulating us? Totally! But in a positive sense, and he's not doing this to earn dollars for that can be a great motivating factor, even for him, but more than that, he does it so that he can contribute to the world. leo is using behavioural design mentioned in the video for good. Listen to the end part carefully, the last 1 min part especially, hopefully you'll get what i'm trying to say
  6. @Natasha I did. Turmeric is always healthy. Definitely trying the new toothpaste
  7. @NatashaThanks for sharing. I usually use baking soda and salt, It works
  8. umm, you might not like this, but anyway, forget the idea of having a girl at this point. Eliminate the "need" to have a girlfriend. Rather start to work on yourself, every little area you don't like in your life, just change it. Instead of focusing your energy on getting a girl, focus it on being a better version of who you are. I'm sure you're doing that too at this point, but how about first preparing yourself on being better so that it's the girls who actually approaches you. If not completely, at least you can first prepare yourself for about 4-5 months and then try the dating stuff. Watch leo's video on how to be attractive if you haven't. It's of great help. Good luck
  9. @popi try reading the chimp paradox by Steve peters, its pretty helpful and yes the video is a bit funny but helpful too.
  10. learn to burn your feet to the fire. Procrastination is a habit i still struggle with but one thing i've realised is a habit which is grilled in our system from almost since childhood will take time to cure. Be patient but work, HARD. And yea, don't beat yourself up too much for it will only make things worse. try to journalise and note everything you possibly do so that you can track your progress and make corrections. ps. you can read Eat that frog by Brian tracy, its pretty helpful and i would also recommend you to watch a ted talk by tim urban titled, In the mind of a procrastinator, might help you.
  11. Endless memories, yet the bad ones prevail. If the good ones can't be remembered, they can be rediscovered. -Nikkhil Kalia
  12. @spicy_pickles that requires courage and not everyone can do that, well most of them are even scared of a thought like that. The good thing is now you can put your full attention to personal growth without worrying about documents and presentations. All the very best.
  13. Whenever I talk to someone who is less enlightened than I am, the person reminds me of my past days (what I used to be) and the thought which comes across my mind is, damn! What a piece of sh*t I used to be. But it's also a good thing as I kinda feel both proud and relieved that at least I can think of better things than discussing different shades of lipstick.
  14. ok, if I have a 100 million dollar with me, i'll probably use it to make more money and then just repeat the process. Wait. I'd buy the life purpose course first.
  15. I'm grateful for realising that I've been comatose for all my life, realising the fact that there is a way out and realising that I have the power to make this world a better place. Grateful for coming across actualised.org
  16. @Abhijeet Singh it works
  17. @electroBeam first of all, those who love the sound of a 'rich guy' are the ones who are into your money, not in YOU and they will be with you until you have those dollars in your bank and a relationship like that is something I would not call a relationship in the first place. I don't think you would want to have a girl like that, I HOPE you don't want a girl like that. How to be interesting? Be Yourself. Be who you are and be the best version of who you can be. Stop changing yourself so that you can be someone you don't want to be, work hard and work for yourself, on yourself. Be humble and work for a greater cause. Those kind of people attract everyone. They do. If you want some 'tips' apart from that, I would say talk, and by that mean talk about her. Talk about what she likes, what she enjoys. Talk about her interests and don't fake it, take a genuine interest in what she likes. Listen. Women like it when they realise that their presence is being valued. Maintain eye contact but don't intimidate her. Make her comfortable.
  18. More than anything have a smart mouth. Learn to be a little witty and sarcastic. Sense of humour is the key. Girls love it p.s. Telling a girl that you have a lot of money IS boring. Trust me.
  19. @Abhijeet Singh oh I used to and I used to sleep a lot. Still working on it cuz I can't work if I don't have my 8-9 hours of sleep. I want to reduce it to maybe 7 I guess? Just have good amount of nutrients and have water. Plus try to avoid feeling 'lazy' or 'bored'. The best. Ask your mom to throw a mug full of water everytime you oversleep and I'm not kidding. Genuinely talk to her an ask her to help you out.
  20. @Abhijeet Singh are you bored usually? Cuz I myself have experienced this situation and I realised that the biggest reason why this was happening was because for the majority of the time, i did not have much to do. So find a hobby or try to do something productive. Apart from that i'd suggest you to limit your exposure to digital technology, especially at night, like before the time when you sleep. And have green tea, at least twice a day. It makes your body light and active. Increase your water intake too. Oversleeping is also caused when your body is weak and you lack energy, so have a good meal, with all veggies and required nutrients.
  21. @Zane I deeply believe that we all have a responsibility to give our contribution in making the world a better place and as far as my thinking goes, the best way to do that is to help the needy, the underprivileged. I consider a life of service as the most beautiful and satisfying kind of life ever possible because I myself have experienced it. And I just don't mean the poor or the weak, but helping every specie that exists. Humans are the only animals with the gift of thinking and imagining, of making unbelievable changes and the only species with the responsibility of taking care of nature and it's creations. So a selfish life, a life lived without taking this responsibility is a wasted life for me. I hope you get my point.
  22. I'm sure these people are close to you and probably that is the reason you're still with them. I'd suggest you to have a serious talk with these people in a humble manner. Try to make them realise how important personal development is to you if not to them. If they truly care, they will understand. If not then just accept it and move on. You can have new friends anytime, and don't you think it would be better to surround yourself with more like minded people? People who would not just accept you as you are but would also help you to grow into a better person? And yes, your friends are holding you back clearly. I guess you know that already, maybe you're just afraid of admitting it to yourself. And I apologise if I sound rude.
  23. For me, a wasted life would be a life not lived for others. It's worse than merely existing.
  24. First of all, breathe. Calm down. It's okay, this is what we call as life. I really think you're lacking a huge amount of motivation. Listen, you should pat yourself on the back that you had the guts to leave the military and chase your actual dream. Not everyone can do it. Now listen, what were you expecting when you left? Everything will be fine and easy? I hope not. This is the life you chose and you have to fight for it. Learn to take the full responsibility and start from the scratch. And you have nobody to talk to? Really? Talk to yourself. Try to talk to your inner voice. I have a trick, try to imagine that if a person with a similar situation would come to you, what advice would you give him. That's it. The advice you'll give to that person is the advice you'll be giving to yourself. Stop acting like a victim and learn to face your problems. Look it's normal. We all go through bad times and that's ok. Read a bunch of good books because you need some wisdom and motivation. Don't give up yet. Fight like a warrior. Everything that is happening is happening so as to make you a better person, a STRONGER person. And remember, sometimes all we have is ourselves. And if you can't forgive the only person you have, you won't be able to go anywhere.
  25. @Lucifer I know what you're talking about. Don't worry, I set aside a fixed amount from my earnings no matter what for my life purpose course. I literally have a "purchase the life purpose course" in my goal list. Want it really bad. Can't wait to get my hands on it. I hope you save enough soon for the course. Good luck.
