Man, I think this is a deep fundamental question. It's related to your "life purpose". You must find something you enjoy doing. Something that will be fun in the present and beneficial in the future. Maybe start with a goal you would like to achieve this month and come up with a plan for it. Small steps. Try to figure out some small goals and don't stress too much about what you don't like. And Meditation.

Hello, Finally, I'm starting my own business. I'm going o start selling mugs and such things on the internet. But do I need to open an activity or a company to do so? I'm a beginner in this "world" and this legalise dialect seems more confusing than illuminating I'll use company already established to outsource the printing and so on... and those companies already take care of the taxes with the customer. (Plus they're international) All the research I made has not provided me with an answer so far... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I want to do my first detox in a couple of weeks. Since I've never done it I'm not sure what to do. By detox I mean, go on an eating moving regime to expel trash from the body. Has anyone followed a "program" or something? Or maybe as a technique to recommend? ANy guidance would be appreciated it. Thank you!

@BjarkeT Thanks again so much for the comment. Yeah, interesting stuff. Maybe I'll recommend him the books. Thanks!

@Blue is the sea Thank you so much for your comment. I do know the answered for all those questions. I know exactly what the issue is. He is not working a big company and he is seeing some people do that. I'm just wondering if he doesn't get professional help, if I should try and help him... with my limitations.... Once again, thank you very, very much for your response.

@BjarkeT Thanks a lot for your comment. The problem here is that he is already very passionate and good. He has been studying the skills since he was a child... The thing is he is not doing anything ... But all the passion, dedication and skill level is there. Thanks again. I 'm thinking the best thing is just to hope he will get some professional help.

Hello, So I have a friend that I believe is depressed. He is defiantly in a downward spiral. A little context: We both have similar goals, vis a vis career in the arts, film making to be precise, ever since we where very young, we are both in the early 30's now. The thing is he hasn't filmed a single thing in years... he has been felling horrible for years. He is basically waiting that someone will go knock at his door. Many years ago I tried to give him some advice just to break the enercia. He did not respond very well... than a couple of years later it was obvious he was felling bad, (and he told me) he is focusing on felling jealous about people who break into the business and things like that. (By the way we live in a small country with no real film industry.) So that time I tried to give him some motivational words... It was the week Leo's "Strategic Motherfucker" came out, and sent it to him saying, you need to have a plan. Not that I'm very wise but I fell good and I've never been so focus on my "life purpose". That time it went really bad... He got super defensive, to the point that I had to tell him "I'm telling you this has a friend, but don't worry I won't bother you with this again." Fast forward a couple of years and he sends me an email, saying in fact he need to talk to someone. We exchange a few emails... again he was a bit defensive, and then one day day we spoke face to face. He is REALLY not doing well... I tried to motivate him a bit, the main things being trying to get him to move and to stop being so dogmatic in his views of "how to make it" Even showed him a platform where he can write and post pictures and get well paid for it. That night he seemed better. He seemed very enthusiastic , at least with that platform. This was already some months ago... maybe 4... he still hasn't even posted a single pictures (he has 10000 professional amazing ones). Send him an email last week and he told me he was indeed doing worst... and that is all he has to say about it. (Sorry for the long intro) So here is my question. Should I help him? I've tried a few times... The last time we spoke face to face seemed to have had given some fruits. I've told him a few times to go talk to a psychiatrist but I doubt he has done it. I would like to help him, I've knowed him my all life, and he doesn't really has any friends or family he can talk to... Plus he is extremely talented. I would like to help him, but don't know if by trying again, would only hurt us both. Any Advice is greatly appreciated.

Hello, I need your help! So, my girlfriend was invited to a party (only her even thou I know the person organizing it) And I am not comfortable with her going. But I don't want to tell her " Don't go!" Mainly because I hate telling people what to do. So... any ideas on how to bring it up and stuff? Extra info: The fact that I'm not comfortable with this is not created by " she will go to a party without me"... there are a lot of things there, including the people that will be there, some hate me and want me out of her (/their) life. She can get carried away with alcohol and other things.. I do not have much experience with relationships, enjoyed being single for a long time. And normally the fact that I'm not ok with this would be enough to break it up, but I really don't want to do that... We have a very big walk in a life defying path coming soon. (For both of us) Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Porn does not do anyone any good I think, specially if it is coming from an impulsive state. I think getting professional help can be useful but only if you are aware that it is only an extra and that you can do it without it. Here is a very good video Leo did on overcoming addiction. https://www.actualized.org/articles/overcoming-addiction Yes, find another activity to do when those urges appear. Like meditation, a sport ( I would recommend a martial art) , gardening, ice cream, eating.... My point being you can just end it, I know it seems over simplified but that's it. Clinic and diagnosis can be helpful, but you just have to be strong and dedicated.
