How To Exploit People To Grow Yourself - An Advanced Technique https://youtu.be/XQewAOgoxCE Leo from actualised.org explains how exploiting others can be a powerful personal development technique Exploitation in this context means using conflicts and clashes with others as opportunities to grow and improve self-understanding and self-control People often behave in negative ways because they don't understand fundamental principles of success and happiness As a student of self-mastery, you may feel bad for those who don't understand these principles and try to help them However, people often reject or become angry at attempts to show them their own flaws Instead of trying to directly teach these principles to others, use the opportunity to grow and improve yourself Practice detachment and non-judgment to avoid getting caught up in other people's negative behavior Use these situations as opportunities to practice self-control and self-mastery This will ultimately lead to greater success and happiness for yourself and potentially for those around you as well.

Judgment - How You Ruin Your Own Happiness https://youtu.be/6RaA5eQlCsU Judgment is when the mind splits the world into arbitrary divisions of good and bad Judgment can be applied to people, objects, situations, or oneself Judgment is a survival mechanism used by the mind to maximize fitness Good and bad do not exist in reality, they are created by the mind Constant judgment can lead to unhappiness and suffering because it creates mental divisions and conflict To stop being overly judgmental, one can practice mindfulness, acceptance, and compassion Mindfulness involves being aware of one's thoughts and feelings without reacting to them Acceptance involves accepting things as they are, rather than trying to change them Compassion involves understanding and feeling empathy for the suffering of others By practicing these three things, one can reduce judgment and increase happiness and peace of mind. People who are self-actualized derive strength and happiness from being in reality and accepting it as it is People frequently make micro judgments about people, situations, and objects on a subconscious level Making these judgments can lead to neurosis and a lack of satisfaction An example of dropping judgments is experiencing a beautiful sunset and feeling a sense of peace and connection to reality In order to become more self-actualized, it is important to notice and let go of these micro judgments A way to practice this is to observe your surroundings and let go of the need for anything to be different Another way is to practice mindfulness and bring attention to the present moment without judgment It is also important to work on accepting and loving oneself, as well as developing a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
